AN: This chapter is dedicated to my amazing best friend ever Alexa, the inspiration for Paula :D

Rose POV

Break had finally arrived! I had already packed the night before, so I dragged Paula out of bed and we got ready. She would be staying at my house for the first half of break since her parents were working out of the country.

We went down to breakfast with Mina. She was staying at school. We talked about random things. When it was time to go, we hugged Mina and said goodbye, and left for Hogsmeade station.

We boarded the train, and ran to grab an empty compartment. Once we were inside, we shut the blinds and I peeked out the door. Soon I saw Scorpius coming down the hallway. Dammit, he was surrounded by his friends. I tapped really hard on the glass by his head, which caused him to jump. His friends all laughed, but then they realized he would be mad so they scampered off. When the hallway was clear, I opened the door and pulled him into the compartment.

"Oh hi Rose. Dammit you scared me." I laughed.

"Oh really? Well, I wouldn't have had to if you weren't with your friends."

"Well, I'm sorry I have friends." At that point he made a really strange face that I can't even describe. It was hilarious, though and soon we were both laughing our asses off.

The three of us spent the whole trip just talking and laughing, and soon the train pulled into King's Cross. I saw my family, and I knew it was time to say goodbye to Scorpius. I hugged him tightly.

"Bye, see you in a few days. And don't worry. My family may look intimidating, but the only one you really have to worry about is my dad,. And even he's not a problem, because he always listens to my mum and she is fine with it."

"Okay, I guess. See you, Rose."

He kissed me quickly, and I followed Paula out of the compartment. We ran over to my family and were greeted with lots of bone-crushing hugs. After the chaos settled down, we went to the car and started on our way home.

My mother tried to talk to us in the car, but we were too engrossed in our conversations to say anything to her. I felt bad, but I was having too much fun talking with Paula to really care.

We arrived at my house, and Paula and I went inside. We ran up to my bedroom and I closed the door.

"So, my mom said he could come over for Christmas dinner!"

"Oh my gosh that is so awesomely awesome!"

"I know right! And she didn't tell my dad, thankfully. All he knows is that I have a boyfriend who's coming to dinner. I hope he doesn't make too big a deal out of it. I mean, I know he will. But my mom said she told him a while ago, so hopefully he's cooled down by now."

The days passed fairly quickly. I was glad to be home. Soon, it was Christmas Eve. Paula, Hugo and I got up early. We got dressed, packed a bag, and went down for breakfast. My dad was still in his pajamas, but my mum was fully dressed and cooking breakfast. She greeted us happily, gave us food, and sent my dad up to change.

Eventually, we were ready to go to the Burrow. We all piled into the car and drove off. We arrived next to last, the only people missing were Uncle George, Aunt Angelina, Roxy and Fred. I missed Roxy. She had graduated from Hogwarts two years ago. We used to be really close, but after she graduated and we didn't see each other as often, we grew apart. Grandma Molly told us Uncle George was held up at the shop with last minute Christmas customers and they would be arriving late.

We all socialized for a long time and saw the people we hadn't seen in a while. Teddy and Victoire announced that they were getting married! Paula and I were so excited! We got together with Grandma Molly and were already planning the wedding the moment they spoke the words. We had a lot of fun, and Grandma served a HUGE dinner. It was delicious, Grandma is the only person who can cook food that even comes close to the food at Hogwarts.

We ate and talked. I don't even remember what people were talking about. With a family as huge as mine, there are always a million conversations going on at once and we never were able to focus completely on anything.

Soon it was time to go to bed so Paula and I went upstairs to sleep. We arrived at the room Aunt Ginny used to share with my mum back when they were in school. I had redecorated it of course, but there were still things about it that let me know it was my Aunt's room. The Harpies posters had been charmed to the walls, so I couldn't get rid of them even if I wanted to. The same dresser and desk that she had used and doodled on were in there, as well. It was very cozy and I loved the room. We got dressed in our nightclothes and went to bed, excited for the Christmas morning that would come.

