So Raz is worried for the future. I'd speculate he and Rory are planning to start a family. He seems pretty disaffected with the powers that be. And I'd take his crossings out as confirmation that Blaise was made to have his stepfather killed.
I kept reading that and thinking he was talking about Teddy, for some reason, but now that I correctly read it as Blaise, I think you might be right :/
(Or, at any rate, that Raz thinks it's so, but he'd have reason to know.)
This is something that makes me sad about Alternity: in canon Raz was (with justification) imprisoned for his various crimes, and if (when, I hope when!) the Order succeeds in overthrowing Voldemort Raz will certainly need to stand trial.
But Sinistra is happy with him, and if they have a baby by then the baby will know him as Daddy, not as a monster :(
(Kind of the same thing with Barty Crouch: I can't really feel bad for anything bad that happens to him, but Dolohov would be so sad if his adopted son was executed... and then there's Dolohov himself, for whom I can't imagine the Order feeling sympathy...)
I'm sort of hoping Raz will in his loyalty to Harry, and his apparently genuine change in priorities, make the choice to support the revolution when it comes. If he survives, that would give the order an excuse to show leniency in his case. Maybe community service at Hogwarts, and house arrest?
Antonin, will protect the children at Hogwarts unless it directly conflicts with his service. And even then he considers the LP has ordered him to look after those children so will cover for them in a lot of cases. I can't see him living though this. Maybe he will protect Justin with his death which I think he'd see as a reasonable choice. Sadly Barty is a lost cause. A product of the wrong type of influences, he must have redeeming features but I can't see it.
Yes, but she apparently finds Lucius attractive too. So I'm not sure that is any recommendation. There is some sort of pathological condition where women like powerful and dangerous men, isn't there?
I think we were both being generous in assuming Narcissa would need more than just pretty to attract her, and wondering what positive traits she sees. But you are probably right and she is as shallow and superficial as her talk of fashion would suggest.
