Chapter 2 A Conspiracy in Hogwarts
Belle successfully came into the platform of nine and three quarters. "Wow, it is so AMAZING!" Belle marveled at the scenes around her.
She rushed on the train and chose a seat randomly. A girl who also rushed on the train at the last second sit behind her.
"Hi, I am Lucy. Nice to meet you! I am a freshman of Hogwarts. What's your name?"
"I am Belle. Nice to meet you, too." Said Belle, she looked up and down to the girl who was talking to her. Lucy has a brown bob hair, her two blue eyes shone with vigor. She seems like a clever, extroverted girl.
Lucy took out a case of candy and gave it to Belle.
"These are Birtie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Have you ever tried it before? There is no way to guess which flavor of the bean you will get without tasting it."
The train kept moving. In the noisy carriage, Belle and Lucy became friends.
In Hogwarts, there were abundant of activities for students to attend. Belle attended the welcome party, the witchcraft competition, the Christmas party…and so on. To her, the life in Hogwarts was full of novelty. She studied very hard and never waste her time.
A night in December, Belle went to the library to find some references for her assignment. She decided to sneak in the area of forbidden books in the library with her invisibility cloak. She walked soundlessly, stopped at a dusted bookshelf. Belle started to skim through all the books on the bookshelf. When she opened an old, wine-red-colored book, an angel with black furs who called Lucifer came out, floating in midair.
"Who… are you?" Belle trembled. She stammered out the question slowly.
"I am Lucifer, the fallen angel who has hidden in the book for hundreds of years," said the black angel, he continued, "Now, since you has awakened me, I have a mission for you to complete. Can you please do me a favor?"
"What kind of mission it is?" Belle doubted. The stranger in front of him seemed to be polite and sincere.
"Well, it's quite simple. There is a bottle of perfume hiding in a mysterious basement. The perfume can help me restore my energy after I sprayed it on my body."
"Oh really? It sounds magical."
"It truly is," put in Lucifer, "I need that magical perfume because I am so weak right now. However, only the human being can successfully acquire that perfume."
"Also," Lucifer went on, "If you help me get the magic perfume, I will provide you tons of books for you to read forever, no matter what kinds of book that you want to read. I know you loves reading. You would help me, right?"
Belle contemplated for a while. Indeed, she loves reading a lot, and every time when she finished all of the new books the prince had bought for her, she needs to ask the prince to buy more new books for her.
"If I help Lucifer, then I don't need to bother the prince, asking him to buy me a lot of books." Belle thought.
"Besides, Lucifer is a kind person. The favor that he wants me to do is just a piece of cake for me."
Hence, Belle promised Lucifer to bring him back the magic perfume.
However, Belle didn't know that Lucifer was truly a liar. The magical perfume hidden in the basement contained a huge power, which can induce all of the angels to overthrow the reign of God together. Lucifer made use of Belle's innocence in order to help him achieve his malicious purpose.
Belle was so naïve that she had no idea she has been deceived.
