She hates her aunt. Her uncle too.
She didn't always hate them, of course. There was a time when she doted on her 'Aunty Awecto'. The latter too showered her in gifts. However, it is as she grows up that she learns something is wrong. She learns the ways of the Dark Lord that her aunt and uncle follow to the tee, and the people that they are behind their masks. She learns that she never knew them after all, and it very nearly breaks her.
She has never agreed with their ideals to begin with, and she was furious when she found her parents slowly being influenced by them. Even her sister, much to her surprise, starts singing their tunes. It takes a lot of convincing for Hestia to bring Flora back to the girl she knew. Her twin isn't completely convinced that Pureblood Supremacy is not for the better, but it is the best Hestia can do.
Her parents push both children to join the ranks of the Death Eaters once they are out of Hogwarts, thanks in no small part to their aunt. Hestia resists it vehemently while Flora stays indifferent. At the cost of succeeding in her protests, she loses the goodwill of her family. Flora is upset about it initially but their lives move on fast enough for both of them to forget.
News travels fast in the Wizarding World. News of the War travels faster yet. She hears her aunt and uncle teach at Hogwarts under Voldemort, and she sighs at the article. She knows it means absolute torture for those students that defy Voldemort's ideals. She tells Flora she is worried but her sister simply gives her noncommittal mutterings of sympathy.
She will fight the war, she tells herself, when she hears of it looming. She feels guilty, even, for being a part of the family that perpetrated it, and she promises herself she will do what it takes to make it right.
She doesn't expect Flora to follow her to the battlefield. Her sister never cared much for either side of the skirmish. She doesn't expect the green curse to hit Flora in the midst of the duel either. She doesn't expect to find herself kneeling in the middle of the rubble, sobbing over her sister's corpse. It is my fault, she thinks, the single thought running hrough her mind repeatedly.
But most of all, she doesn't expect to find the Death Eater that cast the curse to remove her mask and reveal her identity.
She hates her aunt.
