Challenge: The Ultimate Pairing Drabble Competition
Pairing: Salazar/Rowena
Prompt: Feelings
Merely two years after creating Hogwarts with his friends, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw,many things from changed for Salazar Slytherin. Especially after the death of his wife Matilda and their daughter during childbirth. He was left with his three oldest children in his care and their house-elf nanny.
Inside of his chambers one night for a drink before heading to bed for the evening, he knew that these were changing for him. As the young widow and raven hair beauty Rowena has captured him. Over the course of the next few months, he realizes that his feelings toward Rowena have turned from lust to ones of love.
That is why he approaches her with a single red rose to propose something of importance to Rowena.
Salazar says passionately, "Lady Ravenclaw, I must confess that I have fallen in love you," her the red rose. "I wish to begin to court you before making you my bride."
As she accepts the rose, Rowena replies to the man standing vulnerably in front of her "Of course, Lord Slytherin I shall consent to your courtship of myself," pausing for a moment before adding, "Thus, the consent of marriage must go through my brother for permission."
"If that is what you wish, in a matter of seven months, I shall approach your brother for his consent of making you my bride," says Salazar before kissing her on the cheek before they went into their separate chambers for the evening.
