It's time to find out how the events will change ;P
Also.. have fun with Barty and Bella fighinting like cat and dog XD
III (II): Immortality suits you …
Bellatrix hugged Voldemort, repeatedly stroking his chest in a territorial way, casting a more than eloquent look at Barty.
"If I remember correctly, Bella, your presence was not required," Voldemort warned her, though he wasn't really upset.
"Forgive me, my Dark Lord, but I couldn't resist, knowing you in his company, alone." she yelped submissively.
"They’re not alone, as you can see, my dear!" Aro interjected, pulling Barty to him and peering distrustfully at that beautiful witch with thick, indomitable black hair, a proud bearing and a creepy gaze. When it came to territoriality, the two could compete and end up in perfect equality.
"Of course, my Master's friends are welcome and I am pleased to notice this strong bond between you," she commented, much more relieved, also pleasing Aro. "But above all I wanted to see my dear old partner in mischief once more!"
"I'm happy to see you, too ..." the younger Death Eater admitted in spite of himself.
"Guess what, Barty-Hearty?" she momentarily moved away from her beloved Master to jump joyfully in his direction.
"Don't call me that, BellaFreaks!" he said, making her taste her own medicine.
"You insolent child!" she snapped, and cast a Cruciatus Curse at him. Barty had the same exact impulse, which is why the two Unforgivable Curses ended up canceling each other.
"Explosive, just as I recalled, you two!" the Dark Lord commented, even clapping his hands for a few seconds.
"How could you handle both of them?" the noble vampire asked him.
"Let's say I was never bored!" confessed the other.
"I could never get both of them," Aro muttered.
This time it was Voldemort who pulled Bella towards himself, protectively.
"I would never let you take her away, too!" he declared, to the delight of his devoted servant.
"I'm fine just where I am." she said, resting her head on his chest.
“I'm fine where I am now, as well,” Barty admitted, giving an eloquent look to Aro, who smiled at him.
"What did you want to tell me before, Bella?" the youngest returned to the subject at hand.
“I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black! " Bella sang.
"She's been going on like this for days!" Voldemort chuckled, stroking her face.
"Oh, well, good for you if you eliminated your dear little cousin and made Potter whimper. I drank my pseudo father and halved the goddamn Ministry of Magic, but I don't go around screaming it from the rooftops!" Barty scoffed.
Voldemort walked over to him, giving him an unexpected soft slap on the cheek. "I also know about your deeds, Barty. I know everything and I am delighted!"
"My Lord!" he bowed again.
"But enough talking now, there's dinner waiting for us!" Voldemort acted as the perfect host.
-----------------------------------------
At dinner there were also all the Malfoys, but they remained rather taciturn. Among the other Death Eaters, Barty couldn't help but notice an important absence.
"But ... Snape?" he ventured to ask.
"Severus was a bad little boy who played a double game, but by dint of playing with fire he ended up getting burned!" Bellatrix informed him, sitting next to him, giggling.
Aro had been brought a goblet full of what no one would bet was wine, while Barty struggled to eat something, with the intent of honoring the cuisine of his Dark Lord's House Elves, but that goal happened to be anything but easy. Aro had tried to warn him several times that vampires shouldn’t eat human food, but in the end he had let himself be amused by his Childe’s stubbornness.
Bellatrix kept staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Barty asked nervously.
“Aside from those red eyes that could very well be just contact lenses… are we really sure you're a vampire now? I don't notice any difference in your paleness,” she teased him.
"The tanned woman spoke!" he shouted at her, before lowering his voice, to speak in confidence. "You know He will never love you as you wish, right?"
She lost all desire to joke and nodded sadly. “It doesn't matter; I love enough for the both of us. It is enough for me to serve him. " she declared with pride that shone in her dark eyes.
"You two over there, what are you concocting?" Voldemort asked. Although he was at the head of the table, he still picked up on their whispers.
"Nothing, my Lord!" they both answered in unison.
----------------------------------
After dinner, all the other diners disappeared as soon as possible. No one wanted stay too long with that creepy quartet.
"My boy, would you like to witness me as I torture Fudge?" Voldemort asked, well aware that it was like asking a child if he would like to take a ride on the merry-go-rounds. Too bad that, in addition to his enthusiasm, Barty’s reaction was also that of a child.
