A/N: So this is the beginning, hope you enjoy it and I just want to say that I'm going to try to write this story into... sort of two... on line follows almost right after Fairytale Perfect left off, and the other is five years after that. Let's see how it goes, and if you have any thoughts about it just review or something.
Chapter one
Scorpius stood up from the armchair he had been seated in and turned his head to stare at the bathroom door impatiently. It had been like this the last couple of times they were going to see Rose's family, him trying to hurry her up but only so that she out of spite would deliberately slow down even more.
"Rose, we need to go now, not later or in a second, now."
"Ok, ok… I'm here, shall we proceed, oh great Scorpius?" Scorpius bent forward slightly and kissed the top of her head before he held out his arm for her to take. "You know it's not like they are going to notice that we are a little late, there will be a lot of people there."
"You know that your father is going to stand watch by the door to see when we arrive, just waiting to point out some of my many faults."
"He's stopped doing that."
"Well perhaps, but I can see what he's thinking." Rose smiled and kissed him lightly on the cheek while she snaked her arm around his waist.
"Just do what everyone else does, ignore him."
"Now we are late." Scorpius mumbled as his lips met hers. "Really late…" His hands brought her head closer as he ran them through her hair and she smiled against him. As they broke off the kiss Rose wiggled her eyebrows and tried to make her voice huskier.
"We could stay here…" But she was cut off when Scorpius disapparated with her in a tight embrace.
They could hear voices from inside the house as they made their way through the snow up to the Burrow. The house seemed to glow with the warm and inviting atmosphere inside, something Scorpius had loved since the first time Rose brought him there.
Five years earlier
"Scorpius!" Scorpius was almost tackled to the ground by the laughing girl who had rushed out of the door which he had moments before been about to knock on. Lips crashed onto his and he had a hard time controlling himself and not make it into a heavy make out session.
"I'm happy to see you too, Rose."
"You better be." She hugged him again before letting go and taking a step back to get a good look at him.
"I can't have changed that much since we said good bye at King's Cross." Rose smiled and his world was brightened.
"That's just it, you are still Scorpius Malfoy. Come on, I want you to met mum."
Rose could easily say that she had never been more excited or nervous in her entire life as she brought Scorpius inside, and it didn't help much when she nearly tripped over a box with Christmas decorations, waiting to be put up. However Scorpius quickly caught her by the elbow and the familiar smirk played on his face.
"Better watch where you step next time, Weasley." She smiled brightly at the playfulness in his voice before pulling him into the kitchen where her mom was currently trying to cook.
"I can't take this, it doesn't make any sense." Hermione hadn't noticed the two newcomers as she leant over a piece of paper while waving her wand over the stove. Her head snapped up when the sound of Rose clearing her throat reached Hermione's ears.
"Oh, hello, you must be Scorpius. It's really nice to meet you." Scorpius could see how much Rose resembled her mother, especially the facial expressions. He wasn't really that comfortable around new people, but as Hermione held out her hand he shook it and managed to smile genuinely.
"Good day, mrs. Weasley."
"Rose has told me a lot about you, but perhaps it's time for me to tell you all about Rose." Hermione and Scorpius both smirked when they heard the loud groan from the girl beside Scorpius, and they saw how her face had changed colour to deep red.
"Mom, really…"
"Rose, don't interrupt your mother when she has something important to tell me." Scorpius felt his unease melt away for every moment that passed together with the two women.
The pair sat down at the kitchen table to continue to watch Rose's mother attempts at making dinner, laughing and making small talk.
Sometime later the backdoor slammed open and Hugo appeared.
"Hello everyone, Hugo has returned." He was met by silence and three pair of eyes staring at him while trying not to laugh. He had a ridiculous costume, like a mix between a horse and a chicken and on the back it said WWW. "Hey Scorpius, what do you think, I might get an even bigger fan club than yours with this?" He pranced around the table and did a little pirouette when Scorpius snorted, before going upstairs.
"He got a job for my uncle." Rose explained in between giggles, but then she went silent as the door opened once more, but this time Scorpius noticed how the room filled with a wary silence.
Present time
Rose slowly opened the door and peeked inside. The house was crowded by relatives, but so far no one had noticed them. However she knew that they wouldn't be unnoticed for long, and soon the tiny, yet suspected squeal came from the six year old girl with baby pink hair as she saw the pair putting away their cloaks.
"Rosie and Scorpius are here!" Scorpius turned to Rose and said in a low voice so what he said wouldn't reach unwanted listeners.
"And you said that no one would notice."
"As if you believed me anyway." She linked her arm in his and waved at her young relative who almost danced her way over to them.
"Nobody wants to play with me." Isabelle glanced up at Scorpius with a meaningful stare and her face lit up when he crouched down so they came face to face.
"Hello to you too, Izzy." He smirked at her when she changed her eyes to the same ice blue shade as his own. "Well, if you put it that way, who can say no then?"
Ron had eyed the younger man as he stood together with Harry and George, who had long since decided to just ignore Ron when he got this way. Quiet and with narrowed eyes directed to a certain Malfoy.
However as soon as Isabelle walked away with Scorpius in tow, Ron quickly approached his daughter before someone could get in the way.
"Rosie."
"Dad." She said courtly looking him straight in the eye.
"How are you?" Ron walked up to her side, and for a moment they just stood there, watching their family.
"I'm good, and how are you?"
"Good, good. Just got away from the kitchen, it's like the Great War was fought in there."
"That bad, huh?" The smiled faintly at each other before turning their eyes back to the room.
"Well, what can you expect when you have approximately seven women trying to do everything their way."
"I guess that you, Uncle Harry and Uncle George didn't help much either." Ron chuckled at this, thinking lovingly about his wife's annoyed face as she threw them out of the kitchen after they nearly blow up the pies.
They stood in a comfortable silence, and Rose waved to various people who eagerly waved back at her.
The dinner was like the ordinary chaos it always was, and Rose felt the spark of warmth towards Scorpius when she saw the blissful expression on his face in the middle of it all.
"What?" He was forced to lean into her to make her hear him clearly; she shivered as she felt his lips grace her earlobe.
"Nothing, this is just really nice." He squeezed her hand gently in reply and turned his head slightly to Percy who asked about work, but he didn't let go of her hand.
