So thank you so much for all the reviews, alerts and favorites. Spicysweetchica101 I had to laugh at your review when you put out suggestions for who you wanted, because I had already decided on Molly. So great guess. Anyways I feel like this chapter is not quite as funny, but I'm trying to set it up for the next two chapters so I hope you enjoy.
Molly Weasley hummed to herself as she waved her wand at the laundry and it began to fold itself. She glanced out the window at her grandchildren playing in the yard.
"Hello mother" a familiar voice reached Molly's ears.
"Percy!" Molly exclaimed spinning around. Years later and she was always especially happy when her third oldest came to visit. She grabbed the grown man in a ferocious hug. Percy let out an uneasy chuckle.
"Where are the children?" Molly asked referring to Percy's grown twins, Lucy and Molly. Molly had been so touched when Percy and Audrey had revealed the names of the twins. It was Percy's way of apologizing for running out on the family.
"They're with their mother shopping for Lucy's wedding." Percy answered looking out the window at his nieces and nephews.
A few minutes later a muddy James Potter came running in through the back door.
"Hey grandmum" the sixteen year old said as the older woman almost reflectively flicked her wand at him to vanish the dirt.
"Hey Jamie" Molly said fondly.
"Oh hey Uncle Perce." James said.
"Hello James," said Percy formally.
"Have my O.W.L. results come yet?" the boy asked looking around as his siblings and cousins came in, none as dirty as he had been.
"Not yet."
"Hey Uncle Percy," Lily smiled at her serious uncle.
"How do you think you did?" Rose asked her older cousin with interest. She had O.W.L.s coming up this coming school year after all.
"Why does it matter to you?"
"James Sirius! Do not speak to your cousin that way!" Molly reprimanded her grandson. The boy scowled.
"Sorry Rosie. I just, I'm not sure what I want to do after Hogwarts and I'm not sure what classes I should take next year" James said softly, looking intently at the table. Al snorted.
"What?" James asked defensively, looking at his brother, cutting off his uncle who the children all knew was about to go into a speech about what James could do with his life.
I just find it funny that you don't know what you're going to do with your life, when you have Rose's life mapped out for her." Al answered with a smirk. Rose turned bright red as her grandmother looked between her and James with interest and Percy just looked on, clearly uncomfortable with his youngest nieces and nephews.
"You have Rose's life planned out?" Molly asked, wondering what on earth that meant. Hugo, Al and Lily cracked up laughing as Rose glared at James.
"Yea, she's going to get perfect grades, get offered all sorts of positions upon graduating and turn them all down when she marries Malfoy and has little blond haired babies" James answered, ignoring the deadly glare directed at him. Molly raised her eyebrows. Percy started choking.
"Rose is going to marry whom?" She looked at the now bright red fifteen year old who got up from the table abruptly, ignoring her choking son.
"No one. I'm not going to marry anybody" Rose snapped before stomping upstairs. Molly turned to look at her four remaining grandchildren.
"Scorpius Malfoy is Rose's best friend" Al answered quietly. The older woman blinked, before getting up and following her granddaughter upstairs, leaving a thunderstruck Percy with the other four teenagers. James and Lily smiled at the man who immediately looked uneasy. They looked like their Uncle George and his dead twin, Fred with those smiles.
"So Rosie's friends with a Malfoy?" Percy asked them, hoping to distract them from whatever prank they were planning.
eT Rose had run to her father's old room and was now lying facedown into the bed sobbing.
"Rosie" Molly crooned as she sat down next to her and began rubbing her back. Rose sat up sniffling as she looked at her grandmother, and then promptly burst into tears again.
"What on earth is wrong?" Rose stopped at this question.
"You don't hate me for being friends with Scorpius?" Rose asked softly wiping her eyes.
"I'm not going to lie and say I'm not a bit surprised" Molly admitted, "but I don't hate you. I never could hate you. Now tell me, how long have you been friends with the Malfoy boy?"
"I'm not sure. We've known each other awhile. Since before Hogwarts started" Rose admitted leaning against her grandmother. Molly looked inquiringly at the 15 year old.
