In the fanfiction, their relationship could develop in a rather unexpected way. They might be forced into a situation where they have to protect each other, like being trapped in a dangerous wizarding location. This shared experience makes them see each other in a new light. Harry realizes that Rabastan isn't just a product of his dark family, and Rabastan sees that Harry is more than just the 'Chosen One'. Over time, this new - found respect turns into deeper feelings.
The relationship development could be a slow burn. Initially, it's all about political and strategic reasons for the marriage. However, as they get to know each other's daily routines, likes and dislikes, a bond forms. For example, Harry might introduce Rabastan to the joys of Muggle - born wizarding culture, and Rabastan could show Harry some of the more esoteric dark arts knowledge (not for evil purposes, but for understanding). This exchange of cultures and knowledge gradually cements their relationship.
At first, it might be full of tension. Harry may be hesitant and Rabastan could be guarded. But as they start to spend more time together, they gradually begin to understand each other. Maybe they share a love for a particular type of magic that serves as a common ground.
The relationship might start with a lot of suspicion. Harry would be constantly on guard around Rabastan, and Rabastan would be wary of Harry's intentions. However, as they are forced to live together in this fanfiction scenario, they might discover each other's hobbies and interests. For example, they could both be interested in a particular type of magic or in the history of certain magical artifacts. This shared interest could be the starting point of a thawing of their relationship, leading to a deeper connection over time.
One possible plotline could be the struggle Harry faces within the wizarding community due to his marriage to Rabastan. People might be suspicious and distrustful, thinking he has turned to the dark side. Another could be how Harry tries to redeem Rabastan, or perhaps they discover a common goal that unites them against a new, emerging threat in the wizarding world.
Some writers also use the concept of redemption. Rabastan has a dark past, and Hermione, being the empathetic character she is, might start to see the potential for him to change. This exploration of redemption can lead to a deepening of their relationship, as seen in several well - written fanfictions where Hermione tries to guide Rabastan towards a better path.
If Rabastan is captured by Harry and his friends, in captivity, he could start to have conversations with Harry. They might find that they have some shared experiences, like losing family members to the war, which could gradually lead to a less hostile relationship.
The idea of Harry Potter being the son of Rabastan Lestrange in fanfiction is quite wild. It would likely involve a lot of changes to the original plot. For example, his time at Hogwarts could be full of challenges as he tries to fit in while also dealing with the stigma of his new family. His skills in magic might develop in a different way too. He could have a natural inclination towards the Dark Arts, which he would have to struggle with. And the way the story would handle his relationship with Voldemort would be very different, perhaps even more complex.
He's often portrayed as a menacing figure. Since he was a Death Eater, he's usually shown as being loyal to Voldemort's cause. In many fanfics, he's involved in dark magic and evil schemes.
At first, Rabastan might be distrustful of Hermione. After all, she's a Gryffindor and he was a Death Eater. But as time passes, he starts to see her kindness and intelligence. He may become grateful to her for saving his life and slowly begin to open up to her. They could start to have conversations about magic, with Rabastan sharing some of the dark magic knowledge he has (in a non - malicious way) and Hermione teaching him about the good side of magic. Their relationship could develop into an unlikely friendship.
A major theme is the exploration of his character's complexity. Instead of just being a villain, fanfictions try to show his different sides. His past traumas or the reasons he got involved with the Death Eaters in the first place. There's also the theme of survival in a post - war wizarding world, where he has to deal with the consequences of his actions and find a way to exist.
The theme of secrecy and hidden knowledge is prevalent too. Rabastan might know secrets about the Death Eaters or the wizarding world in general. Fanfictions play with this idea, showing Harry or other characters trying to uncover these secrets from Rabastan. It creates a sense of mystery and suspense throughout the story, making it engaging for the readers.
Rabastan Lestrange is a rather dark and complex character in the Harry Potter universe. In fanfic, he can be explored in various ways. He was a Death Eater, which means his actions were often cruel and in line with Voldemort's evil plans. Some fanfics might focus on his time in Azkaban and how that changed him, or they could explore his relationships within the Death Eater ranks, such as with his brother Rodolphus. His loyalty to Voldemort is also a key aspect that could be delved into in fanfic.
