Sixth Year

"Wait what?!" Ron Weasley yelled in a lionous roar. "You what?!"

"Yes father! I am dating Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!" Rose retorted back passionately. It was very clear where she got her temperament from. It was Christmas break and Rose, Albus, Hugo, and Lily were over at the Granger-Weasley's house.

"RONALD WEASLEY." Hermione yelled back. "Get over your prejudices. Scorp is a lovely boy and has been Al and Rosie's best friend since year 2."

"I will not allow it." Ron roared back. "I will not allow it 'Mione."

"Get over it father. I'm dating a boy who's parents were on the wrong side in the war." Rose said sarcastically. "He's also at the top of his class. There is nothing wrong with him other than he's a Malfoy."

"You are not to see that boy Rosie." Ron stated firmly.

"You can't stop me." Rosie retorted back.

"Ron. As Rose's mother, I give her permission." Hermione said.

"Thanks mum." Rose said smiling over at Hermione.

"You really are my daughter after all." Hermione said with a chuckle. "I actually think we should invite Draco and Astoria to dinner. Astoria is lovely. I mean we were in the same book club for awhile."

"What? No? I will not let death eater spawn into my house." Ron stated. Hermione chuckled.

"Ronald, the only reason you passed your exams is because of my love for you. I could easily use my time turner and…"

"OK—Fine!" Ron exclaimed. "They can come over."

Rose laughed hysterically. "Mother that's blackmail."

"No. It's simply how I put Ronald in his place dear."

Hermione owled Astoria, Draco and Scorpius over an invitation for dinner that evening. "I hope they decline." Ronald said.

"We'll see." Hermione replied back. A black owl flew through their window with Astoria's signature on the scroll.

Hermione,

Oh I would absolutely love to come by with Draco and Scorpius. I'm sure the two of them would be happy to see each other!

"Well?" Ron asked.

"They're coming." Hermione said waving her wand towards the kitchen to start cooking muggle recipes with magic.

Ron sighed. "Rosie is growing up."

"Yes she is Ron." Hermione said stating the obvious.

"I miss my little girl." Ron said having a hard time with Rose's near adulthood.

"I think we all do sometimes." Hermione said. They heard a popping sound in the living room as Rose was upstairs getting ready to present herself to Scorpius's parents. She sighed.

"Astoria! Draco! My this must be Scorpius. He's so handsome" Hermione exclaimed giving them both polite pecks on the cheek. She nudged Ron to be polite.

"Astoria." He said with a polite peck. "Draco." He said shaking his hand.

"Thank you for inviting us!" Astoria said sweetly to Hermione.

"The pleasure is mine!" Hermione responded. "Rose, Hugo, Albus, Lily!" Hermione yelled. "Come downstairs!"

The three children ran downstairs while Rose was still upstairs adjusting herself. "Scorpius!" Albus said. "Good to see ya mate!"

"Hi Scorpius." Lily Potter said giving him a big hug.

"Scorpius! Last time I saw you, I kicked your butt in quidditch. Just kiddin' mate!" Hugo said giving Scorpius a manly hug.

"Hello Draco and Astoria." Albus said smiling at them. "I have to say thank you for taking me in over the spring."

"Oh Albus dear, the pleasure was ours." Astoria said with a smile on her face.

"If Scorpius ever needs a place to stay, he is welcome in our home." Hermione said smiling. Ron hid his gag.

"Rosie!" Hermione called out.

"Coming mum!" Rosie came down the set of stairs looking as presentable as possible.

"This must be Rose!" Astoria exclaimed. "My goodness, you are gorgeous! Oh how I've wanted a daughter as well as our precious boy. That never could be a possibility. Scorpius was a miracle." She said smiling.

Scorpius blushed taking Rose's hand and holding it tightly with nerves.

"WHAT?" Albus exclaimed irrationally infront of everyone. "When did this… how long?"

"A year." Rose stated.

"WHAT?" Ron and Albus exclaimed at the same time.

Rose chuckled. "Yeah. Scorpius and I have been dating for a year."

"Oh bloody hell Rose." Lily said. "I thought you two only were dating for like 3 months or something. An entire year?!"

"Yeah." Rose responded. Hermione laughed.

"How about we all take a seat?" Hermione said half jokingly. Astoria smiled taking a seat. The mothers were the most rational of all the people. By the end of the night, well…. 70% of the table approved of the relationship.
