1. Prologue- More than enough
Molly was found sitting at the corridor on the second floor of St. Mungo's Hospital, tears were starting to fall down her red cheeks. She just came from Room 612 and learned from a doctor that her husband needs to be operated in 11 month's time before the worse can happen. The operation can't be healed by magic; it has to be done manually so it's really going to be costly.
Now Ginny was rushing towards the red figure with a scared feeling that there is something bad that had just happened.
"Mom, what happened? Are you all right? What happened to dad?" Ginny asked worriedly as she bend in front of her mother and touched her hands. Molly just looked at her with those round eyes and more tears ran through her now very red cheeks. She took a deep breath and finally told her only daughter what happened to Arthur.
Ginny was shocked by the news. She knew something bad was coming but she didn't expect something like this. She knew that her dad was having serious health problems but she would have never expected it to be cancer. And knowing that this cannot be cured by magic, she knew that the curing process will take time and it would be costly.
Trying to control her own tears, she again hugged her mother. She wanted to help but what she earns is not enough. Even though her brothers would surely help, it wouldn't still be enough for they have their own families to raise. It would really be up to her.
Ginny is currently working at the Ministry in the Education Department. Before getting the job, she had been a professor in Hogwarts teaching Muggle Studies for two years when the Ministry noticed her potential and asked her to work in the Department of Education. And now at 24, she's one of the most efficient people working in the Ministry.
"It's going to be all right, mom. I promise. I won't let you down. I'm going to find a way," Ginny said in a low voice.
Now there are four tall figures that are rushing towards them. Wearing thick robes, Ginny couldn't recognize them until one of them spoke.
"Ginny, good to see you. Mom how's dad?" Ron asked worry evident in his voice. Molly seemed to have lost the will to speak because all she did was rest her head on Ron's chest. She held his robes sobbing. Ron tightened his hug and then looked at Ginny.
"How's dad, Ginny?" Ron asked demandingly. The twins, Fred and George and Percy were looking at her anxiously. They seemed to be expecting the worse to happen to their father. Ginny couldn't bear the feeling of guilt and at the same time the feeling of sadness of being the one to tell them what is the condition of their father.
"He has cancer. Leukemia to be specific---" Ginny was interrupted by George.
"Dad has cancer? But how, how---" George burst but Ginny spoke.
"I know George. But that's what the doctor said and he needs to be operated in 11 months time or else. I know it's really surprising but we can't do anything. All we can do for now is to let dad be in an operation called chemotherapy. Cancer can't be cured by magic. "
"Dad has to be sent in America where Medi-witches who specialized in manual operations are assigned," she continued.
Now, everyone couldn't believe what they're hearing. Arthur was always a healthy strong man. He rarely gets sick, so this is really a surprise for all of them.
"What stage is he in, Ginny?" Fred asked.
"Stage 2," was all she can say. At knowing this, Percy closed his eyes for a moment then opened them again. He felt like he was going to cry and he didn't stop his tears from falling. He was not the type of person who shows emotions, at least not in public. But this is different.
This is about his father, their father.
Going home at three o'clock in the morning, Ginny just wants to sleep. Feeling very drowsy, she can't seem to relax knowing that her father was in danger. She lied down thinking of any way she could possibly help. Feeling anxious, she rose up and went to the living room. She turned the television (on a Muggle channel) on just to distract her from what she's thinking. Hearing the voices of people on television, she is making a sandwich on the kitchen counter. God, with so much to worry about, she had forgotten to eat.
Suddenly, what she was hearing from the television caught her interest.
A Muggle Reality Game Show.
A man. A dozen women.
Competing for his heart and---
For a million dollars.
More than enough, she thought.
A/N: well, what do you think? hope you liked it and tell me what you think about it. reviews help me improve. i don't know much about cancer so the thing about what stage Arthur Weasley is in is kind of made-up. the point there is to tell you that he needs medication and this will be the reason behind what Ginny would do in the future.just and introduction, the next would be much better!
