Not badly but--it wasn't Cruciatus. It's--well, you know how beautiful she is. Let's just say Karo tried to console her by telling her no one wears low-cut robes in winter, anyway. Didn't go over well.

That's why she wants no visitors. She's adamant no one should see her in her current condition.

Fletcher's certain it's a curse-mark, too, so he doesn't even think he can fade the scar with time. Karo's right that it'll be easy enough to cover up, at least, but this is Narcissa we're talking about.

I haven't been able to get her to explain why yet--I mean, what she said or Merlin, even thought to prompt Our Lord to lash her like that. Maybe if you wrote to her she'd tell you?
