Midnight Hungers[Alecto]

[david]

Under most situations you would never find David up at this ungodly hour. As he slipped back into the school beneath the cloak of shadow. His short hair hidden under his low pulled hood. His fingers holding onto the edge of the leathery cowl to keep it in place. The weather had recently gone from cold numbing snow to blinding rain. Their Lord assured them soon the weather would let up and soon they would be in the position they were looking for. He knew for a fact some of the others were less than pleased with having to sneak out and do this. He had no problems with it he was a Prefect as well. He made sure not to encounter either the Head Boy or Head Girl, his footfall soft and quiet. What he needed right now was a house elf to do his bidding like at home. He made his way down into the Dungeons and into the kitchens with a tap of his wand.

There was no use returning to his dorm rooms there was likely no one there. The care taker rarely slept there he was doing something on the sly for the Dark Lord what David hadn't been told but than there wasn't alot of others being told what was going on with who. Well one of the older Death Eaters was getting married that much David knew, and he planned to make sure he at least had a fantastic wedding, he was his friend after all regardless of his blood. It had also been David's nature to look after the first years since he'd arrived at Hogwarts. Of course David also had the first years looking after him in turn. Considering he was handsome, wealthy and from a noble blooded family. He had enough issues with girls tossing themselves at him. Lately he'd noticed Alecto in a different light. Of course he was always polite to her before she was a Carrow, another well respected family. However, he needed to start making his plans before he was out of school completely.

Like the young brown haired David himself slipped along the wall where he could easily disappear into the shadows of one of the towering landmarks of the castle. He didn't get caught often and certainly not tonight. Still there was a tell tale trail of water on the ground behind him from where his cloak had swept behind him, so naturally his lack of stealth showed. He just didn't notice it. The kitchens were already alight when he reach the kitchens, having dispersed with the pear on the canvas and slipped in completely. His lips set as he started to call for a House elf, but the Kitchens were huge and he was well aware of the presence of another he wasn't sure whom else might be in there with him until he stepped further into the Kitchen. "Hot tea." he ordered when the House elf appeared giving it a sneer as he took took the cup. The whole castle was infested with the filthy things. Obiously David Val'Lauren saw no reason for them other than servants.

He swept his hood back so that they could see who it was. Dropping the soaking mess into the arms(and ontop) of the unfortunate House Elf that had brought him tea. "Place it in my things." he commanded. Than made his way to where Alecto was sitting at the table. "Good evening Alecto." he said proving that he did in fact know who she was rather than Miss.Carrow. "How do you fare this lovely and wet." he made a face. "Evening ?" motioning to the outside. "Seems the snow will have reinforcements by morning and it will be quiet icy, if it does not out right melt the snow." he fancied her with a smile. "Though enough of that, may I join you ?" He asked holding up his tea cup and inclining his head to the table near her. That ever present charming smile on his face. Though for Alecto his smile actually reach his eyes and sparkled there brightly. A sigh of affection for Val'Lauren at least.

[alecto mileena carrow]

Alecto Carrow woke up with a shriek. She sat upstraight in bed, her hand holding on to the wound. It was stinging like mad again, as if the spider had put his claws back into her side. She'd been so lucky on that cold evening in January when an Acromentula had come across her and Sirius Black in the forbidden forest. She'd freaked out, and fainted, something she rarely did, and when she had awoken, she'd seen the large cut in her abdomen. The spider's paw had cut directly through her flesh, if it hadn't been for Sirius, the wound would be much more serious.

He had healed it to the best of his abilities, and from the exterior the only thing that could still show you the outline of the accident was a tiny white scar. But inside, there was still poison that he hadn't managed to get out. She'd gone to St. Mungo's only a few hours ago to get some antidote. Of course, the doctors there wanted to know how the heck she had gotten infected with a poison like that, and of course Lecto had made up a lie so that neither her, nor Sirius would be in too bad trouble. She already had some detentions going, but that would be nothing compared to when someone would find out that Alecto Carrow and Sirius Black had been together in the forbidden forest, not to mention that they had slept together after Sirius had rescued her, both too numb from the shock, trying to find some serenity in their lives.

She stood up from her bed, grabbed a sweater to put above her tiny pj-bottoms. Upon her night stand, the pills to help the wound relax were still laying untouched. She didn't like to take pills, she'd seen what had happened when her grandmother had gotten addicted to it after her grandfather's death and she'd discovered that he'd been cheating on her for years. The woman had waisted away into nothing. She didn't want that. But it was stinging too much, as if a spider from the inside wanted to get out. Holding her hand to her scar, she took the pills and went toward the kitchens of Hogwarts.

She had a perfect reason to be here, really. She needed something to drink with the pills, on the doctor's prescription. They were too strong for an empty stomach, so she needed to get herself something to drink and eat. If she took them, she wasn't allowed to fly on her broom, cause the pills could mess up her balance too much. Heck, lucky she didn't have Quidditch practice in the morning, Adrian would go berserk when he found out Alecto couldn't practice. But normally, the pills would have stopped working by noon, so she should be okay to go to classes...

Ordering some Chamomile Tea and a large piece of chocolate cake - hey she loved her chocolate, and she would run off the calories later when her balance was back - she sat down at a table, put some sugar in her tea and took the pill. It started working almost immediately as it was into her stomach. She could breath normally again, the wound didn't sting so much and she felt slightly dizzy. She took another sip and with that she saw David Val' Lauren enter. So yes, she knew him. Everybody of a noble pureblood family was well known to her, her father had made sure of that before he stopped giving a damn about her. He came over to her table and she nodded her head to incline he could sit down. He was charming, that was a fact...

She smiled, the pills had done enough to keep her from bending over double in pain. "Of course, I fare well, David.", she answered him. Heck, if she told him she was in some serious pain he would want to know the story and there was no way in hell he would believe her 'fell of my broom when practicing in the dark'-lie. He knew she was a great Quidditch player, and that she would never ever do something as stupid as fall of her broom. "Out late? Didn't get caught I might hope? Half of the slytherins will go berserk if we loose even more points and let Gryffindor have the housecup this year."she said with a sly smile.
