Hogwarts Lion Girl

Seeing her like this, Sirius' heart moved. He knew that his guess was right. The cunning guy Voldemort must have given Bella something!

He continued to probe: "Tell me, what is it?"

Bella woke up suddenly. She raised her head vigilantly, staring at Sirius with her cloudy eyes, like a beast cornered.

She asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to do? Nothing...nothing..."

Sirius raised his eyebrows and said in a sarcastic tone, "He gave Regulus a very important locket..."

He paused deliberately, observing Bella's reaction, and then continued: "But you have nothing, and yet you can still say that you are his favorite..."

Bella jumped up from the ground when she heard Sirius mention Regulus' name.

She was like an enraged female beast, her cloudy eyes almost spitting fire, and she roared hoarsely, "Why does that little bastard have the right! I have one too!"

She waved her skinny arms violently, her sharp nails gleaming coldly in the dim light, "The Dark Lord gave me a golden cup, and he asked me to keep it well!"

Bella suddenly fell silent when she said this, as if she was lost in some memories. A strange light flashed in her bloodshot eyes. She looked around carefully, as if confirming something, then lowered her voice and said in an almost pious tone: "I have always protected you well!"

Sirius' eyes lit up and he asked quickly: Where did you put that thing?

Bella suddenly burst into laughter, and her laughter echoed in the empty cell, sounding particularly harsh.

As she laughed, she nervously combed her messy hair with her hands, and a strange light flashed in her cloudy eyes.

“A place that is absolutely safe!” She suddenly stopped laughing and lowered her voice. She spoke in a tone that was almost like a murmur with a hint of crazy complacency, “Hahahaha…Except for me, no one can open it…”

Bella said in a sharp and piercing voice: "You want to know? Then beg me!" She deliberately lengthened the voice, with a hint of vicious pleasure.

“Hahahaha…” She laughed so hard that she almost couldn’t breathe. “I won’t tell you even if you beg me! Hahahaha… Lord Dark Lord!”

Bella laughed crazily, her shrill laughter echoing in the empty cell like the cry of a night owl.

……

At number 12, Grimmauld Place, the fire in the fireplace crackled, illuminating the serious faces in the room.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix are discussing the information they received from Bella.

Remus frowned and tapped the tabletop with his index finger again and again, making a dull sound. The wood burning in the fireplace crackled, casting a flickering light on his face. "She said he put his things in a completely safe place. Where could it be?"

Tonks frowned slightly, turned her eyes away from the jumping flames, turned to Remus, and whispered: "Could that crazy woman be lying to us? Maybe there is no such thing at all."

Sirius shook his head, and Bella's crazy look and the fanatic look in her eyes when she talked about the "Golden Cup" emerged in his mind. He reached out and fiddled with the burning wood in the fireplace, and said with some certainty: "No, no, she wouldn't lie in that state at that time."

Salina reminded quietly: "Maybe we can change our thinking. If you want to hide something, where do you think is the safest place?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "The safe in Gringotts?"

As soon as Harry finished speaking, the originally solemn atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix looked at each other, and a glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in their eyes.

Sirius slapped his thigh and stood up from his chair excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He said, "That's right! The thing must be there! The safe in Gringotts!"

Moody pondered for a moment, tapped the pipe in his hand on the table, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "But how can we get that thing? The goblins are not easy to deal with. They are famous for guarding their treasure houses strictly..."

Sirius smiled and said, "She is my cousin. My blood can also open the vault. I just need a key..."

Hearing this, Remus turned to Kingsley and said, "If she had the key with her when she was arrested, it would be in the Ministry's evidence room now."

Tonks suddenly spoke up, frowning slightly, tucking a strand of short purple hair behind her ear, and asked curiously, "Why can't it be at her husband's house? Rodolphus Lestrange's house?"

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the burning wood in the fireplace.

The group of men were silent, looking at each other but no one spoke.

At this time, Molly broke the slightly awkward silence in the room. She raised her head and explained in a tactful tone: "Because she and her husband don't have a good relationship."

Tonks understood immediately. She raised her brightly colored eyebrows and said "Oh" cheerfully. She turned her gaze to the other men in the room and asked with a mischievous smile, "Is that so? You all know this? It seems that their relationship is indeed terrible."

Arthur couldn't help but cough lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room and getting the topic back on track: "Kingsley, maybe we need to find a chance to go to the stolen goods room and take a look."

He said, looking up at Kingsley with a questioning look in his eyes.

Kingsley pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said in a firm tone: "Okay, I will find a way to create an opportunity for you."

……

After returning to the room upstairs, Harry couldn't wait to pull Salina and asked curiously: "Salina, why does everyone know that Sirius's cousin and her husband have a bad relationship?"

Salina looked at Harry's eyes full of curiosity, thought for a moment, and explained, "Because Bellatrix is ​​Voldemort's fanatical pursuer. She has publicly expressed her love to Voldemort many times."

Harry was stunned and said in surprise: "Really? This is too crazy! What about her husband? Doesn't he know?"

Salina nodded and said, "Of course I know, but this did not affect her high-profile display of love."

Harry was even more shocked. "Why? Doesn't her husband care at all?"

Salina shook her head and explained, "That's not the case. I think it's because their marriage is not based on love, but on family interests. So, although they are husband and wife, they are actually just playing with each other."

Harry's eyes widened, and he felt his worldview being shaken.
