Epilogue

After the kiss ended Hermione stayed close to Draco and was protectively held by him. "Draco," she queried, "what will we do with your father? I mean, we can't prove the frog is him, nor can a frog be sent to Azkaban."

"We could keep him in captivity, and starve him," replied Draco maliciously.

"Even though he deserves death we can't make it a cruel one," Hermione said indignantly. "It has to be quick. That summer I was in France we had some of the most amazing food."

"Hermione," Draco spluttered, "this is an important time, we're trying to decide the fate of Lucius and all you can think about is food?"

"Well not exactly. My favourite recipe was frogs legs."

"Are you saying," Draco asked catching on, "that we should have frog legs for dinner?"

"Well, that was what I was hinting at," replied Hermione mischievously, locking her arms around Draco's neck, "unless of course, you had other ideas?"

"My dear, I think you should have been a Slytherin."

Hermione laughed melodically at this and asked, "Would you like me to start cooking?"

Draco nodded as he watched Hermione putter around the kitchen and begin to boil water in a large black pot giving no thought to the missing Will. She shrieked suddenly when reaching for spices and he was instantly at her side. "What is it," he inquired affectionately.

"There was a frog," she replied shaking, "but it didn't have grey eyes. It had blue eyes, beautiful blue eyes."

"Will," he said with a sharp intake of breath. "Lucius must have transfigured him..."

"And we can't change him back," she said finishing his sentence. "What are we going to do?"

"He'll just have to stay with us," responded Draco trying to remain calm. "I'll catch bugs for him, or he can catch them himself, and we'll build a nice pond for him to live in at Malfoy Manner."

Hermione agreed with his plan for action and thanked God that he had sent someone so wonderful into her life. After she finished cooking the frog, Lucius, for supper they say down and each ate a leg, reminiscing about their past. Recalling the happy moments they had had between them with tenderness and apologizing for when they had hurt each other. Hermione stayed with Draco for the rest of the summer and they knew they were truly in love.

They had a bond that could not be broken. It was not based purely on their attraction to each other as it may have appeared when they first became cognizant of their feelings towards each other, it grew on that, they had a deep respect for each other and were matched well intellectually. The pair could talk about anything, serious or frivolous. Frog legs became their favourite meal and, to the dismay of some of their guests, they served it as the main course at their wedding.

So with laughter and love they lived their lives together. When they grew old, they died on the same day and were buried in the same grave. Their shared tomb stone read "They lived a faerie tale life." For once this epitaph was true because after Lucius had died, they had lived happily ever after.

A/N And that is the end. I love my story, it's my baby and it's all over. Boo hoo :( I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read and review this story. I also encourage you to check out Christmas With Muggles. I personally don't think it is as good as this one but a bunch of people have told me it's better. It's definitely longer (I surpassed this one's length in about three chapters, maybe two). If you only read my story because it's a Draco Hermione fic I have good news for you. When I reach chapter ten on Christmas With Muggles I'm going to start a new fic (I just finished writing chapter 7 for it so do a happy dance) that's Draco/Hermione. I'm going to put another chapter in after the epilogue outlining the story. If you could review that chapter specifically it would really help, especially with any ideas or comments. I'll post it at the same time as this so I can get your feedback before I start writing. Anyways, I hope you liked this story as much as I did and continue reading my fanfiction. AND, if you're reading this months after I've posted it, please review still, reviews make me do a happy dance, actually, almost anything makes me do a happy dance. But feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome. Oh, I almost forgot. I think the song I used in chapter 9 would be appropriate here. Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing, at the beginning with you.

Shout Outs to Reviewers

Sarah – I'm glad you like this story and my writing style. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and this story is over. Please review my other and upcoming stories with as much praise (only if they deserve it though)

Alenor – you have met your fellow romantic. I wait for guys to sweep me off my feet (except for the time I accidentally made out with my neighbour while playing hide and go seek in the dark – I made up for it though, this guy gave me his pillow at this overnight thing because I forgot mine. That was knightly).

Madnutterfan – you put your trust in the right place. Now that they're solidly together though, it's the end, except you can read about my idea for them in the next chapter lol

MageAurian – The song is from Anastasia. I love the movie as well. Chapter 10 was my favourite chapter as well, except for maybe chapter 5 actually no, chapter 10 was my favourite. Charlie Hunnam is hot.
