I really hadn't intended for the fic to turn out like this, oddly enough. I started it with a "Ohh! Bellatrix/Hermione femmeslash!" thought, but when I read and reread (and reread) that section of the book (to get all the blocking, dialogue, etc) it twisted a bit, and then twisted some more once I really got into it. *sigh* I hadn't really remembered the Malfoys being there for Hermione's torture, but they were there in the beginning and at the end, so it makes sense that they would be, you know? Also, wow, look at me ramble on meaninglessly. Hee! Thanks, love.
