RP: At home with the Lestranges
Date: 21 September 1997
Characters: Mr. and Mrs. Lestrange
Location: Undisclosed manor house
Status: Private
Summary: A quiet Sunday morning with the Lestranges
Completion: InComplete

Bellatrix was sitting at the low bench before the dresser, combing her long dark hair. She had missed being able to do simple things like this during those long years in That Place. She'd missed clean dressing gowns and clean hair and most of all she had missed waking beside her husband.

The Dark Lord's Cause was her Cause and while he had her complete loyalty, her heart belonged to her beloved Rodolphus. Speaking of whom, she wondered where he had wandered off to after cursing that house elf for waking them so early.

She stilled for a moment. A son. She longed to present her husband an heir of his line and body, but that was also one of her few true fears. What if her years in That Place had damaged her? If she could not bear the children he deserved, would she have the will to give him up to preserve the Lestrange line? With Sirius gone, however much she hated her cousin, the Black name was gone forever. Only ickle Draco remained as a hope that at least the magics of her family would continue.

She loved her husband; she would not burden him with her fears until after their duties to their Lord were completed. "Only a son?" she laughed, "what of a daughter also? A daughter with my beauty and your strength would draw the best suitors from across the Wizarding World."

A son was pushing it in his mind, he feared the thought of raising a child. He would be a terrible father, but then he didn't have much of display to go off of. He was too emotionless to give anything to a child, and he doubted he could love a child when the love he had was for Bellatrix, Of course in a proper world at least having a weakness like a wife and child would not be such a problem.

"A daughter would be lovely with your looks, let us hope she does not get to many of mine," Rodolphus gave that throaty sound of a laugh. "I do say she would bring in proper suitors, we would make sure of that. Just as we would make sure our son found a proper woman." Rodolphus had never thought of having a daughter, the idea of one child was enough to make him worry.

	"Of course." She shifted higher on his body, turning to look down at him as he lay on the chaise. Tracing his features with the tip of her finger, she said, "I can only hope that we chose as well for our children as our parents chose for us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rodolphus could not help but close his eyes as her finger tip traced his features. "I am sure we can choose just well for our children as our parents did for ours. I do not doubt that," Rodolphus was not going to let his children go off with just anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bellatrix hummed her agreement. She stared down at him for a moment longer and then laid her head down on his shoulder. (Reply to this) (Parent)
