This is quite heartbreaking.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 18:18:29 UTC

Thank you! I'm really pleased it worked for you. :)

archon_mentha December 5 2006, 16:58:04 UTC

Wow.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 18:18:48 UTC

Good wow?

archon_mentha December 5 2006, 18:27:11 UTC

YES, good wow. This is extraordinarily powerful. Much more so than via any kind of diary or first person view, I think, because the implications are left up to the reader.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 18:36:44 UTC

Oh I'm so relieved you like it. Rape at Azkaban has become something of a cliche, but I seem to have developed a fascination with Bella as an almost-mother.

Oh goodness, I don't think that Regulus could reply to this (even if he weren't rather see-through), but this is just both wonderful and terrible and very, very sad.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 18:35:01 UTC

I think hearing from her birdy right now would just about send Bella over the edge. But we both you think you two are wonderful. :)

blackdasphodele December 5 2006, 20:08:27 UTC

Oh Bella.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 20:51:27 UTC

It seems only fair that Bella get a certain amount of torture, considering the havoc she wreaks before and after Azkaban. :)

blackdasphodele December 5 2006, 21:02:11 UTC

Indeed. But Narcissa wants to hug her... Then go kill the Healer.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 21:23:42 UTC

Bellatrix is in feral-mode for most of Azkaban and would probably attempt to bite a chunk out of her cheek, but would no doubt appreciate the hug once she realised what was happening.

*level, but it's clear he's disgusted* Do you know, I think the prisoners would have to go and sell their story to The Quibbler, because the Prophet wouldn't print it. *pauses* Even now.

hismagdalen December 5 2006, 21:20:16 UTC

Do you think not? Wouldn't it make a good story? You could put it a few pages from the front, with a double-line headline and a few grainy black and white pictures. Very raw.

hexed_gideon December 6 2006, 22:55:51 UTC

It would make for rather too good a story. Depending on the devotion of the current editor-in-chief to the Minister of Magic, the chances of it being published in The Prophet are looking slim, though. Maybe once the editor has fallen out of love with the Ministry at large, then they'd take it.

hismagdalen December 7 2006, 18:36:46 UTC

I can wait. I have plenty of time to wait. Maybe it'll be a better story in time.
