It didn’t take long for Mercy to find Alecto on the Platform, people were already beginning to filter back into Muggle London and Pureblood families had a way of bonding together during times like these. In large crowds, it was almost a networking opportunity. She felt sure that was exactly how her daddy was spending the time. Glancing back to the barriers she had left her parents standing beside, she could see them deep in conversation with a Pureblood couple she recognised and laughed quietly to herself. No doubt a sale was being pitched and no doubt she would be receiving something beautiful, shiny, and expensive in the post as a result. Waving briefly at her mother, she turned back to Aly, a smile already lighting up her face. As far as she was concerned, there was nobody like Alecto Carrow. She was cool and calculating, so incredibly smart. When it came to getting what she wanted from her parents and brother, Alecto had taught her exactly when to bat her eyelashes, exactly how to word her sentences for maximum impact. The moment she was near the girl she pulled her into a hug, only stepping back when she felt the curls in her hair become crushed against her friend’s shoulder. She ruffled them gently, ensuring they were still perfectly in place. “I’m so happy you’re here! I found a new dress last night and I can’t wait for you to see it! You’re going to love it, Aly! It’s beautiful!” @implacablecarrow
