Druella Black (née Rosier) was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black III. The couple had three daughters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa Black. Through Bellatrix, she is the mother-in-law of Rodolphus Lestrange. Through Andromeda, who was disowned for marrying Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks, Druella is the grandmother of Nymphadora Tonks and great-grandmother of Teddy Lupin. Through Narcissa, she is the mother-in-law of Lucius Malfoy, the grandmother of Draco Malfoy and great-grandmother of Scorpius Malfoy.[2] Druella may be related to the Death Eater Evan Rosier and another Death Eater named Rosier.[3]

Behind the scenes

  • Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Druella may have been a member of the Slytherin House, like her husband Cygnus.
  • In the Black family, the name Ella also appears before Druella married Cygnus. There were Ella Max and her daughter Elladora.
  • One of Druella's daughters, Bellatrix, has thick eyelids (she is described by Harry Potter as having heavily-lidded eyes). It is likely that this feature of her appearance was inherited from her mother as no mention is ever made of this characteristic in any members of the Black family.
  • Either Narcissa or Andromeda could easily have inheritaed their Mother's Physical Appearance.
  • It says on Narcissa Malfoy's Family Members section of her Profile that Druella is not dead as there is no cross beside her name.

Etymology

Druella may be a combination of the names Drusilla, often shorted to Dru and meaning "dewy-eyed" or "fruitful", and Ella, a Norman name derived from the Germanic word ali, meaning "other".[4] Drusilla was the name of infamous Roman Emperor Caligula's favourite sister, as well as the daughter named after her.
