"Auntie Rose!" I look up and see two of the most important people in my life making their way towards me; Scorpius and Grace Malfoy. I am standing in the middle of the long hallway connecting the St. Mugo's Hospital wing to the center and heart of the Ministry of Magic, talking with a huge Government official; Senator Millegus.
Being a lawyer, it is my big dream to have a nice chat with such a big government official. But as soon as I see those two, his presence is no longer important in my eyes.
"I am so sorry, Senator. But I have to go." He smiles at me and watches me pick up the bag I had previously discarded on the floor next to my feet when we began our conversation. "It was wonderful meeting you!"
The senator nods and moves to shake my hand. His grip is almost suffocating and all I want to do is leave, quickly. "You were magnificent today, Miss Weasley. You are surely going to be a fine young lawyer! Keep up the hard work and your future will be bright."
I feel my face light up and my famous blush seeps over my face. How embarrassing! He is a government official for Merlin's sake! I need to keep my cool. Instead, I just nod and look over to where I see my best friend and his daughter waiting for me. I cannot think of anything else to say.
The senator smiles and shoos me off, I think he realized my position. I thank him again for his time and turn towards my visitors. Before I know it, a small body is thrown towards me and hugging me at my knees. A small body that I love so much.
"Auntie Rose! I missed you so much!" I look down at Grace, her beautiful grey eyes, that she got from her father, smiling up at me. I brush back a strand of her curly blonde hair and continue to look at her. She looks so much like her father, it is sometimes hard to fathom that someone else had to partake in her creation.
"I missed you too, Gracie, but I saw you last night." She smiles then links our hands together and leads us towards where her father is waiting with a small smile on his face.
"Really?" She scrunches her eyebrows together and looks at me. That right there is definitely her mother. Her mother had the biggest facial expressions I had ever seen. "Seem likes forever."
I smile at her, then look up at my best friend. "Hello, Scorpius." He pulls me in for a hug. His hugs, they're amazing.
"Are we going to go get lunch, or hug all day?" Grace pipes up and I turn to see her sitting on the bench in the hallway with a huge smirk on her face.
"I am so sorry about her. She shouldn't have interrupted you while you were talking to whoever you were talking to." He walks over to Grace and zips her coat up, putting her gloves and hat on as well. He really the perfect dad to Grace. He cares about her so much.
I smile, gazing out the windows at the snow falling through the hectic town of London below. "Senator Millegus. A big government official, but she's fine. He was boring me anyways. All he wanted to talk about was how 'marvelous of a young lawyer I am'. I think he just wanted to get into my knickers."
He chuckles and looks at Gracie who seems to find my comment just as funny, although she has no idea what it meant. "Oh a senator! You really are one of a kind Miss Weasley. How cute would that be, a senator and a lawyer living happily ever after." He turns away from Grace to send me a quick wink, she falls into a fit of giggles at this and I roll my eyes.
"Oh, shut it Dr. Malfoy! Besides, I hear you've got your eyes on a new intern. What was her name.. Oh, Kaitlin, Karyn, Kacey.." Word around the Ministry gets around fast and with Scorpius working in St. Mungos and myself working in the Magical Law Department, I know everything. Besides, why would I miss an opportunity to tease my best friend?
"Katherine. But I don't know she seems too high maintenance and I've got my hands full all the time with you two." He sends me a wink and picks Grace up off the bench. She walks in between us and grabs a hold of both of our hands and we begin walking towards the exit.
"Oh I understand, Scorp," He smiles at me as we arrive towards the doors. He steps outside holding open the door for both Grace and I. "Besides, we are all you need."
"That is right, Miss Weasley. So what do you two say to lunch in the city?" Grace nods and begins jumping up and down. I nod, too. Lunch sounded good and boy was I hungry. But I catch myself thinking, as he steps forwards, waving his hand out for a cab. This guy is truly amazing and he's my best friend, why would anyone want anything else?
Thanks for reading! I feel in love with this idea recently and found it super easy and fun to write. I hope you enjoyed it too! I already have the first chapter written but I am planning on seeing what responses I get from this and then posting it! Thanks.
