Rodolphus Lestrange

1 His first word was Mummy.

But his mummy never came when he called.

2 On his 10th birthday his dad took him fishing. It was the only time he ever had alone with his dad.

He hated it.

3 In his first year he didn't receive a single letter from his parents.

4 He never made friends easily.

So he decided to focus on his grades.

5 That's when he saw her.

The most beautiful creature ever. He decided that he MUST have her!

6 The first and last time Rodolphus Lestrange was ever embarrassed was when he asked Bellatrix Lestrange to the dance.

She turned him down. Without a second thought.

7 He wrote to his father. Told him the story of the pretty girl who was not his. The girl who belonged to someone else.

8 He never received a reply.

9 That was when the feeling of power, possession and jealousy came.

And it never went away.

10 He did not attend his mother funeral. Instead he called out to her at night, crying silently. Asking her to come to him. Asking her to save him from the impending doom.

She did not save him.

11 He got there first! He got there before Lucius Malfoy! He got Bella. That was the way the world worked now.

You snooze. You Loose.

12 He never once regretted marrying Bella.

13 He showed her off to all his friends. His little possession. Because she was HIS!

He reminded her often enough.

14 When Bellatrix said she was pregnant, He took a house elf outside and beat it senseless. Not until its little body was mangled beyond recognition did he give up and go inside.

He never knew why.

15 When he was told his son was dead he went numb for a second.

But he went back to his office and continued his work.

16 He almost let her kill herself when they were torturing the Longbottom's because like everyone else, she needed saving from the impending doom.

But Bellatrix did not deserve to be saved, she deserved to endure the guilt, the pain, the hate.

17 His favourite colour was grey.

which was lucky seeing that in Azkaban, it was the only colour he saw.

18 The Dark Lord once told him that the only reason Rodolphus was still alive was because of Bella. He responded that if Bella was his first priority then it was no wonder Harry Potter was still alive.

19 he never spoke out of term again.

20 After the great war he suddenly found himself lonely. He had never needed any friends before. He stood before Bella's grave and spoke to her.

But like everyone else he had ever known, she never came when he called.
