Voldemort apparated to the school and loved its new look. He walked in, and the whole school bowed to him. Bellatrix smiled and said, "Hello, my love. It's been three hours and I already missed you." She planted a kiss on Voldemort's cheek, and he kissed her lips. She enjoyed being around her master and husband.
He looked around and said, "You have done a wonderful job, Bellatrix. You have made Hogwarts a place of beauty and power. You have made Hogwarts a place of our glory and our rule."
He looked at his children and his nephew and said, "And you have done well, too, my dear ones. You have shown your strength and your cunning. You have shown your loyalty and your defiance."
He looked at the students and said, "And you have learned well, too, my followers. You have learned to respect and fear me. You have learned to obey and serve me."
He looked at Bellatrix again and said, "But now I want to spend some time with you, Bellatrix. I want to take you to our home in the Chamber of Secrets. I want to show you how much I love you and appreciate you."
Bellatrix nodded and said, "Yes, my love. I want that, too. I want to go with you to our home in the Chamber of Secrets. I want to show you how much I love you and adore you."
They held hands and walked towards the entrance to the chamber. They said to their children and their nephew, "We are leaving for a while, my dear ones. We are going to our home in the Chamber of Secrets. We are leaving you in charge of the school. You know what to do, don't you?"
They nodded and said, "Yes, father. Yes, mother. We know what to do. We will take care of the school. We will make you proud."
They smiled and said, "We know you will, my dear ones. We trust you. We love you."
They entered the chamber and closed the door behind them.
Meanwhile, Delphini heard someone talking ill of her mother. She was a Ravenclaw boy who had been friends with Hermione Granger. He was smart and brave. He said, "Your mother is a witch, Delphini. She is a tyrant and a murderer. She has no right to be here. She has no right to rule us. She has no right to live."
Delphini was angry and offended by his words. She said, "Oh, really? And who are you to say that, half-blood? You are nothing but a stain on the wizarding world. You are nothing but a waste of space and air. You are nothing but a dead boy walking."
She snapped her fingers and called the basilisk. She said, "Come, my pet. Come and see what I have for you. Come and see this half-blood who dares to insult me."
The basilisk slithered out of the Chamber of Secrets and entered the Great Hall. It hissed and coiled its body. It looked at the half-blood with its yellow eyes.
The half-blood was terrified and paralyzed by the sight. He could not move or speak. He could only stare at the basilisk.
Delphini said, "You know what this is, don't you, half-blood? You know what this can do to you, don't you? You know what this will do to you, don't you?"
She looked at a mudblood girl who was sitting next to him. She was a Hufflepuff girl who had been friends with Ron Weasley. She was kind and loyal.
She said, "And you know what this is, don't you, mudblood? You know what this can do to you, don't you? You know what this will do to you, don't you?"
She pointed her wand at the mudblood's head and said, "Mobilicorpus!"
She lifted her head with her wand and forced her to look into the eyes of the basilisk.
The basilisk looked back at her with its yellow eyes.
The mudblood felt a surge of pain and fear.
She screamed.
