Oh this was gorgeously done. Something about the way you enunciated Narcissa and Draco's dialogue and Draco's internal narration really got me, that feeling of tightly held control and the "proper" way they have to act based on their station and roles, and your delivery of that final line - argh. So much punch in such a short amount of time! And I love the cover, it has a feel of - of bright flowers but so ripe they're bursting all over the table and falling to pieces that reflects what I imagine is Narcissa's internal life, in that Parisian flat.
