â OVERVIEW:
tw: death
An agent of chaos, Alecto Carrow is the kind of witch who likes to keep people guessing. The youngest of the Carrow twins by a few minutes, Alecto grew up shielded by her brother AMYCUS who took the brunt for a lot of their shared schemes. A mischievous child, Alecto was the bane of her motherâs existence. IRIS HOOKUM had married into the Carrow family with the best intentions, pouncing on EROS CARROW who had recently been bereaved. The only Carrow left as Dragon Pox had taken his family, his parents had made him promise to carry forth their family name and keep their line pure. Iris certainly took advantage of his grief and although she wasnât his ideal choice she was the perfect Pure-Blood wife. Laughing  with the likes of DRUELLA BLACK and MARIE LESTRANGE, cutting off her family before her husband and throwing such splendid parties it would have been easy to mistake her for a member of the Twenty-Eight since birth. Only Alecto spoiled her motherâs aspirations. Alecto enjoyed doing things for shock value, which only worsened as her powers began to spiral out of control. When she was seven she watched as a cake floated across the room and landed on NARCISSA BLACK, spoiling her beautiful white dress which was stained cherry red from the garnishing. Arguments with her mother sometimes resulted in the chopping up of her favourite handmade spider silk gowns and Merlin bless anyone who tried to force her into a dress.
Unsuspecting victims were always the favourite target of Alecto, but poor house elves who would attempt to make her presentable were also unsafe from her fury. When it came to her father, Alecto often came out unscathed. A gleaming little grin on her porcelain features. Iris Carrow knew her daughter was the devil incarnate, but to Eros she could do no wrong, mostly because her brother often took ownership for her wickedness. As the slightly older twin, Amycus was always very happy to say he had dared his sister to do things or had held something over her head to behave the way she did. Iris knew he was only doing it to be kind to his sister but despite their motherâs protests Eros took his confession at face value and so Iris and Eros believed they had brought two very naughty children into the world who egged the other one on. They were not completely wrong. Although Alecto was often the instigator, Amycus was more than happy to go along with anything she proposed and did also suggest people to torment or new ideas for them to try. The main difference between Alecto and Amycus was a small but vital one. Alecto was a better liar and was sneaky enough to not get caught unless it was what she intended. Amycus loved her enough to take the hit and whilst she loved him deeply, Alecto Carrow would always love herself more than anyone else. At Hogwarts, Alectoâs chaotic ways followed her. She spent the majority of her time irritating others rather than actually focusing on her education.
Sorted into Slytherin she was the favourite of mischievous boys. WILLIAM GOYLE in particular was always happy to run away with her on her schemes, whist VICTOR YAXLEY was happy to involve himself in anything that involved targeting his sister ELEANOR. Despite making new friends, Amycus was still her best friend and the pair stuck together through thick and thin, sitting at the back of PROFESSOR BINNSâ classroom, chewing sweets and spitting them out at unsuspecting mudbloods, MEAGHAN MCCORMACK and ARASH MORADI. Out of all those she terrorised, TILDEN TOOTS was someone who intrigued Alecto. Tilden would always fight his own corner, hurling insults and hexes her way that gave her the biggest thrill. Alecto respected Tilden, though she would never admit it to him. Her targeting of him at school made her a number of enemies. SAOIRSE MACMILLAN, SYBILL TRELAWNEY, EVE DIGGORY, EDGAR BONES and AUGUSTUS ABBOTT made it their mission to spoil her fun, though Alecto didnât let them get in the way all that much. Frequently in dentition, Alecto eft Hogwarts with very minimal qualifications and not a lot of prospects. Arriving back at her family home, Alecto was ready to enjoy the rest of her life as a socialite in London, causing trouble at large gatherings and living at Carrow House on the outskirts of South West London but Iris had other ideas. No sooner had the twins turned twenty-one and they were out into society with their mother working hard to procure them marriage contracts.Â
Eros had little interest in interfering in the affairs of his wife and children, as long as they eventually came to marry into Pure-Blood families and ensured at least one of them had an heir to one day inherit their house he was completely uninterested. A carousel of people would come to Carrow House to attend events held there, all thrown in the hopes of attracting someone to take on Alecto. When she was all finished and dressed in her finery, Alecto Carrow was so beautiful that her flaming red hair and piercing green eyes could rival that of Narcissaâs widely discussed good looks. But finding someone to handle Alecto would be her motherâs biggest fear. With no sorcerer seemingly up to the task it was Iris instruction that Eros begin playing cards with other notable families, in the hopes of getting into the good books of someone who would hopefully not have heard of Alectoâs wickedness enough to consider her a potential daughter-in-law. With EELIS BLACK in attendance at the bequest of his wife with no interest in gambling away any of his hard earned money, he was quite quick to offer up his son CAIUS BURKE to Alectoâs father, having seen a photograph of her and knowing her last name were enough to please both his wife and son. Alectoâs mother was overjoyed. Alecto on the other hand was less than impressed. A very self-assured and independent witch, the fact she had been offered up to a boy without her say had bothered her immensely, but instead of arguing with her mother she decided to do things her way and drive Caius away herself.
To her surprise, Alecto found that Caius had as much self-confidence as she did, was a terrible flirt and was so intent on pleasing his mother he was willing to marry her despite her horrid personality. Except to Caius she wasnât horrid at all, she was a mysterious challenge he wanted to figure out like the artefacts which sat in his family shop. The more Alecto tried to outwit him, the more he surprised her and somewhere along the way she began to feel some genuine attraction toward him. Suddenly becoming Alecto Burke didnât seem like the worst idea in the world, she liked Caius far more than anyone else her mother had attempted to throw her together with, but just as she found a prospect she was pleased with fate pulled out the rug from under her. Erosâ gambling was the reason her marriage contract had been drawn up and it was the reason it was also ripped apart. It seemed her father had enjoyed gambling a little too much and had found himself in a considerable amount of debt and the deed to their home in the hands of CECCILY GREENGRASS Due to her fondness for gossip and a tip off to RITA SKEETER it soon became known the Carrow family were broke. Iris had no money from the Hookum family as a result of her cutting them off and their father had gambled away whatever else they had. Iris was outraged and Amycus and Alecto who had never worked a day in their lives were promptly turned out into London to attempt to find work with their pitiful grades and notoriety as purists.
The only people who would take any pity on them were ANDRESSA and CHRISTIANO PARKINSON who saw something in the twins they thought was worth nurturing. What Alecto lacked in ability as a witch she made up for in intellect, tact and manipulation. Alecto Carrow had a way of reading people, she knew what they wanted, what they liked and what to say to get people to part with information and with their money. Twirling her long red hair around her pale finger, Alecto is known to be able to get high profile people into The Grave Affair and set them on a course of ordering the most expensive things on the menu. When she gets bored, Alecto and her brother fill their time by pickpocketing easy targets, making bets with one another as to who can get the most money at the end of the evening they then tell the Parkinson twins they earned in tips. It was a simple life for two people who thought theyâd be sipping champagne in paradise for the rest of their lives, but strangely Alecto was happy. There was only one thing bothering her, something she didnât know she wanted until she was told by his mother she couldnât have it. Caius Burke. Alecto has overheard it being talked about that Caiusâ mother is set to marry him off to ADRASTEIA GREENGRASS who curates the menu and creates the cocktails for The Grave Affair and currently holds the deeds to her house. Intent on reinstating their family name, wealth and wiping Adrasteia off the face of the earth, Alecto is determined to ensure she is once again given her rightful place in society. Whatever it takes.
