Why Did Bellatrix Lie To Voldemort

[@eugenebelford9087]

Another reason for her might also be what Draco represents (if I am not mistaken): the last male representative of both the Malfoy and Black families (two of the Sacred 28). The last who could carry on the lineages.

[@michaelcollins2030]

Yes it’s true Draco was the son of the only heir and the only living heiress of the house of black (as Bellatrix had no children at that time and died and Andromeda was disowned by the black family)

[@grec.]

Bellatrix was a very complex character. Too bad she joined the dark side and had to be destroyed. Her magical abilities would had been so useful to the wizarding world. She would had been an amazing DADA teacher.

Bellatrix was much more complex in the books than she was in the movies. One of her most redeeming qualities is precisely her loyalty to her family. I am 100% convinced that the Malfoys were kept alive and not permanently incapacitated during DH only because of Bellatrix's favour with the Dark Lord. Many people underestimate Bella and Voldemort's relationship: she knew the worst of him, but still lied to him to protect her family and I'm sure that if he had ordered her to kill or torture Cissy or Draco, she would not do it.

[@Anastasia-Black_193]

You are wrong because Bellatrix was controlled by Voldemort

[@fr0stb1ght34]

@@Anastasia-Black_193 naw that's foolish to believe in the main if for no other reason then the way the Black sisters were brought up. They were all brought up to believe in the sanctity of blood 'Toujours Pur' (motto on the Black Family crest). That said she never had to be controlled by Tom M. Riddle as she willingly devoted herself to him from the beginning. Their views aligned too perfectly for there to be any other way. Remember she said it herself that she learned at the feet of Tom M. Riddle. Naw, she wasn't controlled by him she was perfectly within her mental facility as a follower to Tom M. Riddle. Probably the most devoted. And I think she would have tortured anyone except Narcissa on Tom's order, including Draco.

I believe that’s true Bellatrix seemed to have a close realtionship with Narcissa and it’s possible she had some sort of realtionship with Draco while I’m unsure about her realtionship with Lucius it’s possibly due to her famial ties to Bellatrix that kept the malfoy family alive

[@Bryan198026]

Actually, if I remember correctly from the book, she was actually trying to stop Narcissa from visiting Snape.

[@paulcowlishaw]

Listening to this channel and other Harry Potter channels have got me reading the books again.

[@AustynSN]

I think she was doing it only because she thought Snape would balk at the vow. She thought she could supplant Snape as the favorite. She was jealous and thought exposing him would make Voldemort "love" her more.

[@Sandlund93]

Yeah, that seems more in line with her character. She seems way past love. I'd say she thinks more of Narcissa as an acquanintance to be used rather than a dear sister. Draco is definitely just a tool in her schemes.

[@Slytherinarmy]

Bellatrix betrayed the dark lord in that moment to help her sister. Her and Narcissa (and at one point andromeda) have always been very close & Bellatrix knew how much Narcissa’s son Draco meant to her. Even though she knew it was betraying her master, she still did it anyways in loyalty to her sister. Now, if Voldemort were to have found out about Bellatrix accompanying her sister to Severus snape’s home & being the one to conduct the unbreakable vow between Snape & Narcissa to protect Draco, he would’ve been furious. I think he would‘ve been just as or even more furious than he was at Bellatrix & Lucius for their failure at retrieving the prophecy at the ministry, especially furious at Lucius. Voldemort gave the dumbledore mission specifically to Draco to punish Lucius for his failure to retrieve the prophecy. He knew Draco wouldn’t be able to go through with it & most likely would have severely punished Draco & Lucius or even killed them both for Draco’s failure if Snape wasn’t there to complete the task.

[@littlefoot5013]

What if Bellatrix HAD been convinced by Harry at the end of the Order of the Phoenix that her precious Master was indeed a Half Blood and that everything he had thus taught her was hypocritical?

[@MusketeerGweneth]

Even though Tom Riddle was Half Blood, he could still reason that he killed his muggle father and muggle relatives. He said out loud in front of countless death Eaters in the Graveyard that Harry was "Standing on the bones of my father," so maybe that inner circle of Death Eaters, including Malfoy, already knew of their master's biological history? Idk, just a thought.

[@gustavedelior3683]

Everyone has a personal loyalty, she was no exception.

[@eranshachar9954]

I agree with you. I will just add that Bellatrix had a parallel to Lucius. Lucius also decided that family comes first, and it shows that despite the monsters both were both of them also valued family and love for certain people not just the dark lord.

