Amanda here, your resident Alecto Carrow among others. I bring news from Amy (Amycus, Sean + Victoria) and myself.
After clearing it with our lovely mod, Hermeh. We've decided to let the Carrows come out and play a bit with the kiddies of Hogwarts.
Here are the ground rules reached by Hermeh, Amy, and myself. -No student is going to undergo anything worse that Crucio and the full Crucio will not even be performed. -Despite the fact that according to DH it occured often, this will not be a frequently acted out occurence. -No one has to be punished by the Carrows unless it's canon (ie: Seamus and Neville have no real option) -All third person thread/log entries will come with the proper amount of warnings so anyone uncomfortable with reading material of a violent/semi-violent nature may skip over it. -You have the option of threading it out with Alecto, Amycus, or both. -You may also discuss the option of only updating a journal entry about it if you think it's appropriate for your character but don't feel comfortable roleplaying out such a thread. -No one will be killed, no one will be brought to near-death.
If you comment this entry because you want some Carrow-un-lovin' we'll get in touch with you when we decide it's appropriate and talk about what you want to do. We'll only be plotting out one occurance at a time because no one wants to read back to back daily entries of this.
Please note when considering submitting your own character's name usually it seems the Carrows found a reason to punish the students, whether they spoke out against them, were non-compliant with their requests, etc. A Slytherin most likely will not be tortured. A pureblood will not be hexed as badly. etc.
