struggle

Bellatrix Lestrange hadn't seen the blue sky so clearly for more than ten years. Even though the weather was so cold that she was shivering, she still felt full of excitement, as if there was something in her heart. The fire was burning, making her almost want to scream to express the excitement in her heart.After destroying Azkaban's defense mechanism with others, she almost couldn't wait to plunge into the icy North Sea, struggling to swim towards the shore, the only feeling in her heart was: she was finally free, finally got rid of those dirty Dirty and scary dementors.

When her feet finally set foot on solid ground, she pulled out her wand, stroked it lightly, waved it tentatively, cast herself a quick-drying charm, and found to her satisfaction that her magic hadn't been affected by the dozen or so wands. years of incarceration.Rudolphs Lestrange, who was following her, cast the same spell on himself, and then cautiously leaned forward: "Bella, what should we do next?"

Bella glanced at Rudolphs with some disgust, and frowned secretly because of his cowardly and uninitiated appearance: "Go to Lucius and Sissy first, the Malfoy family has always been the best informed. Let the master know that we are his most loyal subordinates." Without waiting for Rudolphs' reaction, she walked forward with her head held high.

Rudolphs hesitated for a moment, and followed him: "But Bella, shouldn't you go south to Malfoy's house? Why do you go north instead? There are all desolate primeval forests."

"Rudolphus, can you please use your brain?" Bella glanced at him impatiently. "It's daytime, and you plan to visit Malfoy Manor just like this? Don't you think you're It's the second young master of the Lestrange family, a noble son of the upper class, are you going to visit your relatives and friends?"

Rudolphs was a little embarrassed by Bella's sarcasm, and his face was slightly gloomy, but he immediately squeezed out a flattering smile: "Yes, Bella, you have always been the smartest, and I will follow your arrangements."

Bella didn't answer any more, but pulled the long hood on her head again to cover her face. At the same time, she held the wand in her hand defensively to her chest, and tried to pick an inconspicuous path towards the forest in the north. Forward.And Rudolphs followed immediately, also trying to hide his whereabouts carefully as much as possible.

I hid in the middle of the desolate forest for a few days, and at the same time constantly changed my advancing route, avoiding all possible tracers, and slowly heading south.When night fell again, Bella and Rudolphs finally arrived at the gate of Malfoy Manor.As soon as they stood in front of the imposing wrought iron gate, the devoted house elves immediately appeared in front of them, as if they didn't see their strange attire, but still bowed respectfully: "I came from afar! Guest, who are you looking for?"

Bella stretched out her hand, took off a ring from her hand, and handed it over: "Give this to your master, and tell them that an old friend who hasn't seen for a long time is visiting."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The house elf took the ring and disappeared in front of them with a "snap".

"Bella, do you think Lucius will see us?" After the house elf left, Rudolphs approached him uncertainly and asked.

"Yes, Lucius will not spare any room for doing things. If he refuses to help us this time, after we find the master and tell him in the future, wouldn't that prove the Malfoy family's betrayal of the master? So even if he doesn't try his best Helping us will also give us some basic help on the surface, and all I need is this basic help and general information about the current situation." Bella nodded affirmatively, she had a clear understanding of this brother-in-law's cunning nature He knew him, but at the same time, he also had a perfect plan for his possible reaction.

Sure enough, not long after, the house elf came back again and bowed deeply to them again: "Two distinguished guests, please follow me." Only this time, it bowed even deeper, with a long nose It almost touched the ground, and when Bella saw its actions, she gave a satisfied smile, nodded and followed.

Walking towards the main entrance on the creaking gravel road, Narcissa rushed out as soon as she reached the foyer: "Bella, it really is you, Bella, I knew that ring when I saw it, it was ours." It was given to us by our father when we got married."

"Sissy, long time no see." Bella seemed moved, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but you seem to be a lot haggard and a lot older." Narcissa raised her head and gave her a sad look, "And, in your fourth year in Azkaban, Wolb Aunt Jia passed away, and last year, my father also died. In the current Black family, there are only the two of us, and Andromeda and Sirius who were expelled from the house."

"Sissy, don't mention those two traitors. The Black family will never end." Bella held up the ring that Narcissa gave her back. On the ring, the two dogs guarding the shield with one sword and two stars belonged to the Black family. The emblem shone brightly under the light.Bella's eyes were firm: "As long as I am here, I will swear to the death to maintain the eternal purity of our noble and oldest Black family."

