  Rodolphus Lestrange stood in the ferry watching the coast get closer.  He had managed to get out of Azkaban a second time and promptly made his way to relations in Canada.  The Canadians and Americans had tried to stay out of England’s war, and his relatives assured him they weren’t checking if new immigrants, especially rich and pureblood ones, were English war criminals.  He felt a smile tug at his lips.  

  Getting out of Azkaban, now that it had been stripped of Dementors and still in a state of rework, had been an easy enough feat. Now he was free, not only in legal terms but he was free of her.  Rodolphus had admittedly grabbed Rabastan and made a run for it as soon as it was looking bad for the Dark Lord. They had ultimately gotten captured and imprisoned, temporarily.  But he was alive and the others were dead.  Where did their devotion get them?  The grave.  

  And where was he?  Standing and breathing, about to live in the lap of luxury.  “Rodolphus”  He looked up as his brother spoke his name behind him. He looked around. 

  “Yes?”  

  “The food is out.  It’s quite good and they’re serving wine now, I hear.”  Rabastan said. 

  “I’m not interested.  Go enjoy yourself.” Rodolphus waved a hand. His younger brother frowned and muttered sourly.

  “Fine.  Don’t blame me when everything decent is gone”  

  Rodolphus glared after his brother but he was already gone.  Hmph.  Rabastan giving him lip was one of the first things that was going to change.  He was going to remind the man of the days when they were boys, and Rabastan didn’t dare look at him wrong.  Rodolphus returned to watching the coast come nearer.

  Now where was he again?

  Ah, yes.  That cursed bitch was dead.  Gone.  No longer around to torment, taunt and outright torture him.  He cursed the name Bellatrix Black. 

  And yet..

  Bellatrix was , he had to admit, the one who made him as ruthlessly effective as he was today. He would never say it to her face of course, and it was only safe to even think it now that she was dead, and could no longer inflict her brand of assault, brainwashing, torture and torment on him anymore.   He could rest easy.  He could sleep without fearing he would wake up to a cruciatus.  After all if she was still alive she would be livid to know that when he left England, he made a quick stop at their home and took one item.  

  Rodolphus instinctively ran his hand over the pocket that carried it.  An old black brass pocketwatch that had runic circles carved in it, allowing it to perform a kind of old magic that had been handed down in the Black family, when the rest of the wizarding world had forgotten it.  He had stolen it from her, just like she stole so much from him since they were betrothed.  And when they were married, his very sanity, and self respect.  Something he had gotten back since his escape, after the war.  

  Who was laughing now, you cursed old hag?

  Bellatrix had used this very pocketwatch to brainwash him, and instill forced loyalty in him every time that he wavered or questioned.  To beat him down when he even made a comment of anything she did.  She had promised to instruct him in the art of hypnotism, if he was “good” but he was never good enough for her.  Still he learned, by studying the way she used it against him.  In the precious few moments he was clear-minded, but shut away locked in a room like a prison, he was able to recall how she manipulated him, and spot where his mind had blank spots.  She most certainly meant those periods of imprisonment as a kind of torture, and sometimes it was, but other times he had made the best of it to temporarily regather his sanity and try to strategize.

  As the ferry neared the coast, he thought about what he would do with his freedom.  There were a few things on his agenda.  He would need to regather status, and prestige.  And also… he needed to find a wife.  This time he would be the one in charge.  The king of his household.  There would be no “Lord” higher than himself.  

  He would make absolutely certain of that.
