Voldemort's Feelings

by Windrises

Voldemort might be the world's evilest wizard, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a heart. The villainous wizard starts developing unexpected feelings for Bellatrix Lestrange. Voldemort tries to work up the courage to take Bellatrix on a date.

Note: Harry Potter was created by J. K. Rowling and is a Warner Bros. film series.

Voldemort was often considered to be the evilest wizard in the world. However, that didn't mean that he didn't have a heart. Deep down, he had human emotions. He often didn't do the best job of expressing them. His selfish, evil desires often got the better of him. He became so infamous that even saying his name was considered a bad thing to do. At first, Voldemort was amused by the fact that everyone avoided saying his name. However, as time went on, it started hurting his feelings. After all, it wasn't like his name was a curse word.

One morning, Voldemort woke up and started roaming around his castle. He was dressed in his snake pajamas and slippers. He even wore a Nagini nightcap. He went to the kitchen sat down and started drinking a bottle of butter beer.

A few minutes later, Lucius Malfoy came into the castle. Lucius made daily visits to the castle, so he could check up on Voldemort and give him his breakfast and newspaper. Lucius walked to the kitchen, while carrying a shopping bag. He set the bag down on the kitchen table and said, "Good morning, Master Voldemort."

Voldemort smiled, while saying, "Good morning, Mr. Malfoy. How is Draco doing?"

Lucius sighed and said, "My kid's a real in the neck."

Voldemort replied, "All of the best kids are."

Lucius pulled a newspaper out of the bag and said, "Here's your morning paper."

Voldemort replied, "Why, thank you."

Lucius pulled out a box of donuts, while saying, "I know how much you like your morning snacks, so I got you a dozen donuts."

Voldemort said, "Ah, I can always trust you to keep me healthy." Voldemort grabbed a donut and stuffed it into his mouth, while reading his newspaper.

Lucius looked at Voldemort and noticed that something appeared to be bothering him, so he gently asked, "Is something wrong?"

Voldemort pointed at the newspaper, while saying, "This is a Daily Planet newspaper. You know that I like the Daily Bugle."

Lucius replied, "I'm sorry, but the Daily Bugle was sold out."

Voldemort said, "Really? Maybe the muggles have good taste. Well, I see what that dorky Kent guy's reporting about in today's newspaper."

A few minutes later, Bellatrix Lestrange entered the kitchen, while dressed in a gothic nightgown. She waved at Lucius and said, "Good morning, Malfoy."

Lucius smiled and replied, "Good morning, Lestrange."

Bellatrix sat next to Voldemort and said, "Good morning, Tom."

Voldemort replied, "Good morning, my sweet Bellatrix."

Lucius looked at Voldemort, while asking, "Can I use your washroom? Earlier, a muggle shook my hand, so I want to clean my hands."

Voldemort replied, "Go ahead." Lucius nodded and left the kitchen.

Bellatrix looked down at the newspaper and said, "The Daily Planet?"

Voldemort sighed and said, "I know that the Daily Planet can be rather dull, but the Daily Bugle was sold out. You know, I like that Spider-Man guy, because I hear he's a menace. I like menaces."

Bellatrix replied, "Like?"

Voldemort smiled, while saying, "I love menaces."

Bellatrix grinned, while replying, "Then I'll be as menacing as humanly possible."

Voldemort responded, "Sounds lovely."

Bellatrix looked at Voldemort's head and noticed that he was wearing a nightcap, so she asked, "What's up with the funny hat?"

Voldemort was often considered to be the most intimidating wizard in the entire world, but he had some insecurities. One of his insecurities involved his bald head. Most of his fellow wizards had ravishing hair, so he often felt embarrassed by his lack of hair. Voldemort explained, "I use the nightcap to cover up my bald head."

Bellatrix asked, "Why would you ever want to cover up your lovely head?"

Voldemort asked, "Is my head lovely?"

Bellatrix said, "Of course it is."

