"At last, the Prince killed the bad witch, with his silver sword, and ran to the Princess' side. Gently, he kissed her rosy lips, and her eyes slowly opened... She was alive, and they loved each other. Nothing would ever stop them from living happily ever after!" Ginny read the end of a bedtime story, to a now sleeping Cassie. "It should end like: and they lived happily, until he died on duty and left my life empty, except for the pain!"

Cleaning the tears that kept running down her face, Ginny kissed Cassie's cheek, and covered her properly, with the pink covers.

"Is she asleep?" Julie asked, when Ginny returned to the living room. "Are you crying?"

"Yes, she's asleep... I just hate to read those Happily Ever After endings..." she said, sitting close to her best friend.

"Oh, Ginny... You're still so hurt." Julie whispered sadly, hugging her friend close to her. "He wouldn't want to see you so sad and melancholic!"

"I spend my days, smiling as if I'm a happy woman, when on the inside, I'm dying with all this pain..." Ginny sighed, trying to avoid the tears she knew were going to spill in a few moments. "I have to wait until Cassie is asleep to drown myself in tears. I don't want her to see me like this!"

"I understand you Ginny... And I know you loved Draco! You still love him, but he died, and now it's time for you to move on! Ginny, nearly two years is enough time to try to forget!" Julie said, softly. "I want the old Ginny back!"

"I want Draco back! I want his pranks back! I want his laugh, his smile, his scowl, his caress, his body close to mine, his love for me, ... I WANT HIM BACK!!!" Ginny yelled, starting to cry once again.

"I know... I want him back as well, but that's not going to happen!" Julie said, crying as well.

"All I have left to remind me of him, is Cassie! What if I don't raise her, as he wanted? What if she never forgives me for not being her real mother?" she whispered, worried. "Why did he leave me?"

"Stop this right now, Virginia Malfoy!" Julie said, furiously. "You are a fantastic mother to Cassandra! For the last nearly two years you've always put her above everything else, and that shows how much you love her... She calls you Mother. She loves you, Ginny... Draco died, and he's not coming back, so, please, try to put your life back on tracks, and be the Ginny I once met..."

"It's hard, you know? But I'm still trying... I'm trying..." she whispered.

"I know you are... Well, Mark is waiting for me, at home. I'll see you Sunday at Harry's wedding ok? Goodbye, darling." Julie said, preparing to leave.

"Goodbye Julie, and thank you for everything!" Ginny tried to smile, but failed, as she watched her best friend Disapparate.

"All alone again..." she whispered to the big house Draco had bought for their life together. It was never meant to be so empty of people, but now it was.

It had been 2 years since she had married Draco Malfoy, the man she loved more than anything, and the father of her child to be born.

Ginny had been pregnant when they married, and the couple had adopted Cassandra, Draco's sister, as their own child.

The recently married couple had been extremely happy for three months, until the day Draco was called to a secret Auror mission, along with Harry.

It was just a normal day, with Cassie at the Burrow, Draco working for the Ministry, and Ginny working as a Healer at St. Mungos. But, as soon as two Aurors appeared at the Hospital, to talk with her, Ginny knew everything was wrong.

There had been a raid to a Death-Eater's manor, and Draco had been killed by one of the deadly traps.

Ginny still remembered the feeling that swept through her, as she heard those words. Soon enough, her world went black, and she fainted on the floor.

Two days later, she woke up at last, and her mother was there, by her side, comforting her, and once again, delivering bad news.

She had lost her baby... Her only link to Draco... The news had made her abort spontaneously her 5 months old baby.

Once again, the pain was too strong to bear, and took her a long time to go back to their house, and to be able to take care of Cassandra, and herself, once again.

So, 21 months later after his death, Ginny still cried for him, for their baby, for the love they had, for the happy life they could never share...
