HERE IS A NEXT GEN FANFIC ABOUT ALBUS AND ROSE BRINGING SCORPIUS HOME TO MEET THEIR FAMILIES...HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!
Home for the Holidays
"Are-are you sure about this?" Scorpius Malfoy stares nervously at his two best friends. "What if-what if they hate me?"
"Nonsense," Rose Weasley says firmly. "They'll love you. You know most of the cousins already, so it's just-"
"-Our parents," her cousin, Albus Potter, finishes. "Don't worry, Scorp, they'll love you. Well, maybe not Uncle Ron. But the rest of them will love you."
"Oh, yes, my father is the only one you have to worry about," Rose assures Scorpius. "But...they don't exactly know you're a Malfoy."
"They don't know I'm a Malfoy?" Scorpius says, his eyes widening. "You didn't tell them? You just happened to leave out that crucial detail?"
"Well, think on the bright side," Albus says. "If they do hate you, you're only with us for three days. And if they love you, you have three whole days at the Burrow!"
Scorpius groans. "This is going to end terribly," he mutters. Rose and Albus exchange grins-everyone knew that it was Scorpius, but maybe they 'forgot' to tell Harry and Ron. A short Christmas prank, if you could call it that. They were just excited to see the expression on their fathers' faces.
The three best friends clamber off the train, trunks and pet cages behind them. James Potter, a second year, grins and runs up to them.
"The prank is in place," he says, grinning mischievously.
"Prank?" Scorpius says, freezing up. "What prank?"
"We're gonna introduce you to our mums," Albus says. "Because they know you're Scorpius Malfoy. But Dad and Uncle Ron don't. And they're at the Burrow right now. So we're gonna walk in talking really loud and see how much they flip out."
"But they won't hex me or anything, right?" Scorpius says.
"If they hex you, they'll have the entire family to answer to," James assures him. Scorpius has always felt comfortable around James-especially because James is okay with him, and Scorpius has seen what James does to people that upset his brother and younger cousins.
"Mum!" Rose cries, running straight to her mother. Albus does similarly.
"Mum," Albus says. "This is Scorpius Malfoy."
"A pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Weasley," Scorpius says.
"Please, call me Hermione," says Hermione. "Otherwise there will be five Mrs. Weasleys and we'll have no idea who you're talking to."
Scorpius shakes the hands of Hermione and Ginny, who, to his immense relief, seem perfectly fine with Scorpius.
"We'll be going by Side-Along Apparation, is that okay?" Hermione says. Scorpius nods, he actually likes Side-Along Apparation almost as much as he likes brooms.
Hermione takes Rose, Hugo, and Lily, and Ginny takes Scorpius, Albus, and James. As they arrive at the Burrow-a tall, teetering tower of rooms obviously supported by magic-the rest of the Weasleys are popping up left and right.
"Scorpius, you'll be with Albus, James, and Fred in the twins' old room," Ginny informs him. "Rose, you're with Lily, Lucy, and Molly in Bill's." Rose groans; she hates bunking with the younger cousins.
"Ready?" James asks, and the three first-years grin. Scorpius is very nervous, but it doesn't show. He's looking forward to meeting the famous Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
"Okay, Scorp, you're with us," Albus says loudly. "Don't worry, I'm sure Dad will love you."
"Oh, and Scorpius, don't worry about getting back to Malfoy manor, Mum has it all arranged," Rose says equally as loud.
Harry and Ron are sitting in the living room, laughing with George and Charlie. They look up as their children run to hug them-and then Harry spots Scorpius.
"So, who's your friend?" Harry asks.
"Dad, this is Scorpius Malfoy," Albus says. Ron's eyes go wide-wasn't this who he told his daughter to avoid?
"Nice to meet you, sir," Scorpius says nervously. But Harry smiles and takes Scorpius's outstretched hand.
"Can't tell you how glad I am that you and Al don't have the same relationship as me and your father," Harry says. "Not a pretty one. Did Albus tell you that only a few weeks in he set me up for a midnight duel, and then tried to get me trouble?" Harry chuckles at the memory. Ron still doesn't say anything, and George and Charlie look at him uncertainly...until Ron breaks out into a smile. A bit forced, but he did smile.
"As long as you don't hex my daughter and make her belch slugs, we'll be fine," Ron says, also shaking Scorpius's hand. Harry and George burst into roaring laughter.
"Seems like you passed the test," Albus mutters as they march upstairs.
"Test?" Scorpius says, his eyes widening.
"Well," Rose says. "To be honest, my dad definitely would have hexed you."
"Why didn't he?" Scorpius asks. Rose and Albus grin.
"Because then he'd have to deal with us, of course," Albus says. "Not to mention James, and Fred, and Louis, and Lily, and Hugo, and Victoire, and Dominique, and Lucy, and Molly, and Roxanne, and…"
"Teddy," Rose says. "And he's actually allowed to do magic, and he'll do pretty much whatever James asks him to."
The three laugh at the memory of the memorable Halloween feast, where Teddy Lupin and his band played. It ended in, well, the Great Hall still smelled of smoke.
"So they're really okay with me?" Scorpius asks, needing clarification. "Even though I'm a Malfoy?"
"Well, you aren't belching slugs, mate, so I say that you're fine," Albus says. Scorpius finally grins.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Ron is fuming.
"A Malfoy! What were they thinking?! A Malfoy!"
"Ron," Hermione says. "He's their friend."
"As long as I don't have to drive Al to Malfoy manor, I'm fine with it," Harry decides. "Cool down, mate."
"My money's on him and Rose," George says, grinning. Ron groans. This is going to be a long three days.
