Oh brilliant description and atmosphere here. I like the implication of an arranged marriage over true Lucius/Narcissa love.

Oh lovely - shades of Manderley and the change in her character is perfect!

Very nice! Love her determination there in the end. Great job!

Very well done -- atmospheric and spooky, and I like the way you manage to characterize the images and shadows as well as the actual characters.

Lines I liked:

There, at least, she didn’t have to listen to her fears.
Says so much.

Shadows cling to the walls as her wandlight passes over them, and then surge forward as soon as she moves on.
Evocative and vivid -- I can see it exactly.

She will not be afraid of the shadows she now owns.
You go, Narcissa! Perfect.

Poor Narcissa! Great drabble! I especially loved the last line. :)
