Love your cheerfully scheming Narcissa -- who of course gets something out of it for herself in the end. ;)

Love Narcissa being the stronger (as we all know she is;-D) and all-seeing when it comes to matching what Severus truly needs and what could light Sev's fire - Granger and Tchaikovsky - absolutely! Love the sombre tone of the beginning scene and then the release of the Malfoys, ending with everyone's 'awakening' wit music and love in the air - lovely work!

Excellently done, Karelia. Enjoyed it immensely.

That's so lovely and sweet. I like it when Narcissa interfère with Sev and Herm's Life.

Yay!  Matchmaking Narcissa always makes me happy.  I love how you've written her intuition and style.  Severus' understated gestures rung perfectly true.

Oh, this was so sweet and romantic! And so many excellent lines: "Bella would have Crucioed you," she thought with a hint of nostalgia."  And Lucius slow on the uptake!! And I love the 1812 overture-- perfect music for them :)

What a sweet tale..

Aww, this is delightful. I always like to see love in the Malfoy family and I love your matchmaking Narcissa.

Wonderful story, thank you so much for sharing:-))

1812 words!  Now, that is too clever! :)

very sweet.  i like the depiction of the malfoys as a true love match, there for each other through the ups and downs.  and i love the noncoincidence.  :D

1812 words -- perfect!  I love a matchmaking Cissa.  Andromeda does indeed need a new mate, and I appreciate that Cissa kindly steered her from Severus (who belongs to Hermione!).  Always glad to see Cissa and Andromeda get along after the war. Thanks for the story!

Very lovely story.  Your title hooked me, and I like yenta!Narcissa.  Now if she could only find a nice young lady for Draco...

1812 words, huh?  It was meant to be!  lovely story, hon.

Narcissa alternately scolding her sister for approaching Severus, then playing Cupid for Severus and Hermione was such fun to read.   Lovely story!  :D

Oh, it's a great story. I saw "Malfoy Manor" as the category and thought it would end up being Lucius/Hermione. What a lovely surprise that it went this way.

I love Tchaikovsky.  That was adorable.

Ahh.. Too cute. 

Love what you did with the prompts. Severus enjoying roses with Hermione... who'd have thunk it! :)

{ Bella would have Crucioed you, she thought with a hint of nostalgia.}OH that is soooo funny!  Nostalgia!  Golly, that had me laughing out loud.This is very well-thought-out.  I love well-thought-out fiction.  and it is 1812 words!  Just too cute.You give us a very real sort of Narcissa here, with a feeling of depth to the character.  She is calmly sensible, not a cardboard, horrible character,  and her remark about the roses was very witty.-Wahoo.

This is a lovely story. I like the way you've written Narcissa. And her reminiscence of Bella is priceless. Hope to see Mrs Malfoy back in future stories.

The story begins in a somber mood with catastrophe lurking, but a bright spot of hope arrives.  Then there is discontent with the rushing strings of the hearts countered by the clarion calls of brass determination.  Finally, the campaign is in motion, and bravery sees the heroes through to fireworks (metaphor) and ringing bells (another metaphor) for a grand alliance climax (yet another metaphor).  A tour de force.Checked these impressions by finding 1812 on youtube.  Never listened to it before. 

Lovely.

This was a fun story to read.  I particularly liked Narcissa's and Lucius's interactions.  It was funny that Lucius was having some "blonde moments."  :)

Lovely little fic. Wonderful how Narcissa connived to get Severus and Hermione together.
