NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT NEVILLE!
Why would you do this? Ugh, it's so perfect for Bellatrix, but still- Neville!
Heehee, possessing shenanigans. Love how Voldemort was all, "Why you wear heels, man? They are painful." And Bellatrix was all, "I just put 'em on like a BA every day" (but really she was thinking "Because they make my ass look good.") Sorry for the language. They will take the wizarding world by storm.
As for the middle scene, with foetus Voldemort... I'm not sure what effect you were hoping for. I hope "creeped out" was it, because I was. Very. And if that was not the intended effect... well done anyway.

Can I just say that I can't wait for his reaction when he finds out Harry's a horcrux. He can only live for sure if Harry lives. Ahaha!
So, what will happen now, I wonder? I'm guessing that Bellatrix will be even more motivated to help him. As for the Order, I know that Harry will be planning to stop Bella, but will he do so with the help of the Death Eaters? It seems that way, though it'll be a hell of a time trying to get the two sides to work together. It would probably be easier if Snape were still alive.
And Bellatrix throwing herself into her work. She's acting in a way that none of the other Death Eater's would have predicted. Instead of losing it completely, she's pulled herself together even more than before. I'm impressed.
Also (can't believe I didn't make this connection before) Draco, like Harry again. Survived the killing curse. I have a funny feeling he'll be the one to end Bellatrix. I could be totally wrong, of course.

Called it! I knew there was more to Voldemort's death! Of course, I forgot that, since Harry still alive, Voldemort can't die just yet. My guess is that he's communicating with Bellatrix, or possessing her somehow in order to give her instructions.
Poor Lucius and Narcissa. Ironically this puts Draco in the same boat as Harry now. Wonder if that will mean that they reconcile? Probably not, but we'll see.
I suspect that the reason why Voldemort hasn't revealed himself is manipulation. By allowing Bellatrix to continue to believe that he's dead, he's letting her do all his work for him. That's just like Voldemort: sticking to the shadows, not showing his face in order to conjure fear.

That answers my question, then.
Still, convincing the Order to help the Death Eaters take over Britain and let purebloods reign supreme? Good luck with that, Snape. They might agree to get rid of Bella, but other than that there's a bit of a conflict of interest.
And yes, we are indeed seeing evil mastermind Bellatrix! She's doing a pretty good job of it so far. One thing I've noticed so far: rule one of being an evil mastermind is to be compassionate when you kill someone important to you (even if you are still, in fact, killing them). I have no doubt that she would choose Voldemort over her sister any time.
My question, however, is this: I've noticed that so far, Bellatrix hasn't given any thought to what she'll do after getting revenge. She doesn't seem to see herself as the leader of Britain like Lucius does.
Loved the chapter!

Here we go...
I'm a bit surprised that Voldemort's gone, just like that. I wonder if there's something more to that? Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
Now I'm wondering why things are different in the first place. What happened after Harry, Ron and Hermione got the locket that allowed Voldemort to win? How did the other Horcruxes get destroyed? How did Snape know? I remember Dumbledore telling him in the pensieve that it was none of his business.
Speaking of Harry, I wonder what he'll think of all this. Will he still think it's necessary to fight?
And Bellatrix. Bellatrix! Are we going to see scheming, badass evil mastermind Bellatrix? That would be so cool. Or the usual torture-happy Bella, she's good too. Basically any Bellatrix is good.

Lucius, Lucius, Lucius... you know it never ends well when your reasons for killing the bad guy are because you're dreaming of taking his place. I do admire him for wanting to protect Narcissa and Draco, though. I'd always thought that the "take care of my family no matter what" disposition was more Narcissa's, but I could see Lucius doing the same.
What will Bellatrix do? If she's already suspicious, I'm guessing that Rabastan is going to have a lot of trouble getting her away from the meeting. The dynamic between her and Voldemort is good too; he would definitely try not to show weakness around her. I wonder if you structured this chapter the way you did on purpose: to show the contrast between Lucius/Narcissa and Bellatrix/Voldemort. The first has trust and love, while the other is lust (maybe love?) but not exactly the required emotional closeness for a good relationship.

See, this is why Voldemort's ultimate plan would never have worked. The natures of the Death Eaters would have ensured that, ultimately, they would turn on either him or each other at some point, and his army would fall apart. You can't build a society on a foundation of lies and deceit.
I love this idea! I'm planning on reading the rest of it for sure. I know it hasn't been updated in a while, which is fine. I hope you decide to revive it.
When I read about the bowing, red-robed figures, my mind immediately went to the Imperial guards from Star Wars. All hail Palpatine...

I know it's been a while but I hope you update, I really like this story and where it is headed. Great job! :)

This is a very unusual story, but it is also a very good story. I honestly believe that if the story had gone this way, it would have gone this way. You are an incredibly talented writer and I like how while you're keeping canon, you're not if that makes sense. These stories are the kind of stories that I love really. The ones that take 'What If...' questions and shows how it would have happened in an incredibly realistic way. I can't wait to read more.

So pleased to get an update!

I loved the part when Bella shares her body with the Dark Lord, of course she is better then Wormtail. I enjoyed the Dark Lord's musings : "No privacy, no control, no hesitation and valuing someone's life so much higher than her own. How did that make any sense? Even scanning her thoughts provided no answers" ha ha I love how clueless he is. He sees love but still doesn't understand it.

I reallly hope Neville doesn't miraculously escape. Maybe because it always happen in Jk's books when the good had to win, I'm expecting him to be ..I hope not:D.

I really liked Antonin insight too.

Brilliant,hope you update again soon:)

Yayyyy! D this was an amazing chapter - I loved the Antonin insight, the extent of Bella's loyalty and everything she does to ensure her master's comfort on top of the success of his plans, the Dark Lord's bewilderment and the last part - Hannah, Harry and Ginny were all perfectly portrayed. It was brilliant ;)

Thank you so much for updating! I had quite a very dull and boring day today, until i saw you updated that is! :D

It was a great chapter, and I do hope that you'll update soon! :)

I was wondering when you were going to update this story again. It's a great story so far, and you left it very suspensful! So I was just wondering if you were still writing this story...

THIS IS BRILLIANT! I was so sad when Voldemort died, but now he's back and he and Bella are together again! Please update soon!

xbea

Andromeda!Good choice to have her here. I'm truly curious if the Order will work with the death eaters.

"Unfortunately the next chapter may also be a long wait for" And you were I wanted to ask...do you plan to update? I loved stories and they were updated after 1 or 2 years so I'm not losing hope on that.I really want to see how Voldemort survived. So update?Pretty please?
