    Open to anyone at "Fort Lestrange"

    Isidore was quite pleased to have been invited to the Lestrange estate with Lucius and his non-infected family. He hoped to one day call Lucius family -- ideally by wedding Artemisia to Claudius, although now that Lucius was free he would quite happily wed his daughter to his friend -- but for the moment he was content with his friend-status that allowed him to be free from the plague-ridden village of Hogsmeade.

    He was in one of the halls at the moment, inspecting an old tapestry with a great deal of appreciation. It really was a lovely place, and Isidore thought he could quite contentedly stay there until the danger from the plague had passed.

    Seneca had been a bit skeptical about the Carrows being invited at the manor at first - not that she ever showed it. She had thought that it’d be a lovely summer with just her, Papa and Cassius (oh and her sister and William) and then they came. But she didn’t mind them now. Miss Artemisia was very pretty and nice and a Slytherin and Seneca liked her a lot.

    She had been looking for Miss Artemisia that afternoon, but she found her father instead. She had been a bit absent minded while walking, so she was only slightly startled to see Mr. Carrow. She smiled to him demurely, like her governess had taught her and curtsied. “Good afternoon Mr. Carrow!” she greeted. “I hope I did not disturb you?” Hazel eyes moved to the tapestry the man seemed to be looking at.

    "Not at all, Miss Lestrange," Isidore said fondly. He was quite pleased to be around Lucius and his children, and he very much hoped to be able to secure a place in the Lestrange family for his daughter. Missy would be a perfect Lestrange.

    "Do you know anything about this tapestry?" he asked. It was a hunting scene, but he didn't know anything about its history.

    Seneca could not believe that she had been initially upset about the Carrows coming. They were all so lovely! Miss Artemisia was one of the most graceful girls she had ever met and Mr. Isidore was very nice, without being like cousin Priam (who Seneca liked but had to admit that was one of the most soft-hearted members of the family).

    “It belonged to my great great great grandfather, Mr. Arden Lestrange,” she explained, remembering being told about it two summers ago. “It’s a fine example of a Flemish tapestry. I believe it dates towards the end of the seventeenth century.” It was probably a wedding gift, although Seneca didn’t know exactly when he got married.
