Who: Astoria Greengrass and Alecto Carrow
Where: At the Greengrass Estate
When: Backdated! Saturday at 7
What: Astoria and Alecto must talk
Rating: Lowish - Alecto will talk of torture and death

Especially when it had to do with her nieces or something with family. Amycus had whined about not being able to go due to several students having detention. She promised that him a gift of liquor and discussion afterwards. Perhaps a little something stronger than that. It was after their conversation that she grabbed her wand and decided against the dark green robes that she was typically found in on school grounds.

Floo was the best way to travel for now. Hogwarts had it opened to the teachers, and Alecto took advantage of that situation. After calling out her destination, she stepped out of the fireplace and called for a house elf. "Make the parents know that they are not to disturb Astoria and I. Is the tea ready? Good." The elf lead her through the house with no complications. That was good. There was no way she would be able to stand the sight of either of them. Alecto was tired of her older family. They proved to be useless in her book, and as a ruthless woman, those who were useless were pushed to the side.

Alecto waited to meet her niece. Two minutes early, Astoria would have to be on time or Alecto wouldn't do anything with or for the younger girl.

Once Alecto started to make her tea, Astoria followed suit. It felt a bit odd to be sitting across from her aunt having the conversation they were having, especially at tea, like it was just another everyday occurrence. "I do, Aunt Alecto. I have realized my mistakes. There are about four months worth of them, they were bound to make me snap at one point or another. However, my actions are inexcusable. I would never turn my back on my family and you can rest assured, I have no plans on supporting the mudbloods like the traitors out there. I am greatful to see I have another family member who would be willing to stand against Mum. It took my father nineteen years to do that very thing." Astoria was nervous to say the least, and like all other times in her life when she should just stifle herself, Astoria couldn't keep herself quiet.

"As far as I am concerned another drop of alcohol shall never pass these lips again. I seem to have trouble controlling myself when I drink, nor do I know what my limit is. So, it would be for the best if there were none at all." Astoria sipped at her tea before continuing. "I thank you, Aunt Alecto, for having the confidence in me to not turn me away. It means a lot that you feel I still have a chance at standing among the Dark Lord's ranks."

Wasn't it a normal, everyday occurrence? She remembered being Astoria's age and drinking tea whilst Amycus and her plotted their next kidnapping or torture. Different times? Alecto was partially saddened that the younger generation wasn't nearly as active as they were during the first War. "I am so very glad to hear that Astoria. You seem to be maturing into a fine young woman if you are able to understand your mistakes. I just wish you had been able to do so before all of this was brought up. Out of curiosity, my dear, was it only you that understand these mistakes?" Of course Alecto was fishing to find out more information on the younger Malfoy, but she would have to wait and see. "Your mother is a very interesting creature. She has no power over your uncle and I, so we would happily stand against her." And how she wished her mother could hear that.

"Even better. It is unladylike to exceed your limit, so it's much better not to even push the boundaries." Alecto nodded her head as she brought the cup back up to her lips. "You have Carrow blood in you, we have always been in the ranks of our Lord. I was hoping you and your sister could follow this honourable tradition." Astoria could prove useful within the ranks. There was a sweetness that could be exploited, and Alecto was interested in doing just that.
