"If we shadows have offended,

Think but this, and all is mended-

That you have but slumbered here

While these visions did appear.

And this weak and idle theme,

No more yielding but a dream,

Gentles, do not reprehend.

If you pardon, we will mend."

William Shakespeare

On the day that they were married, Draco repeated the following:

"Elizabeth Alexandra May Samuels, from the moment you stepped into my train compartment on September first all those years ago, I knew you were going to do something to me. Of course, I never imagined myself standing here today, holding hands with you at our wedding, but I knew you would change me.

"And change me you have. When I look back onto the life we've shared just up until today, I see many things. Not only do I see the war and the tears we shed while fighting it, but I see that time we had breakfast in the Hogwarts kitchens on your birthday. I see you in that silver dress you wore to the Christmas ball. I see your face buried in Beauty and the Beast. I see you in that bloody angel costume at the Halloween party.

"My point is that we've shared a quarter of a life together so far, and I swear to you that I will enjoy every minute of the life we'll share after today."

Lizzie and Draco Malfoy lived long, marvelous lives together.

Sammy was officially adopted into the new family on morning of the 26th of July in the year of 1998.

Their first blood child was born on the 28th of October in the year of 2000, two years after the wedding.

She was given the name Rosalind Narcissa Malfoy.

She received the Malfoy hair and inherited Ella Samuels emerald eyes, but otherwise looked like a carbon copy of Lizzie.

Three years after the birth of little Rosy, the year that Sammy, who now went simply by Sam, finished Hogwarts, the Malfoy's had twins.

A pair of identical twin boys who also acquired the Malfoy hair and Ella's eyes.

They were named Archer Abraxas and Scorpius Hyperion.

They became mischievous enough to give the Weasley twins a go.

Their lives weren't perfect.

Many still held grudges from the war.

But this family held onto each other with a steel grip.

For never was there a story of woe and love like that of Lizzie and her Draco.
