| shusu @ November 27 2003, 21:31:17 UTC what about her? |
I have always wondered about Narcissa. She does as many errands for the "business associate" as Lucius. How complicit IS she?
(parent)| mayhap @ November 27 2003, 21:34:23 UTC Re: what about her? |
Her "Something is terribly wrong here!" is rather ambiguous itself. Something is terribly wrong ... because this doesn't jibe with what she thought was planned?
(parent)| shusu @ November 27 2003, 21:37:05 UTC Re: what about her? |
I wonder because Narcissa strikes me as someone adept at fronts. Esp given how she treats Draco. I've always thought she's just lying to us... or at least being two-faced. I do think her friendship with Remus is genuine. But so are her alliances...
(parent) |
Anonymous @ November 27 2003, 21:58:37 UTC Re: what about her? |
But then... if Lucius is posting, then he can't be with Remus, can he?

(parent)| black_dog @ November 28 2003, 01:53:16 UTC Re: what about her? |
I do think her friendship with Remus is genuine. But so are her alliances...
Nicely put. And we all know what happened to her friend Kiki, whether Narcissa fully approved or not, or even fully acknowledged what she must have understood . . .
I've had a million different theories about Narcissa over time, so let me try another one on and see if it fits: My general hunch is that the extremes of complicity and naivete are both too strong to describe Narcissa's position. To some extent, she's an independent agent and no fool; but she also chooses, most of the time and up to a limit, to stand with Lucius. Earlier this year, when Narcissa implicitly threatened Lucius with exposure during a marital flap, I think she knew exactly what she was doing, and exactly how far to push it. I think she and Lucius are both fundamentally amoral people, and she may be bored by but is not fundamentally outraged by Voldemort and Lucius' DE connections.
I suspect L and N have a genuine relationship, are genuinely fascinated by each other, but their goals diverge sometimes and they certainly don't quite trust each other. So their ability to maintain a relationship on an equal footing depends on a certain amount of hostage-taking, an implicit understanding that they need to tread carefully with each other and not overstep certain limits because each has a certain amount of deterrent force they can use against the other. There are clearly a lot of stresses and strains in the relationship and the resolutions are probably negotiated day to day.
I sense the Princess Bride references are really important here, but I don't know PB so I had to google it and skim. So, forgive me if this is naive or misunderstands the reference, or if I'm just grossly overreading:
I think Lucius' initial Humperdinck reference ("I'll send my four fastest owls") is not simply a code for insincerity but a tweak at Narcissa -- are you Buttercup? are you choosing Remus over me? Narcissa replies immediately by stealing part of Humperdinck's line, "one in each direction," signalling dryly that she understands him perfectly, and that he is hardly seizing the high ground himself. But a moment later she substitutes "that macabre man MacNair" for the "Dread Pirate Roberts" so the parallel with contacting/pining for Remus/Westley breaks down, she refuses the charge of disloyalty and diverts the question to a practical matter of getting the word out amongst the Death Eaters, that Remus has her protection. She's just asserting, in what might be one of many Lucius/Narcissa disputes over boundaries, that she cares about Remus as a friend and that he needs to be off-limits.
Just a theory, in the classic NrAged manner, but I toss it out there to see if it floats.
| luna_lg @ November 28 2003, 13:26:56 UTC Re: what about her? |
And yet, a very brilliant and well thoughtout theory. I'd gold star you for your ingenuity, if I could.
(parent) |
Anonymous @ December 1 2003, 09:07:30 UTC Re: what about her? |
You know, this is an interesting analysis, especially in light of Narcissa's seeming serious reply (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sibyllsays/3033.html?thread=12249#t12249) to Sibyll's post about the whales in the tea leaves. Could it be that Narcissa is nudging Sibyll a little? You know, if, for example, Lupin is in Wales, and Narcissa knows it?
*fascinated*
| black_dog @ November 28 2003, 02:11:33 UTC Re: what about her? |
BTW, what do you make of Draco offering her a gift of a man-eating flytrap? He's obviously playing off his sincere gift the other day, where he gave her a plant when she was upset and bonded with her a little. But last time, the plant wasn't specified, so why now, specifically, a "man-eating fly trap?" That sounds like a bit of a dig at her.
(parent)| shusu @ November 28 2003, 04:52:23 UTC |
1. I am really sleepy so may not make sense.
2. *squee* long exposition theory yay
3. very much a dig. and the "I am perfect" icon. methinks Draco does not understand L/N as much as we do, from the outside.
4. also, I vote that he was with jh and he was very Upset and thus did his part to boot 'em in the bum.
5. if so, SQUEE.
| onthehillside @ November 29 2003, 10:31:07 UTC Re: what about her? |
I think that you could look at it as a dig for both Narcissa and the general situation. Draco has made clear time and time again that he does hates it when people get emotional and spread their laundry around NA. This is a little different than a break-up played out live, but the end it the same: Narcissa's getting all emotional for everyone to see.
But as other people have said, Draco cannot going any farther than a small slight in his mother's direction because of his SOMETHING (tm knight_to_h3) with Harry.

Remember this thread between Snape and Lucius not even a month ago and this followup the next day?
It seems to me that these posts were meant to remind us of where Snape stands with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. But why?
Now Lupin is missing and, yes, he's asked Sirius for help. But...what if it somehow falls to Snape to rescue Lupin, which might put his position in the DEs at risk or out him altogether?
As a final confrontation between Voldemort and Harry draws closer, it would make sense to explore what would happen if Snape's cover was blown...(plus, it could put SS/RL back on track, as they have unfinished business because of Snape's "inner desires").
love, lore
| dr_jekyl @ November 28 2003, 00:28:51 UTC |
*waves her little NA SS/RL flag* Snape to the rescue!
But, seriously, Snape blowing his cover is a very interesting prospect, but I doubt he'd actually do it unless there's no other choice. Not exactly your classic knight in shining armour is he, our Sevvie?
| dr_jekyl @ November 28 2003, 04:39:38 UTC |
I've got my fingers crossed, believe you me!
I do have to wonder, however, if his desire to be with Remus was the *only* thing exaberated by That Potions Mishaptm. It might also have given a boost to his desire to be done with Voldie.
| shusu @ November 28 2003, 04:57:02 UTC a ruse? |