“See, BellaFreaks? The Dark Lord wants me to accompany him! " he teased her.
"Oh well, rejoice, Barty-Hearty, but be informed that He allowed me to attend several times. He also allowed me to torture him once!" Bellatrix preened.
"Go with him, puppy. I will chat with this fascinating Dark Lady. I'm sure we will not lack for topics of conversation!" Aro said, looking at Bellatrix curiously.
"Then we'll try to do something pretty quick. I don't like the idea of leaving them alone for too long!" muttered Voldemort as they walked towards the dungeons where the Minister of Magic was imprisoned. "You know, Barty, dear Cornelius has been here with us for many weeks. I just make sure that every day it is more than clear that my return is all too tangible." he grinned, as they arrived.
"No, not again, have mercy!" cried Cornelius Fudge, who apparently didn't seem to have even the slightest scratch. "You! Again?!" he stirred further, tugging at the magical chains that bound him to a wall when he also noticed the vampire's presence.
“Yes, me, again. You still remember my words, right? I wasn't lying, as you can see. I bet since that day, you would have preferred for me to have killed you! " Barty grinned.
"Y-yes ... have some mercy!" shouted the elderly minister.
"Tsk-tsk, Cornelius, you disappoint me. You already used twice that word that you know I hate," Voldemort shook his head in a reproachful tone, drawing his wand. " Crucio !"
And that was just the beginning.
---------------------------------
"My Lord, I will never forget such a sight, his screams will remain in my ears for days! " Barty congratulated his Master when even the last terrible spell cast by Voldemort left its effects on the victim. Barty was not even aware of such spells and watched, thirsty for knowledge…and maybe not just that. All that violence was harder to handle with his new nature.
"All that blood ..." Barty licked his lips and Voldemort sensed everything.
“You want to bite him, don't you? So be it, as long as you don't kill him. "
"Oh no, I would never deprive you of such entertainment," the young vampire assured.
"Very well, then, have a taste... can you guarantee it will be painful?"
"Oh yes, my Lord, as much as possible!" sneered the other, showing the now elongated canines. He advanced towards the victim, who by now did not even have the strength to scream. But Barty's bite was so excruciating that it made Fudge let out a further scream.
"Excellent, Barty, now, before I go, I'll heal all his wounds," Voldemort said with satisfaction. The vampire was a little perplexed to see such a magnanimous action from his Dark Lord.
"I understand your astonishment, but ... watch and see!" Voldemort instructed. He uttered yet another spell unknown to the younger wizard. The numerous wounds, abrasions and burns began to heal, yes… but in an inexorably slow way, barely perceptible, but above all, painful.
A cruel dripping.
A torture within the torture.
"It will take about a full day to heal. Just in time to be able to start all over again ... until I'm tired of playing. But I don't think I'll be tired anytime soon," grinned the Dark Lord, while Barty listened, entranced.
"Aro is not just your Sire, am I right?" Voldemort asked without warning.
"Yes. No. I mean… we, him, me…” Barty flushed lightly as he struggled to answer.
Voldemort chuckled.
“My boy, mine is not an accusation, just an observation. Your loyalty to me as a Death Eater pleases me. As for other types of interests ... I would like you to direct them towards other goals. "
Barty was grateful for his new vampire status otherwise he would have turned redder than the hated Griffondor uniforms.
"One more thing, Barty," Voldemort said.
"Yes, my Lord?"
“Could you not tell Bella that I made you torture Fudge, too? Otherwise I’ll get an earache from her! " Voldemort rolled his eyes, snatching a smile from him, as the young man sealed that promise with a nod.
When they returned to the dining room, Bellatrix was lying on the table with her elbows propped up and her legs bent forward dangling, her mouth half open as she listened in rapture to yet another anecdote from Aro.
"My Lord, you didn't tell me you had such an interesting friend with such exciting stories!" she murmured, reaching him as soon as she saw him.
"And now I belong to that world, drawing all the benefits," Barty said with a grin. "I will always be young, vigorous and beautiful, unchanged over the years. As for you, my dear, ... am I wrong or is it a wrinkle I see?" Barty enjoyed provoking her. Voldemort had to hold her with both arms, otherwise Bellatrix would have gouged out Barty’s eyes. Or worse.
