Ch. 14: Argument
"Why him?" Dad asked. "You could have anyone you want. "Why him."
"Dad, I love him. I loved him since I was 15."
"I forbid it." Dad said. Mum gasped. Hugo put his head on the table.
"I don't care. I'm going to marry him. It doesn't matter what you say." I started to cry.
"What does his parents say?" Dad asked.
"His parents are dead. I told him. I wipe away the tears.
"Dad, can I ask you a question." He nodded. "Why don't you want me happy?" I felt the tears coming down my face.
"I do want you happy. Just does it have to be with Draco Malfoy's son."
"Dad, it doesn't matter what the parents does. It matter on what kind of person they are." I run out of the room.

"Dad, have you seen them together?"
Dad shook his head. "No."
"I haven't seen her this happy for eight years. After they broke up. Do you remember that it took Rose months before she talk to you."
"How do I know that he not using her?" Dad asked.
"Ask him yourself. I'm tired of trying to defend their love to you." I got up and left the room.
I found Rose in her room. "Rose." I said softly.
"Hugo why is dad like this?"
"I don't know." I went and put my arms around her and let her cry on my shoulder.

"Ronald." I say.
"Don't start, Hermione."
"Ron, our daughter loves this man. You broke them up eight years ago. She more happy now then before. She going to marry him if we like it or not. Do you want to see your grandchild? I don't want to lose her again." I start crying. I felt Ron's arms around me.
"I'm sorry. How do I know if he treating her well." Ron said.
I turn to him. "You can ask him." I gave him a kiss. "I love you. But we have to trust our daughter and let her know we are here for her."
Ron nodded. I push from his arms and go find the kids.

"Yeah. How Dad?" I asked.
"He warming up. He and I would like to have you and Scorpius for dinner."
I nodded, "Yeah that would be fine."
