[ Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley had been best friends since that fateful train ride to Hogwarts. During their third year however, Rose makes the mistake of inviting Scorpius to a pre-Easter dinner with her family during the Easter Holidays. Hermione takes it well but needless to say Ron doesn't. Now its the beginning of their final year and both of them are Heads. What will Ron do to make sure his little girl is happy in her final year?]
Slytherin. Gryffindor. Those were labels that didn't define someone out of the castle walls. Yet for Ron Weasley he couldn't let Hogwarts go. Couldn't let the fact that Draco Malfoy had turned during the war after seeing Hermione tortured. No Ron simply couldn't;t accept the fact that his rival from their first year wasn't as bad as he appeared. Nor could he stomach the fact that at one point their children had been best of friends. Every holiday during her first three years Rose had talked so fondly about a mystery boy who had befriended her day one, and didn't care of her heritage despite being a pure-blooded wizard.
So to say surprise was evident on his face when he had stared at the mini ferret would be downplaying it. Even outrage wouldn't suffice; no his face had turned the deepest of reds then purple. Since that night where words had been exchanged between him and the boy, then eventually Draco Malfoy, Rose had been different. Disregarding the fact that she refused to talk to him for at least three months after chasing off her best friend her happiness had faltered. So that's why he stood here at Malfoy Manor, a battle raging on himself whether or not to knock and summon the king of arrogance.
What Rose didn't know is that those silver roses she received monthly from an "anonymous" admirer was really Scorpius himself. He had listened to Ron and not interacted with Rose, opting to switch out of all her classes and furthering her heartbreak. But being banned from being her friend had crushed him. At 13 he had started to notice the differences and wanted more than just friends. However there had been nothing he could do to persuade Ron to allow them to be friends. If he had known how badly it would affect his angel, things would be different. He would have learned to cope with the mini ferret. The result of his blow out had not only lost the love of his daughter for a while, but a scolding from his wife every chance she got.
Yes, Scorpius Malfoy was so much different than his father, but prejudice died hard. Draco hadn't had a problem with his son and Rose's relationship which only fueled Ron's rage. He had told her to stay away from that boy, but Ron could bet that the ferret had encouraged it. Ron had seen the boy grow up to be a different version of his father, more muscular and less harsh features. But he knew that like father like son, Scorpius was a woman killer. Heads turned whenever the young wizard wandered out, girls throwing themselves at him and men hating his guts. But the cold grey eyes only softened if he encountered the Weasley's on a offchance. And for the rest of the day Rose would be like her old self, so cheerful and full of life.
So that's why he stood here, swallowing his pride, grasping a silver rose in his hand, the scent wavering into his nostrils. These monthly flowers were a staple in Rose's letters home, the thrill of a secret admirer had captured his little girl. Gulping he raised his hand and pounded upon the solid door, steeling his face.
"May I help you ? I've kept away like your precious family like you oh so desired that night" Scorpius sneered, staring at the war hero at his door. Steel gaze drifted to the rose and for just a moment, shock was evident upon his face
"Talk to Rose. That's all you need to do. Make it like it was all those years ago, she's miserable without your company. These silver roses do nothing for her except make her wonder. "
AN: Welp this idea drifted upon me and it was something I wanted to try. Like The Girl Who Set His Brutal Soul On Fire, this will mostly be updated once a week, if I'm not swamped with work. I dont own Happy Potter or any characters/likeliness of them.