“How dare you, insolent kid? I will always be young and beautiful for my Dark Lord, even if I have to drink the blood of all the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest! " she shouted, wriggling to free herself.
"It can't be said that she doesn’t give me satisfaction!" Voldemort stroked her face and she calmed down at once.
“What about me, my Lord? Haven't I pleased you?" Barty asked, his feelings stung.
“Oh, Barty, you have been indispensable. It is only thanks to you that I have been able to have that coveted alliance with the Volturi that I have been craving since the days of the First Wizarding War. You have been the most precious bargaining chip," Voldemort explained. “You must know that our dear Aro had set his sights on you since you took the Dark Mark, but at the time it was I who opposed it. You were still too young. But when months ago I learned you were in danger, I was finally able to combine business with pleasure for him." He paused, looking at Aro. “I would never have given up such a precious and valiant soldier like you, Barty, if it weren't extremely necessary. ''
Barty was beside himself with delight at all those compliments.
"My Lord, I have no words to thank you, but even if at a distance, I will always be your soldier. I will always rush to you when you call me," he assured him. "I'm just sorry I didn't stop Potter in time on the day of the Trial ...."
"Oh, don't worry, it'll be more fun to hunt him and his friends," grinned the Dark Lord. "Speaking of which, Bella, did you pick up that thing as I asked you?" He turned to her.
"Certainly, my Lord."
"Then go get it."
Bellatrix did not question his orders, but swiftly left the room. After a few minutes, she returned with a very ancient and precious-looking cup.
"Excellent! Now give him the Tosca Hufflepuff Cup," Voldemort urged.
"But, my Lord ..." she protested. She was happy he was pleased, but loath to surrender the prize to another.
"I can feel Your essence in there, my Lord," Barty noted, looking at the cup with curiosity and devotion.
“And so it is, my boy. That's a Horcrux. There are many ways to achieve immortality. There are those, like me, who break their souls seven times and those, like you, who find faster methods. I must also say, not only faster, but more pleasant methods." He made his witty remark, gesturing at Aro. "You said, Barty, that you are still my soldier, after all ..."
"And so it is, I will defend this Horcrux at the cost of my unlife!" Barty swore.
"I could have been a very good guard too, my Lord!" Bellatrix yelped.
"What if I told you that I have other plans for you, Bella? And that, in a few months, you will be a little… too busy to keep a watchful enough guard?" Voldemort made her understand his plans by stroking her belly. Bellatrix jumped for joy, without any effort to hide her triumph. This was perhaps the only thing Barty couldn't compete with her on.
----------------------------------
Barty and Aro had returned to Volterra months ago. This was an evening like any other.
Aro was sitting in the damask armchair in his bedroom: barefoot, with his black clothes widely unbuttoned, in full relaxation, with a glass of blood in his hand, while he watched his pupil, intent on what was now his favorite activity. He had lured a victim on one of his usual walks and was now slowly bleeding her out. He was also testing some of the new spells he had learned from his Dark Lord.
At that moment he was sprawled on the carpet, dressed in a white shirt, a color he was beginning to like, perhaps because it created a strong contrast with his soul black soul. And then, the blood on the white stood out even better. His shirt was half covered as he licked the blood off his thumb and then moved on to his other fingers, unhurriedly,
"You know, right, that to feed on humans we aren’t forced to kill them?" Aro commented.
"Of course I know, but it's more fun this way ... and then you can't expect me not to kill Muggles!" retorted the other.
“You will end up staining my carpet! Look, it's a prestigious tapestry! "
"Bloody hell, what a fuss! It just means I will use a Cleaning Spell. Happy?"
"Nope. I’ll be happy when you bother enough to come here to me and let my arms claim you."
Barty purposely continued to bleed his victim a little longer.
"I'm fine right where I am!" he said, playing hard to get.
It was just a game. Before Aro could even utter a syllable of protest, he found Barty in his arms, his lips on his, each tasting the blood the other had drunk.
"Aro?"
"Yes, puppy?" he murmured against his mouth.
"Ask me again what my feelings for you are," Barty urged, caressing his long raven hair.
"Why?" His Sire looked at him with great expectation.
"Because I'm getting closer and closer to that word starting with L." His Childe smiled, kissing him.
