They are a clever pair, manipulating their parents like that, they were made for each other.

Brilliant - wonderful family dynamics and revelations; Narcissa's parents are so very clear, so precise. Breathless about the intriguing scene with Abraxas, as well as Lucius' letter and what 'he had said' to her before - simple, direct, powerful!  

I liked reading this- how the Malfoys could appreciate Narcissa for the clever girl she is, and how Andromeda's leaving was seen by her sister less of a casting-out and more of an abandoment.  If I'd been left with those people, I'd want to be taken along too!  And when Lucius comes along, all suave and handsome and 'nouveau riche' -the horror! the rebellion!- it's easy to see how she fell for him.

I do like this story - it's so well-written, and your characters are very credible.  It's very typical that Luciuswould be a jump ahead of his plotting parent, and asfor Narcissa - how delightful to discover that she has adefinite personality apart from just being a Death Eaterwife.

This was a delightful read! I adore Narcissa's voice in this piece -- restrained and proper but brimming with rebellion and hope. I'm eagerly anticipating your next chapter.

Great work!

wow - wonderfully spun tale!  Thank you for your hard work!

Brilliant ending.  I missed the word 'familiar' the first time I read the end, but when I saw it, it made everything click together in an awesome way.  Great twist!  It makes me very curious.  When I read the letter, I caught my breath and read it again.  Seems like they've already started their romance.
