II
The Rose
The Beginning
The first time he saw her, she was crying in a dark corner, crying because nobody loved her... He was struck by her beauty, by the purity of her tears. That very day he vowed that she was the one girl with whom he would spend eternity...
"Tell me Draco, do you love me?"
"Yes, with all my heart, body and soul. Your name is forever carved into my heart and I will never stop loving you... Ginevra, I never thought I would ever be with you, but now that I am, I cannot keep the tears from falling... I love you so much, it hurts!"
They spent every waking moment together... The castle was filled with their joyous laughs and the image of them together was for everyone an icon of true love…
Yes, Harry could not accept that she loved another, but he could not but be happy for her... He always thought she would be his, and he wished he had never hurt her… But it was too late, for he with the golden hair took her heart and he was clearly meant to be with her forever...
Ron? He was angry and hurt at first, but he loved her too much to be angry for long... His baby sister was happy, and that was all that mattered... He'd rather she weren't with the son of a man of pure evil, but he knew that the boy himself had a heart and could love...
On the last days of the last month of the year, the dragon took his beloved to the ball... Oh, how beautiful they were, with robes of velvet and shimmering jewels... They danced the night away and at the stroke of midnight he led her out into the gardens... Under the pale moon he kissed her hand and gave her a rose, red as her hair, as a token of his undying love...
"Ginny, let this everlasting rose remind you of our eternal love... In one year from now, I want you to be my wife forever... Will you?
"Yes, dragon, I will" and she tucked the rose into her curls...
