Chapter Eleven:

Christmas break seem to come faster that year. I climbed on the train, holding Scorpius' hand. I was so nervous, even though we had a plan.

Scorpius and I climbed into a cabin with James, Albus, Lily, and Hugo. I sat in between Lily and Scorpius.

The whole ride, James kept sending me looks, I felt like my lungs were going to blow up, I couldn't breath. None of us talked, we were all to nervous.
When the train stopped, I hugged Scorpius. "It's okay." He said, kissing me on the cheek.
"GAH!" James cried.

I stuck my tongue out and pulled my cart down. I pushed it forward. "Scorpius wait for my signal."
Scorpius nodded, and I turned and pushed the cart off the train. My heart picked up, I felt sick, my hands sweated.

Like usual our parents were standing together, but this time two extra people stood with them

"Teddy! Victoire!" I cried running towards them. Victoire laughed and took me into a hug.

"Hey Teddy." Albus smiled.
"What's up Al?" Teddy asked.

"Nothing much." Albus said.

"Hello Rosie." My dad smiled.
"Hi dad." I said letting him give me a hug.
"Rose what about me?" My mom laughed. I gave her a hug.

"Oh how I've missed you and your brother. It's so quiet at home." My mom smiled.

"Are you sure you have missed Hugo?" I asked.

"HEY!" Hugo cried.

I smiled, "Just kidding Hugo, I love you." I patted him on the head.

"How did Quidditch tryouts go?" Uncle Harry asked.

"Fine." James said.

"Great dad! I made Seeker, James made keeper, and Lily and Rose are Chasers." Albus said.

Dad laughed, "Hermione, the kids were lucky they don't have your Quidditch hating blood."
"I don't hate Quidditch Ron, I just don't like brooms."
Aunt Ginny laughed.
I sighed, and turned around, Scorpius was standing with his mother and father a few feet away from me, he turned his head and I caught his eye.

I pulled my wand out and whispered, "Lumos." It lit up, I waved it in a circle. Scorpius nodded.

I turned back to my parents and took a deep breath, Albus nudged James in the arm and both stepped back to flank my sides. Protection.

"Mom, dad can I talk to you? Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry this sort of applies to you too."

"What about Rosie?" My mom asked. I looked at Victoire who was staring behind me.

"It's well..." I stared.

"She is my girlfriend." A voice finished, Scorpius was standing behind me, his mother and father had their mouths wide open.

"Well, hello Draco." Uncle Harry said.

Scorpius' dad nodded. "Harry." He muttered.

"And good evening to you Astoria, this seems to have come to a shock to you too." Uncle Harry said.

Scorpius' mother nodded.

"What? Wait, step back Rose, how long have you been dating him?" Dad asked, his ears were turning red.

"Since the middle of last year."
"WHAT?" Dad screamed.

"Ron keep your voice down." Mom patted his shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell us Rose?" Mom asked.

"Because I knew dad do this." I pointed.

I looked at Scorpius' parents. His father had his arms crossed against his chest. His mother had her hand reached out for the collar of Scorpius' top, like at any second she would yank him away from me.

I shook my head, "You don't understand." I whispered.

"Rose, I understand, you went against my only rule, DON'T DATE A MALFOY! No you can't follow that, so you know where you will be all Christmas? Instead of the Burrow? You'll be at Shell Cottage, in the guest room, all alone." Dad screamed.

I felt the warm tears burn in my eyes, "It's not fair! You got to marry who you wanted, Uncle Bill got to marry who he wanted, You let your own sister marry your best friend! Victoire is going to marry Teddy! Albus gets to date Joanne! But me, the one guy I love, NO! I can't! Of course not! Of course you HATE me!" I screamed.

Tears poured down my face. "Oh Rose." Victoire said, her hand over her mouth, she reached for me. I gripped Scorpius' wrist.
"Don't touch me." I said.

"RON! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" My mom screamed.

"Hermione! She broke my rule!"
"You never ever said she couldn't fall in love!"

