Hermione placed the casserole gingerly onto the table. The food was devoured in no time.
As was tradition with the Weasly family, after dinner, they would sit and talk about their day.
"Mum, Dad, I have something to tell you," Rose began. Ron looked up interestedly, and Hermione urged her to go on.
"I've been dating Scorpius Malfoy in secret for the last year!" Rose blurted. Hermione gasped dramatically, Hugo snickered, and Ron's face turned purple.
"Rose, we told you to stay away from those Malfoys!" Ron began ranting to his daughter, and soon it became a heated argument with raised voices.
Hermione sighed. This was not how dinnertime was supposed to go.
"Ron, I think Rose should be able to date who she wants," Hermione interjected, Rose nodding furiously.
Ron groaned in annoyance. "He's a Malfoy! Couldn't you have had better taste?!"
Hermione raised an eyebrow. "What if I was a Malfoy? Would you have still loved me?"
Ron blushed, and after a few tense moments, sputtered a hesitant yes. Hermione glared at him before getting up and taking Rose with her.
"Don't listen to your insensitive father. Rose, I think it's fine if you date Scorpius."
Ron was left at the table with a very dejected look.
A/N: A continuation of the third chapter on onions. (Kinda.) I also hinted at Scorrose; I couldn't help it!
