Who: Rodolphus Lestrange and Alecto Carrow What: A discussion of her games Where: The Death Eater Safehouse When: backdated to Friday Rating: high.
How to deal with a problem like Alecto Carrow. Her sanity had already been questionable prior to being separated from her brother and locked away again. She had been loyal enough to the Dark Lord, or perhaps afraid enough of Snape, to restrain herself as a teacher - but now she was freed from those chains and so, so hungry to inflict pain. Rodolphus admired it. But he couldn't use it if she couldn't be controlled, and without Amycus, controlling Alecto was difficult. If she was going to kill seemingly at random, she could not be trusted, regardless of her loyalties.
He would have to teach her restraint, or reward it...
With a flick of his wand, the door opened as soon as she knocked. Rodolphus stood in the centre of the room, the fire blazing behind him. The furniture that usually circled the fireplace was pushed back against the walls, leaving them plenty of open space on the deep red carpet. "Alecto," He said, "Close the door behind you."
