<div dir="ltr">Personally I don't think Voldie had any interest in an heir because he expected to be immortal. But that's just my take. As for Bella, she was always a bit nuts and therefore would have slept with him even towards the very end. And of course, the pureblood society was still arranging marriages. Not only Bella's, but also Narcisssa's with Lucius. Love was optional and good, but certainly not required. And honestly, if Rudolphus had any sense he would have been happy to let Voldie have Bella. <div><br></div><div>Crescent</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 6:59 AM 'Hugin' <a href="mailto:renfield1893@gmail.com">renfield1893@gmail.com</a> [HPforGrownups] <<a href="mailto:HPforGrownups@yahoogroups.com">HPforGrownups@yahoogroups.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

enough.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">1. Bellatrix would not have been 'Tom's' Mistress.
He was Lord Voldemort by then and overrode dark wizarding society as a king. The
dark wizards were the only ones to matter to dark wizards and what The Dark Lord
wanted, he got. So I still have a problem seeing them put down for him doing
what he wanted.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">2. It was said that Voldemort could not love. I
mean I guess he could lust but if enough is wrong with him, transfigured,
Horcruxed, it's just difficult to swallow.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">3. By 1998 he was fugly and pretty mean to his
followers, Bellatrix included so not looking romantic there either.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">And 4. I like the fact you mentioned Bella staying
with Narcissa/ the timing there cause Delphini has blonde hair and Luci was out
of favor so I'm lesaning toward Narcissa for baby mama really, and she had more
reason considering Luci was far out of favor. + Voldemort was crashing there.
But then I must contradict myself no matter how disturbingly fitting that
picture is and just can't get to Voldemort wanting sex. He was so removed, so
nonhuman, so disconnected and I don't think JKR is really
thinking...again.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Please don't take this as me tearing your thoughts
down, they were good and made me think and those were my responses. If you have
more lets do it. LOL. I love thinking about this stuff and having list
threads!</font></div>
