Rabastan was never recognized by his parents, or anyone for that matter. It was always Rodolphus. Oh, Rodolphus' brother, the other Lestrange boy, he was cast aside like a dirty rag. No one cared about him because he wasn't the heir. It was Rodolphus who had gotten to marry Bella. It was Rodolphus who had gotten the house, and most of the inheritance. Rabastan was chopped liver his parents didn't care. So he decided to make his mark, he was going to join the Dark Lord.
It was a calm night, but Rabastan could feel a storm coming. He had figured out where the Dark Lord was holding meetings and when he arrived he was immediately greeted by a dozen death eaters.
"Stop I mean no harm I'd like to join your ranks." As the Dark Lord came in front of him, Rabastan bowed down in respect.
"Rise young lad you wouldn't happen to be a Lestrange would you?"
"Yes my lord."
"I knew your father." Rabastan stood in shock, he had no idea the Dark Lord knew his father.
"I went to school with him, and he was a respectable man, I hope you can life up to his standards." At that the Dark Lord cursed Rabastan and he fell screaming to the floor.
"Stop please!" he yelled, but the Dark Lord only continued mocking him.
"You will need to learn if you wish to be part of this group that I am a very demanding person. I do not tolerate foolishness." Rabastan stood only to be hit by another curse. "Therefore you will need to prove yourself. I would like you to go on a mission with Avery and Dolohov, and then if you could bring more supporters too that would be good." After a few moments he stood, and turned back to the Dark Lord.
"Do you accept woman?" Some chuckles spread around the death eaters and Voldemort just smiled.
"Who is she?" Rabastan took a gulp.
"Her name is Bellatrix Lestrange and she's my brother's wife. She was a Black though." Voldemort nodded an evil smile spread across his face.
"Bring her to us and your brother as well. Next meeting will be a week from today. You may leave us." Rabastan walked out the door and apparated away feeling as though he had actually proved himself for once in his life.
Okay so this was originally going to be a one shot about Rabastan joining the Death Eaters, but I'm going to continue it for at least one more chapter. Please review. :D
