A/N: Ok, so I haven't been on in awhile. Sorry, I was just a bit deppressed and... anyway, this is my first Bella/Rodulphus fic. So... enjoy! I freakin don't own anything... if you're wondering =D
Go To Sleep Now, Lovely Child
"Can't you just shut up, Rodulphus?" Bellatrix whispered to her husband, who was quietly humming. She was enjoying a quiet evening at home, alone, and so relaxed. And then he came. She looked at hm; he still wouldn't stop.
"Rodulphus." she hissed. He glanced at her and smirked.
"Chill, Bella." he said, and started to sing.
"Fa la ninna, fa la nanna
Nella braccia della mamma
Fa la ninna bel bambin,
Fa la nanna bambin bel,
Fa la ninna, fa la nanna
Nella braccia della mamma." he sang while casually sipping his glass of wine. Bellatrix shifted in her seat.
"Don't sing that. Please." she whispered.
"Why, mi Bella?"
"Rodulphus, please."
"Mi Bella, I'm so sorry."
"Don't call me that."
"Mi Bella." he cackled. Rodulphus turned his head at his aproaching wife. She pinned him to the wall and slightly closed her hand around his throat. She sneered at him and locked eyes; he made a big mistake.
"Shut up." she pressed her wand against his chest
"Fa la ninna bel bambin." he began to sing. She let go, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Stop, just stop it!"
"Why?" he asked. She backed away slowly, her arms folded around her body.
"Please, just stop." she shook her head. "Stop singing."
"You don't like my voice, mi Bella?"
"No, no no no. Don't sing that song." she said softly, her voice breaking. He put his arms around her, hugging her. She returned the embrace, and began to sob into his chest.
"What has Azkaban done to you Bella?" he kiss her forehead. "Insanity does not fit you well."
"Insanity is common in my family, actually." she smiled. He kissed the crown of her head.
"Mi Bella," he sang, "Fa la ninna bel bambin."
"Fa la nanna bambin bel." she finished.
Inside the Malfoy Manor, there was no fighting are screaming that night. Just blissful tears and a last apology between two Death Eaters. That night was perhaps the most peaceful night between the lost lovers.
The next day was the Battle of Hogwarts.
Ok, so there's my story. If you're wondering, the English translation of the song Rodulphus is singing is:
Go to sleep, go to sleepy
In the arms of your mother,
Go to sleep, lovely child,
Go to sleepy, child so lovely,
Go to sleep, go to sleepy
In the arms of your mother.
^^Its's an Itailian lullabye. Basically, Bellatrix couldn't have kids. So his song triggers the emotional past of the miscarriages and "not having kids" ordeal. Reviews are greatly appreciated, and I'd love to know if anyone wants a pre-Azkaban Bellatrix/Rodulphus. Or a further explanation of this story.