[@littlefoot5013]

Lucius had issues and definitely deserved a stint in Azkaban and to be kicked out of his job at the Ministry, but I don't think he even came close to the level of Bellatrix. Bellatrix tortured the Longbottoms, killed Sirius Black, likely killed Tonks, and likely greatly injured or killed others that weren't really highlighted in the books. Lucius, on the other hand, unless he was part of the Devils Snare assassination plot that killed that St. Mugno's healer, never actually killed anyone. The worst I can think of that he did was that Chamber of Secrets stuff, and, in the end, that ended up killing nobody except the bit of Voldermort's soul, and the basilisk I suppose. Come to think of it, once Dobby was free, why didn't Dumbledore have him testify against Lucius or , if he thought the Ministry wouldn't listen to a House Elf, why not use that Pensive to get some memory of Lucius being behind the whole Chamber thing? If Dobby knew enough to warn Harry, surely he must have overheard something that not only showed Lucius was behind the Chamber mess, but also, as Dobby seemed to reckon, that Lucius's main target wasn't the Weasleys, I think that came about after the fight in the bookstore, but Harry Potter, as Dobby seemed to be warning mainly Harry, instead of trying to go to Dumbledore.

[@eranshachar9954]

@@littlefoot5013 Good points. 1st of all Bellatrix did kill Tonks. And the fact that we can't connect Lucius to deaths, doesn't mean he didn't murder. I assume that in some point of time as a DE you must kill for Voldemort to show loyalty. I assume that because it's an evil group. And the ministry would have never believed a House Elf because they were corrupted. With the chief of corruption Cornelius bloody Fudge who was the worst.

[@fr0stb1ght34]

@@littlefoot5013 Lucius Malfoy was an opportunist who latched on to the meanest toughest bully in the yard. He was a wealthy, well coiffed, pompous, version of Peter Pettigrew without the animagus factor. His only real redeeming quality was his devotion to his son and even that is tainted with the stench of self serving mindedness. Draco being the last Malfoy left to carry the name and bloodline pretty much makes him a golden child. Had he been a female he wouldn't have had that lvl of devotion from Lucius. Even at the end of the Battle Of Hogwarts they were just sitting together off to the side no one paying attention to them when all of them, or at the very least Lucius, belong in Azkaban. Hell, Lucius should have been in there from the beginning just as long as Bellatrix to be for real.

[@littlefoot5013]

@@fr0stb1ght34 I suppose so, as his actions COULD well have resulted in many deaths. I mean, it does seem like he didn't care that OTHERS besides Harry (like Ginny for instance) could have died from the Chamber being opened (nor, indeed, that it would inconvenience, for the time being, a great many Slytherins would be inconvenienced by the school closing. And I don't think he knew that the dairy was a Horcrux capable of actually bringing Voldemort back. I don't think ANY of the Death Eaters knew that, at least Voldermort surely didn't tell them. Regulas turned on Voldermort when he found out about them, and Lucius, precisely because he WAS an opportunist, would have gone blabbing to some people, especially after how Voldermort was treating his family in Deathly Hallows and all the stuff Voldermort had done to Draco in Half Blood Prince.) Also, I don't think Lucius would have minded had Luna, Neville, Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny (at least I think she came, though maybe she didn't, I know she dealt with the inqusitorial squad.)

[@Chealder]

Bellatrix is such an interesting character and much loved among the fans, despite being evil. Don't we all have something (or someone) in our lives we're obsessed about, which some might call love and other crazy adoration? Bellatrix is an example of someone deeply emotional going over to the dark side. With her actions mainly based on feelings, it makes her dangerously unpredictable and, in my opinion, much more dangerous than someone more calculating like Lucius.

[@daniels7907]

Kind of overlooking the fact that Bellatrix was *CRAZY* and that most of her actions were not really a part of any kind of master plan. She was openly unhappy about what Narcissa was doing and enthusiastically stated that if *she* had sons she would gladly sacrifice them for the Dark Lord. I think that she went along with this because a) she was simply clinging to Narcissa because her sister was her only anchor for her sanity, since Voldy didn't seem to care, and b) she hated Snape for not having been imprisoned in Azkaban and was just hoping that he would die trying to kill Dumbledore.

[@littlefoot5013]

Those two things are true, but she didn't turn in Narcissa either.

[@daniels7907]

@@littlefoot5013 - How would it have benefited her if she had? Given that she knew that she (like all the Death Eaters) was on constant thin ice with Voldy, she probably worried that if he came to doubt Narcissa then he would doubt her too. Sirius had never been on-side and Regulus turned against Voldy. She was probably scared that he would just decide that her entire family couldn't be trusted - including her. After all, he wasn't exactly sane or logical either.

