It was 11:58 and Scorpius was supposed to come at 12. She hoped he wouldn't be late; her mom was a very punctual person. At exactly 12pm, she heard a knock on the door. Thank Merlin he's on time, she thought. She was about to go up to answer the door, but her father beat her there first. He wagged his eyebrows in a "ha-ha I got there first" sort of way, and he opened the door.

"Hello Mr. Weasley, I'm Scorpius Malfoy." She watched as her father stepped aside and her boyfriend enter the room. He was dressed in dark jeans and blue tee shirt that complimented his eyes. Her stomach did flip-flops as she watched them shake hands.

"Very nice to meet you, Scorpius. This is my wife, Hermione" Rose hadn't seen her mother enter the room and tried to study her face. Her mother was wearing a big smile and shook his hand politely while muttering words of welcome. Rose watched as Scorpius pulled a bouquet of Gerber Daisies, her mothers favorite flowers, from behind his back with a flourish while also pulling out a bottle of her fathers favorite fire whiskey.

"Good man," her father said while clapping him on the back, "Let's go sit down and talk a bit before everyone else gets here." They all made their way towards the small living room and sat in awkward silence for a few moments before the boys started talking about Quidditch. Luckily there was another knock on the door a few minutes later and the rest of her family came in. While James and Lily had looks of surprise splattered across their faces, Al went right up to Scorpius and invited him to come play Quidditch with them, which he happily agreed to.

Bloody hell, she didn't tell me that her entire bloody family was going to be here, Scorpius thought as he walked out with the younger boys. They all mounted their broomsticks and started playing.

"So, you and my sister are together then, yeah?" Hugo asked. He had never talked to Scorpius before and he wasn't surprised that the first thing Hugo would say to him would be about his sister.

"Yeah, we are." He watched as James, Albus and Hugo exchanged looks before James spoke.

"You know if you hurt her, we kill you." Scorpius was a little taken aback at such words coming from the younger boy but knew exactly what he wanted to say.

"I would never hurt her. She's a really special girl and I'm the luckiest bloke in the world for her to even give me a chance." He knew he said the right thing because Hugo broke out in a huge smile and blushed to the tips of his hair, the same blush his sister has.

"So tell me more about yourself, Scorp. That's what we're going to call you from now on, Scorp." James raised his eyebrows quite high at the last statement, which made Scorpius chuckle to himself.

"Sounds good. Well, I'm a Slytherin but not a bad guy despite my father's childhood career of. I love Quidditch and school, I don't drink fire whisky yet and I'm thinking of becoming an Auror."

"How many girls have you kissed?" Asked Al, much to his surprise. He should have seen these types of questions coming, though. He would have asked the same if the situation was reversed.

"Well, I've kissed Rose and two other girls my fifth year. I didn't like the other girls, though. Some friends and I went to a muggle party during the summer holiday and everyone was playing some silly game called "Spin the Bottle". You spin a soda bottle and whoever it lands on you have to kiss, full on the mouth."

"But you didn't like those girls? Not one bit?" Hugo asked curiously, to which Scorpius just shook his head.

"There's no one for me but your sister." He said quietly. He locked eyes with Hugo, who looked at Albus, who looked at James for approval.

"Hurt her, even a paper cut, and you'll be crucioed out of your mind, got it?"

"Got it."

"Good, cause we like you Scorp. We wouldn't want to have to hurt you, because we will." James looked at him with such a stony expression that was cancelled out a bit with his warm smile. Mrs. Weasleys calling them into lunch interrupted the rest of the conversation. The boys were content with their conversation but Scorpius had a feeling that there were still more to come, and he was right. While the younger boys went upstairs for lunch, Scorpius sat with Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley.

"So, let's get down to business shall we?" asked Mr. Weasley. Scorpius knew he was an Auror so he had to have some sort of skill in drilling people. He knew his safest bet was to answer with "Yes, sir" or "No, sir" Sooner than he thought, the questions began.

"Do you like my daughter?"

"Yes, sir."

"Are you just trying to get into her pants?"

"No, sir."

"So are you saying you don't want to have any sexual relations with my daughter?"

"I do, sir. Just not right now, sir. We're young and our relationship is good without it, sir"

Before Mr. Weasley could shove another question down his throat, Mr. Potter started giggling.

"What is it, Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked Mr. Potter impatiently.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just that you're scaring the kid, Ron. He's clearly a nice guy."

"Let me do my stuff, Harry."

Mr. Potter then made a hand gesture as letting Mr. Weasley continue.

"Are you still a virgin?"

At this, Scorpius almost spit up the tea he was in the process of drinking. He recovered quickly to answer the question.

