Radolphus Lestrange II - Lestrange Sr

Nicknames: Rue, Rudolph

His patronus is a fox (an animal which usually represents cunningness and deception)

Radolphus is of German, French, and Iranian descent; his father is German and French while his mother is Iranian and German.

He had one younger sister Gisela who was seven years younger than him. She died when she was four from Cerebrumous Spattergroit in 1936.

Étienne Rosier - Rosier Sr

He is the elder brother of Druella Rosier.

The Rosiers were kinda like the Lestranges of the 1940s in regard to their association to powerful dark wizards. At the time, Étienne’s family were Grindelwald’s most loyal acolytes, much how like the Lestranges were Voldemort’s most valued followers.

He had a reputation in the school because of this since everyone knew his aunt was Grindelwald’s right-hand man woman.

Étienne never met Grindelwald in person but everyone assumed that he did and a lot of false rumors started going around the school about how he was a spying on Dumbledore for the Alliance.

Sergei Dolohov

Nicknames: Seryozha (not many people outside of his family call him this tho)

He was born in Russia and attended Koldovstoretz, but he was expelled and so his family sent him to England where he enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Sergei is Antonin Dolohov’s uncle, he himself never went on to have children; Sergei wasn’t much of a family man in all honesty, he liked his freedom.

Notorious for uprooting a tree on Hogwarts grounds and flying on it like a broom around the school.

Headcanon: Esclarmonde Lestrange’s birth name was Ashraqat, meaning “brightness” or “splendor”. When she married into the Lestrange family, they urged her to change it to something more suitable for their Anglo-French heritage. As a result, she adopted the name Esclarmonde, which was deemed appropriate by her in-laws.

This headcanon was approved by @jegulustragedy and @knights-0f-walpurgis. Thanks for letting me post this!

Y'all wonder what would happen if the Weasley twins met Keefe, I wonder what would happen if Bellatrix Lestrange met Lady Gisela.

Well they could either kill each other (forgetting that Bella is already dead) or they could team up and conquer hell.

Task 009: Unwavering Companions

Rabastan Lestrange has two cats. Both are orange, and both came into his possession under somewhat dubious circumstances.

The elder of the two, Saint Paul, was originally named Polaris. He started out life as the pet of Gisela Rosier, then went to her cousin Regulus Black after Gisela’s early death. Rabastan stole Polaris from Regulus shortly after murdering him.

The younger is technically named Xenia the Righteous, but is only ever referred to as Squash due to the creature’s short legs and unusual facial features. Rabastan was given the kitten by his brother Rodolphus under circumstances he has promised not to speak of.

[ Winter 1977 ] 

      Gisela hated everything about this. Christmas was meant to be fun. It was meant to be full of cheer and opportunities to sneak off for hot chocolate and pudding. Instead, she was standing there in a room full of people with a dress that barely let her breathe, and her father’s continuous glances that told her to be perfect. It was a waste of time. The engagement had already been publicly announced, and despite her internal protests, everyone knew she’d be marrying the Avery boy before she knew it. 

      Except, that she hoped to postpone such a marriage for as long as possible. Alton was not someone she wanted to marry. Not that he’d even been cruel to her, but well, she had always pictured choosing her own husband. She was capable of it, after all. Giving up, she took the champagne flute and quietly excused herself from crowd after crowd, quickly accepting congratulations as she made her way to the door and--

       She swallowed thickly. Champagne spilled all over Rabastan’s jacket. Her internal monologue of obscenities grew ever louder. Rabastan Lestrange. Merlin help her. “I...am so sorry, Mr. Lestrange. Let me just--” She reached to try to dab at his jacket, but she knew she’d just make it worse.

WHITNEY PRICE

Your brother tries to keep you from the magical world because of his fears, but you're not his possession and no amount of pressure or arguments will make you obey a terror that isn't your own. There's danger in the magical world, but there's danger everywhere and you know life can't always be the joy of enchanted fairy lights and vacations to dragon rescue centers. Maybe life isn't easier when people discriminate because of invisible attributes of your blood, but it's still better.

Mark Strong as Rodolfo Lestrange, the younger brother of Cyricus Lestrange and Ermesinda Yaxley (née Lestrange). When Rodolfo was fourteen in 1909, tragedy struck: his brother Cyricus lost his life in an accident at one of the dragon reserves in Bosnia, where he had been studying the creatures’ behaviors. In the wake of Cyricus's death, Rodolfo became the sole heir to the Lestrange family, bearing the heavy expectations of his parents. In those early years, as he took up his brother’s mantle, Rodolfo often blamed Cyricus for his selfish pursuit of passions that led to danger. He wished his brother had focused more on his responsibilities rather than chasing an unachievable dream of becoming a Dragonologist.

