Chapter Five- The Graduation
June 2005
"Come on Albus, this is Ginny's graduation. I want to be there"
Dumbledore took his glasses off and rubbed his temples.
"Draco, she's trying to move on still. She just got over her depression. Let time take its course. Maybe in a few years you can appear in front of her" Dumbledore said.
Draco glided over to him.
"I will not stay away from her forever" Draco told him.
"I'm not expecting you to. Just give her time to heal. I will allow you to witness the ceremony. But you cannot let yourself be seen" Dumbledore stressed.
"Alright" Draco said.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Go Gin!" Ron yelled.
"Last but not least, Mr. Weasley, our head girl. Virginia Weasley" Dumbledore announced.
Ginny smiled as she got up and walked on to the stage.
Draco smiled as he watched her, gracefully walk up and hug Dumbledore.
"Thank you Professor" Ginny said reaching the podium, "Wow, who'd ever think that the only Weasley girl in a century would graduate at the top of her class? I just didn't want to be part of one of my brothers experiments (laughs) or W3, or for the serious people in the crowd, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, which is my brothers Fred and George's joke shop. I better get some money for that!" Ginny yelled.
"You will!" One of them yelled back.
"Anyways, there's a lot of people I'd like to thank, a lot of people that helped me achieve where I am today. My Mum and Dad, they've had 7 kids total and they've tried their hardest to help each and every one of us kids, no matter how much, money it takes. My brothers, all 6 of them, let me tell you there are days that I want to hex them into the next oblivion, then there are days where I love them so much. Yes, sometimes they get so over protective it's annoying, but they've always made sure I've achieved what I wanted. Then Harry and Hermione Potter, the unlikely pair, well unlikely to them but likely to everyone else. They were friends with me when everyone else ran away. They saved my life a few times, made sure I was on the right path. Plus they named their little girl after me, and so you guys know whenever you guys need me just let me know.
"I'd like to take my final moment to thank my inspiration, the person who even in spirit is supporting me and will always. My Draco. Everyone only saw evil in him, but I saw the good. Under the tough, bad boy exterior, he was a good man. Draco, I know your watching after me, this is for you. Thank you" Ginny said.
Everyone applauded.
Draco glanced at her as she walked over to the Potter's and the Weasley's.
"Goodbye Gin Gin" Draco whispered.
Ginny looked in the direction where he was.
"I love you D" Ginny whispered.
