Written for Nanaho-Hime's Bizarre Pairings (I think I've miserably failed, sorry) and for Hogwarts Online's Prompt of the day: Howling.

Thanks a lot to Jay (msllamalover) for her help and corrections of this piece!

The first time he saw her, Rabastan knew she would be his. Alice Flint was only eight years old at the time and he was eleven, but he knew. She was the only reason Rabastan enjoyed the stupid parties the adults threw every month, she was like a shiny toy that he enjoyed playing with.

...

She screams and suddenly her features aren't as soft and delicate as he remembers. With pain in her eyes, she's not pretty anymore.

...

His dreams were shattered when Alice's mother ran away from her husband taking the little girl with her. They were disgraced to all the pureblood families. She wouldn't come to parties, and he wouldn't see her anymore.

...

She's howling and her voice is hoarse but it feels good to his ears.

...

She entered Hogwarts and even if she was made a Gryffindor, and even if he was fourteen and she was eleven, Rabastan secretly wished he could have her back.

When he was seventeen and she was fourteen and it was acceptable for them to date, his parents reminded him she was disgraced and not a "Flint" anymore. A Lestrange could only date appropriate purebloods.

He was so obsessed with Alice that he didn't date any girl. But he didn't date her either. He spent time with her, occasionally helping her with her studies but never making a single attempt for more - yet. He didn't need it, she was his and even though everyone in his family refused it, he had no doubts.

...

Now, he can see she's not a pureblood princess. She never has been anyway. And her face is distorted and her clothes are torn, and she's ugly because she's not with him.

...

But then she started dating Frank, how he had hated it. How he hated him, it was burning him on the inside to see them together. So he hexed Longbottom one night. He had been expelled but it was worth it. Longbottom was a mess and his chances of survival were slim. He wouldn't touch his Alice again.

...

The Crutiatus curse soon is not enough and he wants to mark her as his. She screams even louder. He lets his brother and Bellatrix torture the other; sure he wants Frank Longbottom dead, but Alice is his. So he takes care of her.
