"Dolph," Rabastan hissed, "I don't want to do this. I don't want to become a murderer!"
"Don't worry, Rabastan," his older brother hushed. "I'll protect you. I'll speak to him and we'll find a way to get you out of it. Maybe if I work for him overtime or something."
"Yeah, that'll work," he scoffed. "That man is insane! He'll probably have you be paired off with that crazy Black sister and then you'll be driven mad due to spending so much time near her insanity! Let's just run, get away from it all."
"I can't," he told him dejectedly. "He's already marked me and I'm pretty sure he'll be able to find me anywhere. It doesn't matter now but I can help you get out of this life. You don't deserve this."
"Neither do you," Rabastan argued. "You're my brother, you think I'm going to just sit back and watch you ruin your life?"
"Yes, because you have to! I'm asking you this one thing. Please, for me?" Rabastan glared at his older brother and made no move to promise or agree. "Fine," he sighed. "Just, lay low and maybe he'll forget about you."
"You know," Bellatrix cooed in Rabastan's ears. "Your brother is rather handsome. Do you think he'd accept my Father's marriage contract? I do believe our Lord would approve of such a match."
"What are you saying, Bellatrix?"
"I'm saying that you really have no choice in whether you join his ranks or not." The boy's eyes widened in shock and she cackled at him. "You thought it was a secret? Oh, you and your brother are adorable! He's being punished as we speak, and you… You're going to sign your life away for our Lord's service, aren't you?"
"No," he argued, shaking his head but when she pulled her wand and hit him with an Imperious curse, he knew that he was screwed. "Of course I am," he amended instantly, feeling free. "Would he be able to reward me with the mark now?"
"I'm sure he can."
