DISCLAIMER – JKR owns everything, and the idea is from cecelia ahern.
Dear Rosie,
I know you will probably want to burn this letter and I don't blame you. I have been the most insensitive prick in history. All those years ago, when you asked me to the leavers ball, I thought I was lucky. Rosie Weasley had chosen me over Scorpius. That night was a mistake, we both knew at the time it was a one off, we were too drunk and you were plainly in love with someone else. So when you told me you were pregnant...i don't know. I guess all I can say is I've spent the last 13 years in denial.
I turned 30 last month, and I realized I have nothing to show for it, no money, no family, no happiness. But I do have a little girl, I've never met her, I don't know what her voice sounds like, what colour her eyes are, does she look like me, or even what house she's in at Hogwarts?
I'd like to know these things and more. I realize that I can never make up for the thirteen years of neglect, I should have supported you but I was a kid. So i reacted how a child would - I ran away and spent the years traveling around, seeing the world and so many amazing things.
I know I should have come home long ago and seen the only thing I am proud of. Ivy.
Give me a chance to get to know her, I know its more than I deserve but I want to try and correct some of the mistakes I've in my life.
Please contact me.
Adam.
Scorpius,
I'm back on the 23rd! I'll be picking Ivy up from Kings cross then heading over my parents. Dave couldn't get the time off work, he said he'll come over for a couple of weeks in august. Don't die of excitement, ok?
For the first time in 13 years we'll be living in the same country. Quite the novelty!
I can't wait to see Jeth', how's the job? How's Millie?
I need your advice on something…Adam wrote to me. He seems really sincere and kept apologizing, he want to meet Ivy. What do you think?
All my love,
Rosie
Scorpius…
You can stick with the silent treatment forever, I know you don't like it but he is her father, and I'm going to give him a chance.
I can't believe you Rosie, you are being such a mug, you gave up everything for that girl. You are the one who stayed up all night feeding, comforting her, changing her shitty nappies, cleaning up vomit, wiping shit on your forehead. Where was he?
Where was he, when you went on countless meetings at school? Gave up your dream of med school and took that awful job? You had to explain to her why Robbie had a daddy and she didn't. You have spent the last thirteen years wiping up the snot, shit and tears for that wonderful girl. He thinks he can just waltz back into you lives, the only reason he's even involved is a ten minute shag in the bushes when you were seventeen. He doesn't deserve Ivy and he doesn't deserve your trust. He buggered off when you told him, ran off, thirteen years, not a peep, not card on Ivy's birthday or money to support her. You never asked for a knut off him, you raised his daughter on your own, and I bet if you tell Ivy about him she will want to meet him. We both know he will let her down and just cause more hurt, and who will have to clean it up?
YOU, Rosie, you.
Stop letting people walk all over you.
Do the right thing!
Scorpius
Ivy is the best thing in my life, I want her to be happy, she's upset enough that I've moved to France. I'm giving her the decision, if she wants to meet him she can, and he will understand that its all under her terms.
I don't appreiciate all this neglect Rosie.
How's life in France? I miss getting into trouble at work with you.
How's Ivy doing at Hogwarts, bet she doesn't love so much anymore.
Lots of love
Annie…remember me? No, didn't think so!
How did it go? What did he do? What did he say? What's he like now?
Scorpius
I wanted to punch that bastard from the moment I saw him. Otherwise it went fine, Ivy is usually the most bollshy outright person I know, but she was shaking like shitting dog! More nervous than me, so I put my anger aside and brought my daughter and her father together. We shared little stories, about Ivy growing up, and Adam's travels. I will never like the man but I think I can learn to put up with him if he's serious about taking responsibility.
You'll be pleased to hear that Adam is going bald, and he's trying to hide it with a very poorly performed patch charm, he's also a lot more…rounded…than I remember. He hasn't got a lot of money, but he paid for lunch, and gave Ivy 10 galleons as we left. He's back in England, managing a shop in Diagon Alley, living with his parents too. Who are dying to me Ivy.
You and Jeth' coming over for tea tonight? Mum's making Lasagne, Ha! I sound about seven!

Rosie,
Sorry works really busy, I wont be able to make it back for that week.
How's it going?
Love
Dave
Ivy,
I'm going back to France for a couple of days, spur of the moment type thing, I didn't think you'd want to come. You've got your father and Robbie to hang out with.
I'll be back on Thursday.
Love you,
Mum

Scorpius,
We need to talk.
Can you come over tonight?
Millie
