When: Late afternoon
Rating: PG-13
Status: Closed, completed
Summary: Voldemort invites Bella over to discuss her recent exploits, and he debates giving her one of his horcruxes for safe keeping. Deciding he will, he invites her to dinner the next evening, and sends her off with instructions on what to wear next time.
He should hide them, he thought. Better than he had them hidden now. He should hide them separately, so they weren't all together. So easy to find. Not that he worried that anyone might find, or destroy, them ... but it was possible.
Dangling the locket, he let it sway back and forth before his eyes. He had an idea of where he wanted to put this one ... he'd simply have to arrange a few things first.
The rest of the items though...he'd have to think about those. Where they should go. Where they should hide.
One, of course, was already well tucked away, and he smiled. That one, at least, would remain buried forever. In the secret room only he knew of.
Much like this room.
Settling the locket back inside the box, Voldemort closed the lid. He replaced the wards to lock the box which he then slipped into a hole in the wall. The hole was blocked with a brick and that was warded. Starting up the stairs, he entered into his bedroom. Turning, he ran his wand tip down the wall, turning the door into just another section of wall.
His room. His very private room with his very private stash of treasures.
Smiling, and in a fairly good mood, Voldemort decided to see what sort of trouble his followers were up to today. But first ... there was the matter of a ball.
Penning a brief note on a scrap of parchment, he attached it to the leg of his crow before sending the creature toward the Lestrange residence. The note read simply:
Come to me now.
There was no signature ... but she would know who it was from.
