Or you can be aloof Andromeda, huge but elusive, the invisible link between the hundreds of stars messing around in your galaxy.

If you want your partner’s attention on you at all times, if you want their world to revolve around you, make sure you’re a star, a sun like Bellatrix. No one is going to revolve around a black hole.

Carving words onto the walls of her Azkaban cell like a madwoman: It's pronounced Voldemort BUT the T is silent...!!!

Absolutely! It’s French, guys.

The canon fact that Voldemort is Bellatrix’s number one supporter is so soothing to me given the depth of misogyny she faces in her world and ours.

[imperatrix-dissoluta]

Voldemort: I decided that I needed an heir.

Bellatrix: Really, Master? What for? You’re immortal.

Voldemort: Because I’m immortal, I’m not allowed to have a descendant?

Bellatrix: I mean... what’s the point? Your legacy is forever secured.

Voldemort: Yes, but what happens when you all die and I’m left alone? You’re all getting old. So many of my followers have turned traitor. The younger they are, the less attached they are to me. I need a loyal, powerful follower who will outlive all of you.

Bellatrix: I definitely agree. The younger they are, the less attached they are to you. Snape—

Voldemort: Stop it, Bella. I should procreate as soon as possible. Children grow slowly, and you all age quickly.

Bellatrix: You could adopt.

Voldemort: Why?

Bellatrix: ...

Voldemort: Are you implying my blood isn’t pure enough?

Bellatrix: No, just... who’s going to give you a child?

Voldemort: Well... I thought...

Bellatrix: I’m married, my Lord.

Voldemort: It has never been a problem before. You’re talking to me as if to a lover at the dinner table in full view of your husband. You want to touch me all the time. And you do.

Bellatrix: Can you even have sex?

Voldemort: What?! What’s wrong with you?

Bellatrix: After your rebirth, your... instrument is still working?

Voldemort: Yes! You should know something about that! I can walk, breathe, fuck. Have you been hit by a Bludger?

Bellatrix: Some people say you’re asexual.

Voldemort: Me? I talk about sex all the time! I’m having nightmares about mating with werewolves, I compare my huge cock to every wizard alive, I’m obsessed with pruning my family tree and legitimising my legacy, and I love my perfect body.

Bellatrix: You’re the most beautiful of all. But Master, if I’d wanted children, I’d have had one with Rodolphus. (Even though I actually said to my sister many times that I would have happily given you my sons to serve you.)

Voldemort: But now I’m asking you. Doesn’t that make a huge difference?

Bellatrix: It does, but I’m in my forties. I could have given you ten sons before Azkaban.

Voldemort: You know, as wizards, we live much longer. We age much more slowly than disgusting Mudbloods, and in any case, I know a hundred potions to help with that. Did I mention I’m the most powerful wizard ever?

Bellatrix: What about a cauldron baby?

Voldemort: What the fuck is that?

Bellatrix: Well, you put your baby self in a cauldron and emerged as an adult man.

Voldemort: ...You understand nothing about the Dark Arts if that’s what you think happened. Do you really think babies appear out of thin air and can simply be brewed in a cauldron? Do you know Gamp’s Law of Elementary Transfiguration? Are you fucking dumb?

Bellatrix: Dumb? Yes, people say that about me... As though I wasn’t the only one who sees clearly who’s loyal to you. As if I wasn’t your most valuable Death Eater, personally trained by you.

Voldemort: Yeah... why are you talking like you’ve turned into Wormtail?

Bellatrix: Have you considered a younger witch?

Voldemort: Who? And why?

Bellatrix: One of the Greengrass girls, whatever.

Voldemort: You want me to fuck a teenager?

Bellatrix: We could use magical IVF, my Lord. It’s such a common thing in our world.

Voldemort: But... why would I inseminate a Greengrass girl when I have a Black woman?

Bellatrix: Do you want to proceed with magical IVF on me?

Voldemort: Why? We’ve been having sex for thirty years. Why are you making so little sense, woman? What’s going on with you? Don’t you want me?

Bellatrix: I’ve shown my desire for you in a hundred different ways, Master! Some people even say I’m an erotomaniac!

Voldemort: You really need to stop reading the trash press, Bellatrix. It’s beneath you to think like that. You know how misogynistic Mudbloods are.

Bellatrix: I can’t believe the Dark Lord is less misogynistic than self-proclaimed feminists... But you’re right. I think I’ve been hit by a Confundus Charm, my Lord.

Voldemort: Obviously. I’m starting to get offended. Do I have to beg you to give me a child?

Bellatrix: Of course not, my Lord. But we should get on with it now. Who knows how many months it’ll take me to get pregnant?

Voldemort: Well, given that we live under the same roof at Malfoy Manor, share the same bed, I’m the most powerful wizard on this planet, and you’re madly in love with me, I’d say we should manage to procreate rather quickly, Bella.

