"Are we really not going to help her?"
Alecto, who had been standing by the window watching Bellatrix leave, withdrew her gaze and turned to her expressionless colleague. Yaxley had successfully taken Lucius's former position and temporarily become the planner of their operations, though she felt he was just as unreliable as Lucius.
