She was exhausted and falling asleep against the tree didn't help matters. All she wanted was the freedom to go on a walk along the water to clear her mind. Why was that too much to ask for? Evidently, they needed to have a better system put in place so that never happened again. Or, even better, they could just find somewhere else to be. Since Alecto started making her trips there it hadn't felt like a place she wanted to linger long in. Antonin and Augustus should have figured out a way to get a warning to her. He could've also just taken the wretched slag straight to his bedroom. If her ex-lover put in half as much effort with Alecto as he used to with her, Alecto would've been too distracted to hear the front door open. That could've given Antonin enough time to slip out of the secret staircase and pull her upstairs. But, no, Augustus had to just keep on with his filthy actions right there where everyone could see it. Merlin save her from horny wizards thinking about nothing beyond their own cocks!
