The End, Double Take
"I can't believe we actually told our daughter how she was conceived." Rose said.
"You mean you told our daughter." Scorpius said to his wife once they were alone.
"She's twenty-two. I think she knows the stork didn't drop her off. And she asked for the true story." Rose said chastising her husband of twenty years.
"But if she tells your father that we weren't married when it happened, he'll kill me." Scorpius said with certainty.
"No, he loves you; now anyway. I still can't believe he bought that story, for twenty-two years no less."
"But your mom knew." Scorpius pointed out.
"That's because she's brilliant and just like me, she can see right through you. For a Slytherine, you can't lie worth a damn."
"I can lie." Scorpius defended himself. "Just not to you and apparently your mother either. It must be the Granger in you."
It was quiet for a moment as Scorpius played with Rose's red hair that was just beginning to show grey. They sat on their couch wrapped in each other's arms.
"I love you Rose."
"I love you too Scorpius." And she lifted her head to meet his lips. The passion and need were still there.
"ROSE NYMPHADORA WEASLEY!" Ron Weasley yelled as he crashed through the door five minutes later.
AN: I never know how to end a fanfic and it usually ends poorly so here is my ending. I hope you laughed or at least smiled. I don't have a name for their daughter, but I was thinking Elizabeth Malfoy. It's elegant but it has bit of an edge to it. But feel free to create a name of your own thinking.
