Review:Akussa says:
Hello!

This was a wonderful one-shot. I fully agree that most death story are either of people of the "good" side or seen from their eyes (therefore making it a glorious thing that a bad person died). With this piece, you managed something more; something I have rarely seen before : you made Bellatrix Black a likable human being.

I found your take on little Bellatrix is an absolutly fresh idea and I love it. All children are born good aren't they? You pushed this just far enough to make her a nice and lovable child that was completly believable. I really like the idea that she was once a happy and carefree child but that she took a wrong turn at some point and, like you poetically explained it, got blacker until there was no more light in her.

The idea to have this from Narcissa's point of view, from one of the rare person that might have really loved her, is excellent. To have it from a second person point of view gave your story a closer, more personal feel that I really enjoyed. You managed to have Narcissa's feelings pass trough your words and straight into my heart.

One small detail kind made me frown a bit though. I highly doubt the Black family would go to a chuch along with muggles. Going to a church is kind of a strange idea from this family in the first place but for them to actually volontarily go sit with and listen to muggles was hard for me to imagine. This is, however the only thing that bothered me out of this beautiful piece. I'm extremly happy I got the chance to read it and congratulate you on a wonderful and clean story!

Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much for this review!
I have acheived my goal. I really wanted to portray Bella in a different light, and that came through, which makes me so happy! Thank you!
I think Bella's been overlooked a lot. People seem to assume that she's always been horrible. I wanted to do something different, and it really means a lot to me that you liked it!
As for the church: While I understand what you're saying, I think that it wouldn't be possible for the Blacks to avoid Muggles completely. Even Sirius/Regulus didn't live in a Magical community. But I have gotten a lot of reviews disliking that, so I will definitely take it into consideration for change :)
Thank you again! This was fantastic!
