Chapter -3.
"Prisoner No.93? What nonsense is that? I'm standing right in front of you, so why is this bloody thing publishing that I, Bellatrix Black, am a prisoner of that dreaded Azkaban?" Bellatrix clutched the Daily Prophet in her hand, almost trying to mold it into a ball.
"Yes, of course you're standing right in front of me; but have you read the date when that paper was published? If you haven't, why don't you look at them again?" Theodore knew that even though the system's version of events might work in his favour, to convince her of the reality of the moment he had to show her proof and the only proof he had at the moment was an old newspaper he had collected.
The newspaper he gave Bellatrix, however, was from a few years earlier, in which the Daily Prophet was once again trying to gain subscribers by exploiting the evil of the Death Eaters; it ended up doing exactly what Theodore wanted anyway, because it was actually really funny to see the reaction on Bellatrix's face.
"Year 1989? That's really funny, because just a few minutes ago when I was in my bedroom, the year was definitely 1973. So how could the time frame change so dramatically in just a few minutes?" Bellatrix was now almost on the verge of scratching her head in confusion.
Theodore, who knew that now was the perfect time to strike the iron while it was hot, walked towards Bellatrix who was looking down and lost in her thoughts, he extended his hand and placed it under Bellatrix's chin and made her look up, who looked him in the eyes and asked, "What are you doing? How dare you look at me with those eyes?"
Theodore was surprised, because he himself did not know what kind of eyes he was looking at her with, he instinctively asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Y-You, don't tell me you actually used some dark magic to kidnap me here, did you? What are you, a psychopath lover or something?" Instinctively taking a few steps back, she began to connect the dots herself; her beloved had told her that he would personally teach her dark magic starting next year; so how could something like that happen, just when the chance to get closer to her beloved had appeared.
"Are you even listening to the words coming out of your mouth? Although you are beautiful that I wouldn't refuse, who would dare to love a lunatic like you, and if there is someone he is definitely trying to take advantage of you." Bellatrix had inadvertently stepped on Theodore's tail causing him to overreact a bit; but despite it being an overreaction everything Theodore said was true.
Like how Tom was aware of the affection he was receiving from Bellatrix and since she belonged to a pious family; he used her talents thoroughly and even manipulated her to such an extent that despite getting to know that Voldy himself was a Mudblood, which she hated even more then muggles, she still showed no reaction.
But since she hadn't reached that stage yet, he had planned all this to show her that she was being manipulated by a mudblood, who she thought was some kind of protector of a pureblood wizard families legacy.
While Theodore who was lost in his thoughts after almost lashing at the yandere, Bellatrix on the other hand now looked at Theodore in a bit of a weird way, and thought, 'Why does it seem like what he's saying is true?' Though how she appeared here and whether this man in front of her actually did dark magic to call her here or not was still unclear.
But one thing was as clear as day in her mind after looking at this man, that is, this man doesn't look older than twenty one, so there's no way he's romantically involved with her, because she's way too old for him. But why his eyes look like he's found something he's been looking for for a long time just by looking at her, that was something she didn't understand at all.
Ding.. Congratulations to the host, the summoned character Bellatrix's favourability toward you has increased.
Hearing the system prompt, Theodore saw that Bellatrix's favorability towards him had increased by five points and now it had reached thirty points, 'What is this? Did I inadvertently do something that caused this?' he thought and looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him, who was also looking at him as if she wanted to ask a question.
"What is it? Are you now now convinced that I was telling the truth?" Theodore asked, relieved, because Bellatrix wasn't that stone-hearted, or maybe she hadn't reached her insanity phase yet. Anyway, he was grateful for that, because he didn't want such a beautiful woman to disappear because of her crazyness.
"Convinced? for some stupid reason i feel you're not lying; but then what about the Dark Lord? Are you saying that he lost too because if he was still out how could I go to the prison, when he had started paying special attention to me lately, and let me look like a drunken bitch in prison, more importantly how could someone like him lose when he was revered as a symbol of power?" Bellatrix said, even if she wanted to, how could someone equal to Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of the current wizarding world, lose to that sore group of losers, this was completely unacceptable, and more importantly, was this what she would look like after being captured by the Aurors and sent to Azkaba to rot amongst those horrible Dementors, if she had known something like this was going to happen, she would have never signed up for that Death Eater troop.
'No! How can such thoughts suddenly come to my mind? Why do I feel so weird after coming here.' Realizing that she was having conflicting thoughts towards her or her forced belief, she shook her head vigorously to throw away all the thoughts that were trying to stick to her head.
But then seeing Theodore looking at her like she was a lunatic, she for some reason stopped herself from doing so, and then clearing her throat she asked, "Was it that old man Dumbledore who defeated the Dark Lord?" But seeing Theodore shaking his head at her question she said, "Don't tell me, was it the Ministry of Magic? That incompetent rubbish pile of officials is nothing but a joke."
Theodore couldn't help but smile upon hearing Bellatrix speak like this, even though this was his first time seeing her, he liked this version of the infamous Bellatrix more, and since their conversation had now reached toward the topic of Tom, it was time to drop a big bomb to try to shake whatever trust she had developed towards that snake bastard at this point of time, "No, it wasn't the Ministry of Magic nor that old man Dumbledore, it was just a little kid who killed the so called symbol of power, or what you call him, the Dark Lord and the same person what I know as a Mudblood who pretends to be the savior of the purebloods, using their fanatical fantasies."