Voldemort shyly replied, "But I'm bald."

Bellatrix said, "Who cares? Bald heads are beautiful, especially yours. Take off that silly hat."

Voldemort replied, "Okay, but you better not laugh." He took the nightcap off of his head.

Bellatrix started rubbing Voldemort's head, while saying, "Your head doesn't need any pieces of hair. Your head is too beautiful to cover up with anything."

Voldemort blushed, while saying, "Thank you. Sometimes, I feel ashamed of my appearance."

Bellatrix put her hand on Voldemort's shoulder, while saying, "You shouldn't, because you're the handsomest wizard in the world."

Voldemort said, "I have heard quite a few people make fun of my head. However, my nose might be an even bigger issue. All of the other wizards have a nose."

Bellatrix replied, "Do you really want to be like all of the others? You stand out from the crowd. You are unique, my dear."

Voldemort started feeling better about myself, while saying, "Maybe I am."

Bellatrix gave Voldemort a kiss on the cheek and said, "I'm going to go take a shower."

Voldemort replied, "Okay. By the way, I bought the new Grindelwald shampoo. My friend, Gargamel, recommended it."

Bellatrix responded, "Then I'll be sure to try it."

A moment later, Lucius returned to the kitchen. He looked around and saw Voldemort smiling, so he said, "You seem to be in a good mood."

Voldemort replied, "You know what? I am. No matter what kind of mood I'm in, Bellatrix always finds a way to raise my spirts."

Lucius said, "I can tell she means a lot to you."

Voldemort replied, "She certainly does. I love that woman." Voldemort paused and thought about what he had just said. It was the first time that Voldemort had said that he ever loved anyone. It felt weird for him.

Lucius asked, "Are you okay?"

Voldemort put his hand on his forehead, while asking, "What's wrong with me?"

Lucius said, "I think I know the answer, but it might not be an answer that you want to hear."

Voldemort said, "I trust you, Malfoy."

Lucius said, "I think you might be getting a crush."

Voldemort stood up and faced Lucius, while asking, "Do you have any idea what you just implied? I am Voldemort, the most feared wizard that anyone has ever faced! Do you think that I could ever feel love for anyone?"

Lucius replied, "I didn't think it was possible, but you might have proven me wrong."

Voldemort could hardly believe that he had a crush on someone. It felt too weird to be true. He nervously started pacing around the kitchen, while saying, "This can't be happening."

Lucius said, "I hope I'm not stepping over the line by saying this but having feelings might be a good thing."

Voldemort asked, "How could having feelings benefit me in any way?"

Lucius explained, "Some people think that having feelings gets in the way of people's work and goals. However, feelings are a key factor for motivating people to follow their dreams. If you have someone to share your victories with, you might become a happier person."

Voldemort said, "I guess I didn't think about that."

Lucius replied, "It's something to think about."

Voldemort gave Lucius a hug, while saying, "Thank you for your advice, old friend."

Lucius replied, "It's my pleasure." Lucius waved goodbye and started heading out.

Voldemort was feeling more emotions than ever before, so he wanted to talk to Bellatrix about it. He started walking around the hallway of his castle, while searching for Bellatrix. He looked in Bellatrix's bedroom, but she wasn't there. Suddenly, Voldemort remembered that Bellatrix was planning on taking a shower.

A few minutes later, Voldemort walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it. He said, "Bellatrix, are you in there?"

Bellatrix turned off her music, so she could answer him. She said, "Hi, Tom. I can hurry up if you need me to."

Voldemort said, "Take as much time as you need. I just need to talk to you after you're done."

Bellatrix replied, "If you want, you can come in."

Voldemort blushed, while saying, "No, that won't work. I need to have a talk with you, while you're fully clothed. Maybe we can talk, while drinking a fine cup of tea or something." Voldemort felt like he was making a fool out of himself, so he said, "You know what? You go get cleaned up, while I go out."

