A/N: This is a song-fic based off the song Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks. I was reading a few song fic and only found ones base off the boys POV so I tried one from the father's. So this is Arthur letting his little girl go. Enjoy
Disclaimer: I do not, nor ever will own Harry Potter and his friends, nor will I ever own the song.
Stealing Cinderella
Arthur sat in his living room reading a copy of the daily prophet but every word just slipped through his mind. Today was the day, he could barely contain his grief and sorrow and even, to his dismay, excitement for his little girl. A slight tap at the door made Arthur look up he barely wanted to move. He starred at the photos of Ginny and stood up like a man to open the door. Draco was standing in the doorway his hands wringing each other. Arthur stepped aside so he could come in.
"The living room," he instructed. Draco walked ahead and Arthur went to get a drink for him and Draco. Well that's what he told himself. In his heart he knew it was to show Draco what he was taking, who he was stealing. After a few minutes he knew he had to go in and walked to the living room seeing Draco lean closer to a photo of Ginny at her Brother Bill's wedding, dancing around with Arthur.
His heart sank slightly at the sight and the smile that spread across Draco's face.
"Ain't she something?" Arthur said walking into the room and startling Draco.
"She is quite a woman," he said turning around and accepting a drink from Arthur's outstretched hand.
"So what can I do for you?" Arthur asked the blunt question, he knew the answer, but he would let Draco start.
"Mr. Weasley, I love your daughter very much. I would like to ask for her hand in Marriage," he said. His voice was weak but he sat high and starred at Arthur.
"What if I was to say no?" Arthur counted Draco faltered slightly much to Arthur's delight.
"I will respect your decision. But I will spend my time proving that I am right for your daughter," Draco said with a slight falter in his high stature. Arthur Smiled and took a sip of his drink.
"You have my blessing Mr. Malfoy," he said the sorrow in his body over weighing the excitement.
"Dinner!" Molly called from the kitchen interrupting them. Arthur turned to the landing an called down Ginny who came bouncing down and stopped in the doorway.
"I hope your being nice Daddy," she said. Arthur smiled and looked over at Draco.
"On my best behaviour, Princess" he said and Ginny blushed then kissed him before going with Draco into the kitchen. Arthur took one last look at the photos around the room and smiled half heartedly as he walked to the kitchen.
"What? I thought he always gave you a hard time," Ginny said unknown to her that Arthur was in ear shot.
"He is just protecting his Princess," Draco said softly. Arthur laughed to himself softly and thought.
"Maybe I will be a bit nicer," he thought knowing fully well that that was only a possibility.
