Ellory bit her lower lip to keep herself from laughing. Antigone couldn't say anything against that, because it was the truth! She was married to a mass murderer's son and she had failed the one task of giving birth to a boy.

It was all fun and games, until Antigone grabbed her by the hand and started dragging her away. At first, Ellory felt alarmed, the sensation rung too close to home to that time she used the Cruciatus Curse on her. Then, adrenaline kicked in and Ellory suddenly felt ready to fight, if need be.

"Yes," Ellory replied. Her other hand slid in the pocket where she kept her wand. She didn't take her wand out yet, but she would be ready if Antigone tried anything. "Do you want me to show you around, Antigone? I did grow up here, with my cousins." Why was she saying that? Oh, to further provoke Antigone, of course.
