Ophelia, Narcissa, and Misses Zabini went to a florist shop to get the proper flowers for the wedding. Ophelia had decided that she wanted a mix of green and white flowers in her bouquet. It took her quite a while to figure out which flowers she wanted, but she finally figured it out. When she did, she became excited by how quickly her wedding was coming together. Earlier in the day, she had sent Draco out with Harry to pick up the tuxes for the groomsmen and the groom.

Everyone ended up returning to the Malfoy Manor at the same time, and Draco and Ophelia sat down to determine the date for their wedding.

"Well," Draco paused, "It's currently the middle of summer. Would you like to have the wedding before or after your birthday?" Ophelia thought about it for a moment and hummed as she thought.

"I think we should have the wedding before my birthday. Maybe in the fall before it starts getting too cold?" Ophelia suggested and Draco smiled.

"That is perfectly fine by me. Maybe we can have it before the school year for Hogwarts and Beauxbattons starts."

"I agree, so mid-august? Say, August 25th? That's a week before school starts."

"That sounds great, love. Let's write the date on the invitations."

The couple then spent the next hour writing the date on the invitations. Their hands were once again tired, and they were tasked with deciding whether they want Lucius there.

"Love, this isn't just my wedding, this is also your wedding. I wouldn't mind having my father there, but ultimately, it is up to you. I don't want you to feel like you are being forced to allow my father to our wedding. Whatever decision you come up with, I will be perfectly fine with." Draco states as he holds Ophelia's hand. She smiles a small smile toward Draco and sighs.

"Narcissa?" Ophelia calls out and she rounds the corner after a few moments.

"Yes, dear?"

"If Lucius were to attend the wedding, what are the precautions that would need to be taken?" Narcissa inhaled and let out a long breath as she remembers what the Aurors told her.

"Well, he would constantly have Aurors surrounding him. There would already be Aurors surrounding the entire ceremony and reception, but if he would be allowed out, they would be doubled. It's up to you two whether if he would be allowed to be seated with the family in the front or not. He also would not be staying the entire time, only for the ceremony and some food, then he would be escorted back to Azkaban." Ophelia nodded and thought for a moment. She figured that it would be safe enough as the entire event would be protected by Aurors.

Ophelia let out one more exhale before she revealed her answer.

"Alright, Lucius can come to the wedding. However, I do not want to hear any talk of Voldemort or anything death-eater-related. The moment he does, he is getting kicked out. And you can tell the Aurors to tell him that." Ophelia was stern with her answer, and Draco was happy that she came to the conclusion that she did. He also agreed with the 'no talking about death eaters or her father' rule. That part of both of their lives is over, and they surely do not want to revisit, nor be reminded of it. It's already bad enough that they are being stalked by Mister Parkinson.

Ophelia was hoping that she was making the right decision. All she wants is for Lucius to love her as a daughter-in-law, not because of whose child she is.

Narcissa nods and gives her a comforting smile as she walks away. Ophelia looks towards Draco and mumbles.

"I hope I'm making the right decision," Draco grabs her hand and runs his thumb over the back of it.

"I'm sure it is love. Everything will be fine," The couple ate dinner sometime after the conversation and went to bed, patiently awaiting the day of their wedding.
