âIâm Li Shang!â She said gesturing to herself, as if that would clear up all confusion. âFrom Mulan.âÂ
.
Alastor snorted, attempting to hide a laugh. âOh, is that right?â he raised a brow, âWhich princess was that? Thatâs the muggle thing, right?â
Alastor tapped his finger against his chin as he looked at the other, âLet me guess...hm, nope. I canât figure it out. What are you even supposed to be?â
âThat was not what I was expecting you to say.â Preston paused, trying to process the prior comment. âWhat did you even mean by that?â
.
Alastor leaned back in his seat, âI just meant that my co-workers wonât be looking in my direction for a while, so I can finally have a bit of fun for once.â
đ¤ for our muses to be single together / @vincentxmontagneâ
âMontagne,â Alastor greeted with a slight nod. Currently, he had a bottle of whisky in his hands. âIf anyone asks, you didnât see me here. Especially with it being so closed to this particular holiday.â
âSince when is alcohol not an acceptable gift anymore?â he complained. âI swear I got so many dirty looks at Christmas. Thank fuck that time is over.â
â â- Victoire looked over at Alastor with amusement. âDo you take the whole month off,â she asked as she slipped on her coat. âIâve never actually been told I couldnât have a table,â she mused before she shrugged. âOne of us is just going to have to use our charms. Depending on who the Hostess likes better.â
.
âJust a few weeks,â he said with an amused smile. Alastor raised an eyebrow at the other, a smirk spreading across his lips. âOh, is that how it is?â he mused. The dark haired man followed suit, pulling on his jacket. âShall we turn this into a bet, Weasley?â
â â- âItâs been a long weekend and the new year isnât here yet,â Victoire hummed and smiled at the other person. âLetâs relax and try that new Restaurant in London.â
.
âI definitely want to the year to be over,â he said. âI saved up all my pto to use as soon as January hits.â Alastor dropped clicked his phone off and put it in his pockets. âAre we even going to be able to get a table?â
âOf course I have a diary, Alastor. Who the fuck do you think I am â a Sagittarus?â she rolled her eyes at the other. âOh no,â she hummed as realisation came to her. âI was supposed to get more yarn for the sweaters. Thatâs even worse than forgetting about the gifts,â she carried on before turning her attention back to the other man, rolling her eyes once more when he wasnât listening to her. âStop with those cringy thirst traps, Lestrange and help me look.â
.
Alastor furrowed his eyebrows, âWhat the hell is a Sagittarius? Oh god, donât go off on me about your zodiac signs again. I donât want to hear how Iâm a piece of shit because Iâm a Scorpio,â he said. Alastor hummed as she went on about yarn and sweaters, settling back down to here he was sitting and scrolling on his phone. He chuckled, âYou know itâs illegal for me to abuse my authority as an Auror to help you buy emergency yarn, right?â
âOh my God, donât even start â weâre organising Christmas at our house for Reeseâs entire family and at this point, Iâve already forgotten what I had forgotten to do⌠or buy⌠whatever,â she spoke to the other, without even taking a breath between her words. âI think I was supposed to buy somethingâŚâ
.
