Author's Note: This fanfiction is not serious. None of the plot that happens here is part of my personal canon in any way. This is set 3 or 4 years before the Lestranges go to Azkaban.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter books or any characters in them.
There was an unnervingly fancy envelope in the mail. It puzzled Rabastan. They rarely got mail in such decorative envelopes. He opened it. The letter was decorated, too. It read:
To the Lestranges:
We insist that you participate in the annual party by throwing part of it at your manor. We will come over Saturday to provide general guidelines for the decoration.
-Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy
"Irritating." Well, it was probably a good idea to show it to Rodolphus and Bellatrix. He climbed the stairs, carrying the letter.
"They expect us to go along with it, to host their stupid party?" Bellatrix was enraged. "It can't hurt to let them come over, Bella." Rodolphus didn't seem nearly as annoyed as Bellatrix.
