A/N - My Prompt for Round 1 was a story about a Grandparent.

Title - Of Ice Cream and Overused Themes

Arthur Weasleys POV

"Rose, Hugo, whats say we go get some ice cream!" I called over, to the two children I had been tasked with watching for the afternoon by my son and daughter in law.

The two of the children had been playing at a muggle park in London, but thanks to my suggestion of Ice Cream, both of the redheaded children were already in front of me with large grins on both their faces.

"Yes please," Rose said politely.

"Well then come on," I said smiling.

We walked through the Leaky Cauldron and finally found ourselves in Diagon Alley.

"I want to get one of those for when I go to Hogwarts," Rose said smiling as she pointed towards one of those levitating replicas of our solar system, which was currently positioned in a display window of Flourish and Blots... why it was in that window I may never know.

"Perhaps your parents would be willing to buy you one if you start taking advanced astronomy," I encouraged with a smile as we continued walking towards the Florean Fortesques Ice Cream Parlor.

"Yeah!" Rose agreed with a bit of a jump of excitment.

"You know, one day I want to get a firebolt!" Hugo admitted as we past a display of a new Firebolt model in the window of Quality Quiditch Supplies.

"Perhaps, but you need to learn to fly on a normal broom first," I pointed out with a smile as I looked around towards the boy.

Hugo just nodded as he continued beaming in that adorable way as he continued on his little speach, "yeah, and then one day I'll be as good as uncle Harry!"

I was about to make a response to Hugo, but at that very moment I found myself bumping into someone I hadn't seen.

Looking towards the person I had bumped into I felt my heart skip a beat, as low and behold I had bumped into Draco Malfoy.

"Oh, sorry about that," I said rather sheepishly.

"No need," Draco said with a wave of his hand, "I know how children can be a bit distracting."

That was... certainly not the response I was expecting from Malfoy, quite the contrary to my prediction in fact.

I was about to respond but before a word had escaped my mouth, Rose had spoken, "Hi, I'm Rose, do you and my grandpa know each other?"

Draco simply chuckled as he looked down at Rose with a smile, "Yes... I guess you could say we're old... acquaintances" He said, clearly struggling to find the right word.

At that moment a little boy, no older then Rose began tugging at the sleeve of Dracos robe, "Dad, weren't we going to go get Ice Cream?" The boy asked.

I could tell that Draco was holding back a sigh as he turned to his son, "Of course Scorpius,"

And once again one of my grandchildren beat me to speaking.

"Ice Cream, we were going to get some too!" Hugo said with an unmistakable note of excitement in his voice.

"So were we, I was going to get a butterscotch ice cream cone!" Scorpius said grinning.

"I was going to get a hot fudge sundae!" Hugo exclaimed with nothing short of undeniable enthusiasm.

"Well at least the children are getting along," I said directing the statement towards Draco.

"Indeed, and I suppose since we're going to the same place," Draco began.

"No getting rid of each other," I said finishing the statement.

More might have been said between us but at that very moment Hugo began trying to drag me towards Florean Fortesques Ice Cream Parlor while Scorpius seemed to be doing the same to Draco. all the while, Rose just walking along with us with a light skip in her step.

Thankfully no one else seemed to be at the Ice Cream Parlour, so there wan't any lineup we had to wait through... the kids certain appreciated that.

"I'd like a Hot Fudge Sundae!" Hugo said with a large grin on his face.

"And I'd like a Strawberry Sundae" Rose said with a sweet smile.

"Just a Vanilla Ice Cream Cone," I said handing over a small handful of knuts.

"Alright," The man said nodding as he handed our Ice Cream through the window.

Me, Hugo and Rose went and sat down at one of the outdoor tables and began eating our Ice Cream, yet we hadn't been there a minute before the boy named Scorpius wandered over to our table.

As he walked over I will admit that I wasn't sure how to feel, a good part of me wanted to dislike having to speak with the son of the Malfoy house but another part of me just wanted to see what the kid had to say.

"I didn't catch your name," Scorpius said, directing the question at Rose.

"Oh, I'm Rose, Rose Weasley," The Redheaded girl said rather shyly.

"I'm Scorpius, Scorpius Malfoy," Scorpius said holding out a hand for her to shake.

Rose took his hand with an enthusiastic smile just before Scorpius walked back to his father.

Looking back at Scorpius I caught Dracos eye, and found that all he was just giving me a sympathetic nod, no trace of evil in his face... surprising I suppose.

So... my grand daughter making friends with the Malfoys... 10 years ago that would have been something no one would have imagined. Yet as I looked over at the two children happily eating their ice cream, I realized how with no Voldemort and no one stirring up muggle born and blood traitor hatreds... it isn't as unbelievable as some would think

A/N - This was my submission for round 1 in the Quiditch League Fanfiction Tournament.

Team captain for the wasps, this story was based around Arthur Weasley being a grandparent to Hugo and Rose.

Anyway to anyone following my profile I would like to say that both TMITE and AA should be updated with two weeks, but this fic is going to be random One-Shots based around a tournament that I am in.

Hope you all enjoy :)
