Once back at the Burrow, Samantha was questioned about where she would live. "I'll take her." Hermione said quickly. "Any enemy of Malfoy is a friend of mine."
Twirling her knee-low white-blonde hair, she considered this. "Would I get my own room?" Her silver eyes bored into Hermione's.
"You can use my old room! It's a little dusty, but it's roomy…" Ginny said enthusiastically.
"Thanks, Mrs. Potter! So, can I stay?"
"Yes. I'm sure you can trick your father into signing the adoption papers, can't you?" Hermione said, braiding her Saman-tha's long hair. Her skin wasn't so pale as Draco's, in fact, barely pale at all. "You look a lot like your father, you know."
"Yes. I wish my mom was still alive. My skin and eyes are hers, dad said." Looking at her feet, her eyes watering, she hastened up the stairs, tripping on her hair once, and falling down. When she was gone from sight, Sophie and Ariel followed, but only Sophie succeeded in not falling over either of their ankle-long hair.
"Don't worry. Just NEVER mention her mother. She cries for hours-"
"- really misses her –"
"- we can help." They charged upward, to the fifth floor, where sobbing could be heard from the second door to the left.
"Sam?" uttered Ariel, creaking the door open slightly.
"A -- ire?" muttered Samantha through tears.
"Here are the adoption papers. Want-"
"- us to come with you?" Sophie finished.
"Yes. I'd – I'd like that." Samantha answered, sitting up and wiping away her tears.
AT DRACO MALFOY'S MANOR
Sophie and Ariel waited at the door of the Manor, behind some bushes, as Malfoy would probably hurt them if they'd entered the grounds. Inside the manor, Samantha wasn't having the best time in her life, considering her father was being very ill to her.
"DADDY! YOU DON'T WANT ME ANYWAY, ANYMORE!"
"I AM NOT LETTING A MALFOY LIVE IN A BUZZARD!"
"THE BURROW! LET ME STAY," she screamed, " OR I'LL GET REINFORCEMENTS!"
"REINFORCEMENTS? THINK YOU'RE BEING FUNNY, DO YOU?"
"SSSOOOPPPPHHHIIIIEEE! AAARRRRRIIEEEELLL!"
Sophie and Ariel burst in, and ran next to Samantha.
"I was NOT being funny." Reluctantly, after hours of protests and many bruises and cuts, he signed the adoption papers, making Samantha feel freer than in her entire life.
