Although Snape and Lily are completely cold, it does not mean that James has won the final victory.

"Why do I feel that Lily has treated me a lot colder recently?" James was puzzled, "Do you think it's because I got involved in her and Snape's affairs?"

"I don't think so." Sirius plucked the guitar strings lazily, "It seems that she suddenly treated you badly one day after that."

"Then what do you think is going on here?" James felt extremely aggrieved, "it was Snape who lost his mind and not me—dammit! Remus opened our email!"

After nearly two weeks, James finally received the receipt.

"My intuition tells me that he has seen your email a long time ago, but it took him so long to decide whether to open it." Sirius sighed deeply, "I don't think he will reply—even if he will If so, it will take another two weeks or so—but I think you can start worrying about another thing, maybe that will make you temporarily forget about being frustrated in love..."

"If you want to mock me, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, okay?"

"Is your band still planning to form?" Sirius asked, "The building that DeathEater used to use is still vacant."

James jumped up from the bed with a carp: "Group! Why not group!"

late at night.Bella is revising the PPT she will use for her speech tomorrow, when the screen of the phone lights up, showing a new text message——

"I'm downstairs from you."

From an unknown number.

Bella stopped typing for a moment, her eyes swept across the screen, and then quickly grabbed the phone and put it on the table.When she looked at the computer again, her brows were unconsciously knit together.

A motorcycle roared past a street away.

There was a faint sound of music coming from the apartment opposite.

I don't know where there is a group of people laughing.

Snapped--

Bella slammed on the keyboard a few times as if venting, and then slammed the table hard.She strode out of her room before a book was knocked to the floor.

Narcissa hid on the balcony and muttered that she didn't know who she was on the phone with. Regulus stayed in his room. Bella grabbed her coat and pushed the door out.

Within minutes of taking the elevator down, she had rehearsed her lines countless times.

"You shouldn't be here," she said.

Tom was leaning against the street lamp and smoking a cigarette slowly. He looked at the still brightly lit sports center at the end of the street: "I want to come here to have a look."

Bella knows what he wants.Like countless times before, he will definitely speak to her.But why didn't he go to Miss Hezipba?

"I'm thinking……"

"I still have something to do." Bella stared at the void and said, "If you have nothing to do, I will go up first."

There was a palpable look of anger in Tom's eyes.He threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed the sparks: "Bella, I..."

"There's one thing you might want to know." Bella knew she might never say it if she didn't say it again. "I—I—I should be getting married after graduation," she said decisively, with At the same time, I heard the sigh from the bottom of my heart, "And Rodolph Slestrange."

silence.

Then Tom gave a quick chuckle—cold, ironic—and he came a few steps closer, shadowed: "Bella, don't tell me you're looking for Rodolph Slestrange. Before the Internet was so developed, his scandals and gossips were already the stuff of people's gossip."

"Now he is a successful businessman and an investor with many developments, not to mention his family's ancestry is quite traceable to ours." Bella mechanically repeated what Walburga said when he sold Rodolphs to her, " Anyway, at least we're the same kind of people."

"That's not what you said, Bella." Tom's voice softened eerily, "You never wrong yourself." He held out his hand to her, "Lestrange is not good enough for you, Bella." La, he doesn't understand you at all."

"Spare your words, Tom." Bella felt her tears filling rapidly. "You should leave those sweet words to Hepzibah-Smith!"

Tom withdrew his hand abruptly: "Why do you—"

"I saw it with my own eyes." Bella couldn't help laughing sadly. "I won't buy you this time. You can go—goodbye, Riddle."

She swipes the key card to open the door, enters the door, squeezes out tears as she walks through the hall, presses the elevator, and walks into the elevator, all at once.

This is the dignity a Blake deserves.Bella looked at herself in the mirror and warned again.Everyone makes mistakes.

"I saw the two of you talking downstairs." Narcissa came from the balcony when she entered the house, and she carefully studied Bella's face, "Have you ever cried?"

"I didn't," Bella said succinctly. "It's all over."

"Very good," said Narcissa, "you finally see him clearly."

"Then who are you calling? Lucius?"

"Yes." Narcissa readily admitted, "We're back together."

Bella had expected it a long time ago, but she was still unavoidably surprised: "Didn't you always think that the relationship between the two of you was purely based on interests?"

"There is nothing wrong with the relationship of interests." Narcissa said meaningfully, "I know what I want, and that's enough."

Bella froze, her sister staring at her calmly.

"I don't want to be like you or Andromeda," Narcissa added.