On another note, the girls who played the Black sisters in the fan made video was exactly how I imaged them looking when young.

[@somersault1123]

I think Voldemort expected it and ordered Snape to help Draco himself. But still wanted to stress out the Malfoys. I think he would view Dumbledore's death as much preferable to Draco's.

[@fr0stb1ght34]

Draco was a punishment for Lucius failing to secure the prophecy and getting a bunch of key followers caught. Not to mention forcing Tom to expose himself to the world after being given the gift of the Minister Of Magic dening he's alive and reassuring the public at large that he's not. After all that he had to punish Lucius somehow. In the end it was always Snape who was meant to kill Dumbledore tho.

[@CAMnami]

Question is who is she more loyal to, her family or voldemort? Because I feel like if he ordered her to kill Draco or Narcissus, than she would

[@timothyfrasier8218]

I could see Bellatrix betraying Voldemort if he went after Draco and Narcissa even though they didn't betray him and she realizes that Voldemort does not have servings he has slaves and he sees everyone as his slave including her and her family I could see her betraying him when he finally realized that when he tries to kill his own daughter and Draco and Narcissa protect her

[@steventaylor226]

Bellatrix was detained at Malfoy manor after harry escape and needed something drastic and so might break rules to fix reputation, but battle of hogwarts came in time and she seized that. Once her Gringotts vault got robbed that becomes another blow to her personally what she feared might get stolen .

[@kalebnolan8343]

I don’t think she did it for the care of her family, she did it because she has suspicions of snapes loyalty the whole time. She knew Draco couldn’t do it so what better way to make the dark lord happy by exposing a traitor and still having dumbledore killed

Did he really care about Draco Malfoy THAT much? Maybe he should’ve just told Narcissa and Belatrix no and he’d actually have leverage over Bellatrix because she did this behind Voldemort‘s back!

Don't forget that wormtail was there at spinner's end with Snape. To think he wouldn't tell his master about cissy and Bella paying Severus a visit?? He may not have know WHY they were there but he was definitely eavesdropping on them so he probably got the gist of it and told Voldemort. It was all part of his plan for them to find a way to keep draco from completing the task. He knows she would help her family but that she would also still stay loyal to him. He probably punished her in some way...but after spending years in Azkaban how much more insane could she get??

[@A_Morgan_S1400]

The biggest problem I have with this entire series is using love as weapon. Even if magic is down to intent, not every single person is going to agree on the same definition of love. When you can't define something, it's dangerous. And when it's dangerous, you shouldn't use it as something to win a war with, or otherwise.

[@Astrid-88]

"And when it's dangerous, you shouldn't use it as something to win a war with, or otherwise." = you basically dismissed what war and weapons are. It probably isn't your point (I don't really get your philosophy) but war itself is dangerous and all weapons are dangerous. So why not use love as a weapon when some definitions of love are dangerous? That's what actually makes love a weapon. Weapons are dangerous. Love turns into a weapon when love is dangerous. Love that isn't dangerous is not a weapon.

[@A_Morgan_S1400]

@@Astrid-88 I meant dangerous as in unstable. Not everyone will define love the same. Surely there are enough definitions out there in the world to make one's head spin. If magic is down to intent and the intent is a little different each time, why does the spell/magic still work?

[@rebeccascholtes1438]

Bellatrix's betrayal is up for debate, because Voldemort's order had room for interpretation. The task of killing Dumbledore allowed for two possible outcomes: either Dumbledore dies, or Draco fails and dies instead. Sure, we could all understand that Voldemort intended for Draco to fail, simply because of the difficulty level of the task, but for Death Eaters, fulfilling their master's orders is their number one priority. Because it's not specified that Draco MUST kill Dumbledore directly in a duel (indirectly was fine, as he tried with the necklace and wine), it could be debated whether or not Snape killing Dumbledore instead falls within the borders of that order. At the end, Draco used everything he had access to, in order to fulfill his task. If Voldemort wanted to kill Draco directly, he would have been dead. If Bellatrix thought that either outcome would have pleased her lord, she could have justified her trip to Spinner's End, at least in her own mind. Would Voldemort be extremely upset, no doubt. But I don't think she saw it as a betrayal, simply because she'd rather die then betray him.

I didn't read the books; Is it in there that the intent of Draco's assignment that it was purely to hurt Lucius? Sure, it makes sense, but based solely on the movie, Draco being a mole in Hogwarts where the Death Eaters couldn't get into was a logical move.

[@HufflepuffBaseball42313]
