Chapter Nine: Christmas
Disclaimer : Not mine :)
“Rose, we need to go.” Ron stood in her doorway.
“Okay, I’m coming.” She followed her dad down the stairs and he led the way to their living room fireplace.
“Go Ahead Hugo.” Hermione told him holding out a pot of floo to him.
“The Burrow!” Hugo shouted before disappearing.
“Rose.”
Rose threw down her floo powder and followed suit. She felt the odd whooshing sensation that accompanied this particular brand of travel that she hated. When she reached the Burrow, Grandma Weasley pulled her into a hug. “Happy Christmas, love”
“Happy Christmas, Grandma.”
“I hear you have a new man, and a Malfoy to boot.” Rose could feel the disappointment dripping from her voice and began to doubt herself. Should she really be bringing Scorpius here? She felt her stomach twisting as she remembered that her Grandmother had killed Scorpius’ Great Aunt, who had in turn killed many people near and dear to her family.
Right then Rose knew she should have refused her mother, insisting that he meet them slowly, only a few at a time. She needed to be able to stand guard for him and her family to avoid anyone killing one another.
Meanwhile, her grandmother was still talking. “We will have to talk about that, Rose. You know what his family ...”
“Molly!” Grandpa Weasley put his cup down a little harder than necessary. “He is a good boy. Harry and Ginny adore him. Leave Rose alone.”
“Grandpa! Happy Christmas!” Arthur hugged Rose, lifting her off the ground as he held her tight.
“Happy Christmas, Rosie. How’s school going?”
“It’s great. I love being Head Girl.”
“I’m glad darling. And I’m happy for you. Don’t listen to your Grandmother.” Grandpa kissed her cheek and then walked past to greet her parents.
A couple of minutes passed and Rose stood anxiously staring at the fire. Scorpius was coming with the Potters. She wanted so desperately for this day to be over. She was glad that her Grandfather at least would not be attacking her boyfriend over lunch. A moment later, Albus climbed out of the fire, followed by Celia. “Rose!” Celia hugged her. “How’s your break so far?”
“Wonderful.”
“So I’ve heard,” She looked behind her where Scorpius was climbing out of the fire. He walked straight over to her and kissed her cheek, leaning in to whisper in her ear. “I love you, Red.”
“Glad to have you here.” Grandpa shook Scorpius’ hand and Rose felt relief running through her. Maybe this wouldn’t be a disaster after all. “Celia, it’s always good to see you too, of course.” He hugged her and Rose wondered if her grandparents knew the conditions that had brought her together with Al. She rather doubted that Harry and Ginny had been broadcasting it, so if they did it would be the work of Lucy or Roxanne.
“Come on,” Al grabbed Celia’s hand and motioned for Scorpius and Rose to follow him. They went over to the living room and claimed their territory in the corner of the empty room. “Now, we can’t all get up at the same time.” Al told them pulling out a deck of Exploding Snap. “If you need to go to the loo or get a bit to eat or drink you have to wait your turn.”
Celia and Scorpius looked at him like he was a bitty nutty and Rose laughed. “He’s serious. There is going to be about a hundred people here by the end of the morning, so if you move you might never get to sit down again.”
“I’ll just stay here with you.” Scorpius told Rose pulling her into his lap. She hit his shoulder and climbed down next to him.
“Not in front of my family.” She told him glancing around the room to make sure no one had seen. “Let’s play.” She grabbed the deck from Al, but before they could begin Teddy and Victoire walked in.
“Teddy!” Al cheered, waving them over.
“How’s the baby?” Rose asked, eyeing Victoire’s large belly.
“She is doing wonderful and should be gracing us with her presence any day now.” Victoire rested a hand at the top of her bump protectively.
Teddy wrapped an arm around the back of her waist and reminded her kindly, “You aren’t due for three weeks darling.”
“I feel like I have been pregnant for three years.” She told him. “There is no way I’m going to make three more weeks.”
“Have you decided what to call her?”
“She finally ran me down.” Teddy told them.
“We’ll call her Dora.” Victiore said, “It’s a beautiful name.”
