[ By the time she hears from Narcissa again, Remus has returned to her. Things are still... tense, to say the least. But they are both trying their best.
The confirmation that Narcissa does want to get out is extremely useful, if only because it tells her that there is someone close to Voldemort who might if nothing else be willing to drop the tiniest hints about how to stop him if she can. ]
You're right, I don't think we'll ever be able to understand each other very well.
[ She doesn't mention the fact that actually her mother doesn't speak much of her sisters at all. Somehow she has a feeling it would be more hurtful than thinking that Andromeda has spent much time painting them as villains. ]
There is always a point in fighting oppression. I would never be able to look myself in the mirror if I did anything else.
[ Because yes, the world is a big place. She and Remus could probably run and hide somewhere. But how could they live with themselves then? ]
Whatever you have done to live with your own decisions, I don't think it would work for me. But for what it's worth, I wish you luck in keeping your son safe. I sincerely hope I never have to fight him.
