I don't own anything!

Ok, I haven't written anything since like ever! Thanks a bunch to my beta, Teresa! You rock! All the mistakes are mine and mine alone.

Oh, and Draco is writing from Azkaban. I know that's not possible, but let's use our imagination and say he can.

Dear Ginny, my love,

I hear you are to wed. Harry Potter, I believe. Please don't cry, my love, it's alright, I want you to be happy. Your happiness is all I ever wanted, however subtle that feeling had been.

Before you say your vows, I need to tell you something. I need to say everything that I kept a secret, everything I never admitted to-... Just, everything.

I apologize. I know you said there was no need to, but I tend to disagree. By forcing you to keep us a secret and making you promise to hide our love I had hurt you, and that was never my intention. I beg for your forgiveness, darling, for all those nights I wasn't there, for all those tears I didn't wipe away, for all the pain I caused, I am sorry. I was afraid.

I love you Ginny, I always have, but my family made me think that our love was wrong. And I believed it, foolishly! Even when you swore that our love is worth more than all their feelings combined, I refused you, I was ashamed.

I am ashamed.

I was taught to mistreat women, to see them as nothing more than toys for us men to play with. That was what I thought was right. But then you came and I couldn't stand the thought of hurting you, mistreating you that way. I tried so hard to be good to you, that I didn't see the pain I was causing, blinded by my own beliefs. I am nothing more than my father, I apologize for that.

Yet, you were still there for me, you still believed in me even after nights and nights of tears and pain I caused. Every time I sent you away with a cruel word and dismissive gesture, you came back with a soft touch, every time I kissed another girl, you stayed and kissed me - you forgave me. I didn't see it then, but now I know just how much you loved me.

I love you. I love you, Ginny, more than I have ever loved anyone, and if I had the chance I would take back everything I did. Everything I said. I would tell everyone I loved you, I would kiss you and hold you at night. I would love you as you deserve to be loved. I would be the man you had always seen in me. But I can't. There is no more time.

I know I am in no position for asking you a favour, but please, grant me this one last thing. Be happy. That is all I can hope to live for now - your happiness. Even if it is without me. Even if it is with Harry Potter.

I hope you have a great wedding and I hope you live a happy life. Harry will be a good enough husband, better than I ever would, for sure. He loves you and I am grateful for that.

Do not feel guilty, my love. I am where I belong, and I am well, I promise. Now, wipe those tears away and smile. You have a room full of people waiting to see you marry, so hurry! Go to find your happiness! Go marry! And forgive me for everything.

I love you darling,

Draco Malfoy
