Flora Carrow

## Hestia Carrow

**Flora Carrow** is the twin sister of Hestia Carrow.

## Biography

### Family Lineage

Flora is a member of the Noble House Carrow, a cadet branch of the Ancient and Noble House Selwyn. House Carrow currently sits in the Wizengamot as a vassal of the Selwyns, though it is unknown who currently leads the house.

### Early Life

Flora and her identical twin sister Hestia were born into House Carrow, though their exact relation to Alecto and Amycus Carrow is unknown. Their cousin Cassius Warrington once jokingly asked his father whether Alecto and Amycus were brother-and-sister, husband-and-wife, or both, leading his father to forbid him from ever joking, or even speaking, about such things again.

### Book 3 - The Death Eater Menace

The Carrow twins attend the Selwyn Family Meeting alongside Alecto and Amycus, where Camilla Selwyn tells them to keep an eye on Harry Potter once they are sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts. During the Sorting Ceremony Harry notices Luna Lovegood, a Heliopath, giving the Carrow twins a look of utter revulsion. Harry makes a mental note to ask her about it, but completely forgets about it not long after.

The twins join the Hogwarts Cultural Preservation Society and attend it's first meeting, where they keep a careful eye on Amy Wilkes and Ginny Weasley. When Harry Potter is knocked into a coma following the attack on Hogsmeade on Halloween of 1993 he is visited in his dreams by Luna Lovegood, who tells him that she senses something horrible about the Carrow twins, but always forgets to warn him when she's awake. She reveals that the Carrow twins' nargles and wrackspurts move in perfect synchronity, almost as if they were the same entity commanding two bodies.

The Carrow twins return to Cauchemar Abbey during the Christmas Break, where they refer to the feast as "their first Christmas feast". They are taken down to the Spawning Pool beneath the Abbey by Camilla Selwyn, who kills them to absorb their memories, while remeniscing about how she had once been "a little girl just like Flora and Hestia". The twins are then replaced by two new bodies born from the pods of the Spawning Pool, ready to continue their predecessors' work.

## Physical Description

The Carrow twins apparently never close their eyes, not even when sleeping.

## Personality & Traits

The Carrow twins never seem to operate independently from one another, and Luna Lovegood goes so far as to suggest they are a single mind inhabiting two bodies.

## Magical Abilities & Skills

The Carrow twins are most likely the result of some kind of experiment by the Selwyns. Their dormmates at Hogwarts were haunted in their dreams by a persistent feeling of terrible unease.

## Canon Divergence

Hestia and Flora Carrow both briefly appear in the movie adaptations of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They appear as members of Horace Slughorn's Slug Club but do not have any notable lines.

Neither twin appears in the books, and outside of their names and possibly their physical appearance all aspects of the Carrow twins were invented by the Sinister Man.
