Upon apparating to the Lestrange manor after visiting the Dark Lord, the blood coursing through Rodolphus' veins was on fire. He could feel it flowing with excitement and anticipation. He could hardly wait to tell Bellatrix what their Lord had in store for them. It was right up their alley. It was something only the two of them could accomplish the way it needed to be handled. The sadistic pair was about to come out in full force. It had been too long since they had such a fun mission placed in their hands. The couple seconds to apparate was too much but when he finally made it --

"Where is my enchanting wife?" Rodolphus sang out loud. He wandered into the manor and headed toward her study where she spent much of her time. The door was cracked. He wrapped his fingers around the door jamb and opened it slowly. "My dear," he whispered loudly, slowly entering the room. "You will be happy to see me this evening." He walked to where she was sitting and placed his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them.

"I have a huge surprise for you," his voice became smarmy. "The Dark Lord wishes for us to find Duncan Blishwick. The pureblood who has made the colossal mistake of switching sides and giving out important intel." Rodolphus went to face his wife and crouched down. "We get to find him and take care of him in any way we like. Teach him who's boss and what turning your back on the Dark Lord does. How does that sound?" He said with a raised brow.

Rodolphus stood up and held his hand out. "Apparate with me?" he asked with a sly smile.

It was impossible to Floo to Lestrange Manor, their wards were too superior for that. Fabian kicked himself for not foreseeing that, a stupid oversight, but it was no matter. The hard way, then. He could do that, apparating to just outside the manor’s gates. 

Bellatrix and Rodolphus did have impressive wards. No surprise, considering how far into You-Know-Who’s inner circle he suspected they were. But wards were a speciality of his, Fabian knew how to look for their weak spots. Perhaps the rage clouding his mind now would have been enough to throw him off from that task, but he had an advantage he usually did not. It might be Fabian being careless now - no, not careless, it was simply there was only one thing he cared for and that was making Athena’s murderer pay - but Rodolphus Lestrange had been careless too. And that would lead Fabian straight to his wife. 

All the magic Rod had thrown around in his office had left a trace and Fabian had carefully harvested the remnants of Lestrange’s magical signature, figuring it would come in handy. He used it now not to blast apart the couple’s wards - although that would have been satisfying - but to subtly prod his way past them, the magic temporarily confused enough to believe he was the master here. 

Pretending to be Rodolphus. It was almost enough to make him sick. But he had more important concerns than Rodolphus Lestrange. He had only a moment to feel vindication at the wards allowing him past, closer to the imposing shadow of the manor - the door, he might allow himself the pleasure of blasting open, subtlety be damnned - when Fabian realised there was something he had not taken into account. 

The wolf. He had not known there was a wolf, but it was bearing down on him now, snarling and enormous, a beast perhaps even more savage than its owners. Clearly not fooled in the way the wards had been. “Exumai,” Fabian cried out, angry enough to stand his ground, rather than try retreating to the gates.

@lcnleyhearts the night was winding to a close for regulus, sick of the bright lights and loud sounds of the carnival, and he walked along the back of the carts and rides, on the other side of the fence now. he was just digging for a cigarette when he saw a familiar shape in front of him, though different than his memory was feeding him. that's how most of the interactions with his family went. "cousin," he said, removing his hand from his jacket pocket. "never took you for the carnival sort."

truth: fmk--sirius's cousins. dare: make fun of remus's costume

“Well that’s not very difficult – fuck Narcissa, kill Bellatrix and I’ll marry Andy, she’s the best one out of that lot anyway.”

Brutally Honest

“Wonderful love for family that one has,” Rita spoke before thinking over her words once more, “She can also be quite... how should I put it? Fierce. Yeah, that’s it. But you have to see her around a sister or cousin, real lovely.”

Fabian exited a darkly lit store without looking back at the witch he’d just done business with, shrouded in his cloak. He didn’t like Knockturn Alley very much, but it was useful for him. The runespoor eggs in his pocket were nearly impossible to get through Ministry channels. Not much stood in the way of Unspeakables, but runespoor eggs were technically illegal to trade. On the other hand, they might just be a key ingredient in the potion he was brewing at the moment. It made the trip into Knockturn worth it.

Though that didn’t mean he was particularly eager for anyone to see him here. While receiving a repimand from his superiors was unlikely, he had a feeling a few of his friends, maybe even his brother, wouldn’t approve of Fabian coming here. And truth be told, much of the clientele weren’t his idea of good company either. It was a bit hypocritical of him to make judgements, all things considered, but he didn’t think it’d be wise to linger here. Head down, and his hand in his pocket clutching the eggs, he moved quickly through the streets, moving to the side when others came through. 

The first times he’d come here he’d been far more nervous. Now he knew a little more about the unspoken rules of the Alley, avoiding eye contact, rarely exchanging names, long cloaks. The means to make himself invisible without ever raising his wand.

Loyalty. That's what Bellatrix offered Rodolphus. And he offered it in return. She had proved herself time and time again. He was lucky to have a wife in his inner circle. Not everyone had such good fortune. He was married to someone just as dedicated to the Dark Lord as he was. Deathly dedicated.

It didn't hurt that she was attractive. They made a good looking couple to boot.

But what brought them together this time was Rabastan. His brother had been so stupid as to let some Veela get the best of him so now Rodolphus and Bellatrix had to deal with the aftermath. They were sitting in the library, Rodolphus reading up on dark magic -- a book he had read many times. He looked up at Bellatrix. "I can't believe we're sitting here instead of being on the streets where we're meant to be."
