Ten Things about Rose Nymphadora Weasley
1. Rose shared many things with mum: intelligence, perseverance, focus; but something Rose didn't share with her mum was how she looked. Growing up she was told she looked her dad. The red hair and the blue eyes being a dead give away. One day, a few years after Hogwarts, she was in her mothers' office with her back facing the door waiting for her mother to return; she heard a familiar drawl, "Dyed your hair to fit into the family, Weasley." Rose turned around and raised an eyebrow at Draco Malfoy. "Rose," he said surprised, "Goodness you look like your mother." Then walked away embarrassed muttering about putting foots in mouths. Rose nonetheless was pleased.
2. Albus was her best friend. Hugo was great but he had Lily and she had Albus. As kids, they would play for hours. Alex Longbottom came over sometimes and then Rose would have to share, but she didn't mind sharing Albus with Alex. But when they all went to Hogwarts, suddenly Scorpius Malfoy became Albus's friend. Rose began to mind. This is probably the reason that she and Scorpius didn't get along till half way through 4th year when Albus and Alex locked them in the Charms classroom and told them to sort it out.
3. Sixth year the week before spring break, a little after midnight, Rose had raced to the Charms classroom after getting an owl from Scorpius telling her that he needed to talk to her and that it was important. She hadn't even changed out of her plaid sleeping shorts and white tank top. She found Scorpius outside the classroom and frantically began to ask questions.
"Is everything okay? What happened? Are your parents okay? Scorpius, answer me."
"Rose …" he trailed off. Rose got irritated at his lack of response.
"Scorpius what in Merlin's name did you call me down here for if you weren't going to say anything," she demanded. Her hair sprawled out over her shoulders
reaching her waist, hands on her hips she looked positively murderous. After staring at a mute Scorpius for a few more seconds, "I'm leaving if you regain
your speech you know where to find me."
She began to leave when he grabbed her, pushed her against the wall and preceded snogged the living daylights out of her. They were ultimately separated
when they heard, "Bloody hell, my eyes!" Rose looked over to see James and Elizabeth. "Please Oblivate me," James continued to Elizabeth, "Merlin have
mercy."
Needless to say Rose and Scorpius were sent back to their respective dorms. Scorpius walked her back to the Gryffindor common room, during which she learned that Scorpius had actually planned out what to say but lost all ability to speak when he saw her.
4. The "talk" is normally given by a parent and depending on the parent it is either extremely awkward or just general conversation. In Rose's case the talk was given by Headmistress McGonagall. She and Scorpius had been called in after they received Head Students and offered them a biscuit. Then dived head first into a conversation about not having sex in the Head's Common Room. Rose had choked on her biscuit and turned red staring at the 100+ lady who had just said sex. She had looked over at Scorpius who seemed to be squirming his chair. Rose could not look McGonagall in the face for next two weeks. Easily the most embarrassing moment in her life.
5. Her relationship with Scorpius had been nothing but public. Everyone knew when they had gotten together. How they had spent their first date. But what people didn't know is that right after NEWTs Rose had attempted to break off the relationship. Rose knew she was in too deep and Scorpius being in too deep would only complicate the problem. She knew he was close with his family and she refused to be what came between them. Even if it was at the expense of her own happiness. When Scorpius came into the Head Common Room, she sat him down and explained everything. Scorpius refused and told her that they would fight together for their future, not the future everyone expected them to have.
6. Upon graduating Rose went on to become a Legal Ambassador. She got to constantly travel and, at the same time, work in the same department as her mum. Four years into her job, she took a two-month assignment in Prague, where she didn't have contact with anyone outside her team in Prague. Aching to go home at the end of assignment, her team decided to take a detour to the Netherlands and ended up in a small town named Maastricht. They roamed streets when Rose caught sight of someone who looked like Albus. She walked over to get a closer look but the person moved. She began to follow him trying to get a better look. When she could finally see his face he entered into a cathedral. She ran across the road and into the empty cathedral and realized it was a bookstore with a bookcase that reached the ceiling. She saw Albus on the second level, she shouted out for him but he just climbed the next set of stairs. Rose climbed all three sets of staircase till she reached the top with Albus nowhere in sight she began to roam the bookcases. Realizing that all the books were in Dutch she began to make her way back down the stairs to the main road, when something caught her eye. It was a Romeo and Juliet book in English laying flat among the standing Dutch books. She picked up and opened it. Inside on a blue post-it note read, "Let's write a different ending." Before she had even time to process, someone behind her said, "What do you say?" She turned around to face Scorpius. He smiled pulled out a box from his back pocket. Rose stared wide-eyed at him and dropped the book as she brought her hand to her mouth in surprise. Scorpius grinned as he knelt down and waited for her response. "Well" he smiled. Rose nodded and he dutifully slipped the ring on her finger.
7. She was scared to death when she met Malfoys for the first time after the engagement. She could handle Draco and Astoria that wasn't the problem. She was dreading Scorpius's grandfather, Lucius. At the beginning of dinner, Lucius did make some snide remarks before his wife asked to speak with him privately and then the remarks ended. At the end of the evening, Narcissa caught her eying Lucius with some apprehension and told her just make sure bear great-grandchildren and Lucius would be fine. Rose choked on her tea and looked up to see Narcissa looking quite pleased with herself.
8. Rose and Scorpius were the first Malfoy couple in ten generations not have their wedding at the Malfoy Manor. Their wedding took place on the grounds of Hogwarts. A place that held not only their memories but everyone in the wedding parties'. Rose could not have asked for more when her father walked her across the grounds to the bank of the lake where Scorpius standing right under beech tree.
9. Names. She and Scorpius decided that they would continue with Black tradition after much protest from Scorpius. Their first child was a son, whom they named Delphinus Ptolemy Malfoy. Everyone had a comment about the name. Lucius even muttered that it was a strong name, which pleased Rose. Their second child was a girl, Cassiopeia Helena Malfoy. Everyone called her Cassie or Pia expect Scorpius who insisted on calling her Sweet Pea. Their last child another girl, Lyra Alexandria Malfoy. Once again, Scorpius gave his girl a flower nickname of Bluebell because Lyra was the only one to have inherited Rose's blue eyes.
10. During their marriage, Rose and Scorpius had several bets going on. Some of which included that Albus's son Aidan and James's son Jasper would fall in love with red heads; how if they had daughters that their son would be protective; amongst other silly aspects. Rose made a bet that Scorpius would outlive her. Scorpius was furious and bet against her, which seldom happened. On her deathbed, Rose reached her hand out to Scorpius, which he took, and said, "I bet I love you more." Scorpius shook his head and said, "I bet against you." They both chuckled and a few weeks later Rose passed. Scorpius died two short months later.
