Alecto

The witch caught sight of Rabastan from the corner of her eyes and felt a smile pull on her lips. "I do think so." There were times she knew that without her friendship with him, she might not be where she is today, especially with her first book. "I must admit, I am inclined to leave soon. Not much has caught my attention."

Alecto followed her gaze, and smirked a little. "Hard not to be." She glanced back at her friend, the smirk still on her lips. She knew this topic of conversation would do nothing for Rabastan's ego. But it was fun anyway. "Nor me. Such a shame. I'd have thought the Malfoys would've thrown a better party"

"My goal is to ignore my parents for the rest of the night, now that my date is aware that he will be leaving alone." Another show of her parents interfering. Sinistra knew how great of company Rabastan was, considering their friendship and the time they'd spend doing things normal friends would not. "One of the best, though I could be biased again." Her eyes scan until they find him, chatting with a wizard.

Alecto just laughed, rolling her eyes. "Sounds like my plan too darling." Not that her parents had given her that much attention. But, she would rather not need to interact with them. If she could also avoid Mrs Lestrange too, it would be good. She laughed again, following her gaze over to Rabastan. "I think we are okay to be biased."

"There you go, flattering me, I do appreciate it." A seductive smirk on her lips. "You must tell me how we can make this a little more enjoyable? I'm rather tired of older wizards hitting on me." None that she found attractive. "You and Rabastan. Anything I should know?" She noticed that the two of them came together.

"I like flattering my favourite people." Of course, she could only really count her favourite people on one hand, but she genuinely did think Sinistra was on the list. "Oh trust me it is the worst. I thought coming with Rabastan would stop it, but apparently not." And she hated it so much. If only she could punch them like she wanted to. "Oh no." She mused with a little laugh. "Nothing serious anyway." She murmured, with a little flirty smirk on her face. "He's good company though"

Taking the glass from Alecto, he looked over her shoulder to where his parents were standing, deep in conversation with some relatives. His mother's eyes did indeed drift to his, meeting them slyly before turning away again.

"You're correct," he told her, arching an eyebrow and darkly laughing. "So if you don't want to hear the whisper of wedding bells on your horizon, I suggest you do something reckless. Set the curtains on fire. Explode a peacock, perhaps."

"Reckless. You know me too well." Alecto murmured, rolling her eyes as she took a sip of her champagne. She would have considered it if she didn't want to not ruin Narcissa's wedding. Whilst she didn't really care about the blonde, she did care about Bellatrix, and so did not want to annoy her mentor. And so that involved not annoying her sister. "Those peacocks are bloody annoying."

The ceremony was beautiful and she wasn't going to complain about the reception. All that mattered to the witch was free alcohol for the night. She was expecting the Black and Malfoy's to go all out and they didn't disappoint. Sinistra caught sight of the redhead, making her way over.

"You look stunning." She was surprised to see the number of people dressed in black, but the witch did look beautiful in her dress. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Sin. my darling." Alecto murmured with a big smile. She let her eyes drop, checking out the other woman, before returning her gaze to the witch's face. "You do too dear. And Im enjoying myself a lot more now that you are here"

"Since you asked so nicely." She murmured with a laugh. There was only a few people that she would actually get onto the floor with, but Micah had always been one of those people. But Alecto was one that always looked after her friends. There were not many people she let in, but she did like to treat the ones she did let in. it also meant that they would come back and spend time in her bar. That was everything. To have Delirium be successful meant the world to her. Especially when so many people didn't think she had it in her.

Antonin's body shifts to stand squarely in front of the redhead, head cocked to the side and an amused expression tinged on his features. "I'm a fuckin' delight." His smirk grows wider. "You've never complained before, Alecto." A wink in her direction, azure hues glancing her over, appreciating her sight. "Curious to find you roaming this alley."

"Always a first time for everything Antonin." She mused, still smirking. She had no intentions of complaining though. After all, he had never left her unsatisfied. Not as of yet. "is it so?" She mused with a laugh. "i do venture out of Knockturn alley every so often"

If Sinistra did not want the company of the other, she would have declined her presence on the other side, the caffeine flowing through her veins giving her energy to deal with people. "Alecto," she folds up her work, tucking it away in her designer bag. "You are doing well?"

Alecto knew that if the other hadn't really wanted her company she would have said, so there was a little smile on her face as she sat down. Sometimes it was easier to not have to make sassy come backs for once. "i am always doing well." She murmured with a smile. "How are you?"

She wasn't surprised with where Micah went and tucked them self. They did the same every time they came. To the point that Alecto mostly made sure there was at least one table free where they could. Abandoning the bar, after getting them both a drink, she made her way over to where he was.

It was rare to get sunshine in London, leading the author to find herself sat at one of the cafe's on the outside patio. Parchment in front of her and a quill in hand, she started to write down her thoughts, adding more to her book that was in the works. This would be one of her best ones, easily selling out more than the first did.

It was a shadow that cast in front of her that caught her attention. "You are blocking my sunshine." She spoke bluntly, shifting her gaze up to discover who would do such a crime.

"I'm saving you from sun burn." She teased with a little smirk, before she sat herself down opposite the other woman. "Hello Sinistra"

Antonin had a few errands to run, getting out of work, that it allowed him to clear his mind. A stoic expression remained fixated on his features, his thoughts drifting to having his best friend back, yet with him there, it was a reminder of what they had still lost. The Dark Lord had to be in hiding, gathering his strength before making his return, because the disgust still remained, those contaminated wandering the streets.

A shoulder bumped into him, causing him to turn. "You should watch where you are going." He half growled, his annoyance level rising.

Bumping shoulders with someone else, did not add to it either. "Maybe you should too." She shot back at the person, before realising who it was. "A joy to see as always then Antonin"
