Disclaimer: I do not own anything. All characters belong to JK Rowling.
It was the Christmas Eve, and Ginny was at a church with her dad.
Arthur had told her about the muggle ritual of a midnight mass, where everyone lighted candles at midnight during Christmas.
Ginny held a candle in her hand, praying to the holy spirits to cure Draco.
Everything in her life seemed to revolved around his health these days. It was Christmas now, and she wanted it to spend with her husband.
Just as they sat back down, a soft hymn started to play in the background. Her dad told her it was a Christmas carol, which they sang during the festivities. Ginny thought about how the sweetest carol right now would be for her to hear Draco's voice.
As Ginny and Arthur came back from the church, he assured her that Draco would be alright. Everyone in her family seemed to be sure of Draco's strength than her.
"Dad, I don't doubt that he will be alright, but how can we be sure that it won't happen again? I mean, I feel so frustrated sometimes that he still has to suffer for the choices he made back in time. Hasn't he served enough punishment for it?"
"Ginny, I have told this to you time and again; don't ever forget the wrong he gets, but always respect the right he desires. Draco's worked really hard to build his family's name again; he wouldn't like you focusing so much on his past. Don't take this attack to your heart. He will be fine, just have faith."
Ginny smiled at his words. They reminded her of the lessons he gave her on her marriage day.
Her dad knew Draco like one of his own. She couldn't be more grateful to him for being a father to her husband.