“Did I just hear you say Victoire has won?” Harry came in from the kitchen, a smirk on his face. “Tonks would curse you up and down if she knew you were naming her granddaughter Nymphadora.”
“I have a feeling she will forgive us.” Teddy told him.
“Do you have everything you need for the baby?”
“Yes, Harry, and don’t you dare buy another present for her.” Teddy told him seriously
Ginny came up behind her husband and told Victoire, “We haven’t done anything we wouldn’t do for one of our own children, Teddy.” It wasn’t exactly common knowledge just how much they had done, but Al had told Rose that Harry had single handedly funded the furnishing of the nursery a month after Teddy told him the good news and that the baby already had its own vault at Gringotts. It was easy for Rose to understand why. Harry had tried as hard as he could to always make Teddy feel loved and to let him know that there was nothing he would not do for his godson. It was widely known that Harry had always had a soft spot for him as he was growing up.
“We really appreciate it. You should come see the nursery. We put the final touches on it last week. It’s absolutely perfect.” Victoire told Ginny as her parents, her sister Dominique, and her brother Louis arrived.
“Victoire,” Fleur looked upset and glided over to her daughter. “You must rest, darling. Sit down.” Victoire kissed Teddy’s cheek and let her mother guide her over to the couch.

All in all there were 29 people for Christmas lunch and there was no way Molly could have fit them all in her kitchen. As he had for several years, Arthur took the boys outside about an hour before they began eating to erect a tent for the feast. They rid the ground of snow and heated the inside. They hung the holiday decorations and floated candles into the air, before setting the tables. It was Rose’s favorite day of the year because it was the only time they were all together, even Charlie had come home. He had made a habit of it every year since the war. He claimed that he’d put in enough holidays with dragons and now it was the ‘young chaps chance to know that joy.’
Lucy and Roxanne spent dinner shooting venomous looks at Celia who was sitting next to Albus. Al kept leaning in to whisper in her ear, probably telling secrets about his family members, and the girls were clearly not pleased that he was dating her after what had happened with Natalie.
James had brought his girlfriend Annabelle to lunch and Molly spent most of the meal suggesting that he better marry her quick before the poor girl realized just how lucky he was to be with her while James stared longingly at Ginny, hoping she would reel her mother in. Ginny did nothing of the sort and actually started talking about how much she would love to help plan another wedding, at which James chocked on his pumpkin juice and spit it all over his food.
Rose sat beside Scorpius, enjoying having him with her family much more than she could have anticipated. Her grandmother was the worst of it when it all came down to it. There had been tense moments, and a few questionable comments made towards him, but he seemed to be taking it all very well, and so were the family. Before dessert she dropped her hand under the table and took his. He held her hand as he and Percy exchanged stories about the minister. Beside the awkward moment when they were discussing her running up the stairs to avoid him at the Malfoy’s party, Rose opted to stay out of their conversation because she didn’t find Kingsley’s policies all that entertaining as lunch conversation.
Instead she chatted with Celia as she watched her family, hoping to catch them looking at Scorpius, hoping to know what they were really thinking about him being here, and then without notice she felt a rush of her air leave her lungs and a pang in her heart as she realized they were eating dessert. It was going to be time to go have dinner with his family very soon. As nervous as she had been about this lunch, she could not find words to describe what she was feeling about dinner. She and Scorpius had been friends for a very long time, but she had never formally met his parents. As far as she was concerned she could wait another seven years before doing it, but it seemed important to Scorpius.
Rose looked away from Celia as her Uncle stood and cleared his throat loudly. “Excuse me!” He said, nearly shouting. In response everyone stopped their conversations and looked to him. “I have an announcement to make.” Ginny reached up and grabbed his hand. Rose saw Harry squeeze tightly and then let her go with a loving smile. “First, I am so glad that we can all be together for another year, and I really am glad to see the new faces. I’m especially glad to see that you have all welcomed Scorpius so kindly into our family today. Ginny and I have always loved him and we knew that you would as well.” Rose blushed a fierce red. Scorpius stared at his shoes. “Also, I am beyond myself with the news that Ginny and I received this week.”
