Riddle Me This (A Bellamort/ Bellatrix x Tom Fanfic)

Fifth Year

Bella's P.O.V:

As I entered my fifth year at the hell that was Hogwarts, I knew that this was the year.

And I was excited.

I had heard endless tales of him from other Death Eaters who came to speak business with Mother and Father. He seemed... amazing...
He stood for what was right. Only purebloods and half-bloods are worthy of living in the wizarding community. Our blood should not be tainted by... filthy blood.

"Miss Black?" It was Dumbledore again, the daft old bat.

"Professor Dumbledore?" I mocked his tone with an innocent expression.

"Can you please tell me what topic we are covering today?"

"Well, Professor," I began, loosening my tie," you are, at this moment, questioning me. Probably trying to figure out if I was paying attention and attempting to embarrass me if I was."

"Miss Black," he shook his head," a smart alek as always."

"Could you have expected any less?" I winked and pouted at him... but inside I was laughing. They all fell for this act. Sickos.

"Just pay attention in my class," he said turning away.

I grinned in triumph.

Dumbass.

That night, a storm raged outside the castle. I always liked storms. They had a certain strong, wild, uncontrollably dangerous energy about them. I listened to the the rain and thunder and watched the lightning light up our dorm until twelve o'clock, when my eyelids grew too heavy.

"Bella?" Narcissa whispered, shaking my shoulder to wake me.

"...what...?" I mumbled," Cissy, it's one on the morning..."

"I... I can't sleep," she stuttered.

As I sat up, I remembered that she was the opposite of me. She was afraid of storms.

"Lumos," I muttered.

"Sit here," I moved over so that she had room to sit.
She sat and pulled my blanket around her.

"Cheeky!" I said as she giggled. She had pulled the blanket off me, showing my rather... revealing nightwear.

"Hey..." she said," you know that Mother and Father are having you meet Mr Riddle soon... right?"

"They are?" I exclaimed," how soon?"

"Um... next two weeks," she answered," I heard them talking about it."

She jumped as thunder shook the floors, falling off the bed.

"You alright?"I giggled as I picked her up.

"Yeah..."

"Cissy?"

No reply.

The little bitch had fallen asleep on me! The nerve!

"Nox!"

I sighed and put her back in her dorm room.

"Black? Is that you?"

It was the damn form prefect.

"Yeah. And?"

"You should be asleep by now!"

"Oh, bog off! So should you," I snapped as I flopped in bed.

"I'm the prefect!"

"Oh wow. I didn't notice," I said sarcastically.

"I can tell Professor Slughorn that you were up after hours," she said.

"Whatever... do you ever stop talking?" I answered," maybe if you shut up I could actually be asleep!"

"Very funny, Black," she said," but I'll tell Slughorn in the morning. I won't fall for your tricks."

I rolled my eyes in the darkness. What did it matter? I was meeting TOM RIDDLE, the DARK LORD in two weeks!

That night, I slept peacefully, dreaming of Tom...
