Well this is it, the last chapter eek! And it's actually one of my preferred pairings, hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

Well here it is, the final chapter of my story and my partner in this one is an interesting one for sure. Now I came upon this pairing when I discovered the Bellatrix/Hermione pairing and I was fascinated with the thought process you'd have had when considering pairing me with this man. He's almost three times older than me, one of Voldemort's most loyal Deatheaters. He tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom into insanity and was sentenced to life in Azkaban. If you aren't sure who it is yet then my final clue is this. He's married to Bellatrix Lestrange. Yes my final partner in crime is Rodolphus Lestrange.

I've been thinking of positives for this one for a long time now and I can't think of anything, I guess if I really had to push for one I'd be superficial and go with his wealth. He's a rich pureblood so I wouldn't have to worry about being out of pocket. With him in Azkaban his vault has been frozen so he's as rich as the day he was incarcerated.

Negatives for this little chapter are in fact the easiest I've had; apart from Voldemort himself.

First up is the most obvious… he's a Deatheater and not only is he a Deatheater but he's Lord Voldemort's most loyal. How can you possibly pair me with a man so devoted to a cause that ultimately kills me? I know you've paired me with Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape but Malfoy is more bothered about his purse strings than Voldemort and Snape is a spy for the order but Rodolphus Lestrange is just a sadistic murdering git, it's really insulting.

Secondly he's responsible for what happened to Frank and Alice Longbottom. For all of you who don't know he, and his crazy wife and brother tortured the Longbottoms for information rendering them insane and leaving Neville without his parents. Neville is a dear friend, I'd not be able to look him in the eye if I was in a relationship with that monster.

Now call me what you want but I don't want to date someone who's being sentenced to life in Azkaban for murder, rape and torture. I wouldn't feel safe to start with nor would I want to be anywhere near someone like that. He deserves to rot in that place.

I hate to break it all to you but Rodolphus Lestrange is a married man and whether that marriage is loving or not he's still married. I would just hate to break up the twisted, sadistic and perfectly matched couple that is Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange. I've had the unpleasant luck of meeting Bellatrix and she belongs to someone with the name Lestrange because she's anything but normal, and that's putting it nicely.

I'm rolling the next two in to one, he's an old pureblood. I mentioned previously that he's nearly three times older than me and to me that's a no go area. A few years aren't a problem but 30 plus is a complete red zone. The blood status of his isn't the problem, it's mine. Are you forgetting I'm Muggleborn? Pureblood Deatheaters don't suddenly fall in love with Muggleborn witches overnight and decide to change their ways for her.

Moving on to stories pairing Rodolphus and me. I've come across quite a few interesting ones.

I am the long lost daughter of Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange. I was sent to a Muggle adoption agency when my parents were sentenced to Azkaban. Now they're released they want their daughter back, I have no choice in the matter and I'm sent to live with the Lestrange's all the while I bat off the unwanted interest from Voldemort while trying to settle into my new school house (which I've been forced into) and ignoring Harry and Ron. Along the way I eventually change my parent's heart and as the war comes to a close they join me on the light side… Now hold on a second. Firstly Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange don't have a heart that can be changed, secondly what are you thinking! There is no way I'm related to that man, I'd disown myself if that was the case. If I was their daughter do you think I'd allow them to control me like that? Even with that all behind me I do find the story amusing to say the least. If I wasn't forced into a new house, to give up all my friend and to sit near that snake then maybe it would be more acceptable.

Secondly the most realistic style is the torture fic. I have been captured by Rodolphus Lestrange and he tortures me over and over before eventually killing me. Sadly out of all the stories, this is likely to happen if I ever run into that man. There'll be no happy romantic scene but a pure and gruesome murder. I don't want to see this style being written because it hurts to think about the truth.

Sadly you've degraded me to slave. I've been caught by Deatheaters and brought to Voldemort who decides to give me to his most loyal servant as a gift. I'm forced into sexual acts to please my "master". But as the story progresses I slowly fall in love with the man underneath the robes and cloaks and in return he begins to see me for more than a slave and the feelings he's tried to hide eventually work their way through. Now Stop. I don't know where you go this idea from but it's abysmal! I will not be treated as a slave nor will I ever fall for my "master" no exception I do not ever want to see this story again!

Now my favourite. Rodolphus Lestrange was placed under imperious curse by Bellatrix at the beginning of their marriage and he was unable to break it. After many years he breaks the curse and joins the order. As he's the new spy I'm unsurprisingly paired with him and at first I hate him but along the way I fall in love with him. The story ends with the two of us together happy and in love. Do you want to know why it's my favourite? Because it's completely unrealistic it's hilarious. There is no way he'd join the order and there's an even less of a chance of the order accepting him. It is however the least harming story so I guess you can write this one just because I find it so unrealistically funny.

My final story is out of this world. My name is Hermione Lestrange and I'm the wife of Rodolphus, we are a happy couple; I kill Bellatrix in the war. We have a couple of children and together the two of us share a happy, romantic, compelling life with the best sex ever. When I first came upon this style I had to read the story twice because I was so in shock that I couldn't believe it. To be honest I'm still in shock over it. I wouldn't have a child with that man nor do I want the best sex ever from him.

If you're a Deatheater wannabe and you're the cofounder of the Rodolphus Lestrange fan club then I've a few different suggestions to go with...

Obviously there is Bellatrix, the styles of stories you could do are immense. Their marriage, time spent in Azkaban, a loss of a child, even their Hogwarts days.

If, like me, you don't like Bellatrix then why not Narcissa? Throw a spanner into the works and have the two consume in a steamy affair that their devoting spouses are unaware of.

If you're into a dark submissive fic with a hint of humour pair him with Voldemort. You could have him tortured or even a little sex slave. The idea is disturbing but so are Deatheaters.

I guess you could involve a Deatheater meeting and focus him as a main character but don't pair him with anyone.

To be honest I don't care who it's with as long as it's not me.