“I won’t change any diapers.” James shouted and Harry laughed at him as Ginny glared. “Like I’d risk having another child like you!” She joked.
“We are not going to be parents again. Instead, I have been told that I have finally won.” There was a murmur in the crowd, Hermione stood from her chair and ran to him, hugging him tightly. Harry held her to him for a moment and the let her go. “Headmaster Longbottom and I will hang Headmaster Severus Snape’s portrait at the beginning of the term.” Rose’s jaw dropped. It was impossible, beyond actually.
“I don’t understand.” Scorpius told her, confusion clear on his face as her family rose from their chairs and hugged Harry congratulating him.
“He’s been lobbying the ministry, and the school for Severus Snape’s portrait to be added to the Headmaster’s office since before we were born. They have insisted that Severus abandoned his post and stood fast in their decision. I suspect that Neville’s desire coupled with Uncle Harry’s ongoing annoyance of them made it impossible for them to ignore him any longer.”
“You are quite right, Rose.” Harry was standing by them now. She saw him lean down and wrap an arm around his son. “I’ve done this for Snape, but also for you. You should be proud of your name and people should respect the man that had it before you.”
“Thank you.” Albus told him.
*
Scorpius reached down and tugged at Rose’s fingers. “Baby.” He held up his hand and flexed his fingers. She could see the imprint of her nails dug into his palm and his fingers were red.
“I’m so sorry.” She grabbed his hand again and kissed his palm. “I’m just nervous.”
“I think this will go better if I have all of my limbs intact and good working order.”
“I love you.” Rose told him.
“I love you too.” Scorpius kissed her cheek and hugged her. “Are you ready?”
“Yea.” She took a deep breath and Scorpius opened the door and led her in. There was no screaming children, no exploding snaps or smoke bombs, but there was a delicious smell in the house and soft music filled the air.
“Scorpius.” They walked further into the house and were in the formal living room. An old man that Rose had never met was sitting on the couch holding a glass. “And a friend …” Rose felt her stomach twist. This man’s voice was not kind and loving like Scorpius’, or even distant and pained like his fathers. Instead this man spoke with a drawl, thick with disdain and weighed down with regret.
“Grandfather, this is Rose Weasley.” Scorpius’ grandfather narrowed his eyes. “She is my girlfriend.” Scorpius reached down and took her hand in his again. He squeezed softly and she struggled to find words.
“It’s very nice to meet you Mr. Malfoy.” She murmured, hoping that she sounded steady and proud instead of terrified, which was how she truly felt. She had never even laid eyes on Lucius Malfoy, so to be here in this room meeting him for the first time, knowing the kind of man he was and the things he had done to her family and the people they loved, was simply terrifying.
Lucius stood and walked into the dining room, ignoring Rose completely. “Grandfather.” Scorpius said after him sternly but with respect. It was hard for Rose to imagine respecting this man, but it was clear that Scorpius meant a lot to the old man because Lucius turned around. “Thank you.” He told her and continued walking.
“Rose!” Astoria held out her arms and clasped Rose’s hand inside of hers. “I’m so glad you could make it tonight. Draco and I were so pleased when Scorpius told us you would be joining us.” Astoria seemed genuinely glad to see her and this helped uncoil a few of the knots that Lucius had put in her stomach. Rose looked around the room and was amazed. It was quite normal in terms of size. There was a beautiful ornately carved table in the center of the room set with nine places. Rose guessed that one of the gold lined plates was worth more than the entire Burrow. There was a hum of soft music filling the air and candles floating slowly around the room. In the corner a tree sat decorated with gorgeous reds.
Around the table sat Scorpius’s Father and a few other people she’d never met. Scorpius moved towards the table and led her to two empty seats. Astoria moved around the table and introduced the family to Rose. “This is Lucius, I believe you met briefly,” Astoria sounded stern as she moved away from her father in law, “and Narcissa, Scorpius’s grandmother. My sister Daphne and her husband Colin and their son Herald. He is in second year at Hogwarts.”
