Daddy's Little Girl
A/N: Rose is in bold, Ron is in normal, Hermione is underlined and Hugo is italics.
*****
Please?
No.
Pretty, pretty please?
No, Rose!
But Daddy … I thought you loved me …
Oh, go on. But don't tell your mother - you know how she feels about ice cream right before dinner.
*****
But I want Christmas now!
'I want' doesn't get, angel.
I would like Christmas now!
The sooner you go to sleep, the sooner it will be Christmas.
That's not true. Time goes always goes at the same speed, Mummy, you should know that.
Well, your presents will be all the more special if you have waited for them.
Humph.
(*Hermione hears a smash in the room she left Hugo in, and rushes to see what has happened.*)
Here, open this one quickly, before she gets back.
Ronald Bilius Weasley, I heard that!
*****
It's beautiful!
You're always beautiful, Sweetie.
Please can I have it?
What on Earth for?!
The Yule Ball. Have you not been listening this entire time?
Borrow one of your mum's.
Daddy, I can't wear a dress which isn't new!
Why not? Ginny does it all the time - vintage, I think she called it …
Yes, but that's Chanel, not Madame Malkin's!
What's Chanel?
Oh Daddy, please can I have it? If I look bad it will make you look bad.
You shouldn't care what people think of you.
But it's so pretty!
No.
Fine.
Really?
Yes.
Where are you going now?
To get a tattoo.
I suppose it is a nice dress, after all. How much is it?
*****
And where do you think you're going, young lady?
To see Sara.
You only just got back from school! We're going to spend the day as a family.
Hugo's not here.
As part of a family.
Mum's at work.
As half of a family.
3/5, actually. Arnold's here.
Arnold is a pygmy puff - I hardly think he counts.
Dad! See, he's offended. He's crying! How could you?!
He is not crying, Rose. Don't try to change the subject.
For that I think you should let me go.
Be back by five.
Yes, Dad.
Just you and me, hey Arnold?
*****
Daddy, I'm getting married to Scorpius Malfoy.
Oh, that's n- YOU'RE WHAT?
I said I'm getting married to Scorpius Malfoy.
You know, blond, uses too much hair gel, pointy chin, thinks he's all that …
Shut up, Hugo.
Make me!
Since you asked so nicely. Silencio! Anyway, Daddy - Daddy? Dad, are you alright? Dad! MUM! DAD'S GONE PURPLE!
*****
I'm glad you're feeling better now, Dad, but don't think that your little episode changed my mind about marrying Scorp.
Oh no, I don't think so, Rosie. I forbid you to marry him!
*****
I can't believe you're defying my orders! Young people have no respect these days. I'm the head of this family and -
Oh, really? I was under the impression Mum was the head. You know, because she makes the decisions, tells you what to do …
Stop trying to distract me!
…
*Sigh* You know I'm only worried for you, Rosie. He's a Malfoy, and we all know what they're like. I don't want my little girl getting hurt.
Daddy, Scorpius isn't like them. I'm the one who knows him, and I know he would never hurt me, and I'm always right, aren't I?
…
Dad?
Oh, alright then. So, where's this aisle I've got to walk you up?
A/N: I hope you liked it :D
