Rose let out a curse as she hit her toe on her trunk. She shook her head; she wasn't going to need it. They were leaving tomorrow after class and coming back Sunday afternoon. She checked her bag one more time before closing her trunk. There were only odds and ends that she needed to pack tomorrow.
She made her way downstairs to find that Scorpius was sitting at his desk, studying. She went over to him and looked over his shoulder to see what he was working on. It looked like potions. She ran a hand over his hair that made him look up at her. He gave her a smile and moved back so she could sit on his lap. Scorpius wrapped an arm around her.
"Everything okay up there?" Scorpius asked.
"Yeah," Rose nodded. "Are you ready to leave tomorrow?" She asked him. Scorpius nodded. She leaned her head on his shoulder. "I would rather spend the weekend with you, studying."
"I know but think of this as a break and when we get back it's the final stretch for our NEWTs and going home for our own wedding," Scorpius whispered the last part in her ear. Rose quivered because their wedding was a little more two months away. She was getting an owl almost every other day from her mum or Astoria about final details for the wedding. She couldn't wait for the wedding so that will be over, but she was also nervous that it was so close.
"This is one of the reasons that I love you," Rose leaned down and kissed him. Saying I love you had come easier after the first time they said it to each other. "Remember that you will be staying with us for the wedding."
"I know because I have to share a room with Hugo," Scorpius winked because they both knew that he would be sleeping in her room. Rose laughed. She had a feeling that her parents (at least her mum) knew that Scorpius was sleeping in her room from past visits. "Help me study for potions," Scorpius turned back to his books.
The nine Hogwarts students checked out with Professor Longbottom. They made their way pass the gates. They said goodbye to each other because there were three groups that were going to different places. Everyone got a good hold on their bags before disappearing. Al, Alice, and Lily were the first ones to leave. Hector, Roxanne, and Lucy were the next to leave. Scorpius had all three bags before disappearing. Rose made sure that she had a good hold on her brother before disappearing.
They appeared in front of the Weasley house to see Scorpius was greeting their parents. Rose let go of her brother before going to hug her parents. "Scorpius put the bags in the hall and meet us in the sitting room," Hermione led everyone in the house.
Ron, Hugo, and Hermione were the first ones through the fireplace. Rose waited for Scorpius before going through the fire. They entered the noisy Burrow. They could hear Molly Weasley yelling at someone. Rose and Scorpius moved out of the way so more people could come in. Rose went to find something to do, leaving Scorpius standing in the sitting room. He saw most of the guys outside, working on setting the tables up for dinner. He went outside to help them. He saw that the wedding party wasn't here. He took out his wand and helped Ron setting up the chairs for everyone to sit.
After the tables and chair were set up, people started to bring out food. The wedding party came in. Scorpius decide that it was time to find Rose. He found her standing there with her cousin, Vic.
"Happy belated birthday," Rose gave Vic a hug.
"Thank you," Vic laughed. She saw that Scorpius was standing next to her. There was a look in her eyes that had Scorpius worried. "Soon, this will be all you," Vic waved a hand over everything.
Rose rolled her eyes. "We are having the rehearsal dinner at the same place as the wedding. So, no one has to go crazy with cooking."
"Grandmum was going crazy?" Vic asked. She was part of the wedding party. Rose nodded.
"I glad that she is only doing the cake for us," Rose grabbed Scorpius' hand. Vic nodded before she could say anything, Teddy came to grab her hand and lead her to the food that was buffet style. "Come on," Rose led Scorpius to the food.
After getting their food, Scorpius and Rose found seats next to Hector and Roxanne. They were soon joined by Al, Alice, Lily, and Lucy. They spent the rest of the evening there. There was a speech by Bill, saying what an amazing daughter he had and how he was glad that she found Jonathan. He hoped that he would take care of his little girl, even those she was a strong woman. While her uncle was talking, Rose looked around to see where her father was. He was sitting with her mum and aunt and uncle. It was like he knew she was watching her when he turned and looked at Rose. He smiled because he was going to be doing this soon. Rose knew that it was going to he hard for him and he was going to miss her. Scorpius reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze to let her know that he was here.
The rest of the night was various family members and friends saying congratulation to the happy couple. The party soon broke up. Rose had lost Scorpius to her male cousins, and she found herself with her female cousins and friends. They started sharing stories about Dom and Jonathan. They were having a great time when the conversation turned to Rose and her wedding in a few months.
"Are you ready for all this?" Vic asked. There was a twinkle in her eye that Rose didn't like.
"No," Rose looked around the yard to see if she could find Scorpius.
"Don't worry about him," Dom said, she knew who Rose was looking for. "You'll be spending all your time with him once you are married.
"How would you know, oh wise one?" Roxanne asked. "You won't be married until tomorrow."
Dom gave her young cousin a look before turning back to Rose. "I think that you and Scorpius will be just fine."
"I know," Rose sighed. "I guess that I just want a little more time just the two of us before we have a baby."
Vic reached over. "I don't know how that will be, but I remember some words that Grandmum gave me: 'Remember that you are husband and wife first and find time to spend just the two of you.'"