Bellatrix asked, "Where are you going?"

Voldemort answered, "There's something that I've been wanting to learn for years, so it's about time I learn it."

A short time later, Hermione Granger arrived at a nearby dance studio. Hermione had started teaching dance classes to both wizards and muggles. She went into the dance studio and saw several people who were eager to learn how to dance. She smiled, while saying, "It's great to see so many muggles and wizards who want to learn the magic of dancing." She looked around and saw that Voldemort was there. Voldemort was wearing a black ballerina outfit that he got it a local shop.

Hermione was incredibly surprised to see Voldemort at the dance studio, so she walked up to him and asked, "What the heck are you doing here?"

Voldemort nervously smiled, while saying, "Good morning, Ms. Granger. I know that you and I have our differences, but I was hoping that you could teach me how to dance."

Hermione said, "You have to be joking. This has to be part of one of your evil schemes."

Voldemort replied, "This time, I have no evil schemes. I just want to learn how to dance."

Hermione asked, "Why?"

Voldemort put his hand on his chin, while saying, "Quite frankly, your personal questions offend me. You didn't ask anybody else why they're here, so I don't see why you would give me a hard time."

Hermione folded her arms, while saying, "Because you're the evilest wizard of all time."

Voldemort said, "It's true that I've done some vile things, but in this scenario, I have no villainous intentions. If I do anything bad, it'll be upstaging the other dancers with my dance moves."

Hermione sighed and said, "Teaching dancing to people was supposed to be fun, but it's become a chore."

Hermione started teaching some dance moves to Voldemort and the others. Most of the dancers were able to follow Hermione's instructions, but Voldemort had a hard time keeping up. He often bumped into the other dancers and fell down.

After Voldemort accidentally knocked all of the other dancers down, Hermione said, "Voldemort, you're ruining my dancing business."

Voldemort replied, "I'm sorry."

Hermione turned on the radio and said, "Let's get this over with. If you want to dance, show me what you got."

Voldemort put his hands on his hips, while saying, "I'll prove to you that I can be quite a good dancer." Voldemort started jumping around the room. After that, he got on the floor and started flopping around like a fish. Next, he pranced around the room, while singing the song that the radio was playing.

Hermione stuck her hands in the air and said, "Knock it off."

Voldemort asked, "What's wrong?"

Hermione said, "You can't dance. You're bad at several things, including being a responsible person and a good wizard. In addition to that, you're a bad dancer. I know that I'm never supposed to give up on a fellow dancer, but I can't help you."

Voldemort sighed and replied, "I understand."

A short time later, Voldemort returned to his castle and changed into his wizard clothes. He went into his living room and did a little dance. He looked in the mirror and said, "I feel like a fool. Bellatrix might be wicked, but she deserves a gentleman. She deserves someone that can sweep her off her feet. I wanted to impress her with my dance moves, but it's hopeless."

A few minutes later, Voldemort heard the sound of someone entering the living room. He turned around and saw Bellatrix walking around in a black robe. He said, "Oh, hi, Bellatrix."

Bellatrix replied, "Hi, Tom. You said there was something that you needed to talk to me about."

Voldemort said, "Um, yes, but I'm afraid that I must require you to get properly dressed."

Bellatrix replied, "Properly dressed? What's wrong with my robe?"

Voldemort said, "Nothing's wrong with it. You look quite lovely in it, but I need to have a serious talk with you, so I need you to wear your nicest clothes."

Bellatrix rolled her eyes and replied, "Whatever you say."

After Bellatrix left the living room, Voldemort looked at himself in the mirror and noticed that he was blushing. He nervously said, "This can't be happening. How could I be blushing? I feel silly. I need to keep my sanity and dignity."

Several minutes later, Bellatrix returned to the living room, while wearing the same outfit that she wore when fighting the good wizards of Hogwarts. She put her hands on her hips, while smiling at Voldemort and asking, "How do I look?"

