Given that I think that someone from the Malfoy family would have to pay for the misdeeds of the whole family, for the first Lucius, this chapter of the Half-Blood Prince has always impressed me.
Narcissa is described as a beautiful desperate woman for whom only one thing, and only one counts: to search in all ways and by all means to save her son (the odious Draco). For this she uses all means available to her, she appeals to the heart of Severus, because she knows that he has a heart, and this makes me so mad! Is it possible that everyone uses Severus in such a brutal way? Is he ever been loved by anyone in his life, he that can love and sacrifice so much? Neither she nor Bellatrix would not ever set foot in a house like that, even by a half-blood wizard of great skill as Snape is. And in the book, unlike in the movie, it's Narcissa and it's not Bellatrix who asks and gets the unbreakable vow, throwing herself at Snape's feet and kissing his hand, asking him a very dangerous thing for him to do. What a shame! But she manages to achieve her goal: her son, Draco will come out alive from this great tragedy in which her husband Lucius has been one of the promoters, (while poor Fred, just for telling about one, dies in his twenties and Molly is not less a mother than Narcissa). I think Severus do not let himself be seduced by the beauty or the charm of Narcissa, but he is not insensitive to her obvious pain and to her deep sorrow and anguish. That's why in so many troubles he adds one more with this vow.
But I like to imagine, (as I discovered in fanfiction it's not only me!) that at least he had something in return! ^__^
If you are interested in reading the pages of the Unbreakable Vow, which I placed in the video, or the cartoons made by Laerry (http://laerry.deviantart.com/) you need to see the video full screen and pause when you see the page. The full screen is also advisable to admire the beautiful drawings that I found on deviantart.com

  • Nice clip. I've never gone mad for Harry potter saga, but your point of view on the character brings me deeper. You're an oscar director. LLLLLLLLappp .....

  • @PennabiancaC14 Oh, thanks! I'm flattered! I wasn't so fond of HP saga when I read the first book for my nephew, but I felt much the character of Snape! The books grew better and better, and from bitter to more bitter if I may say! The movies don't give justice to the complexity, coherence and deepness of many important characters and of the whole pattern of the plot. I think that Mrs. Rowlings is a great writer, although she is ruthlessly realistic with the excuse to write stories for kids!

  • wonderfull becuase of that chapter in the book i love thém jet as an love ´pair

    i think she feel realy much pain about that wohol lucius in jail and draco becomes a deadeater

    thing and that she wants sev to be moved by that and maybe a little bit to moved by her eminine ways she a woman after all ^^

  • @EngelsdaemonMaya I agree with you! Lucius in Azkaban and Draco in mortal danger, I think that Narcissa appeals to all that she can get in order to make Snape help her son: her true deep sorrow and pain to touch Sev's heart, and even her beauty and feminine grace to appeal to the most noble sentiment of protection inside of Severus, who is a man, after all *and I can bet that no woman needs protection less than Narcissa!*

    Thanks a million for sharing your opinion!

  • i so love this video ito cool and sweet

  • @annafrancesca1 i think she was trying to make him moved by her pain . i don't think she will ever trying to appealing her feminine wiles to severus :)

  • @halfbloodprincessso Thanks! ^__^

    What do you think about Narcissa? Does she let go all her coldness crying and grasping her hair in front of Severus in order to make him moved by her pain, because she is aware of being able to move him with her deep sorrow? Or she is simply appealing to her feminine wiles? I'd like to know your opinion, if you have one...

  • fantastic :D
