Lol. Brave man, sir. Brave man. There are few that have killed Molly Weasley and lived to tell about it. Narcissa knows better than anyone now :)

I do have to admit though, I get in the rut of imagining certain characters my own way. It's gotten to the point where I have created my own canon where there are things that I just know that happened. This dragged me from my preconceived notions about her redeemable nature and smacked me right in the face. I think it's definitely easy to hate Narcissa in this chapter, because you didn't go really behind the motives of her kill. I mean, obviously Bella was her sister but you didn't really talk about her grief or whatever motive she might have had.

That's why the flow of this story is so brilliant. You make us feel sorry for her in the first chapter, and then in the second chapter you make us loathe her entirely, for who could ever, EVER forgive the slaying of Molly Weasley? I do love it though, because it's generally out of the box. It would make sense that Narcissa would want to avenge her sister, yet goes against the grain of what we saw in the last book. The woman that would spare the life of Harry Potter but kill Molly Weasley. I'm not sure which is worse :p

Also, One more quick note, I liked the beginning where you described how Molly Weasley looked out the window and "saw" Bellatrix. Good descriptions of a post traumatic thing. I think too many people have Rose tinged glasses on when it comes to the end of the war and getting back to their lives and the truth is that it could never be that easy. Being Harry Potter could never, ever be easy. And especially Molly Weasley, who has lost a son and watched her children taunted and tortured, she'd live with that for the rest of her life. So, I thought that was nicely done :)

Author's Response: Haha, I laughed when I first read the start of this review :D

I don't know what to say... but I'll try my best anyway.

Molly is a character where I think everybody wants her to enjoy having all of her grandchildren around her. I do like those stories, but I wanted to explore something different here.

I'm really glad that this is testing how you see Narcissa in each chapter, because that was something that I really wanted to explore. I know that so far, this story may not fit with how people think about Narcissa in canon, but as you read more, hopefully I'll bridge the gap...

I really wanted to stress the fact that, to me, Molly could not just forget everything, because I don't think it would ever by that easy. She lost a son, as well as a lot of friends, and I think that when you add this to how she might feel after killing somebody, I don't think she would be able to just forget it.

Thanks again for the review, Ash!
