Biography

Early life (1928 - 1940)

Rose Lestrange was born on 8 June 1928, the only daughter of Faustus Lestrange II and Araminta Lestrange (née Gamp). She was the youngest but not the only child in her family. She had an older brother, Cyrus, who was much older than her and attended Hogwarts before her. 

Hogwarts years (1940 - 1945)

Lestrange attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Slytherin House, eventually joining the Horace Slughorn Slug Club with her brother, Cyrus, and a classmate, Tom Riddle. While at school, Rose discovers that her brother is a member of Tom Riddle's gang, involved in dark magic and the torture of Muggles. She accused Riddle of forcing him to join his group, which Riddle denied and then told her to stay away from it.

Arranged marriage of Malfoy's heir

At some point in an unknown year, Rose becomes Riddle's girlfriend; however, the news is not good for her family that their daughter is dating a half-blood wizard. They arranged a marriage between Malfoy's heir and Rose immediately; however, Rose was not pleased and tried everything to annul the marriage. Rose told Tom that she was set to marry Malfoy, and Riddle was furious.

Death of Rose Lestrange

After a quarrel with Riddle in the Forbidden Forest, Rose was heartbroken when Tom left. Witnessing the argument, Malfoy confronted her, claiming to know about her relationship with Riddle. He then tried to force her to marry him, but Rose vehemently disagreed, infuriating Malfoy. In a fit of rage, he killed her. Later, Tom discovered Rose's lifeless body in the Forbidden Forest, overwhelmed with grief at the loss of the love of his life.