EPILOGUE
A FEW YEARS LATER
"No!" Barty thundered. "But first of all, I would like to understand how this could have happened!"
"I am perfectly free to go to London as much as I please and I most certainly do not have anything to account for!" Jane stood up to him.
"Yes, if in your mind there’s a spoiled, spineless kid! I don't even know how my Lord could have even thought of making him a Death Eater!" he grumbled.
"Maybe your Lord was pleased to have such a gorgeous little blond in his ranks!"
"My Lord values other ideals far more important than physical beauty!" Barty was getting nervous.
"Are we really sure? You're so gorgeous, too! " she winked shamelessly.
“What's all this noise? I remind you that Caius, Marcus and I are in the middle of an important meeting!" Aro rushed towards them.
"Oh please, you're just waiting for Heidi!" Barty belittled the importance of the issue, making Jane chuckle.
"So I see that someone here wants their prey ration halved!" his Sire threatened him.
"Later, in bed, you’re going to pay for this!" Barty growled in his ear.
“Oh, my puppy, is that supposed to be a threat? It strikes me more as a promise!" Aro clicked his tongue, winking. "As for you, my dear Jane, I deduce this is the period in which you go into heat ... again!" he teased her.
"I don't think it's too much to ask for a reliable mate when you have eternity ahead of you. You've found yours!" the blonde retorted.
“I understand, but not with Draco! I will NEVER want to be related to a Malfoy! " Barty made it clear. "I mean, I'm a Volturi now, right?"
"Love, if after fifteen years you still have doubts, it means that I have to refresh your memory for good!" Aro murmured, hugging him from behind and nibbling his right ear, which sent him into raptures. "You are a Volturi, for all intents and purposes."
"And anyway, Jane, I think you are wasting your time with Malfoy. When I was a Professor at Hogwarts , I realized how he was always around Potter all the time. His pretense of contempt for the Half Bloods has never convinced me and over time things have only gotten worse, in my opinion! "
"I believe so too," muttered the vampiress. "What if I was related to the Riddles?" She already knew she was playing the trump card with him.
"Huh?" his eyes widened, more than usual.
"Oh well, Delphi is growing so well ... and we get along so well!" Jane chuckled.
"I am her Godfather after all. I still find it hard to believe that I was my Dark Lord’s best man at his wedding. I've got it! That's where you must have met Draco!" Barty accused her.
"Yes, but that's not what we're talking about!" Jane pointed out.
"You are right. I was saying, as her Godfather, I only want the best for Delphi and you do look like the best,” he smiled at her.
"A reason to further strengthen the alliance between Volturi and Voldemort. Certainly he too would be happy!" Aro approved.
"An alliance more than vital. That damn Potter and his friends have destroyed five Horcruxes in only one year!" Barty remembered. “Okay, one is Potter himself, but he still doesn't know that. At least I think he's still ignorant of it. Or maybe he's dead. Anyway, I don't trust him. I expect an attack from him at any moment, even if he knows he couldn't possibly escape! "
“I know, puppy. But in that case, Alice would warn us in time. I still remember when, years ago, you revealed to me their fears. Young Cullen was afraid of hurting his Bella. She was afraid of dying old and withered. Sweet Alice feared a war with us. In short, having them join us was so easy, I could almost have done it without your power! "
Barty growled his disappointment.
"I said 'almost'!" he specified. "You have no idea how precious you are to me, Barty."
"And you have no idea how much I care about continuing to be precious to you, love." Barty smiled at him, kissing him.
“What do you say, puppy? Is eternity a long enough time?"

Notes:
Barty Hearty and BellaFreaks play a lot on assonance, I am very proud of those nicknames and in my opinion they are pure canon lol
Torturing Fudge is well and good >: D
I have never read' The Cursed Child " but I wanted to wink at a happy and dark-fluffy Bellamort family, more than the first word, the parents will have awaited her first Crucio (and one thing does not exclude the other) .. awww tenderness XD
as for Jane, she sends me bisexual vibes
I could not resist the Drarry hint #sorrynotsorry
I leave it to your imagination whether Harry (or his lineage) will return to the attack or not or what happened to him, I like him, so I like to think he is alive; P
Would you like to see these characters again, maybe some missing moments? Because I have some...