The next day, we awoke bright and early. My youngest cousin, Lucy, had decided to run around the house and wake up all us kids. We gathered in the living room, and like every year, I was amazed at the amount of presents under the tree. Once Grandma came downstairs, she insisted that we open them right away. We began tearing into our gifts, and I got a ton of great stuff.

My mum and dad got me a new set of high-quality quills and brightly colored ink. I was sure it was mostly my mum's idea.

I got the customary Weasley sweater from Grandma, as well as some of her homemade fudge.

Paula got me a bunch of my favorite Honeydukes candies and some insanely cute black high heeled boots from Twilfitt and Tatting's.

Uncle George gave all of us each a huge box of WWW merchandise. I recognized some things like Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, Extendable Ears and a few Skiving Snackboxes, but some things must have been new and I wasn't sure if I wanted to know what they were for. I was a little interested, though.

"George, you realize you just gave those to a prefect, right? You know she could tell McGonnigall. I bet old Minnie'd be delighted to have a little reunion detention with you," Uncle Bill joked casually.

"Really? I kinda miss that. Do you think you could hook me up, Rose?" Uncle George looked at me so sincerely that if I didn't know him better I'd think he was serious. Might as well have some fun.

"I'm sure it could be arranged, Uncle George." I smiled enthusiastically, and his face instantly fell. Yup, I was actually serious. He'd better be clearing some time in his schedule, detention's on the way.

After all the presents had been opened, Paula and I went outside and talked about anything and everything that came to mind. We were laughing our asses off until we heard a loud distinguishable pop. I looked up and there stood my boyfriend smiling at me, his arm linked with his father's. We didn't have our apparition licenses yet, so he had to come side-along. Draco Malfoy looked very nervous as he glanced around. I got up and ran over to Scorpius, giving him a huge bear hug, which he returned enthusiastically. I stepped away and shook hands with his father. Draco smiled at me fondly.

"You must be Rose. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"You as well, Mr. Malfoy."

Scorpius looked at me, and I decided it would be a good time to lead him inside.

"Mr. Malfoy, will you be joining us as well?"

"Oh, I had plans to eat with Astoria tonight, but thank you very much. I just came to drop Scorpius by. Also, I don't think it would be a good idea if your father knew I was here…" He looked away sheepishly.

"As bad as it sounds, I do have to agree with that. However, if you keep hiding out, there's no chance anything will ever be able to go forward. Why don't you just come in for a second?"

He sighed. "Just like your mother. Alright, I suppose I could come in for a minute."

I smiled, and asked them to wait a second while I went to get my mother. Paula stayed and made light conversation with them as I ran inside. I found my mother in the kitchen helping grandma Molly in the kitchen.

"Mum?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Um, can I talk to you for a second?"

She looked at me and walked over to a small corner, most likely the only place out of hearing range of the rest of the house.

"What is it, Rose?"

"Well, Scorpius and his father are outside," I told her.

Her eyes widened. "Draco's here, too? Oh, that might be a problem."

"I know, but I just thought, it might be better if he came in as well, might as well get it all over with at once. He can't stay for long anyway, so if he has to escape before Dad socks him in the nose, it's okay. Please, can you go talk to them? Maybe if you come in with them, you can hold Dad off?"

"I can't make any promises, but I'll try." She followed me outside.

"Mr. Malfoy, this is my mum."

"Ah, Gr-uh Weasley! Lovely to see you again?" he asked uncertainly.

"Yes, great to see you Draco." He looked a little taken aback at her casual use of his first name. My mum noticed. "I think first names are acceptable. Please call me Hermione."

He smiled. "I'm glad to hear that, Hermione."

"Well, why don't we get this over with. Draco, Scorpius, are you ready?" Wow, my mum can be overly dramatic at times. Then again, this was intense. They nodded grimly, and I couldn't help but snicker a bit, earning a glare form Scorpius.

"Come on, you gotta do it at some point, Scorpius. Now's as good a time as any. You know I'm right." I smiled at him encouragingly, and he smiled weakly back.

We followed my mother to the door, and she opened it. I stepped it, and moved aside. All heads seemed to turn simultaneously towards the door, the surprise on their faces evident. All was silent, until…

"MALFOY?"