‘Quick, quick,’ said Mrs. Weasley distractedly, hugging them at random and catching Harry twice, ‘Write…. Be good…. If you’ve forgotten anything we’ll send it on…. Onto the train, now, hurry….’ For one brief moment, the great black dog reared on to its hind legs and placed its front paws on Harry’s shoulders, but Mrs. Weasley shoved Harry away towards the train door, hissing, ‘For heaven’s sake, act more like a dog, Sirius!’

I can’t believe Dolores is about to win!

There’s a cat in my neighbourhood who cries like a baby every night to get food. I thought he was famished. I gave him food once. But a few days later I found him in front of another house crying like a baby, and the neighbour gave him food, too. I found his owner and apparently the cat gets food from multiple neighbours! He understood that no one could resist his baby meowing! 🤣

[capriddle]

Shall we talk for a moment about how cute Bellatrix is ​​when she blushes after years because of a compliment from Voldemort? What a sweetheart!

[bellamortedits]

This is brilliant 😂

[imperatrix-dissoluta]

When Voldemort rescues Bellatrix at the Ministry, we could argue that he acts on instinct. He can’t let Bellatrix be captured by the Aurors and sent back to Azkaban. Not even for five minutes.

He does control the Dementors by then, but perhaps he was traumatised by losing his second-best Death Eater, who had been kissed by a Dementor only a year earlier. What if the Aurors ordered a Dementor to give Bellatrix the Kiss without a trial, just as they did to Barty?

A year later, he doesn’t send Bellatrix to infiltrate Hogwarts. Instead, he sends only lowly Death Eaters such as the Carrows, Rowle, Greyback, and Gibbon, who ends up being killed because of Rowle’s stupidity.

Why? Because Voldemort doesn’t think for a second that Draco Malfoy will actually manage to kill Dumbledore. He expects failure. He expects losses.

He sends his least valuable Death Eaters to Hogwarts. If they get arrested, he already knows he’ll free them a few weeks later along with the others captured at the Ministry. And if a Dementor kisses one of them in the meantime, he doesn’t care in the slightest. If one of them dies, like Gibbon, that’s no great loss either.

So, of course, he doesn’t send Bellatrix on such a risky and ultimately farcical mission.

Now, after coming face to face with Bellatrix’s mortality (he’s immortal, yes, but she isn’t), and knowing she’s his last and best lieutenant, it’s actually natural that he’d want a child with her to replace her (it’s a very utilitarian vision of Bellatrix, but this is how things make sense in his brain to keep control on his emotions).

A child he’d raise with Bellatrix to ensure her loyalty.

And why should the child be his rather than Rodolphus’s? Because there’s probably a great deal of delusion involved too. Delphini becomes a new obsession, a new project, one that allows him to avoid thinking about Bellatrix’s eventual death. Delphini is a new kind of Horcrux, now that he’s completed his oldest, most important task and ambition. He’s finally immortal… now what?

Delphini is his way of coping with his abandonment issues. He won’t lose Bellatrix through betrayal, but he will lose her to death. And as we know, losing her will unravel him to the point that his magic explodes with the force of a bomb. That uncontrolled surge of magic only shows that both his fear of her death and his attachment to her are completely repressed and largely unconscious.

His fear of losing Bellatrix, of being abandoned, is the reason Delphini’s birth makes sense.

[imperatrix-dissoluta]

Ok, I’ll stop spamming the tags with my ramblings. Sorry everyone. I’m in one of those phases…

[imperatrix-dissoluta]

When the author of a work uses the modal verb “should” to refer to her own story, you can be sure she’s using a DEONTIC should.

The politeness of her using “should” instead of “must” does not remove the fact that her “should” should must (I’m not polite) be read as “Cursed Child is canon.”

Please, pay attention. She didn’t use “can be considered canon”, she said “SHOULD be considered canon, because I—the fucking author of the books—developed it!”

By the way, it refers to the story of Cursed Child. Not Cursed Child itself, not the play, but the story. It means that you MAY/MIGHT/CAN/COULD probably discuss the wordings of the character’s cues, the exact way Harry is being insensitive to his son for instance. The exact date of Delphini’s birth at Malfoy Manor. The colour of Delphini’s hair, even. Who knows?

But you CANNOT/SHOULD NOT say that Delphini herself is not canon. You can’t say that Delphini is not Bellatrix and Voldemort’s daughter. It’s the actual PLOT of the play whose title is CURSED CHILD!

Should is not a suggestion. It’s not a piece of advice. It’s not optional.

It’s very close to The story of Cursed Child ought to be considered canon. And the second sentence confirms it if there was any doubt, as she’s using her own legitimacy as the author of the books to justify why CC is canon.

Oh, and before I forget, it’s not because an author starts developing a sequel years after finishing her books that she didn’t have the story in mind when she was writing the books.

And of course it’s conjecture. It’s only a supposition. I’m not affirming anything here, I just analysed the text and I came to the reasonable conclusion that JKR was considering the idea of Voldemort and Bellatrix having a child together when writing HBP and DH.

But even if you refuse to believe that, you need to see that all the elements of Voldemort wanting a family are actually present in the books. His special relationship with Bellatrix. His obsession with family, loyalty and legacy.
