For What Is Gained

Summary: The Malfoy family is freed of most of the charges but the freedom comes with a price. Narcissa struggles after the War.

A/N and warnings: My poor attempt in poetry. This is for the first Daily Prophet Competition at QLFC and the task was to match the week's theme which was relationships and fire. Post-War, established Lucissa, Narcissa's POV.

It's easy to miss

And easier to judge

If you see us kiss

Please don't hold grudge

The sneers, the glares

It's enough already

Why don't you see

The pain you put us through?

~o~

Should I rejoice for what is gained?

Or for what is lost should I cry?

I hold my head up high

You wonder but you don't ask why

I'm proud of my choices

But you make me scared

Is there a future

In a world of hatred?

~o~

Our last name perhaps will bring us down

For a sake of something we cannot undone

Alone I shan't go down this fiery path

We'll face the consequences, we'll face the wrath

But leave out our only son

That's my final wish

What is lost is forever gone

May the one last kiss

Break this curse
