Do better Bellatrix x Voldemort
Bellatrix paced angrily across the room waiting to be let into the room. Her parents were attempting to marry her off to some scum pure blood since she is finally 18. Bellatrix didn’t want to marry anyone; her heart and soul already belonged to the dark lord. She had devoted all her time and energy into supporting him and his goals. Some people would call her obsessed, she calls it being loyal and in love.
Bellatrix didn’t want to get married off to some random pureblood.
Bellatrix only wanted the dark lord.
Her dark lord.
She was positive he felt the same. He always praised her for how loyal she was and admired her for her smarts and beauty. Telling her everything she wanted to hear and more. Bellatrix knew he would never let her family marry her off to someone who isn't him. She was a woman and her family wouldn’t listen to her but they would listen to him. They will listen to a man with power.
The door finally opened and the dark lord walked over to where Bellatrix was pacing. Bellatrix stopped when she spotted him and smiled. He was no doubt coming to tell her that she was not going to be married off to someone who wasn’t him. Maybe he would even ask her to marry him. Bellatrix could only hope he would. The dark lord stood in front of her for a moment not saying a word. Bellatrix waited for him to speak, not daring to speak when she was not supposed to.
After a long moment of silence the dark lord took a breath and spoke. “You are to marry Rodolphus Lestrange and you will not make a scene”
Bellatrix felt her heart break.
No this isn’t right this isn’t how her life is supposed to go.
She doesn’t want Rodolphus, she wanted her dark lord.
“But my lord-” Bellatrix tried to argue but the dark lord held up his hand and she fell silent.
“Don’t argue Bella Rodolphus is a fine man you will be fine I don’t know why you question me” The dark lord sneered staring down at her.
Bellatrix felt small.
She hated feeling small but she loved the dark lord more than she hated feeling small.
“I would never question you, my lord. I am completely devoted to you, only you. If I marry I would have to be loyal to my husband and I want to be loyal to only you” Bellatrix replied, hoping to change his mind.
The dark lord shook his head, grabbing Bellatrix face harshly. Bellatrix froze, staring wide-eyed at him. Her life was in his hands and she would let him do anything to her.
“Make no mistake you are only loyal to me, your marriage to Rodolphus is only to help strengthen me, you are mine” Bellatrix nodded.
“I am yours my lord and if you want me to marry him then I will but know my heart belongs to you and I only want you I will never lay with him or love him I will only love you” Bellatrix said slowly getting onto her knees so that the dark lord was completely towering over her. She let him have all her power.
That’s what love was all about is it not?”
“What makes you think you are worthy of being with me?” He asked.
“I am not worthy but I want to one day be worthy of your love” Bellatrix replied bowing her head.
She was met with more silence but didn’t dare move.
“If you want to be worthy of my love then you need to do better, need to be better right now you look pathetic” He turned around and left Bellatrix.
Left her alone and still kneeling on the floor. Bellatrix felt tears well up in her eyes. She would be better, would do better, she would do whatever it took to gain the dark lord's love. Even if it meant losing everything.
Even if it meant losing herself.
For him it would be worth it.