Aunt Ginny crossed her arms, "Ron, let the poor girl date him! You know it's sad, you let your sister and your best friend date and then get married, but when your own daughter, YOUR OWN DAUGHTER RONALD, that's just evil!"

"He's a Malfoy, Ginny, A MALFOY!" Dad cried.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Scorpius' dad asked.

Uncle Harry rolled his eyes, "I have no problem with this as long as your son will treat my niece right."

"I have a problem with it." Dad said crossing his arms.

"RON!" Aunt Ginny and mom screamed.

"I do." He said.

"Uncle Ron," Victoire said, "Please, please let Rose date Scorpius! I promise if he treats her wrong, I'll have Teddy beat him up."
Teddy laughed, "Yeah Uncle Ron, I gave Victoire a lot of grief before we started dating. But now I know you have to treat girls right, I can even have a "talk" with Scorpius."

"Do I get a word in this?" Scorpius asked.

"No!" My dad cried, as my mom and Aunt Ginny cried, "Yes."
Mom gave dad an evil glare, "Go on and talk Scorpius."
"Sir," Scorpius stared, "I love your daughter very, very much. It's breaks my heart to see her upset. I will do all in my power to make her happy. If we fight, I'll be begging for her forgiveness, I won't make her say sorry. I'll be like her slave. She could torture me. I swear to you, I'll treat Rose with all respect."

"Aww." Aunt Ginny, Victoire, and my mom said.

"And if you don't? If Rose comes crying home because you broke her heart?" My dad asked.

"Teddy, you, and Harry may beat me up. I'm sure James, Albus, and Hugo would enjoy giving me a bloody face. You could even snap my wand into bits." Scorpius said.

"What? No!" Astoria screamed.

"Mom! I'm being true." Scorpius said.

Dad glared at Scorpius, "Roll up your sleeves boy." He snapped.

Scorpius obeyed and pulled up his sleeves.
"Hmm, good." Dad said.

"So dad?" I asked.

Dad stared at Scorpius and then me and then back to Scorpius.

"Ron?" Hermione asked.

Dad waved her away. He bent down in front of me.

"Rose," He said, "you may date Scorpius."
It was a moment of silence, and then a huge cheer broke out!
"What are you celebrating over here?" A voice asked, I turned around

Pippa, Franky, and Joanne were smiling at us.
"The right to date Scorpius." I said.

Joanne laughed.

"Who are your friends?" Uncle Harry asked.

"Pippa and Franky Longbottom and Joanne Boot."

Uncle Harry smiled, "Why don't you ask your parents if your family can join us for Christmas."
The three nodded and took off.
Aunt Ginny rolled her eyes, "Better alert mom, not that she'll care she loves people."

We all laughed.

Pippa and Franky came running back with Uncle Neville and his wife.

"Yes!" Pippa cried.

Joanne came running over with her mom and dad.

"Cho?" Uncle Harry cried.

Joanne's mom smiled, "Hi Harry."

Aunt Ginny smiled, "Hello Cho, I haven't seen you in forever."
"Ginny, well hello." Joanne's mom said.
"So can you stay?" Uncle Harry asked.

"We would love to." Joanne's mom said.

We all laughed again.

"Can we go now?" Lily asked.

"Sure let's go." Uncle Harry said, I grabbed Scorpius' hand.

"This sure is a happy ending." Scorpius said.

"Sure is." I said.

"I think I like it." Scorpius said.

"I love it." I said, leaning against his shoulder.

As we walked out into the Muggle world, snow drifted down. It clung to my hair and Scorpius stuck out his tongue.

I laughed as we all ran for the safety of the cars.

"So where first?" Scorpius asked as he slid into the car beside me.

"The Burrow, for my grandma's meal. I hope your hungry, she claims everyone is not fat enough and she'll have you eat four helpings. That's for dinner and dessert."

Scorpius laughed.
Maybe I would get my happy ending after all.
