I've found the link to this on your comment to Aspen's AYLNO yahoo group, and I'm very glad I decided to follow and read.
I absolutely love the way you're creating a Pureblood background that's based on tradition and values, rather than the usual trope of bigotry and (often) Dark magic that's so prevalent in many fics. Can't say that I'm overly fond of Narcissa and Draco's still-present arrogance (being Malfoy does NOT automatically make them better than anyone else, IMO), but it definitely works within your story. Also, I like the way you portray both Narcissa and Andromeda, and can't wait to see the inevitable (?) clash meeting between those two -- and their relationship with Harry, now that he's their Head of Family!
(I'm just as curious to know whether the Weasleys still know and/or practise any of these old traditions ... any chance of that?)
Anyway, this is kind of a roundabout way of telling you I really, really like your fic so far, and am definitely looking forward to reading more!
