HEE! She's my F1 lj friend. We're convinced we swung an unlikely world championship last night, and now she's sending lovely people over, too, bless her.
Narcissa always suspected. Not even the boys new for sure until their relationships with their wives came to their natural ends. After that, Narcissa suspected with intensity and some degree of impatience.
As to the wives Helene was really throwing Harry at Draco as an example of how he could have relationships based on trust and equality, whereas he treated her as an exotic creature rather than a really real person. They get on better now they're divorced. Helene did suspect him briefly of carrying on a clandestine affair, then she met Harry and realised how thick he is about personal relationships, so she let that jealousy go. Ginny wanted a life that wasn't entirely about being Mrs Harry Potter, because sometimes you hit 40-ish and realise it would be nice not to spend your whole life doing what you first thought was a good idea when you were 10 ... Going now before I come over too JKR in the explaining ...
