I'm sorry! It completely slipped my mind, but it's fixed now.

Please put this behind a cut, it's eating my friendspage.

Done; many apologies.

I enjoyed this thoroughly. Narcissa was so cold, yet I kept searching for redeeming qualities in her. Thanks for posting this great read!

You're welcome! :) Much appreciated.

LJ-cut please...

golden_d March 21 2005, 18:41:12 UTC

Sorry! It somehow slipped my mind the first time around, but it's fixed now.

And I'm sorry to sound like a parrot here :) I just replied directly, and didn't see that some already mentioned it

Don't worry about it. :) Hopefully it won't affect your enjoyment of the piece.

I just wanted to say that I read this while it was out of it's LJ-cut and loved it all the same :) I usually stray away from fics that don't involve the younger gen and more specifically, Draco. But I couldn't resist.. all of the Blacks and Malfoys have something about them and the way you've set this story up caught my eye.

And I have to say that I definitely agreed with what applecede said up there - I kept crossing my fingers for redemption, so with that said.. the ending made me teary eyed and that's what compelled me to comment on this piece - it touched me, was brilliantly written (all the thought you must have put into everything), all the wonderful little details - Sirius! The names, the bit about pouring tea. Not to mention everyone was brilliantly in character - Bellatrix, for one, was REALLY good :)

And though I can't exactly say that this is how I pictured Narcissa's wedding or her relationship with Lucius, I liked it all the same and that's saying something. Good luck with this piece! And thanks for writing it :)

Haha, thanks! =) I'm glad you found it so enjoyable (and that it was able to touch you), and thanks very much for all the compliments! They're greatly appreciated.
