Alecto Carrow. Slytherin Alum. Twenty Two Death Eater.

A proud smirk remains on her face, thinking of those times she had enhanced her technique with the Cruciatus curse, sometimes even getting her hands dirty. “That might be true.” Folding the newspaper and taking the time to rest her eyes on Alecto, she advances. “What brings you to me, my dear Alecto?”

“Bella, dear, maybe try not to look so pleased while we’re in public. I’ve just brought these robes and I would hate to ruin them dueling some idiots who disagree.” Alecto looked down at her sleeve and picked at some imaginary lint. “Nothing in particular, don’t worry. I was hoping to hear who is putting themselves forward.”

“I’d hate to disappoint. Always working to preserve my legacy.” The words slipped through her lips as she grit her teeth a little. “Someone really has your brain washed. It’s sad, that you can’t understand how much of an impact  love from your community can do. Since you have no interest, can I have my journal back please?” 

“Oh, you think you have a legacy? How cute.” Alecto’s lip curled up in distaste, her tone dripped with contempt. “I think out of the two of us, you are clearly the one who is brain washed. No, that can’t be right, it would mean that someone actually would waste their time on you. You cannot be that foolish to believe all that trife.” Instead of passing the journal back, she let it drop from her fingers to the floor.

“Twice in two days, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

mary-macdonald​:

“It’s nothing, just some sketches and odd word clouds of ideas. The only one in there that’s even half fleshed out is the support group. Thought about starting one that met out of the Cauldron.”

“Well isn’t that just delightful. You haven’t changed in the slightest. Still dull and boring I see. Oh and of course, delusional if you think that you would be able to help anyone.”

[slythercarrow]

sadisticblack​:

“I wonder——” She trails off, lost in the dark schemes that run through her mind almost constantly. “How much can the human body really take.” She seemed deranged, a wicked smirk painted on her lips. At the gaze of someone, she laughs it off and points to the newspaper on her hands. “This poor family, it was a tragedy what happened.”

“I feel like if anyone knew the answer to that question, it would be you Black.” Alecto smirked knowing that her fellow Slythrin Alum was just as sadistic and dark as her own family, except Alecto sometimes found herself wondering if Bellatrix was more deranged. “Tragedy indeed.”

zxbini​:

“I’d rather advise than lead, given the opportunity. And I don’t feel I have all that much experience in the field.” He said. Honestly leading a revolution was a lot more difficult than you’d think. He had his opinions, but in practice, he couldn’t imagine he’d be the best person for the job. “Plus, it would add more competition and ensure we don’t get things done for even longer.” 

“Oh, yes, because your contenders have plenty experience. Though I will say, you seem to have one thing they don’t, brains.” He spoke the most sense out of all imbeciles that were so sure they were the best candidate for leadership. Zabini actually seemed a lot smarter than she had first  perceived him to be in school. “Are you sure that you couldn’t be persuaded.”

marina--williams​:

“It’s a difficult choice…” Marina said, with a shrug. “I guess I can’t really decide until I know everyone who’s running.” 

“Well I don’t know if he’s running but personally I think Zabini would be a good candidate.” Thoughts were already running through Alecto’s head of how best to manipulate the situation in order for it to work in her favour and the outcome to go her way.

Task 001: Under the cut there are a few questions that you can answer to help you flesh out some ideas and/or develop your characters further.

1. What was your upbringing like?

Like any other pureblood childhood. Well any of the elite, that is. Privileged. 

2. What is your relationship with your family?

What a peculiar question. Why the interest? Do I ask you about your family? I mean I have no intention of listening to you either way.

3. What’s your view on blood status?

Everything. I think there should be someway of knowing those who are beneath us.

4. What’s your wish for the future?

What do you think? To be rid of all these mudbloods and for purebloods to remain supreme.

6. What is your Patronus?

A wolf.

7. What does Amortentia smell like to you?

Gold. Firewhisky and Madam Malkins fine new robes.

8. What is your Boggart?

That is definitely none of your business.

zxbini​:

“It isn’t exactly being smart if we’re not gathering our resources and instead letting people do what they like.” Before the Dark Lord’s disappearance, they’d had a reasonable position. Now, he didn’t think that was as much the case. “I’m not saying you outright claim your allegiance, but being civil with people who don’t matter in the grand scheme of things is a little far.”

“It sounds like you’ve got this all figured out, so tell me why exactly haven’t you put yourself forward for leadership.”  He wouldn’t have been the worst candidate, she might have even considered voting for him.

[slythercarrow]

marina--williams​:

“I don’t think anything of the sort. Frankly I’m not made to be a leader, but I do know who I’d like to take orders from. Bellatrix is not one of them.”

“So in that case, who would your vote go to?” That wasn’t to say that Alecto was definitely going to put herself forward for leadership, instead the curiosity got the better of her. 

[slythercarrow]

marina--williams​:

“Okay- I’ve got to admit that out of of you and Bellatrix, you are the better choice.” 

“Oh lovely, I can just feel the sincerity in your words. I’m flattered Marina, you say the sweetest words and your faith in me is outstanding.” A scoff fell from her lips. “You really think that you would be able to do a better job?” 

[slythercarrow]

zxbini​:

Mathias stopped as Alecto began speaking, folding his arms in front of his chest. “Why bother being civil?” He asked, raising his brow as he addressed her. “There’s no need these days, they’ll all have died out by the end of the war. Might as well not waste your time.” 

“It’s called being smart Zabini, we don’t exactly have as much power at the moment with the Dark Lord missing and his followers without leadership.” Alecto glanced down at her nails to inspect them, as if bored with the conversation already. “Of course, the other side aren’t much better but they’re better at blending in and hiding to protect themselves. I don’t know about you but I would rather not end up being imprisoned or dead.”

[slythercarrow]

marina--williams​:

“You know, just because you believe you should replace the Dark Lord, doesn’t mean you’re right.” 

“What, you’d rather Black take it? Oh please, Williams, you cannot be that stupid.”

“𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙸𝚂 𝙴𝙵𝙵𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙸𝚅𝙴𝙻𝚈 𝙳𝙰𝚈𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 𝚁𝙾𝙱𝙱𝙴𝚁𝚈."   lily scrunched up her nose and crossed her arms over her chest.   she didn’t even keep her voice down.   the apothecary could try swindle those of them without inner knowledge of the business out of a few extra galleons, sure, but lily knew better.   “they’re being sold for half the price down the street!” 

“Why don’t you mind your business? I don’t recall ever asking you to be a participate in this conversation.” Alecto’s lip curled up in disgust as she all but snarled at the witch. “Does it honestly look like I want your opinion?”

[slythercarrow]

“     The lack of intelligence around here is starting to worry me.” Alecto mused, her eyebrows fusing together to support her feigning concern, “How are we supposed to be a future thriving generation, when we are a dying breed? I sure have my work cut out for me when it comes to being civil with these brainless mudbloods. “