Rose nodded and smiled. "She would know," The other girls laughed. Rose remember times when she and Hugo would spend the night at someone else house just so her parents have some time alone. "I think that is something to remember," She looked at Vic and Dom since they were the only ones that were married or soon to be married. Rose had a feeling that Vic and Teddy were trying for a baby.
Rose felt better talking to her cousins about having a baby right away. During this time, she and Scorpius are going to have to enjoy the time that it is just the two of them. Before any of them knew it, it was time to leave. Rose made her way to the fireplace to see Scorpius and the rest of her family were there waiting for her. They went to through the fireplace and everyone went upstairs to bed because tomorrow was going to be a big day for them.
"Scorpius," Rose said after Scorpius had made his way to her room after everyone went to sleep. He looked up from his pillow. "I know that we are going to have a baby soon after we are married, but I want us to remember us and find time for us," Scorpius wrapped his arms around her waist to let her know that he was agreement.
Rose entered the venue with the rest of her family. The place was huge. Rose could tell that Dom had outdone herself. Rose could tell Dom's wedding's colors (blue and purple), but it wasn't too loud for her. Rose followed her family to their seats. Between the Delacours and the Weasleys they took up most of the bride's side. Rose was nervous, but she wasn't the one who was getting married. Scorpius gave her hand a squeeze like he knew what was going through her head.
"Why I am so nervous? This is not my wedding," Rose leaned closer to Scorpius.
"We are next," Scorpius leaned closer to her. "It's going to seem closer after your cousin's wedding." Rose nodded.
Rose watched everyone take a seat and waited for the wedding to start. A wizard stepped up on the platform, he took a breath before nodding to the string quartet. The string quartet started to play. Jonathan walked out with his best man. A little boy dressed in a little suit, who didn't look very happy about wearing the suit. Next him was a little girl in a white dress, who looked happy with her flower basket. They made their way to the front and took their place. Rose watched Vic come out with a smile as she makes her way to the front.
The music changed and everyone stood to see the bride. Dom came out on Uncle Bill's arms. Dom eyes went straight for Jonathan and didn't see anyone else. There were tears in Uncle Bill's eyes as he walked Dom down the aisle. He smiled at his wife. When they reached Jonathan, Bill places Dom's hand in Jonathan and he kissed her on cheek. Uncle Bill took a seat next Aunt Fleur.
Rose watched Dom and not the man that was talking. Her cousin looked so happy. There was a look on Jonathan's face, that told them that this is where he wanted to be. It was like they were the only ones in the room. Each of them gave their own vows. The vows were sweet and brought tears to Rose. She reached for Scorpius' hand and he gave her a squeeze. They exchanged rings and they wizard did the bounding before announcing Jonathan and Dom husband and wife.
Jonathan and Dom left the room. "Please stand," Everyone stood, and the wizard waved his wand. Tables appeared and the chairs position themselves around them. A long table appeared at the front with six chairs. Vic and the best man take a seat at the head table with their dates. "Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Cameron," The wizard said. Dom and Jonathan come in with smiles on their faces. The wizard left as Dom and Jonathan took their seats. Everyone took their seats.
Soon after food appeared on the plates. Everyone started to talk. Scorpius leaned over to Rose. "I think that we should write our own vows for the wedding."
"Are you crazy?" Rose hissed. "We only have two months before we are to be married. We still must finish school, get ready for our new home. I don't think that we have the time."
Scorpius smiled. "Crazy in love," He kissed the side of her head. "With you. Come on, it will be fun." Rose rolled her eyes, didn't answer, and turned to her brother to talk to him.
Dinner was finished and the best man gave his speech that made everyone laugh. Jonathan led Dom to the dance floor for the first dance. Rose watched her cousin, who looked so in love with her husband. She felt Scorpius grab her and led her on the dance floor. It was a slow song and Rose leaned her head on Scorpius shoulder as danced around the room. She saw her parents dance right pass them and saw that her mum was laughing. It had Rose shaking her head at them.
"If everyone could leave the dance floor, it is time for the father/daughter dance," The DJ said after a few dances. Scorpius led her to her father, who was next Harry and Lily. Ron smiled when he saw Rose. They watched Bill lead Dom on the dance floor. They danced for a minute before other dads led their daughters on the floor.
Ron led Rose into a turn when he would normally Rose would laugh. He leaned closer to his daughter. "Is there something on your mind?" He asked.
Rose glanced around them to see who was round them before sighing. "Scorpius wants us to do our own vows. I don't think that we will have time t do it. After the wedding we must finish school, do final planning for the wedding, and get the house ready to move in." Rose hoped that her dad would agree with her.
"I think that you should do it," Ron said. Rose gave him a look. "Your mother and I did. I don't remember the words we said, but I remember the feelings as the words were said. I remember wiping a tear away from your mum's cheek and that was twenty years ago."
Rose looked at her father too see that it was twenty years ago, and he was wiping a tear of her mum's cheek. "Alright, I'll do it," Rose rolled her eyes, but there was a smile on her face. The song ended and Ron leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
"I love you," He led her off the dance floor.
Later that night Rose told Scorpius that they could do their own vows.
