These Words Are The End
-:-:-:-:-
Evan Rosier
Success is ensured by believing you will be successful, Evan decides. Death Eaters who fail can only blame themselves.
He dies thinking he is invincible.
-:-:-:-:-
Amycus Carrow
"We'll be martyrs, you know," Alecto nervously blurts out. "If we die in battle. Our names will be remembered for generations."
Amycus silently thinks that he would rather survive.
-:-:-:-:-
Rabastan Lestrange
Together they are undefeated. Invincible. They are the Lestrange brothers, and they are inseparable on the battle field.
Rodolphus marries Bellatrix and, just like that, Rabastan finds himself replaced.
-:-:-:-:-
Alecto Carrow
Sparks and swaths of green cut their way through the air, and faces rush by, bloodtraitors and Death Eaters an indistinguishable blur. Alecto raises her wand but doesn't aim.
-:-:-:-:-
Lucius Malfoy
Narcissa wears the same shade of soft pink nail polish to every funeral they attend.
Lucius sees her grab for the bottle every time his Mark burns.
-:-:-:-:-
Bellatrix Black
"Bella, you have a bit of soot on your hands. It's disgusting, clean it off."
A bit of soot? Last night her hands were covered in Muggles' blood.
"Yes, Mother."
-:-:-:-:-
Antonin Dolohov
Muggles are evil. The scum of the earth. Mere animals.
Antonin's unblemished hands cast his first Unforgivable and he falls asleep whispering:
They are the enemy. They must be defeated.
-:-:-:-:-
Rodolphus Lestrange
Another family dinner: Mother talks about the House Elf, Father about their Gringotts' account.
"Dear, please pass the mashed potatoes."
Rodolphus swears his life will never become this mundane.
-:-:-:-:-
Walden Macnair
The household cat hisses and scratches and Walden's seven-year old hands angrily punch it again and again until it stops moving and isn't the lifelessness to its eyes beautiful?
-:-:-:-:-
Lord Voldemort
Tom,
I hope you had a nice Christmas.
From all of your fellow prefects, happy birthday!
-Minerva
"Tom." Not Voldemort. He emotionlessly throws the card in the orphanage's dustbin.

A/N: This was done for the Death Eater Competition over at the Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenge Forum. I decided to do it in the format of drabbles of 30 words or less, and here is the list of the prompts:
Evan Rosier: "All you need in life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure."
Amycus Carrow: "My goal in life is to survive. Everything else is just a bonus."
Lucius Malfoy: Nail polish
Rabastan Lestrange: "Will you marry me?"
Alecto Carrow: Lady Gaga's "Just Dance". The line I used was: "All of the people start to rush, start to rush by"
Bellatrix Black: Coldplay's "Viva La Vida". The lines I used were: "Shattered windows and the sound of drums/People couldn't believe what I'd become"
Antonin Dolohov: "The enemy came. He was beaten. I am tired. Good night."
Rodolphus Lestrange: Mashed potatoes
Walden Macnair: Cat
Voldemort: Birthday card