Voldemort said, "That's more like it. You look absolutely stunning, my dear Bellatrix."

Bellatrix started pacing near Voldemort, while saying, "So, what did you want to talk to me about? Recently, you've been acting a little different, so I'm eager to know what's on your mind."

Voldemort started sounding nervous and shy, while saying, "Bellatrix, I've been known as the most fearsome wizard of them all."

Bellatrix replied, "That's for sure. Not even Grindelwald could compete with your reign of villainy."

Voldemort said, "Because of that, most people assume that I'm an evil overlord that's devoid of emotions or feelings. There was a time where I thought that might be the case. However, I'm starting to think that I might have some humanistic traits."

Bellatrix raised an eyebrow, while asking, "What are you talking about?"

Voldemort put his hand on Bellatrix's chin, while saying, "Bellatrix, you mean a great deal to me. You're the one that I let call me by my real name. As much as I trust Lucius, I often feel like you're the one person that I can tell anything to."

Bellatrix replied, "Well, I'm honored and flattered. What do you want to tell me?"

Voldemort blushed, while saying, "I like you."

Bellatrix replied, "I like you, too. I like you more than anyone else."

Voldemort said, "I had assumed so, but I like you in a very special way. I like you in a way that's unlike anything that I've ever experienced." He nervously smiled, while saying, "Bellatrix, would you do me the honor of being my date?"

Bellatrix grinned, while saying, "Of course I would."

Voldemort said, "Really?"

Bellatrix replied, "I'd be delighted to go on a date with you."

Voldemort felt relieved, while saying, "That's great to hear."

Bellatrix said, "So, where are we going to go?"

Voldemort put his hand on his chin, while saying, "I hadn't thought about that. You'll have to excuse me, because there's something that I need to do."

Meanwhile, Hermione paid a visit to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's house. After Harry and Ron opened the door, Hermione went inside and said, "I had the strangest day."

Ron said, "You host dance classes. If anything, you should be having boring days."

Hermione replied, "This day was far from boring."

Harry asked, "What happened?"

Hermione said, "Voldemort came to the dance studio."

Harry started looking concerned, while asking, "Did he try to hurt anybody?"

Hermione said, "No. I know this will sound ridiculous, but he wanted to learn how to dance." Harry and Ron both raised their eyebrows.

Suddenly, Voldemort started knocking on the door. Ron opened the door, so Voldemort said, "Thank you."

Harry looked at Ron, while asking, "Why would you let him in?"

Ron answered, "I wanted to be friendly."

Harry pointed his wand at Voldemort, while asking, "What are you doing here?"

Voldemort calmly said, "I didn't come for a fact. In fact, I've come for some advice."

Harry angrily asked, "Why would I ever give you advice?"

Voldemort said, "I need dating advice."

Ron asked, "Are you out of your bloody mind?"

Voldemort said, "Maybe I am, but Bellatrix has made me feel feelings that I've never previously felt. It's both magical and concerning. I asked her on a date. She said yes, but I don't know where to take her."

Ron raised an eyebrow, while saying, "You asked her out, but you didn't even think of a place to ask her to? That was not a good move."

Voldemort sighed and replied, "I know. Where should I take her?"

Harry said, "You should take her to prison, because that's where both of you belong to go to."

Voldemort nervously laughed and replied, "I'd rather not go there. I want to take her to somewhere nice."

Hermione said, "You could take her to a museum."

Voldemort stuck his tongue out and replied, "Museums aren't really my thing."

Hermione said, "You could take her to a nice restaurant."

Voldemort stuck his tongue out and replied, "Those places charge too much money."

Hermione said, "You could take her to the movies."

Voldemort stuck his tongue out and said, "All of the theaters are currently playing movies about the good guys."

Hermione sighed and said, "You're hopeless."

Ron casually said, "You could take her to a pizza place."

Voldemort replied, "A pizza place?"