“What house are you in?” Rose asked, forgetting for a moment where she was.
Herald looked at her like a lost puppy. Daphne laughed kindly at her son and ran a hand through his hair. “Herald is in Slytherin, Rose, and he apparently is very charmed by you.”
“It’s easy to see why.” Scorpius told Daphne and Rose blushed.
“And this,” Astoria added with a smile coming to the head of the circle and placing a hand on her husband’s shoulder, “Is Draco. I don’t believe the two of you have met formally.”
“No. We had not. I’m very glad to be here and I appreciate all of you sharing your Christmas with me.” Rose told Astoria as she sat down next to Draco, who rose with his empty glass. As he stood their glasses all filled with a sparkling drink.
“I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and thank you for coming. It means a lot to Scorpius that you all are so welcoming to Rose.” Rose was reminded so much of her Uncle Harry that it frightened her for a brief moment. “We all know that this has to be a very difficult day for the two of you and we would like to do our best to make it a good one. He raised his glass and they all took a sip of the warm liquid. “Now, Let’s enjoy our feast.” As Draco sat down the food that appeared before them was indeed a feast. Rose felt like she was back at Hogwarts and then smiled at the thought of her mother knowing that the Malfoy’s had adopted this bit of house elf magic for their own home.
And then they were like any other family. They passed dishes and laughed and talked about their jobs and school and the Ministry and they told a few stories about how wonderful Scorpius was. Rose took notice of everything, including that Lucius Malfoy was not involved in the conversation at all. She felt like his eyes were constantly on her, judging her, waiting for her to prove she was dirty and now worthy of his grandson. She felt her blood burning inside of her skin as if just being close to him could make the muggle part of her burst into flame.
“The meal was delicious.” Rose told Astoria as they finished desert.
“I will be sure to tell Tindy that Rose. She will be very pleased that you enjoyed it.”
Rose looked at Scorpius who nodded. “Do you have Tindy prepare all of your meals?” Rose asked, still hesitant. “Only we don’t have a house elf, I’m sure you remember my mother’s … views Mr. Malfoy.”
To her surprise Draco laughed. “All too well.” He shook his head. “Your mother is a very intelligent woman, Rose, and she is very stubborn. I remember once there was a rumor your mother was starving herself because she felt the elves were suffering in slavery at the castle.”
“My father told me she used to knit them clothing.” The entire table laughed then excluding Herald, who was too young to understand why this was entertaining and Lucius.
“That seems par for Granger’s course.”
“I’ve never heard anyone call her that.” Rose told him.
“I’m afraid it was the nicest thing I ever called your mother.”
“As it should be.” Lucius had pretended to speak softly but it didn’t matter. Rose heard him, as did the entire table.
“Grandfather.”
“Lucius,” Narcissa grabbed her husband’s hand.
“I will not be silenced.” He told both his wife and his grandson. “I don’t understand why we are indulging this fancy. The boy obviously is distracted from his goals and will soon realize his mistake.”
“Lucius, this is our home, and Rose is our guest.” Astoria reminded him.
“And it is an abomination.” The old man snarled, his hair whipping around his face.
“Grandfather!” Scorpius pushed his chair back and stood quickly. “Rose is not a fancy. I intend to spend the rest of my life with her by my side and if you cannot get over who her parents are then you are resigning to spend the rest of yours without me by yours.” Draco’s jaw dropped at his son’s words and then he looked at his wife to see if she had known their son’s intentions. Astoria did not look nearly as surprised.
“You stupid boy. You need to respect your blood! I will not allow you to sully what I worked for with this Mudblood’s spawn.”
“I think I need to go.” Rose stood as well, but there was a SLAM as Draco smashed his hand against the table.
“Sit down children.” He told them and Scorpius and Rose obeyed, falling into their seats immediately. “Father, my wife and son have made it clear that Rose is here,” He looked at her as if seeing her for the first time, “to stay. If you cannot be kind and welcome her into our home with dignity then I must ask you to go.”
