A Walk To Remember
Draco's Solution
It was about a week later, when Ginny had another fainting spell.
Ron found her in the halls and rushed her to the Hospital Wing. The nurse alerted Carrington and he alerted Dumbledore and the Weasley parents. Ginny's family rushed over to America and sat by her bed.
"How are you feeling, Ginny?" Mrs. Weasley put her hand on Ginny's forehead. "Are you alright?"
Ginny smiled weakly. "I'm fine, just bruised from the fall." She tried to sit up, but winced and lied back down. "Where's Draco?"
"I'm here." Draco had on a traveling cloak around him, and he looked paler than usual. 'It's only getting worse,' he thought. He went over and sat down on Ginny's other side and took her hand. Ron, obviously not liking this, left. The other Weasleys, Hermione, and Harry left as well. They wanted to be alone.
Draco waited till everyone left them and then he looked at Ginny. Her once smooth and straight hair was now disheveled, and her face was so pale it brought out her freckles even more. She was so small, you could see the bones in her fingers. Despite all of that, he still found her beautiful.
"We're going home."
Ginny furrowed her brows. "What?"
"Dumbledore made an agreement that if you fainted again we would all need to go back to Hogwarts. It's better this way anyway, because we 7th years need to take NEWTs." Ginny didn't like this.
"If I hadn't fainted, we would have stayed?"
Draco nodded. "Only for about another week."
Ginny sunk even further into the pillows. "It's all my fault."
"No," Draco kissed her forehead, "it's not." Ginny didn't reply, she only looked across the room, glaring. Draco thought that maybe now he should tell her what he planned. "When you get home, they would've sent you to St. Mungo's. I didn't want that for you, so I paid for a nurse to be at your home and care for you there. So you would-" die at home, he was going to finish. But he decided to stop, when he saw Ginny's face light up.
"Really?"
Draco could only nod.
"Oh, Draco!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a passionate kiss. "I love you."
***
The Hogwarts 6th and 7th years flew a plane back to Hogwarts. While on there, the students asked Draco many question about Ginny. Is she all right? What are you going to do? I'm so sorry, Draco/Malfoy. What does this mean? Draco never answered; he only looked out the window. They wouldn't care what he thought. If Ginny had been going out with Potter they would have had sympathy for him as well.
The NEWTs were taken just as the students arrived home. But school wasn't the same for Draco without Ginny. Every night and every weekend, he visited her, only seeing her getting weaker and weaker. The only good news that was given to him (if you could call it good) was that she could live for a few more weeks. Even that wasn't good news. But he still came to her, talked to her like he used to, and treated her the same way, only careful that when he hugged or kissed her he didn't hurt her. She seemed so fragile, like glass, he was afraid that he would break her. He was that scared.
Blaise came to him one night after Draco returned from the Burrow. "How is she?"
Draco only looked at him, and continued walking to the dormitory.
Blaise followed him. "You love her, don't you?"
"It's pretty obvious, Blaise." Draco snapped.
"Geez, sorry. If I were you, I wouldn't have even thought of letting her have a mediwizard at home. I wouldn't be as great as you are." Draco turned around. "I'm only saying that she's really lucky to have you, because I bet even Potter wouldn't have even thought of that."
Draco's eyes widened in thought.
Blaise looked at him strangely. "What did you just come up with?"
Draco looked around the room, and found his wand. He grabbed a nearby spell book and began flipping the pages. Once he came to what he was looking for, he mumbled some words and a tiny object appeared on his palm. Blaise narrowed his brows as Draco dashed out of the dorm.
***
"Ginny!" Draco burst through her bedroom door, scaring the nurse. "Oh, sorry. Would you mind leaving us alone for a bit?"
"Again?" Ginny looked startled. She laughed. "Why'd you come back?"
The nurse left the room and Draco pulled up a chair next to Ginny's bed. "I have to ask you something."
She smiled. "Ok, shoot."
"Would you do something for me?"
Ginny's smile faltered. "I don't know if I can anymore." She played with he fingers as she spoke.
"If you could, would you?" Draco would not let this pass him by.
Ginny nodded. "Yes."
"Then," Draco looked deep into Ginny's eyes as he open a blue velvet box two rubies surrounding a diamond ring, "will you marry me?"
Ginny stared in shock at the ring. She finally looked up into his eyes, hers watering with tears, "Yes, Draco Malfoy."
Even though her eyes had blurred, she could see the brightest smile Draco ever gave to anyone. He launched himself on her and they hugged for a very long time. You could say they were the happiest couple anyone had ever seen.
***
The wedding was scheduled two weeks after the engagement. No one knew how long Ginny would live, so they wanted her to marry fast. The only dress that could fit her on such short notice was the dress she wore at the play, and SAWWA shipped it over. SAWWA was also notified on this, and all of Ginny and Draco's friends and their family came. Narcissa Malfoy was the only one in the Malfoy family to come, but Draco didn't care. The Weasleys, his friends from Hogwarts and SAWWA, and Ginny's friends were good enough.
The dress from the play hung very loosely on Ginny, so her mother made a few adjustments to make it fit just right around her extremely thin form. Hermione also charmed sparkles in her hair, and the veil's crown was of diamonds and white lilies. Ginny's fiery red hair stood out perfectly, and to Draco, she was an angel. More of one than at the play. Because she was his angel.
The wedding was held at the burrow under a large tree in the front yard. The yard was huge, considering how much land the Weasleys' owned, so everyone that was invited could fit. It was bursting with people.
A tiny organist began playing. Draco looked to the very end of the isle (which was quite a bit away) a saw a small figure in all white, arm linked with a tall man in a black suit. She started walking, the nurse right behind incase anything happened. She walked very slowly, as the organist saw and he began playing a bit slower so Ginny could match the pace. Halfway through though, Ginny stopped and leaned o her father. Draco almost ran after, but his feet stayed nailed to the ground.
It may have been five minutes she was like that. Ginny nodded to her father, and they began processing again. Finally she reached the front, worn out. She breathed hard, but was held up by Draco's strong arms. He urged the minister to start.
(A/N you know the whole wedding ritual, so I'm not going through it. Both say 'I do' and now we're at the after party.) There was singing and dancing and much food. Ginny had to sit on a wheelchair for the rest of the time, but when she had to dance, she insisted that the nurse put a spell on her legs to keep her up for ten minutes. She didn't want the spell for the processing. She and Draco danced, cut the cake, made small speeches and thanks to everyone, etc. Owls came to the Burrow to wish them good luck and fortune, and some came to deliver the NEWTs. Every 7th year there passed, and there was yet another celebration for that as well. Soon it was night, and everyone had to leave. Ginny hugged Leslie, Suzanne, and her other American friends good-bye. She waved to everyone else, and sighed deeply. Pretty soon, after Draco gave the last good-byes, he looked down at Ginny and saw she had fallen asleep.
* Three weeks later *
Of course, Draco and Ginny weren't living together because of her health and the family and her age. He was heading out the door to the Burrow for another visit when an owl flew right into his face.
"Bloody bird! What the hell is your problem?!" He picked him up, and noticed that it was the one and only Errol. 'Ginny' ran through his mind as he hastily opened the letter. In Ron's messy scrawl, he read:
'Malfoy, Go to St. Mungo's now. -Ron'
Draco folded the note into his pocket, grabbed Errol, and Apparated to St. Mungo's.
