Worth it

"Don't be sad." He bent down and kissed each of her eyes gently, trying to gather up the tears.

"Yeah, it works that way, Malfoy." The voice of his favorite redhead, so vehement most of the time, was dull and empty… broken.

"Take it from me, Ginevra- you're not talentless, you're not a headless sheep, you do not blend in with the crowd and you're not just a regular little girl." Draco said in a soft yet sure voice, "Each person shines like a star, so different yet all the same. But you? You shine brighter, you shine louder, you shine better; you just shine more. "

Ginny raised her head slowly, questioningly and looked right at him. The boy that had always been so cold and remote, the ice block, the Ice Prince, the one who could render you to ashes in a matter of seconds. He was there for her. On the one night she felt more worthless than a piece of shit he took her into his arms and prevented her tears. It was good, to cling to someone, to not be alone in such times, to just feel, feel like you've never felt before.

As brown met gray, the girl felt thankful. She felt thankful to have someone like that on her side, in her arms, in her life. A friend like that was not to lose.

"I just shine for you, Draco. You're the only one who sees it. What good is it then? What worth does it have?"

"It possesses all the worth in the world and even more." And in the spur of the moment he kissed her.

Leaned down, put his lips to hers and told her. Told her with his lips everything he knew about her, everything he loved bout her, everything he hated about her, everything he wanted from her, everything he was willing to risk for her; he told her his life story, offered it to her.

And she accepted.

It felt so good, having someone there for her. Something more than a friend, something less than a lover and something definitely worth it. Worth every damn second and every blasted tear.

Hello again! I haven't posted in ages and quite frankly I thought I was over with fanfiction. I wasn't. I just needed this little drabble I guess, I've been feeling like shit recently, like I have that great potential but it just won't come out, no matter how hard I try. Fanfiction helps. A lot.

About the drabble itself: I don't know any of the back-story, the setting or what provoked Ginny (other than my own personal feelings). Patch it up as you see fit if you even want to bother. Criticism is wanted, reviews are appreciated.

It just feels darn well to be back : )

Deliya.
