Hi, I promise this is the last fluffish chapter, but it might be the last one for a while because I start school tomorrow. Also, if it's unclear, the first part is in the summer of their first year and the second part is christmas in their second year.

Tap, tap, tap. Four heads turned to the sound of a beak pecking at the window and saw a snowy white owl perched on their windowsill.

"I wonder who that could be from? We've already got our post," said Hermione as she rose to open the window and let in the bird. Rose suddenly turned scarlet and jumped up to stop her mother before she got the letter.

"It's mine mum, just a friend from school," she said snatching the letter from the owl and tucking it into her pocket.

"Ooooh, Rose has a boyfriend!" said Hugo.

"I do not, it's from a friend at school that's a girl, Hugo," Rose said.

"Then why does it say Scor-" Hugo tried to say but Rose quickly slapped a hand over his mouth before he could finish. Rose's father looked at her suspiciously,

"Rose, who is-" he started but Rose interrupted.

"You know what, I'm not really hungry anymore, I think I'm going to go upstairs," said Rose and she practically ran to her room clutching the letter. Ron jumped up from his seat and was about to follow her upstairs when his wife said,

"Wait! Just let me go and talk to her first, you're not going to help with your yelling," she said.

"Well if there's a reason to yell-," he said.

"There usually isn't," said Hermione and followed her daughter upstairs. She found Rose lying down on her stomach on her bed with her feet in the air, pouring over the letter.

"Rose, dear," said her mother as she softly entered the room. Rose jumped up from the bed and grabbed the letter away from her mother's sight.

"Do you want to talk about the person that letter is really from?" she asked.

"Well…he really is just a friend from school, Albus, he and I hung out this year," she started tentatively, her mother always seemed to get things out of her with no effort at all.

"But, it seems like you might think of him as more than friend," said Hermione perceptively. Rose turned bright red again and said,

"Well, maybe. But that's not why I wanted to hide it from dad, the thing is…he's Scorpius Malfoy," said Rose.

"Oh," said her mother carefully, "And you were worried your father would…"

"Blow up," said Rose finishing her mother's sentence and they both laughed.

"Well, I think you should tell your father about who the letter is from, really," said her mother.

"You sure he'll be okay with it?" asked Rose skeptically.

"Eventually, yes," said her mother.

"What?!" Rose and her mother heard from downstairs. Just after they heard the shout Hugo dashed into the room with a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry Rose, he made me tell him," he apologized.

"Here we go," said Rose.

"Are you sure about this?" Scorpius asked Albus and Rose.

"Comepletely, we already told everybody that you were coming, Grandma Molly has probably made you a sweater by now," said Albus.

"But, they won't freak out 'cause I'm a Malfoy will they?" he asked.

"The only one you really have to worry about is my dad, but I'll keep you far from him. As long as my grandparents like you you'll be fine," said Rose assuring him not so successfully. Scorpius sighed and tried not to panic, it was too late to tell his father to pick him at the train station when they arrived. But then he saw Rose's excited smile at the thought of him spending Christmas at the Burrow and he felt like he would do anything to keep that look on her face. A few minutes later the train came to an abrupt stop and Scorpius took a deep breath before standing up to get his luggage. They met up with James in the hallway and he said goodbye to his friends and followed them off the train. As soon as they got off Rose spotted her mom, dad, Uncle Harry, and Aunt Ginny standing together with Hugo and Lily. The three children took off for their families and Scorpius followed them slowly and stood off to the side awkwardly while they hugged and caught up until Ginny noticed him.

"You must be Scorpius Malfoy, I'm Ginny. Albus and James's mother," she said kindly.

"Hi," said Scorpius.

"This is my husband, Harry," she said dragging Harry away from an animated conversation with James, "Honey, this is Scorpius Malfoy, remember he's coming with us for Christmas,"

"Oh, right. Hello Scorpius, I'm Harry Potter," said Harry holding out his hand which Scorpius shook and nodded his head fast with his eyes wide. At that moment Lily ran up to him and said,

"I'm Lily Potter, I'm coming to Hogwarts next year,"

"Hi," he said again, "I'm Scorpius Malfoy," Then Rose and walked over closer to them bringing her parents.

"Mom, dad, this is Scorpius," she said, to Scorpius's relief, doing the introductions. Her mother smiled and said,

"I'm Hermione and this is my husband Ron," she said.

"Hello," Scorpius said. And to his great dismay Ron only glared at him.

"Ronald! Say hello," Hermione whispered.

"Hello," he said gruffly.

"You must be Rose's booooyfriend!" said Hugo running up to him with Lily and they both giggled. His pale cheeks turned a bright shade of red and Ron glared at him fiercely.

"N-no, I'm not-" he stuttered and looked to Albus for support, he was already in trouble and these were only four of the Weasley-Potters adults he had to face. This might be harder than he thought.

Scorpius gasped for breath as he gazed at his surroundings, it was the first time he had apparited and he decided that he it was not a pleasant form of travel. After Hermione let of his arm he stared at his new surroundings. He was in front of a very tall and crooked house in the countryside, he immediately felt embarrassed in his fancy robes in this rural setting. He followed the group to the door,

"So, you're sure this will be fine?" he whispered to Rose right before Harry knocked on the door.

"Definitely," she said and squeezed his hand before they both realized what she was doing. She immediately let go and they both blushed and looked away. The door opened slowly with a creak and standing there was a short, stout woman with gray hair streaked with red.

"Harry!" she exclaimed and came outside to hug him. She moved on through the family ending with her grandchildren.

"You're getting so tall Lily, and so beautiful," she said standing back to look at her the youngest in their group. Finally she saw Scorpius, she came right up to him and squeezed him tight in a hug,

"Oh Scorpius! We've been so excited to meet you! Rose and Albus have told us so much about you." Scorpius was still in shock from the hug, he couldn't believe this woman was so pleased to meet him. Someone she'd never met, not to mention, a Malfoy.

"Er, nice to meet you Mrs. Weasley," he said.

"Oh, call me Grandma Molly," she said though Scorpius had no intention of doing so whatsoever, "Now come inside dear, and meet everyone," Scorpius followed Mrs. Weasley into the small entrance into the most crowded dining room he had ever seen. There were at least two-dozen people talking, laughing, and greeting the newcomers, children old and young were running around with other, and various pets nipping at their heels. It was the absolute opposite of Malfoy Manor at the holidays, and Scorpius loved it.
