Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Notes: First attempt at real fanfiction. Been rping Alecto Carrow for many years opposite a certain Rabastan Lestrange. The two have always been close friends, since the beginning. I felt as if it was time to finally write the end of their story.
A few days later, she bravely made her way to the nearest town in search of any mutterings from any Wizarding folk, or a chance to get herself a copy of The Prophet. She did her best to mingle. What is it those muggles say, ‘hiding in plain sight’? A copy of the Prophet seemed to be easier then she had expected.
The list of the dead was long and painful to read, but she read on. With a sigh of relief, she looked away. Rook and Rab were both not on it. Reading her brothers name was hard, and she had stared at it for a moment, remembering, before she had continued. She resumed her search over the wanted section. It was bold and big. Alecto Carrow, Augustus Rookwood, Rodolphus Lestrange, and Rabastan Lestrange, still at large, and dangerous. What surprised her though was the small article about her and what she had done for those Slytherin brats. She laughed to herself as she read how she had protected them and kept them from harm. In the end it would not save her though. What truly astounded her was the fact the Malfoy’s had been forgiven of their crimes, and so had Severus, even though she read that he was dead as well. How could that be? They had all done what they had too in order to survive once ‘he’ returned. Wasn’t that worth forgiving as well?
At least if Rab or Rook had seen this, they would know she was out there somewhere. There was others that she had known that was on the wanted list, and still others that were not on either list. Perhaps the Ministry was not yet aware of their involvement. Were they out there, hurt and lost? Then the idea came to her. It would be a risky one, for she could be found out if the wrong person got ears of what she was doing, well going to do.
There was this woman, this healer that Ro had spoken to her about. If she was ever in need, she could be trusted. Though she trusted no one, especially now, it was the only thing to do. She would reach out to her, and have her come to the secluded house. Have her send the word out to those lost or hurt to come to her there. Perhaps Rab or Rook would hear of it somehow, for she knew Rab had to know of her. Perhaps they were together? Rook would never leave him behind if he could not help it. Never. He could even be dead, like Ro was now. No. She was not going to think that. She knew they had to be still alive. It was the only thing that kept her going.
Yet there was still one person she had to reach out to as well. That was going to be an even bigger risk. Andromeda.
