Rodolphus sighed heavily and dragged a chair over from the small table that sat in the kitchen separate from the one in the dining room and sat down. "It's about Bellatrix. This is probably a surprise to you but you should know I'm in love with her. I'm going to marry her. I've been saving money for an engagement ring for some time now and once I've done something to stand out among the Death Eaters I'm going to approach her parents and ask for her hand."
He knew if he asked Bellatrix herself she would laugh in his face and, to put it lightly, say 'no' so going through her parents was definitely the best chance he had. The fact that Bellatrix would turn him down at all didn't seem to be an issue. At least not a pressing one. He loved her so much it was only a matter of time before she loved him back. "And then, once Our Lord has conquered the Wizarding World, we're going to settle down and have about ten kids. Since she'll bring a dowry I won't have to work either. It'll be perfect."
