Adrienne raised her hand again as the discussion of the motivations continued, wanting to make another point. Almost involuntarily needing to, actually. "While everyone has a good point in saying that the Death Eaters all were somewhat motivated by fear of Voldemort, I actually think more than just Bellatrix was also motivated by power. The Lestranges, namely Bellatrix's husband and his brother, also seemed to find a bit of power among the structure of the Death Eaters as a group, and that had to motivate them to keep their position. Power is addicting, so why would they only be motivated by their fear of Voldemort turning on them? He actually seemed to have some sort of respect for them, if you think about it. And Dolohov. Wasn't there something about how Voldemort had to make a point to the Death Eaters who were around when he regained power when Harry Potter was fourteen? That he thought the Death Eaters who had ended up in Azkaban were more loyal to him than all the rest? That gave them a kind of power, and there's no way they can't have been motivated by that." She didn't know if it made sense, or if Professor Truebridge even would think it was valid, but she had to say it.
