A/N: I don't own anything.
Hey, so sorryyyy I haven't updated. I've been on vacation at Michigan's Adventure. Also, I haven't been getting the emails from this, so I thought no one cared. But that's NOT the case! Fanfiction disabled my emails b/c they were getting sent to spam.
But now that I look. 34 FOLLOWERS! I know for some of you that's not a lot, but it is for me. So, thank you so much. I love you all.
S's POV
Thoughts Going Through My Head When I Talked to My Dad
1. He's mad.
2. He's going to say no.
3. Why haven't I said anything to him in 5 years?
4. I should screw his opinion and marry Rose.
5. He's gonna kill me.
6. What if he says no?
7. Will he even come to the wedding?
8. Does he-
"Scorpius," his voice cut me off. "Please, no elbows on the table."
"Sorry, Father," I respond moving my arms. We sit awkwardly eating dinner. We haven't said much. He hasn't acted the least bit surprised that I showed up after 5 years of no words. Mother is not home yet, and I know that I should talk to Dad before she is. "Father, can I ask you something?"
He looks up. "I suppose."
"I would like to ask Rose to marry me," I blurt.
"I thought that you would have broken up with that ginger by now," he stated.
"No. I've been dating her for several years, and I've wanted to marry her for quite a while. I just haven't wanted to do it without your approval," I tell him.
"You want me to approve you bringing a Weasley into our family?" he asks.
I know it is a rhetorical question, but I still nod my head.
"I don't know," he responds with a sigh.
I gasp. "What do you mean 'I don't know'?"
"I mean that it's not a yes or a no."
"Why?" I ask standing up angrily. "Why can't you just say yes? Please."
"Scorpius," he calmly replies from his seat. "Sit down."
"NO!" I holler back. "I didn't have to wait. I could've proposed years ago. But I thought that you deserved to know. Please!"
I don't wait for him to reply. I storm out the door, grabbing my cloak on the way. As I step outside to Disapparate, I see Mother. Her eyes are wide; her mouth hanging open.
I see her mouth form my name, but I am gone too fast to reply.
I hardly move the next day. It's so hard to believe that my own father won't give me his blessing for a wedding. It's not fair.
"Scorp?" a voice comes from the doorway. I turn to see Rose standing.
"Hey, babe," I greet not getting off the couch.
"What's wrong?" she asks coming over.
"It's nothing." I move over, and she sits down next to me.
She raises her eyebrow and gives me a 'Don't-lie-to-me' look.
"Rose," I whine. "It's really nothing. Just some work problems."
"That's not true," she argues. "Somethings wrong, and since you don't care about work that much, I know it's not that. Please tell me."
"It's my father," I sigh.
She gasps. "But you haven't talked to him in five years."
"I went to see him last night." Her eyes widen. "I know. I just I had to talk to him. It didn't go well." She wraps her arms around me, and I lean into her warm embrace. "He still hates me."
"He doesn't hate you," she assures. "He's just had a bad life, never been the best parent."
I laugh. "That's an understatement. But he really does."
"He doesn't hate you," she repeats. "And if he does, which he doesn't, I love you." She turns my head so it's facing her and looks in my eyes. "You'll always have me."
I smile at her. She's my Rose. She's one-of-a-kind. "I love you too."
We go to bed, and while we lie there just holding hands, I think about us. Some times we are passionate and lustful. Other times we are cheesy and romantic. It's one of the things I love about our re-
Knock, knock.
I groan and go to answer the door. I groan again when I see who is standing there.
"Hello, Scorpius."
"Hello, Father." I close the door and step outside to talk to him so Rose won't hear. "What do you want?"
He frowns. "Manners, Scorpius." I don't reply, so he continues, "I'm sorry for yesterday."
"Are you?" I snap back. "Or is Mother making you come say this?"
"Scorpius!" he exclaims appalled. "I said I was sorry."
"Is that it? Can I go back to bed?" I question.
"No, I have more." He pauses, and we are filled with silence. I don't say anything because I can tell his next words are hard to say. "Yes."
"What?"
"Yes," he repeats. "You can marry Rose."
I smile and, forgetting myself, hug him. "Thank you."
We say a few more awkward words, and I walk inside feeling on top of the world.
Rose Malfoy. It sounds great already.
Sorry for any mistakes. I'm really busy right now.
Dedicated to my best friend. Her birthday is tomorrow. Happy 15th Can'tGetEnoughPotter!
xoxo