"How long have you had feelings for him?" she asked. Rose blushed and looked at her hands.
Percy Weasley listened intently as Hugo and Al filled him in on Rose's friendship with Malfoy.
"She kissed him when she was three and we were visiting Teddy" James exclaimed suddenly. Percy started turning bright red.
"My niece and a Malfoy…" then he burst into hysterical laughter. All four of the teenagers looked at each other and began backing away.
"What do we do?" James whispered, looking at the hysterical man with concern. Uncle George, he could handle laughing hysterical, the serious and boring Uncle Percy? The world was surely ending.
"Since he threw a cauldron at Tommy Wilson" Rose answered softly.
"Who is Tommy Wilson?" Molly asked now completely confused. Since when was being 15 this complicated?
"He was my boyfriend last year, until Scorpius freaked out and threw a cauldron at him during Potions class" Rose explained.
"Why did Scorpius throw a cauldron at Tommy?" Molly asked sure being 15 wasn't this complicated when she was that age and being slightly upset that she hadn't known Rose had had a boyfriend. Rose shrugged.
"He never told me, but he never seemed to like Tommy either. Of course Scorpius never seems to like any of my boyfriends," Rose said thoughtfully.
"How many boyfriends have you had?" Molly demanded. Ron must not know about this, Molly was sure she would have heard if he had known.
"Does Ron know?" Percy choked out still laughing hysterically.
"Um, no" Hugo said still wary of his unpredictable uncle. He got a glimpse of James smirking behind their Uncle Percy.
"A lot. She has had a new boyfriend every other week since third year" Lily answered showing up at the door. Rose scowled at the interfering thirteen year old.
"So when Scorpius threw a cauldron at one of your too many boyfriends, that's when you decided you had feelings for him" Molly asked stressing the too many.
"I don't know, just the feeling I had when he did, it was, I'm not sure how to explain it," Rose answered softly not looking at her grandmother or her cousin.
"And now I don't know what to do, I mean he's my best friend and I don't want to ruin the friendship we have if he doesn't like me back, which I'm fairly certain he doesn't, but I want to be with him, and Dad won't like it, he doesn't even know that we're friends, and granddad wouldn't want me to marry a pureblood and I don't know what to do" Rose wailed in one big rush, making her grandmother and cousin jump in surprise.
Molly sighed. Maybe she should be glad she had only one daughter. She had sent Arthur to talk to the boys about this kind of stuff when they were growing up.
"Ok one; I don't think Scorpius would have thrown a cauldron at Tommy if he didn't care about you in some capacity. If he doesn't actually think of you the same way you think of him, it'll only take some time to change that" Molly said, wondering how on earth she had gotten to the point where she was helping her granddaughter get the interest of a Malfoy.
"Two, your grandfather doesn't care who you marry as long as you're happy, pureblood or not. If he did care about that, that would make him a hypocrite seeing as his wife and children are purebloods not that that stuff actually matters. The only reason he might care is because he loves muggles so much, that for you to marry a muggle or muggle born would bring him closer to the muggle world. And three, until you get to the point where the relationship is extremely serious, just don't tell Ron" Molly sighed as she said this. She knew her son far too well.
Hugo watched in bewildered horror as his Uncle Percy began breaking out in bright green and pink spots. James standing behind him doubled over in silent laughter.
"Um Uncle Percy?" Al said tentatively, for Uncle Percy was still laughing hysterically at the thought of his brother's only precious daughter being friends with a Malfoy. James shot up and shot his brother a warning look.
"Now speaking of things you haven't told your father, Lily, make sure the door is closed, you should probably stay for this conversation too, just how far have you gone with these boyfriends of yours?" Molly said before being interrupted.
"Auuuuuuuuuugh!" Came a scream from downstairs.
A.N. Thanks for reading, this chapter changed so much from what I was planning, but hopefully for the better. I added the stuff with Percy at the last minute. So…… next chapter Ron finds out!!! Now I feel the pressure, since everyone is expecting something spectacular. Wish me luck!
Also feel free to read and review my other stories. Thanks so much.
A.T. I had a thought, then I lost it. It's been a stressful week.