In 1912, at the age of seventeen, Rodolfo had began courting the young Helvetica Flint. The two had been a love match from the start, but unfortunately they were unable to marry as Helvetica had been promised to another man. Although the witch had already been betrothed, Rodolfo continued to see Helvetica throughout the first few years of her marriage until he himself became engaged. In spite of Rodolfo’s loving relationship with Flint, she had been the one who encouraged him to carry through with the union with his fiancée, Ashraqat Noorbakhsh.

Reluctantly, Rodolfo married Ashraqat in 1924, just a year before the death of his father. Both Lord and Lady Lestrange mutually valued their duties to the family and respected one another for their shared dedication towards the bloodline. Rodolfo was a very kind and generous husband, not having the heart to neglect his bride for the mistress he had taken to long before he’d been tied down to Ashraqat. Lord Lestrange had learned to admire and appreciate the wife that was forced upon him by duty and obligation, although he remained truthful to her and didn’t hide his love for Helvetica.

With the knowledge that their marriage would surely fail if neither of them were allowed their own personal pleasures, Ashraqat (now known as Esclarmonde upon her marriage to her husband), had allowed Rodolfo to continue his affair with Helvetica as long as he remained present for their family and saw his mistress in private so that he did not shame his wife.

In 1948, Rodolfo would pass away just a couple years after his son Radolphus married Tasoula Shafiq, leaving behind Esclarmonde as his widow. In the following years of Rodolfo’s death, he would become the paternal grandfather of Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange.

[konstantynowitz]

Ermesinda Gisela “Féchín” Lestrange (b. 5 March 1930 — d. 29 May 1932) was the only daughter of Rodolfo and Esclarmonde Lestrange. She was named after her aunt Ermesinda Yaxley (née Lestrange), and had been four years younger than her elder brother Radolphus Lestrange, who married Tasoula Shafiq in 1948. Féchín was a small joy brought to her family, her presence bringing much comfort to her mother. The girl was constantly dotted on during the few short years of her life, especially by Esclarmonde, and so her death brought much sadness to the Lestrange household.

The youngest member of the Lestrange family died in 1932, at the age of two, from Cerebrumous Spattergroit. At the time, Esclarmonde was devastated and never got over the death of her daughter. Lady Lestrange became bitter by her grief, her once loving and maternal disposition having faded, leaving Esclarmonde with nothing but a relentless ache in her heart.

Ermesinda Yaxley and Esclarmonde Lestrange are original characters belonging to @knights-0f-walpurgis and @jegulustragedy.

[harbinger-0f-spring]

Mark Strong as @konstantynowitz’s Rodolfo Lestrange. He was the husband of Ashraqat Noorbakhsh and the father of their two children: Radolphus Lestrange (II) and Ermesinda “Féchín” Lestrange. Although he passed away in 1948, Rodolfo would become the grandfather of Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange only a few years after his passing.

[harbinger-0f-spring]

Oh little Féchín, how you've grown...

Headcanon: In honor of Ermesinda Gisela, Remaclus nicknamed his niece Féchín in remembrance of the cousin he lost in childhood. There would be moments where Yaxley found himself reminiscing on the long faded memories he had of baby Féchín, realizing that she'd never gotten the chance to grow as her namesake had. And so, whenever Remaclus said "Oh little Féchín, how you've grown" with the passing years his niece got older, he could never fail to acknowledge the fact that his baby cousin had died too young for anyone to ever say that to her.

[knights-0f-walpurgis]

I'm assuming Féchin is a nickname? What does it mean? It sounds so cute.

it means "little raven", consisting of the Old Irish noun fiach ("raven").

[konstantynowitz]

Oooooo speaking of Tasoula,

Tasoula Shafiq meeting Lysistrata Yaxley?

They did meet!! The two weren’t that acquainted with each other during their years at Hogwarts because Tasoula was a bit older than Lysistrata.

Lysistrata was like a little sister to Radolphus, so when Tasoula properly met his cousin it seemed almost as if she were interacting with a part of Féchín.

[konstantynowitz]

How are you supposed to spell ‘Féichín’?

I guess it could be either Féichín or Féchín, it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day.

From what I can remember, I think I first introduced Ermesinda Gisela under the spelling of Féchín.
