Rose/Scorpius

Rose sat comfortably in the arms of a very handsome young man under the shade of a tree near the lake at Hogwarts. Rose breathed in his scent as he pulled her closer to him and kissed her on top of the head. Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy had met their very first year at Hogwarts. Even though Rose was placed in Gryffindor and Scorpius in Slytherin they still managed to keep a friendship between them. Rose had heard stories about the Malfoy family from her parents, but could not see how Scorpius was anything similar to what her parents had described. She remembered before boarding the train her first year her father had told her not to get too friendly with Scorpius. He had also said that Scorpius's father was so cruel and how he was one to believe in the pureblood mania. Her father's grudge was the only reason for her not to mention her friendship with Scorpius. Now, at the beginning of their seventh year of Hogwarts Rose and Scorpius had started dating and Rose knew she would have to tell her family.

"I have to tell them," she said barely audible as she turned to meet his piercing grey eyes.

"Are you sure?" he asked as he stroked her long red hair lovingly.

"Yes. We have known each other since first year and we have been dating a while so I think it's time to tell them Scorpius." She said softly

Scorpius's inherited smirk spread across his face as he leaned down to kiss Rose softly.

"Whatever you want to do love. When you tell your parents I'll tell mine."

Rose smiled sadly and leaned into his chest.

"Are you nervous?" she asked fiddling with his top button on his shirt.

"A little, I'm just not sure of how my father will take it," Scorpius answered truthfully, "I don't think he will mind too much. I mean, sure you're not pureblood, but I don't think my father cares about that much anymore."

Scorpius tilted her head up so he could look into her worried brown eyes.

"You nervous Weasley?" he asked concerned

Rose bit her lip and looked down at the ground not wanting to tell him of all the awful things her father said about his father.

"Please tell me," he pleaded.

Rose sighed and looked up at him and whispered, "My father has always said he hated your father. He told me not to get friendly with you because all Malfoys are bad."

Scorpius smiled slightly at her and replied, "Well I'm not all that bad am I?"

Rose smiled and cupped his cheek with her soft hand.

"Of course not." She said softly and she leaned in and kissed him sweetly. Scorpius pulled her closer too him and kissed her back tenderly before pulling back and grinning at her.

"Listen, I have heard terrible things about my father too, but he's not as bad as they all say. Perhaps he was long ago, but he has always been a good father to me."

"Has your father ever mentioned my family to you?" Rose asked him curiously.

Scorpius thought back to all the times his father had mentioned the famous Golden Trio. Whenever he brought them up he always said what a joke they all were and how annoying they were back at school. Most things his father had said were complaints but nothing too bad. However, not wanting to upset Rose over nothing he just shook his head.

"Nothing much," he mumbled

"Good," she replied as she let out a sigh of relief.

"We'll work this out don't you worry," he said confidently.

"How do you know?" Rose asked in her know-it-all tone.

"Because I love you," he said as he pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

Rose's eyes filled with tears as she whispered back the four words that would change her life forever.

"I love you too."
