Oh, wonderful! You created such a powerful, compelling portrait of Narcissa as a woman and as a mother. The religion you created was also fascinating. It reminded me a bit of the religion in "Fires of Pompeii" from the last season on Doctor Who. You conveyed a chilling, other worldliness, that has little concern for the world of man (heh, either version). I came out of it pleased for both Narcissa and for Draco.

I'll be reading this one again.