"Yes I am, sir."

At his answer, Mr. Weasley leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head.

After a few moments of compatible silence, Mr. Potter spoke.

"You seem like a good bloke, Scorpius. Doesn't he, Ron?" Mr. Potter looked at Mr. Weasley who nodded, which brought a smile to Scorpius' face.

"Thank you Mr. Potter."

"Mmm, anytime. How's your family? Everything good?"

Scorpius was honestly surprised to hear Mr. Potter ask about his parents. He knew that they never got along while they were at Hogwarts and thought it was polite of him to ask.

"They're great, actually. They're currently away on a vacation and they'll be returning in a week or two."

Mr. Potter looked up in surprise, as did Mr. Weasley.

"So you're staying home alone then?" Mr. Potter in a tone of surprise.

"Mhm it's alright, though. I'm quite used to it, as my parents go away often."

An uncomfortable look appeared on Mr. Potters face and Mr. Weasley cleared his throat before he spoke.

"Well, you're always welcome here."

Scorpius snapped his head up, almost not believing what he heard. Does this mean that he got her fathers approval? He tried to catch Mr. Weasleys eye and when he did they both broke out into warm smiles. Before he could thank him, the women came out with the food.

The lunch was wonderful and the conversation went swimmingly without any awkward pauses. Scorpius had never seen what Mrs. Potter looked like and could see parts of her in Lily. He also spent time observing the way that the Weasleys and the Potters acted around each other. He could tell that they were madly in love, they mutually respect each other, and they were happy being together all of the time. Deep down, he knew that's what he wanted when he got married and couldn't help but picturing him and Rose where her parents were. The thought made his stomach turn and could feel his cheeks start to warm.

I wonder what's been happening, Rose thought. She had a nice conversation with her mother and Aunt Ginny about Scorpius and school, among other things. She was wondering when they would approach him and wondered what her father and uncle said to him. She hoped that he was taking everything well. She couldn't get over how adorable he looked and kept wishing that they had two minutes alone. Not being able to kiss or hold him for a week and then having him right in front of her and still not being able to do anything is torture. Unfortunately right after lunch her mother asked him to come in the kitchen with her. Merlin please let her go easy on him.

He knew what was coming; he wasn't stupid. While he had already gotten by with her father, it seemed like her mother was the main one to please. He hoped, at the minimum, the questions wouldn't be as personal as Mr. Weasleys were. He wasn't surprised when Mrs. Potter joined them in the room and went to stand by Mrs. Weasley

"So Scorpius," she started, "tell me about yourself."

He cleared his throat and tried to calm the color starting to rush to his face.

"What do you want to know, Mrs. Weasley?"

She went silent for a moment and a look of seriousness came over her, the same for Mrs. Potter.

"Well, how long have you and Rose been together?" Mrs. Potter asked.

"Um, well, around 7 ½ months."

Mrs. Weasleys eyes widened, "That's a long time. Are you planning on doing anything for your one year coming up?"

"Well, I gave her a ring, a promise ring, right after Christmas and I know she loved that, so after that I'm all out of ideas. I want to do something really special because she deserves it, but I don't exactly know what."

Now it was Mrs. Potter's turn to widen her eyes and smile, "A promise ring? So you're serious about her, then?"

He knew his face was bright red at this point, but knew exactly what to say.

"Yes, I am. She makes me feel like I've never felt before and I care about her more than anything. I love her, but I haven't told her yet. I want everything to be absolutely perfect."

Mrs. Weasley had tears in her eyes and walked over and hugged him.

"That's so nice, Scorpius. Anything you need, you ask us okay? Anything"

After hours of "family bonding" and "meeting the parents", Rose and Scorpius had a few moments alone to go for a walk in the yard.

"So, how'd today go? Was my family too hard on you?" She intertwined their fingers and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"No of course not. They're really sweet and love you a lot." He stopped to give her a kiss on the nose and then kept walking. He had to ask her something but had been too afraid to ask inside the house.

"Do you think they like me?"

This made her stop in her tracks, which he first took as a bad sign.

"Absolutely! How could they not? Especially when I like you so much" She smiled at the last comment and leaned into kiss him. Their lips met and, what started out as a slow, sweet kiss, quickly turned into one filled with desire and longing. She wrapped her arms around his neck and felt his arms lock around her waist, bringing their bodies that much closer. Their kiss deepened and they were starting to get to the point of no return. While they didn't mind, she knew her parents would. With more strength than she had she pulled away and started walking back towards the house hand in hand.

This really was the perfect day, she thought, now I just have to meet his parents and everything will go well…right?
