Alecto and Amycus Carrow are brother and sister. They are also both Death Eaters who are very loyal to Lord Voldemort. After the latter's first incredible defeat at the hands of Harry Potter, which marked the end of the First Wizarding War, they were both among those who didn't search for Voldemort, believing that that he was gone forever. They also both managed to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban.
Following Voldemort's rebirth, which Alecto and Amycus most likely participated in, they continued to serve their true master again. Alecto was made the new teacher of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts from 1997 to 1998 while Severus Snape served as Headmaster during that school year, and Amycus was appointed Professor of the Dark Arts class, (formerly Defence Against the Dark Arts). They also both participated in the Battle of Hogwarts. Alecto, while searching for Harry Potter, who was searching for Voldemort's Horcruxes in the Ravenclaw common room, was stunned by Ravenclaw student Luna Lovegood. After spitting right in the face of Professor Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter knocked Amycus out with the Cruciatus Curse. Alecto and Amycus were tied up.
At the end of the Second Wizarding War, following Harry's final defeat of Voldemort, the Carrow siblings were, most likely, imprisoned in Azkaban.
