This is one of many submissions to the Prompt Relay Challenge in the Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges forum. For those not familiar with the challenge, there are ten stages we have to write for, each state having anywhere from five to twenty-plus story prompts we must fill.

Stage Six: Next-Gen Era


Father,

I am sorry that it has come down to this. I had expected you to me much more welcoming of Scorpius given all that you and Mum fought for when you were our age: a world of peace and acceptance, where witches and wizards of all blood statuses could create a happy community together. But I guess you just wanted to enjoy it from a distance.

Scorpius loves me and I love him. Everyone had been so amazing to him, until you had a meltdown in the middle of family dinner. You embarrassed me, you called him all sorts of hurtful names, and you showed me just how important my happiness really is to you.

That's why I can no longer live under your roof. I am a grown woman, out of school, starting my own job, and it's time I get my own place. By the time you get this I will have already left with Scorpius. We're getting married.

You won't be able to find me.

Rose
