Alecto really wished she didn't have to change her appearance, part of the fear that she gave people came from her appearance. She didn't care if the students made fun of her "stout" figure, she knew how to wear it well. Now? Well, now she didn't look as much as a large hulking mass, she looked deceptively demure and poised. However, no matter how much different she looked, that didn't change her mindset. While the Dark Lord was dead and gone, she knew she had to keep His wishes alive. It was just a matter of time before the Dark Arts would rise again, it was only a matter of time before she could strike with a force that would shake the very core of the Wizarding World. When the Dark Lord was alive they had to do things according to his guidance and wishes, with the Dark Lord dead, she could go through with his plans her way. Just because Voldemort was dead, it didn't mean his beliefs and morals were dead. No matter how much the Ministry tried to extinguish all that the Death Eaters have done, there was still the sole fact that all those Death Eaters who were truthfully loyal to the cause and alive still believed in those ways. If Bellatrix and Rodolphus were alive they would be ashamed of what the Wizarding World has become, and what those who have once been allies to the Dark Lord have become.
Alecto planned on not letting their deaths be in vain. She had plans, it was just a matter of time and now that another one of her close comrades has returned, she knew those plans were to soon come into fruition. With Alecto's appearance changed it was just going to make it easier to go through with her plans, she just had to convince the two closest men in her life to change their appearances as well. After all, just across the alley in Knockturn Alley was a shop that specialized in that. If they weren't willing to take some polyjuice potion, she was going to force them all to go to that shop. Under her alias of Allison Karras she was on... somewhat good terms with the other patrons of Knockturn Alley. At least as Allison Karras she didn't demand attention that might prove ill wanted.
"It's..." Purring softly towards him, a finger traced along his cheek, "magic." Giggling, the spiders were becoming increasingly loud and anxious. Obviously hungry and craving permission to leave, Alecto growled under her breath as she slipped out of Rabastan's grasp and moved towards the counter. "All right, bloody hell." Blowing out the candles, the store was suddenly plunged into complete and utter darkness. The sounds only increased, as Alecto navigated her way through the store and towards a leaver that was near the front of the shop. A loud click sounded as a series of windows on the roof simultaneously opened and the cool night air swept through the entire store. Scampering was heard next as thousands of spiders poured out into the night, ready to kill and feed. Smirking broadly, the windows closed as the last of the hunting spiders left. Flicking her wand towards the candles on the counter, they once more ignited and filled the room in a dim candle light.
"I've been promising them a feed for the past few days. I find them easier to handle when I can control their every want and need." Smirking slyly towards Rabastan, she stepped up behind him and traced her nails across his shoulder and down his neck. "You know, rabbit, with you back we can finally get to work about cleaning up all the mud that continuously floods our wizarding world." Arching a finely sculpted brow, she rounded him to face him, those dark eyes searching his own dark green stare.
"Why did you leave? There was so much that could have been done in the past five years. A better question is why did you come back? I thought you wouldn't come back after -- well, after everything." There was a hint of sadness in her voice. She was certainly hurt that he left the way he did, without a word or a goodbye. Just up and left her and her brother. While Alecto would never complain about being left with Amycus - he was her best friend, and her dearest companion - it did hurt... a little. They were a minority now, they weren't sitting high anymore and to have one of them just leave? Well, it wasn't very nice.
