Hello, sorry it has been a while I had an exam on Monday and I have been working on this chapter for ages. Nevertheless, something about Rose is difficult to write and so this chapter may seem all over the place, it is quite a bit shorter than the other one-shots in this series, only approximately 1500 words. The next will be longer and will be about Victoire's first year at Hogwarts. I think that any scenario written in Hogwarts will be will be written mostly as a series of letters, but will still be 2000 words long at least.

Thank you to Guest for reviewing, and to my silent 250+ readers. It's appreciated, even if you don't review.

As usual, anything you recognise will belong to J.K .Rowling

Ron was a hero. Not because her he had helped win a war between light and dark, but because he had taught her how to play chess, he would sneak her sweets when she got into trouble, he taught her how to ride a broom and always told jokes. He was simply amazing in Rose's eyes and she hated to do anything to disappoint him.

When Rose was eleven, she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Despite Victoire also being in Ravenclaw, Lucy and Ted had been put into Hufflepuff. Roxanne had been sorted into Slytherin and uncle George and Aunty Angie had not minded that at all, all of her other cousins, apart from Lily and Hugo, had been sorted into Gryffindor. She knew the her dad would be happy for her wherever she went, well except maybe Slytherin, she was still disappointed that she was unable to follow her father's footsteps into Gryffindor. She had been terrified to write home to her dad the next day:

To Dad, mum and Hugo

Hogwarts is brilliant. I am sorry I am in Ravenclaw. The food is wonderful and I hope you are not missing me too much. Victoire has already had to have words with Jimmy, Roxy and Al' on the train over. Roxy hexed James for calling Slytherins evil and slimy and for saying that it was where Al' would find himself. Al' found himself in Gryffindor, but the hat took ages so I do not think it was the hat's first choice for him.

I hope you are not disappointed that I am not in Gryffindor as you were. Can I still come home for Christmas?

Love Rose.

The reply to that letter had been a long discussion about the benefits of Ravenclaw. How neither of her parents had been at all disappointed in her and how her mother had almost been in Ravenclaw. Ron sent her a separate letter too, accompanied by a box filled with sweets and pranks, as well as a camera and a photo album. The letter stated that though Ron was very proud of his daughter for being in the house of the clever and witty that she should not forget to have fun. The sweets were to share with her friends and the prank items were to make the other 'claws laugh and if she wanted, they were to also set pranks on her cousins. The camera was for evidence and the photo album was for memories.

In after her fifth year Ron had set her up with a part time job at the apothecary, just taking inventory , only worth 14s 15k which was the minimum wage for people without their OWLs. Ron had done this so she would not be stressing about the coming results, as her mother had. The downside was that Scorpius Malfoy was a regular as soon as he realised she worked at the apothecary,

"Know you've failed your OWLs already posie?"

"Shut It Malfoy, just because you're happy sailing on your granddad's apron strings like your dad!"

"Don't Talk about things you don't know posie."

"Well piss off then idiot!"

Rose hated dealing with the idiot, he was a stuck up arrogant berk who needed to stop harassing her and following her around.

Then her Owls had come:

Ancient Runes: O

Arithmancy: O

Astronomy: O

Care of Magical Creatures: A

Charms: E

Defence Against Dark Arts: O

Herbology: O

History: E

Potions: O

Transfiguration: E

Hermione had been so proud of her. The fact Rose had scored higher than Hermione in Ancient Runes was a source of amusement for Ron.

Today however, three weeks before Rose graduated from Hogwarts she had received a horrid letter,

Rosie,

Your dad and Uncle Harry have managed to put themselves in Saint Mungo's after a mission they were on for the Aurors. The only thing we know fully is that the both of them got hit with a stray curse but we do not know which one.

Aunty Ginny says that they will be fine, your mum is staying over, watching them for the night, and that it will be her turn tomorrow. There is no need to worry but Aunty Ginny says we should tell you anyway. I am sending another letter to Albus, Lily and Hugo.

Do not worry about coming home, you'll be fine in Hogwarts and the hospital think that the both of them will be out and about soon, but not allowed to go on any missions, which means that Uncle Harry will be grumpy and wind up Aunty Ginny.

We will all be there for your graduation

Love Teddy x.

Luckily, Rose's dad had recovered. The entire family filled up five rows when they all came along to watch, her Uncle Harry wearing a bandage across one eye, and her own dad had a cane in his hand and leant on her mother. His face still held a black eye but he had smiled and waved at her none the less.

Now, three years after graduation, Rose sat at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for her other half to change the shirt he had been wearing. They were off to see her parents, staying the night before going over to his parents to give them some good news.

"Right love, shall we brave the masses?" he took her hand in his and led the way to the door.

"Sure," She looked up, into the deep pools of blue – grey, and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Remind me again why it's my parents we have to tell first."

"Well, flower," Rose scowled at the nickname, lightly tapping her boyfriend on the arm as he smirked at her. "You're mother appreciates intelligence, and as a past Ravenclaw I have intelligence. However, on the other hand, your father can be rash. He loves you and you are his only daughter. I, as a boyfriend, am stealing you away in the night. It also doesn't help that I'm a Malfoy this pretty much means my death…"

"Oh don't worry; we're off to my Grandma Molly's house for tea tonight so my mum will not be cooking for us." Rose but in,

Scorpius laughed slightly, pecking Rose on the lips. "Yes, well anyway, as a member of the light side of society and a chivalrous Gryffindor, I'm counting on him being forced, by his own natural instincts, to allow me to spend this last night alive before being killed in my sleep, peacefully tomorrow in the early hours of the morning. "

"Oh don't you worry about a thing Scorp' Grandma Molly will demand good behaviour, and she definitely disproves of homicide in her house. Your family though..." Rose's eyebrows arched. As she leant into Scorpius' chest and squeezed tight, he returned the hug,

"Yes, well at least we'll die together, in each other's arms." Rose burst into a laughter that was halfway between nervousness and hilarity. As the couple apparated, away there was a tiny glint of white as the sun caught the ring on Rose's finger.
