Title: Red and Black
Pairing Cedrella/Septimus
Summary It is better to marry for love and be happy then to marry for wealth and be unhappy.
If she had married who her parents wanted, then she'd have a big house and a vault full of money but she wouldn't be happy.
Septimus tries his hardest to provide for her, but with the majority of the Pureblood families doing whatever they can to make sure he never gets anywhere in life its hard.
But still she loves him because he's a good man. The type of man who would die for what he believes in, give the very little had to those worse off than him and he would never cause anyone harm.
Sure, there were days when Cedrella wanted a new dress or she wished they owned a house elf but then Septimus would hold her and those feelings would vanish.
Because love was more important than buying pretty things or having a big house, more money than one family could ever spend.