Ron said, "I'm guessing that this is the first date that you've ever go on."

Voldemort replied, "It is."

Ron said, "Then you shouldn't go overboard. You should keep things casual and fun. A pizza joint would be perfect."

Voldemort replied, "If you say so."

A few hours later, Voldemort and Bellatrix went to a nearby pizza place. They walked inside, while dressed in their normal villain costumes. Their weird appearances and outfits made them stand out amongst the other customers. The customers looked scared to see Voldemort, so Voldemort waved and said, "Hi, everybody. I'm not here to hurt anybody. I just want some pizza."

Voldemort walked to the front of the line and said, "I'd like a large pizza that's covered in pepperoni."

The pizza employee replied, "That'll cost twenty-five-dollars."

Bellatrix said, "Twenty-five-dollars? That's an outrageous price."

Voldemort calmly replied, "I have a coupon." He pulled a coupon out of his pocket. He handed the coupon to the employee, while saying, "This coupon should lower the price."

The pizza employee said, "I don't think so."

Voldemort replied, "Excuse me?"

The pizza employee said, "This coupon expired years ago."

Voldemort pointed his wand at the employee, while saying, "If you want to live, you will accept the coupon."

The pizza employee sighed and replied, "The coupon lowers the cost of the pizza to twenty-two-dollars."

Voldemort responded, "Ah, that sounds much better."

The pizza employee said, "You two can go ahead and sit. The pizza will be ready in a half hour."

Voldemort replied, "A half hour? Surely, you have some fresh pizzas ready."

The pizza employee said, "Yes, but they're for the other customers. You have to wait your turn."

Bellatrix pointed her wand at the employee, while saying, "We're not a fan of waiting."

The pizza employee sighed and put a fresh pizza in a box. He handed it to Voldemort, while saying, "There you go."

Voldemort smiled and replied, "Thank you." He paid the employee, while saying, "I should give you a tip, but I'm so evil, so you're not getting a tip."

Voldemort and Bellatrix walked to a nearby table and sat down. Voldemort grabbed a fork and started cutting a slice of pizza, while Bellatrix quickly ate a slice of pizza.

After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Voldemort said, "Bellatrix, I'm glad that you agreed to go out with me."

Bellatrix replied, "It's my pleasure."

Voldemort smiled, while saying, "You look so beautifully wicked."

Bellatrix replied, "As do you."

Voldemort gleefully said, "I do what I can."

Ten minutes later, Voldemort had finished eating one slice of pizza, but Bellatrix had already eaten five slices of pizza. Voldemort had an amused expression on his face, while saying, "You eat fast."

Bellatrix replied, "I don't like to waste time. I feel like a lot of precious time has already been wasted. I had been waiting for you to ask me out. I was getting so impatient that I was tempted to be the one who asked you out."

Voldemort looked surprised, while saying, "Really? You wanted me to ask you out?"

Bellatrix said, "Of course I did. After all, we are quite the couple."

Voldemort stuck his hand out, while saying, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

Bellatrix replied, "Ahead of ourselves? You need to get with the times, Tom. You and I are destined for each other. Our first date should have been years ago. By now, we should have already been married." She nudged Voldemort and said, "You have a lot more dates to take me on. That includes going to the mall, trips to the movies and lots of nail salons to check out."

Voldemort put his hand over his face, while saying, "You've got to be kidding me. Maybe getting into a relationship was a mistake."

Bellatrix said, "I was messing around. You should know that I'm not into that silly stuff."

Voldemort breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great to hear, because I'm not the romantic type."

Bellatrix replied, "Neither am I." She paused and said, "Well, for the most part, I'm not romantic. However, I do make exceptions."

Voldemort asked, "What do you mean?"

Bellatrix pulled Voldemort closer to her and gave him several kisses. She said, "I love you."

Voldemort replied, "I love you, too." Voldemort smiled harder than ever before. Even though he was an evil wizard, even he appreciated the magic of love.
