“You’re too harsh on Bellatrix,” Druella told Cygnus softly, one night, after a particularly passionate fight.
“The girl needs discipline. She’s turning out all wrong,” was Cygnus’s reply.
“Discipline and torture are too different things. If anyone ever found out that you used the Cruciatus Curse… let alone on your own daughter…”
“No one will ever find out.”
“But…”
“This is the end of the discussion,” he snapped. “When Bellatrix behaves like a proper lady, I will no longer punish her.” He paused and sighed. “She could begin with not enchanting Christmas crackers to burst into flames when they’re pulled.”
