Sorry about the cliff hanger guys, well I'm not that sorry. I had to end the chapter there though, it was important as this chapter starts of in Draco and Ron's POV.
I am so glad that everyone who reviewed the last chapter liked it. It is my personal favourite so far. So thanks heaps for all the reviews. And the story alerts and favourites! You guys rock.
So enjoy this chapter. First bit is in Draco's POV, after that it is Ron's POV. Then it is Scorpius's and then Rose's.

Weasley did he say? Rose WEASLEY! The daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger! Niece of Harry Potter! My son was in love with a WEASLEY, and not just any Weasley, a Weasley that was smarter than him. Plus apparently she is always right. I bet she's just like her mother. What the heck am I going to do? MY SON IS IN LOVE WITH A WEASLEY! It's a catastrophe, it cannot be possible.
Stop it Draco, your only son just told you that he loves a Weasley, it's probably bad enough for him considering he thinks that she doesn't love him back. Stupid Weasley, I can tell she is causing Scorpius pain. But then again I am kind of relived that she doesn't love him back.
He knew I'd be angry, that's why he didn't want to tell me. I can understand as well. I can only imagine how angry my dad would have been if I had told him that I was in love with a Weasley. He probably would have killed me or something. I should just support him. It's not that bad is it? Loving a Weasley isn't that bad. I don't even know the girl. I should give her a chance because my son loves her and that is important. Yeah, I'm going to support him, it's what my father would never have done for me and I decided never to be like him.

Malfoy did she say? My only daughter just said Malfoy. Scorpius MALFOY! The son of Draco Malfoy! My only daughter, my princess, my little Rosie was in love with a MALFOY! A MALFOY! And he sounded like a nice bloke too, what is wrong with you Ron? MY DAUGHTER IS IN LOVE WITH A MALFOY! This could not be happening. I couldn't be happening; it just couldn't because it was a catastrophe.
Stop it Ron, your only daughter just told you that she loves a Malfoy. It is probably really tough on her, considering that she thinks he doesn't love her back. I'm almost glad, almost. This is because he has broke Rosie's heart. Stupid Malfoy, he is destroying my little girl's heart.
She knew I'd be mad, she knew. This would be why she didn't tell me. I suppose I can understand, I can only imagine what Dad would have been like if Ginny had told him that she was in love with Draco Malfoy. I knew Harry was good for her.
I should really give the boy a chance, after all Rose does love him. I should support my daughter because this is her first love. I remember my first love and it is hard, really hard. Especially when you think that they don't love you back (good thing Hermione did). Yes, I'm going to have to support her, I'm going to have to. It's what I hoped my father would have done for me if I had been in the same situation, good thing my family always loved Hermione.

My dad's face went from pale white to a fiery red and back down again in the space of a few seconds, I had no idea what was going to come next. I knew he'd be livid. Of course he would be; I had just broken generations of tradition, generations of hatred. I looked away from my dad and stared back out to the forest.
"Thanks for telling me Scorpius." My dad said quietly and calmly. I looked up at him because I was sure he would be shouting.
"Why aren't you yelling at me?" I asked him, I know it sounded like a stupid question but I was totally confused.
"Because it's not your fault and I told myself I'd never be like your Grandpa."
"How is it not my fault? Didn't you hear me correctly? I said I'm in love with a Weasley!"
"Yes, I heard. You can't help who you fall in love with; I told you that, it just happens. Rose sounds like a really nice girl and I am not going to judge her by her family. I can't promise I'll like her, I definitely can't promise I'll like her family but I'm willing to accept her because you love her. You'd probably choose her over our family anyway, I don't blame you especially after your grandpa, and I don't want to lose you." Dad explained.
"Are you sure? I was ready for you to start screaming." I asked nervously.
"Of course I'm sure. I've never been as sure in my life, well except when I decided to marry your mother but you'll forgive me right?" he said and he got up.
"Of course I'll forgive you Dad. And thanks for everything; I wouldn't even be worried if I was you. Like I said, she will never love me back." I smiled and got up as well.
"Never under estimate the power of love Scorp. Now let's get going, there is probably still some dinner left."
We started walking back to house. My mind wandered again to a certain Gryffindor, half-blood, Weasley that my dad now accepted.
Only one more thing would make this perfect, if Rose Weasley loved me back. But I guess you can't have everything in life.
.........................................................................................................................................
I noticed my Dad's ears go red for a second and then quite suddenly that faded back to their regular colour. I had no idea what was going to happen next. He was surely going to start screaming, I had just told him I was in love with a Malfoy after all. I just couldn't look at my dad any longer; I looked back out to the city, the lights around us. Looking out at everything made me realise what I had just done, I had just broken generations of tradition, generations of hatred. All of this just because of a stupid blonde boy who would never love me back.
"Thanks for telling me." I heard my dad say from beside me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I said 'Thanks for telling me'."
"Why? I thought you would be really angry."
"You can't help who you fall in love with." He said simply.
"Did you hear me correctly? I just told you that I was in love with a Malfoy. "
"I know Princess. I don't even know the guy; he is probably a good guy. I'm going to try and not to judge him on his family. I don't know if I'll like him, I can't promise anything, but I'll give him a chance. I can't promise I'll like his family either but I hope you can forgive me for that."
"Of course I forgive you Dad; you have your own reasons for not liking them. But I doubt you'll ever meet him. He'll never love me back."
"I wouldn't be so sure Rosie; you never know what other people are thinking." Dad said seriously.
"I suppose." I didn't believe him; Scorpius would never love me that I was sure of.
"Now come on, we still have dessert left. I know that Aunty Ginny's chocolate cake is your favourite." Dad said smiling at me and we got up and made our way back to the dining room.
"Thanks." I muttered to Dad as we entered the room.
Everyone looked at us weirdly, well everyone except Lily who had guessed what had happened. Dad and I just sat down at our seats.
"So what did we miss?" Dad asked.
When everyone else was absorbed in conversation he winked at me. I smiled. My dad was the best. There was only one thing that would have made this perfect, if Scorpius Malfoy loved me back. But I'll admit that Aunty Ginny's chocolate cake is a good substitute.
Author's note: What did you guys think? I know most of you expected for Ron and Draco to be really angry but I think that they are more mature than that. They aren't happy at the confession or anything but they know that this means a lot to their children so they are just going to live with it.
This does not mean that they are automatically going to except Rose/Scorpius and they are definitely not about to accept each other. They are just ok with it. Not happy but not furious. Sorry if it is a bit hard to understand.
So please review, it would mean HEAPS!
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed!