Lucius, who was being courteous with Rudolphs, heard Bella's words, and walked over with a seemingly sincere smile: "Bella, I know all about your current situation. The wind outside is very tight now. , you should stay with us first, wait for a while to see the situation, and then decide what to do."

"No, I have to find the master first. I don't believe that the master will die. I didn't believe it 13 years ago, and I still don't believe it now." Bella flatly rejected Lucius' proposal.

Lucius coughed uncomfortably: "Actually, Bella, the master is indeed not dead. And recently, he has returned."

"Master is back?" Bella's eyes lit up instantly, showing an expression of ecstasy, "Lucius, I need to see him, please help me arrange it."

"But, Bella, you're a fugitive from Azkaban, so it's inconvenient to go out." Lucius mused and said, "Azkaban's defense strength is insufficient this time, and you escaped so easily because of the dementia. The monsters were dispatched by the Ministry of Magic to hunt down a fugitive. So now the dementors are often wandering outside, and if they find out, you will all be taken back to Azkaban immediately."

"It turned out that the dementors were dispatched to capture the fugitives. No wonder we broke through Azkaban so easily this time. Lucius, who are they looking for?" Bella stared at Lucius sharply.

"It's Peter Pedro." Lucius glanced at Bella and announced a name she was not familiar with.

Sure enough, Bella asked blankly, "Peter Pedro, who is that?"

"Your cousin Sirius Blake was a good friend and a hero who was considered to be killed by Sirius. He was the recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class." Lucius looked at Bella and slowly heard Sirius' name. With clenched fists, he replied in a drawl, "But recently I heard that Pedro was the real murderer who bombed a street and killed [-] Muggles back then, and Sirius was wronged. "

"I knew that Sirius had been yelling all day in Azkaban that he was wronged, saying that there were other traitors. And he always confronted me, saying that he could not help the master." Bei There was anger in La's eyes, "I don't think he knows what a traitor is. He is the real traitor, the traitor who betrayed the Black family."

Hearing Bella's words, Lucius' gray-blue eyes flashed thoughtfully: "But, the current situation is that Sirius has cleared his charges and returned to your Black mansion—Grimaud Square No. 12. As for Pedro, we only know that he was the real murderer back then, and he is currently on the wanted list, but other details about that year are not clear. No one knows where he was in the past 13 years. It may be Dumbledore and the others deliberately blocked the news."

"Sirius!" Bella said through gritted teeth, "He still has the face to go back to live in the Black mansion. This is a disgrace to the Black family. I will not let him go."

"So, Bella, the situation outside is a bit complicated. You and Rudolphs will stay here for now, and Sissy will accompany you. After the limelight passes, I'll see if I can help you arrange to see the master. "Lucius saw Bella nodded, and an unpredictable look flashed across his eyes, "Also, Gringotts probably won't be able to go now, do you need me to help you to Lestrange's house? What are you getting from your vault? If you need it, give me the key to the vault, and I will help you with it.”

Hearing what Lucius said, Bella suddenly raised her head, showing a mocking look: "Lucius, it seems that you have been talking for a long time, so this is your real purpose?"

"Bella, what are you talking about?" Lucius deliberately put on an insulted and angry look, "Our Malfoy family is also an ancient pure-blood noble family with a long history, and we still look down on your Lestrange family's treasury Those things in it will not be reduced to trying to deceive your property."

Bella sneered: "Yeah, it's not about our property, it's just that in the vault of our Lestrange family, there are not only those Galleons and collectibles, but also something more important. Lucius, Don't take me for a fool. Now that the master is back, he will definitely want to get back the things he temporarily let me keep. And you do everything possible to prevent me from seeing the master, and you want to ask me to get the key to the Lestrange vault, except Want to ask the master for credit, what is the possibility?"

Lucius choked on Bella's words for a while, and Bella walked close to him, stared at him and said word by word: "Lucius, arrange for me to meet the master, just tell me He, I will hand over to him the key to the Lestrange vault with my own hands."

Bella's black eyes stared at Lucius's gray-blue eyes unrelentingly, and after a while, Lucius finally nodded: "Okay, I will convey it to the master for you to see if he is willing to come to see you. "