Alastor glanced up from where he was scrolling on his phone. âDonât you have a diary you could be writing this down in instead of ranting to me?â he said. He put his phone away, finally paying attention to her panicked rambling. âI hope it wasnât Christmas gifts because it might be a little too late for you.â

backstory
Describe their childhood (newborn - age 10):
Alastorâs life through these ages was filled with empty halls and playing by himself. When he was born, his father was already in prison and mother was alone in the manor. Elenora couldnât afford to keep the nannies and cooks in the manor when the Ministry taxed them, so Alator grew up in a lonely house. Elenora had lost her light, laying around and slowly becoming depressed. Alastor had house elves and other little boys and girls in the neighborhood to play with. But because she didnât watch him all the time, he often got hurt, trying to enter cursed rooms and touching cursed books.Â
All of the dangerous books and places in his Manor definitely had an influence on Alastor. He found himself wanting to know about them, attempting to read them when he learned how to read. Because of them, he also progressed at magic faster than others. With the help of his tutor, he began to develop magic faster than normal. He also developed a sense for loving danger.Â
When he was around four and five, his motherâs attitude began to change. she was dressing differentlyâbetter. she put on perfumes and was always going out. The light she once lost had started to come back. She dragged Alastor to a few Quidditch games, though he didnât know what that meant. Honestly, he was just excited to get out of the house. His motherâs belly started growing bigger and Alastor knew something was changing, what he didnât expect was a new brother. The older boy felt a need to protect Jackson from the first moment he laid his eyes on him. Others thought Alastor would be jealous, but he was excited to teach Jackson all the things he had learned.Â
Describe their teenage years (11 - 19):
Although he never knew him, Alastor felt a need to live up to his fatherâs name. One can imagine how horrified he was to be sorted into Gryffindor. And it wasnât easy, rooming with people whose family was affected by his father. Not only did he pay for his fatherâs sins, but also his aunt and uncleâs. During his first few years at Hogwarts, Alastor found himself fending off bullies. The older students would mock him, push him, steal his clothes from the locker rooms and baths, and pull petty pranks. He always thought his father was amazing, so people telling him how cursed his family was, he only got angry. He was even more angry when adults associated with the âLightâ side wouldnât help him. It was then that he realized being a pureblood was a double edged sword.Â
So he went through Hogwarts screeching the word mudblood, resenting muggle borns and half bloods, participating in unauthorized duels, and becoming fascinated with the dark arts. He had a couple of friends that he stuck with, most of them belonging to other houses. It wasnât that Alastor hated muggles, he just didnât see why everyone was so obsessed with them. They were weak to Alastor; they didnât have magic and relied on technology to do everything for them. Alastor didnât want to crush them, he wanted to rule over them. To prove that wizards were superior.Â
Alastorâs 6th year was tricky. The friends he wanted to impress were older than him, half already graduated. The ones left behind didnât take him seriously enough, thinking he couldnât live up to the Lestrange name. He had a handful of friends he spent his time with. It was here that he got high for the first time. He loved feeling as light as air, and for once nothing could touch him. Of course, his older friends only joined him. And by going home to a somewhat empty manor, he could do whatever he wanted.
In Alastorâs 7th year at Hogwarts, he joined the Death Eaters. They were proud of his strength in the dark arts, and his affinity for cruelty and ruthlessness. It was the people who recruited Alastor that suggested he take his skills to the Auror department to fulfill his lust for adrenaline and cursing people. Also, he would be their inside man. Alastor happily applied for the position, giving up his affinity for getting high, and vowing to never let his secret get out.
Describe their adult years (20+):Â
Getting through the Auror ranks was much harder than Alastor anticipated. If he thought getting through Hogwarts was hard with his last name, the hazing he got from his superiors was even worse. His Auror superiors couldnât ignore how skilled he was in dark arts and capitalized it as well. For once, he felt like he belonged. He took the burden of using his dark magic ability to crack safe houses, capture other dark wizards, and identify dark items. Currently, Alastor works with his partner to investigate crimes from the multiple armies and he often covers up Death Eater crimes.Â
While he was working through the Auror ranks, he was working through the Death Eater ranks as well. He often carried off missions that ended in kidnapping and death. His dueling abilities made him the perfect candidate for covert attacks and duels as well. He often throws caution to the wind during missions, not caring if his mask falls off, or if heâs identified. After hiding being a Death Eater for so long, Alastor is tired of it. Heâd rather have everyone know, but he knows that would only make him a target.Â
He is difficult to control, and will often take creative liberty as to how the mission goes, just as long as it was succeeded, heâs satisfied. Heâs a reliable member of the Death Eaters and often thinks of everyone as he family members, since they accepted him and guided him since he was a child. He wants to build his name to be just like his fathers, and have the same reputation as him as well. Heâll just not end up in Azkaban in the end.