Lucius spun around, his cloak flying out behind him and stomped from the room muttering and swearing. Narcissa, Daphne, Colin, and Herald were all sitting in shock in their seats. “Go, Mother. He’ll need you.” Draco told Narcissa quietly.
She stood and moved to kiss Draco and then Scorpius. She then paused at Rose’s chair. “I’m so sorry dear. I … your parents … they gave me my son back.” She placed a small frail hand on Rose’s shoulder and then she was gone after her husband.
Rose looked at Scorpius. His cheeks were pink and his hands formed into fists. “Scor …” She put her hand over his and he looked into her eyes. “Red.” He whispered. “I’m so sorry. I really … I didn’t think …”
“We’re going to head home.” Daphne announced standing with her family. “I think you need some privacy. Astoria, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She hugged her sister and then kissed Draco and Scorpius on the cheek. She told Rose it was nice to meet her and then shuffled her husband and son out of the room after they had said their own goodbyes.
Draco was shaking his head as they left and Astoria was trying to calm him down. Draco kissed her cheek and she stroked his face. Rose felt like she was witnessing something very intimate and looked away from them to Scorpius who looked nearly as upset as his father still.
“Rose, I’m so so sorry.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “I love you.” He whispered into her ear. “I love you. I love you. Please don’t leave me.” Rose gazed up into his face and frowned.
“I’m not going anywhere.” She told him and hugged him again.
“Rose.” Draco’s voice carried over her thoughts and she pulled away from Scorpius. “I know that your family and mine have had a horrible past. I doubt that we will ever be able to call each other friends, but … I will never let you feel that way in my home again. I promise you that.”
*
Rose had her head on Scorpius’ chest and their fingers were interlaced. She was kissing his fingers softly and she felt his heart racing beneath her. She was worried about him. He hadn’t said anything after they left his parents downstairs and now they had been lying in his bed silently. She had never seen him like this before.
Rose rolled over onto her stomach and looked into his eyes. “Baby?” She asked quietly. “Talk to me. Please.”
Scorpius sighed and put a hand into her curls. “I’m just thinking.”
“About your grandfather?”
“Yes and No. I want you to be part of my family, but I feel like I’ve hurt you so badly by wanting this, by wanting you.”
“Scorpius, I knew what I was getting myself into. I love you and I want you. I’m in this. I told you. Forever.”
“I love you too.” Rose kissed him softly.
“I have my present.” She reached up and touched the necklace he had given her. “But, I haven’t been able to give you yours.” She whispered and Scorpius shook his head.
“I don’t need anything else Rose.”
“You’re going to want this present.” She smiled and slid off of his bed. With a wave of her wand the lights in the room dimmed. She pulled at her dress robes and then let them fall to the ground.
“Merlin’s Beard.” Scorpius exclaimed as he took in the sight before him. Rose was wearing a dark green lacy baby doll. There was a snake embroidered on the material that was slithering between her breasts. She blushed as Scorpius stared, unable to take his eyes away.
“You like it?” She asked softly and he grinned widely. “It’s the best present I’ve ever been given.”
“That isn’t your present.” Rose climbed back onto the bed and slid over him. She pulled at his robes and he laid there, letting her undo his clothing while he enjoyed the sight of her breasts in her lingerie. After she had revealed his body she pulled at his robes while he lifted his body against hers. She pushed his robe off of the bed and Scorpius fell down onto it.
“So … what is my present?” He asked.
“I think you know the answer to that question, Mr. Malfoy.” She kissed his neck and traced her tongue down his chest as her hands pushed his boxers down his legs. Scorpius helped her removed them and then pulled Rose back up to kiss him. “I want to know you in every way I can.” She told him. “I want to make love to you.”
Scorpius wrapped his arms around her back and flipped her over so that she was beneath him and he was kissing her hard and passionately. “I want to make love to you, but the stipulations ....” He echoed her words and teased her. “I don’t care about the stipulations.” She told him as he slid his hands up her stomach, pulling her nightie with them. He then pulled it over her head and revealed her perfect breasts which were screaming to be touched. He licked at her nipple while his fingers rubbed the other and she moaned as softly as she could manage, knowing that his parents were still awake. When she and Scorpius had gone up to his room his parents had gone into Draco’s office on the second story.
