One plot idea could be that Rabastan, in an alternate universe, is forced to team up with Harry Potter to fight a common dark magic threat that endangers both the wizarding world and the Death Eaters' own interests. This would create a lot of tension as they have to overcome their natural enmity.
A story where Rabastan Lestrange, after Voldemort's defeat, is on the run and accidentally stumbles upon Harry Potter. Instead of fighting, they start to have a series of conversations that make them see each other in a new light. Rabastan might have some secrets about the Death Eaters that could help Harry in his post - war efforts to reform the wizarding world.
Well, a possible plot is that Andromeda is on a quest to find a magical artifact that Rabastan also wants. They cross paths and initially battle for it. However, during their encounters, they realize that there are greater threats in the wizarding world that they should be concerned about. So, they join forces. As they travel together, they learn about each other's pasts and dreams. Rabastan might be struggling with his family's expectations and Andromeda with her identity as a Black who has turned away from the family's dark traditions. This journey of discovery and cooperation could form the core of the fanfiction.
A plot might revolve around the wizarding community's reaction to Harry's new identity. Some might fear that he has the same dark tendencies as the Lestrange family. This could lead to Harry being ostracized at Hogwarts. Meanwhile, he might start to notice some strange powers or abilities within himself that he can't explain. He then tries to find out if these are related to his Lestrange heritage. Along the way, he forms new alliances with some unlikely characters who are also interested in the secrets of his family.
One possible plot could be that it's an alternate universe where the war ended differently. Harry, in his quest for peace and to end the cycle of hatred, decides to marry Rabastan Lestrange as a political move. He hopes to reform the pure - blood supremacist ideas within the Lestrange family. They might start off as strangers, but gradually learn about each other's pasts and find common ground in their losses. Harry could use his influence to bring Rabastan into the light side, and together they could work towards rebuilding the wizarding world in a more inclusive way.
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.
A possible plot could be that Rodolphus Lestrange, having some remorse after Voldemort's defeat, tries to make amends by approaching Harry Potter. Harry is initially skeptical but then realizes that Rodolphus has some valuable knowledge about dark magic artifacts that could be a threat if they fall into the wrong hands. So they form an uneasy alliance. Also, there could be a plot where a spell gone wrong during a fight between Harry and Rodolphus causes them to swap minds for a short time, leading to humorous and also tense situations as they have to navigate each other's lives.
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.
Some fanfics explore Bellatrix's family relationships more deeply. Like her relationship with Narcissa. There could be a plot where Bellatrix has to choose between loyalty to Voldemort and protecting her sister, which adds a lot of emotional depth.
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.
One common theme is redemption. Malfoy, especially, is often a character who is explored in terms of his potential for redemption. He may have been on the wrong side during the main series, but in fanfiction, he can find a way to make up for his past mistakes. Another theme is the exploration of the dark side. Rabastan Lestrange was a Death Eater, and fanfictions may delve into his motives and the allure of the dark magic he practiced.
