Note: This one has two different scenarios. Just follow the notation as best you can. ^_^;;;
Blame: Where did Bella and Tom (Voldemort) disappear to at the end of OotP?
Even though she'd Apparated before, Bella was just a bit disoriented. "Tom," she said, putting a hand on her head, "where are we?" Her head was pounding and the blinding sunlight of their new surroundings wasn't helping any.
(v. 1) "Honolulu, Hawaii." Bella's eyes snapped open and then shut just as quickly. For the split second she had been able to see, though, it had been a gorgeous view. The trees were a luscious, vibrant green, the flowers bright reds, yellows, blues, purples, oranges. More slowly this time, Bellatrix Lestrange opened her eyes.
The scenery was, quite frankly, incredible. Her eyes traveled with experience around the small clearing they were in. Nothing threatening at the moment was her observation.
"Tom," she said softly, "why are we here?" Voldemort chuckled, a dry, rasping sound that caused Bella to raise an eyebrow.
"That, my dear Bella, is what you are soon to find out." He closed the distance between them and set a hand on her shoulder, pushing her back against a tree. The leaves were dripping a little bit of water down her back, but those were only minor distractions. Tome began his assault by trailing kisses down her jawline to her mouth, which was invadedmost forcefully. Bella smiled-smirked, really-and trailed one hand down Tom's chest. It really hadn't mattered to her that he was the Dark Lord. Right now, he was just another man…and men were a thing she specialized in.
(v. 2) "Walt Disney World." Keeping her eyes closed until she had reoriented herself, Bella raised an eyebrow.
"Disney World?" she asked skeptically. "In the United States?" She slowly opened her eyes, giving them time to adjust to the bright Florida sunshine. She saw Tom taking a drink from a flask.
"Yes. Here, catch," he replied as he tossed her another flask. Bella caught it and continued to look around her as she opened it. They seemed to be in a backstage sort of area. There were trailers and garages, and people half-dressed in costumes.
"It's Polyjuice Potion," Tom explained. "It's to keep people, even these ignorant Muggles, from recognizing you and I for who we really are." He now looked the part of a young, handsome, dark-haired man in his early twenties. Bella was suitably impressed and drank her own potion quickly enough.
Bellatrix found her new form to be pleasing enough; a twenty-something brunette with a killer body. It put her in mind of her own younger days…
She quickly put a stopper on that train of thought. "If I may ask, my lord, why are we here?" she ventured.
"Well," Tom began. His voice changed, somehow becoming forty years younger. "I've always wanted to go to Disney World, and that DisneyLand Paris is such a cheap imitation.:
Bellatrix found that she could not believe her ears. The Dark Lord, the most feared wizard in the world, who had just escaped imprisonment, wanted to go to a Muggle Amusement Park?
"Come, Bella, let's get started!" Tom ran ahead of her, stripping off his robes and revealing Muggle clothes beneath. Bellatrix, not daring to disobey her lord, followed and did likewise. Central Florida had no idea what it was in for.
