Chapter 5: The Letter and Malfoy Manor
I awoke from my deep slumber when someone shook me gently so that I would wake up. I opened my eyes and blinked a couple times before I met Scorpius's smiling eyes. I yawned and smiled back at him.
"Wow I didn't realize it was so late, sorry darling I fell asleep, this week has just drained all my energy. Well did you send your letter to your father yet or not?" I asked him.
"No I came down here to have you read it, so before I send I know that it sounds reasonable enough to send. I didn't know that I would find you down here asleep. I mean usually you enjoy the library love." He said smirking at me in his teasing nature, and softly ruffling my hair.
I slapped his hand away teasingly" Honestly Scorp, how many times do I have to explain to you how much I hate that, you know just because were dating doesn't mean you can push me around all the time." I said in teasing tone, while immaturely retaliating on him, by tackling him to the ground.
He looked up at me holding his hands up in defense as I placed a kiss to his lips, without even thinking that we could easily be caught. Luckily no one was there, and madam Pince was far too busy, in her office to even cast us her usual glare.
"Ok Rosie, but now please will you read my letter, it sounds good to me but I have to be sure I don't sound like a babbling idiot to my father, not that he would care, he'd love my letter regardless, I know you will love my father Rose, he's really a changed man. Your parents would never recognize my father besides his looks that have not changed. Anyways here you go Rosie." He said handing me the letter, and I began to read it to myself.
Dear Father,
As I had told you on my last letter, I have fallen in love with the most amazing girl, I have ever met, and I couldn't tell you before her name, because of the promise we made to one another, but I would like her to meet you, and you to meet her. I think you guys would hit it off right away, and I was wondering if it was alright if I brought her home tomorrow for this short break. Let me know if you are not ok with this immediately, if not I will see you tomorrow at 10 am.
Love Scorpius M.
P.S. she's very excited to meet you.
"That sounds great darling, why don't you go give it to your owl, so we can make are he is ok with this" I said feeling nervous about the meeting of Draco Malfoy, but Scorpius said he was a changed man, and I believed him.
Within less than an hour, his father replied, saying he was thrilled to finally be able to meet me, and that made me feel slightly more nervous than before. What if he didn't like me not because of my father, but just because he didn't think I was good enough for his son, or because he thought I would break his son's heart I had done so many times before without knowing it until recently.
Scorpius saw the worried look on my face and immediately put his arm around me, as if knowing what I was feeling. He was amazing how with one look he would know what I was feeling, when nobody else really could, that's what I loved best about him; he always knew how to make me smile, when I wanted to cry.
"Hey love, you have nothing to be worried about, my dad knows how much I love you, and he knows that you only were so mean to me because of what your father told you about him and me. It's alright love I wouldn't leave you even if he did not like you, but he doesn't so you have nothing to worry about. He told me he already approved of you, because you make me so much happier than I was before. I'm the luckiest man on earth because I have you Rosie; I don't know what I would do without you." He said and I felt much better.
"Alright well I'm going to go look for my family, and tell them that I'm not going home, don't worry I'll come up with some excuse darling." I said kissing his lips quickly and went to go find Dom.
"Dom hey I think I'm going to sleep week, I need to catch up on my sleep, so don't worry about me, and you don't have to come visit me because I want you to have fun, ok?" I told her.
"Well I'm not going to argue with you on that one Rosie, you have been studying way too much lately, and you have been more stressed than usual, so you go take it easy and I will see you next week." Dom said throwing her arms around me and leaving to go tell the rest of my family.
"Ready to go love, I have all our things ready whenever you are ready, we can go" said Scorpius as I walked into his room.
"Yes sort of, well I have to be regardless, but how are we going to get out without anyone noticing us?" I asked him.
"Oh well everyone is in their dorms breakfast is not till 10pm, so by that time, we will be already gone. Now come one, I want to be there at exactly 10." He said pulling me along with our hands entwined; he carried the luggage with his hands, instead of using magic.
I held on to him, and 30 minutes later we arrived at our destination, and I smiled taking the beautiful home, I could definitely live here and never get tired of this beauty.
"Welcome to Malfoy manor" Scorpius said smiling at me with those beautiful stormy grey eyes. We walked up to the manor and I took a deep breath as I was about to finally meet Draco Malfoy, the father of the boy I loved and enemy of my family.
