I like this unique POV on the events that must have preceded Narcissa's visit to Snape. The voice of the portrait was an engaging one.

Very interesting insight, I like the way you portray Narcissa. And Draco seems very in-character :)

Great characterizations!

wow thats great and problem along the lines of what happened for real

I like this! The premise that not everyone in the Malfoy family has always embraced the prevent family views is good when well done, and you've done it well.

At first, the talk about her being relegated to a back room because of her "ranting" made me think it was the portrait of Mrs. Black. I wondered two things; A. how they finally managed to move the painting and B. who she meant by her "grandson" since Sirius died without issue, as far as we know. Surely, she didn't think of Harry as her grandson?! Then, after another paragraph or two, I began to catch on.

Come to think of it, she's sort of the "mirror image" or "opposite number" of Mrs. Black. A portrait who rants against her family's ideologies -- only this one is ranting AGAINST biggotry.

I do wonder what would happen if the painting of Great-Gran Malfoy and the painting of Mrs. Black were ever put in the same room. Of course, Great-Gran would have to have the silencing spell taken off before she could hold her own!

I had to go back and read the beginning a second time to realize why the painting couldn't say anything, but that's my failing, not the story's.

Anyway, I like! :-)
