Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter.

Hello my readers! Yay! I got the chance to type the first chapter of Love When it Matters. This story might make more sense if you read Forbidden Love first to those who have not. I do have to add one of the parts in this chapter I got the idea from a Spongebob Squarepants episode. For those of you who read this and have watched the episode it might ring a bell. Oh, and I got the World Wide Wiz Web from Wizards of Waverly Place. Now without anymore of my blabbering please start reading Love When it Matters.

Love When it Matters

Rose Weasley cautiously made her way through the front door of her house. The sun was setting behind her. She guessed her family was in the living room. Rose was right.

"I wonder where she is?" she heard Harry say.

"I don't know, but when she gets home she's going to hear something from me," Ron said.

"Hush Ronald. Obviously Rose didn't love Elijah. You know she went through a lot just to please you. Did you even give a thought that your daughter was about to marry someone that she would have been miserable with?" Hermione asked.

"She would've gotten over it eventually," he responded.

She heard a 'whap' and guessed Hermione had hit him.

"I'm sorry dear but-----"

"But nothing. Keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it for you," snapped Hermione.

Rose slowly made her way to the stairs.

"I hear you Roselina Weasley."

Rose shut her eyes and whispered, "Bloody hell Dad." She made her way into the living room.

"Merlin's Rose. What did you do to your dress?" cried Ginny.

"I uh---- I should probably start from the beginning," Rose sat down.

She began with meeting Scorpius in the bookstore. Then continued on with feeling like she was make the wrong choice. Finally she told them that Scorpius asked her to marry him.

"Dad, I tried as hard as I could to forget about him, but I've always been in love with him. It isn't fair for you to decide who I should like. You tortured me by separating us," Rose finished. "I always loved Scorpius and I always will."

"So nothing I can say will stop you?" Ron asked.

Rose shook her head. "Well I'll probably sneak off and marry him anyway."

"I guess I'll just have to accept him Rose. I never meant to cause you that much pain. I was only trying to prevent you form getting hurt. It was the other way around I see. Maybe I will learn to accept the Malfoys'," Ron smiled. "I just want your happiness Rose."

Rose flung her arms around him. "Thank you Daddy!" she screamed.

"We'll definitely have to buy you a new wedding dress Rosie," Ginny piped up.

Rose ran upstairs to change.

Later that night, Rose sat on the couch reading a book, Harry and Ron were searching the World Wide Wiz Web on the computer, and Hermione and Ginny were talking quietly in the kitchen.

"Dad what are you watching?" Rose asked, after the fiftieth time.

"We're on Wiztube. Wizards and Witches put hilarious homemade videos on it." He paused and looked at the screen. "Ha ha, Voldemort got hit in the head with a coconut!" Ron cried doubling over in laughter.

"Look Ron," Harry said. "Voldemort got hit in the head with two coconuts!"

"Even better!"

Ron and Harry were rolling around on the floor crying from all the laughter.

"Ronald!" Hermione yelled in a loud whisper.

"Harry what's going on?" asked Ginny.

"Vol---Voldemort keeps getting hit in the head with coc---coconuts," managed Harry in between fits of giggles.

Ginny walked over and looked at the computer screen. She smiled. "Hey, that is pretty funny."

"It might be funny you three, but you could wake up baby Charlie," Hermione said.

"James is here," Rose spoke up.

"Yes, with Grace."

Rose's cousin, James, had been married two years. He claimed his most "awesome" uncle was Charlie. So he named his kid after him. George, Percy, Bill, and Ron argued about it at first, but got over it eventually.

There was a knock on the door. Rose ran to get it. There stood Scorpius. Rose flung her arms around him.

"Ewwwww! Break it up you two. You have the rest of your lives to kiss," Albus said behind Scorpius.

"Shut up Al. Just wait until you find love," Lily said, pushing him past Rose and Scorpius.

Ron walked up to the scene. Rose let go of Scorpius.

"You're Scorpius Malfoy?" Ron said, eying him suspiciously.

"Yes sir Mr. Weasley," Scorpius replied. "I came to ask if I have your permission to marry your daughter?"

"You have my permission Mr. Malfoy. I might have miss judged you. Can you accept my apology?" Ron asked, looking at his feet.

"Of course Mr. Weasley," Scorpius said with a smile. "No hard feelings?" he asked, holding out a hand.

Ron stood there reluctantly. Then he took the outstretched hand. "No hard feelings," Ron agreed, with a slight grin.

Scorpius turned back to Rose and took her hand.

"I realize I didn't give you a proper proposal so----" he got down on one knee and took out a ring. "Will you marry me Rose?"

"Yes I will."

He put the ring on her finger. Rose beamed. He stood up and engulfed her in a hug.

Ron smiled. Hermione, Ginny, and Harry came walking in.

"We heard the proposal. Congratulations," Harry said.

"Welcome to the family," Hermione hugged him.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley," Scorpius said, hugging her back.

"Feel free to call me Hermione."

The five adults lead Scorpius into the living room. They sat down. Scorpius looked around.

"How's your father been?" Harry asked, breaking the silence.

"Oh, good."

"Does your Dad know you two are getting married?" Ron said. "Break the news to him yet?"

"I just came from Malfoy Manor. Father isn't that thrilled, but Mum will convince him. You've all been invited to dinner tomorrow."

"We'd be delighted to attend," exclaimed Hermione. "Wouldn't we Ronald"

"Yeah--- that's... great," Ron said, with a fake smile on his face and his teeth gritted.

"Would you attend too Mr. and Mrs. Potter?"

"Sure," Ginny answered. "Right Harry."

"Harry had on the same fake smile. "Right."

"I must be heading home," Scorpius said, standing up. "I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."

"Bye Scorpius," Hermione waved.

"I'll walk you to the door," Rose offered.

"Yeah to kiss," Albus said under his breath, walking past the sofa.

Rose stuck her foot out. Albus tripped over it.

"I just hit the edge of this fine sofa," scuffed Albus, standing up and brushing himself off.

"I think your tired Al," Ginny said. "Why don't you go to bed?"

"Mother, I am a grown adult," stated Albus. "I don't think I need to-----"

Ginny glared at him.

"Going to bed," Albus pouted, head down.

Rose and Scorpius walked to the door, and of course, kissed goodbye. Maybe a little longer than necessary.

Back in the living room, Ron and Harry were back on Wiztube.

"Let's watch it again," Ron whispered, already giggling.

"Okay," Harry whispered back.

"Bed now," Hermione demanded. "Both of you."

"But----"

"No buts. Bed," Hermione pointed to the staircase.

"Fine," Ron crossed his arms across his chest and marched out of the room.

"After being married to him for twenty-one years he still acts like he did back at Hogwarts sometimes. I love that about him though," Hermione squeeled.

Ginny rolled her eyes and walked upstairs to bed.

There's the end of chapter one. If you're wondering which Spongebob it was it was the one when he and Patrick raised a clam. Rose's engagement ring is on my profile page. You'll just have to copy and paste into your search bar again. Please review!
