Rounding a corner, he found the girl standing by a window in an empty hall, watching the courtyard below. Without speaking he held up money to her; the girl glanced between it and Mulciber’s face before taking it. She counted it out quickly and reached into her robe, handing him a folded envelope before stuffing the money into her pocket and quickly leaving. 

Mulciber stood there and watched the girl go, opening the envelope to look at the little baggies of cocaine inside. He frowned at another bag of pills he didn’t initially recognize within the envelope. Eh, if he didn’t like them, he’d give them to Amycus. Dropping it all back in he sealed the envelope and put it into his pocket. Looking up and over his shoulder he saw a girl standing at the the end of the hall. 

Shite. He kept a vacant expression and quickly approached the girl, frowning down at little Narcissa Black. Looking over her face for a few moments, he could only be sure she’d seen at least part of the exchange.  “You know, it’s considered rude to stalk people, Narcissa.” 

Leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest, Alecto stares down at one of her fingernails as she waits. Admiring the dark scarlet that covers them, she waits impatiently for the door nearest to open. Amycus and Rabastan had done well with their evidence, though every word of it had dripped with lies. She knew that Cassius would be out of detention soon and so she waited. The sound of the door opening rouses her and a grin spreads on her lips. “Detention for week. Could be much worse.” She pushes herself off the wall as she crosses the space slightly to stand in front of Cassius. “Do they have you sitting at a desk for hours or are you the unfortunate recipient of monotonous work?”

Walking through the halls, Alecto holds the book in her arms close to her chest. After recent events, she was surprised how everyone has turned to normalcy just a few days after. They would rather ignore another terrible event at Hogwarts further proving that the castle is no safe haven. Ignorance is bliss as they say and they would rather ignore past events than think too much on them. Already she hopes for something new and even worse to break the fog around their eyes. Rounding a corner she nearly runs into another figure and there is a small sneer on her lips as she looks at them. Mckinnon. “In another drunken stupor this early in the day Mckinnon? Honestly I’m impressed. You must be going for a new record, what’s next, drinking at nine in the morning, spiking your pumpkin juice?” Alecto smirks at the other girl.

There was a heavy sigh that escaped scarlet lips as she dropped the quill between her fingers. Looking down at the book in front of her, another disgruntled sound emerged this time to alert her companion across from her to her presence. Alecto had agreed to studying with Helena but hours had already passed and as much as she knew she needed to study, she had become increasingly bored and the words on the pages of the books turned to nonsense. Alecto rested her elbows against the table as she her eyes gazed at the Slytherin head girl. “Helena.” She said softly but with a twinge of whine in her voice. “It’s been hours since we started and I am terribly bored. My attention span cannot handle this right now.” She wasn’t above pouting when it came to certain people.