“Should we be worried about your parents?” Rose whispered.
“No.” He kissed her stomach and she arched into him. His fingers hooked into her underwear and pulled them down her legs. Rose writhed beneath him as he slowly moved back up her body, kissing her legs as he went. He stopped to lick at her clit and slid his fingers inside of her.
“Scorpius.” She moaned his name and pushed against him. “Oh … yes.” She felt his fingers pulling out of her wet core and then he moved over her. He stared into her eyes and she nodded as he positioned his tip where his lips and fingers had been moments before.
“There’s no going back after this.” He told her and she pulled him closer. “Make love to me.” She demanded and he began to move into her slowly, pushing against her wall. Rose felt pressure and then pain as he took her virginity and gave her his in return. “Are you okay?” He asked and she took a deep breath. “I’m okay.” She told him. He pulled back and Rose winced. “Are you sure?” Scorpius started to back up, as if to pull out of her, but she stopped him. “Please.” She said softly. “I’m fine; this is normal, just go slow.”
Scorpius pushed into her again, a long slow stroke that rocked into her core. Rose felt pain, but it was dull now and she was starting to feel something else. She felt like he was completing her body with his. Scorpius pulled out and Rose sighed at the pleasure of his cock sliding up her walls. He pushed in and she clutched at him, wrapping her legs around his back.
“Rose.” He sighed. “You feel amazing, so, so amazing.” He pulled back and pushed into her again as she rocked up into him.
“So do you.” She moaned and kissed him as he continued to pump in and out of her and then he stopped suddenly and she stared. “What’s wrong?” She asked and he smiled at her.
“Nothing is wrong. You’re just too beautiful and feel so damn good. If I move another inch I’m going to be finished.”
“Isn’t that the goal?” She teased and he laughed at her.
“Yes, but I’d like to last more than a couple of minutes.”
She nodded understanding and then kissed him again, pulling his chest down on top of hers. “I love you.” She told him. “I think I could lay here with you inside me all night.”
“I love you.” He kissed her below her ear and on her chin. Then he pulled his hips up and pushed them down into her again and Rose felt a warmth spreading from her center to the rest of her body. After a few minutes she begged him to go faster and he obliged. He rocked into her and pulled out with quick powerful thrusts and Rose fought the desire to scream his name as loud as she could. Instead she bit his shoulder causing him to quicken his movements. “Oh, Rose…” he kept whispering her name over and over as their bodies moved in sync as if they’d been born for this moment.
Finally, Scorpius could hold back no longer. He pushed into her and exploded as she arched into him and then felt him fall on top of her, spent. They lay tangled together on his bed breathing deeply, not moving or talking for several minutes. Enjoying the calm and the love in the air.
Scorpius pulled out of her and rolled to his side next to her. Rose lay with her eyes closed and cuddled into him. “I wish I could stay with you all night.” She told him, pulling his blankets over her.
“Then stay.” He kissed her and wrapped his arm around her.
“I can’t. If I don’t get home soon my parents will come looking for me.” She pulled away from him and sat up. As she grabbed her nightie and pull it on, Scorpius pouted next to her.
“You’re of age, Rose.”
“And living with my parents. I still have to follow their rules. Including that I don’t have sleepovers with boys.”
“Are there a lot of boys you want to have sleepovers with?” He asked, continuing to pout. Rose rolled her eyes and started putting her robes on. She walked over to the bathroom adjacent to his room and started to fix her hair and makeup with her wand.
Scorpius came up behind her fully dressed and wrapped his arms around her. He gazed over her shoulder at her in the mirror. “I love you.” He told her and saw her smile. “Tonight was more than I ever imagined.”
“For me too.” She blushed and turned to face him. “Do I look like I was just ravaged by my sexy boyfriend?” She asked him and he shook his head.
“No, you look like you’ve been doing virginal things all evening.”
“Good. Let’s go.”
