Love is Love: A Scorose Fanfic

Chapter 39: Ron's Reaction

    After everyone had to process this for themselves, they all looked over at Ron. He looked like he just got hit by a Buldger.

    Everyone was dead silent. That just happened. That really just happened. The secret was out now. Everyone knew. Rose's entire family knew now that her and Scorpius were dating. Rose's face was beat red. She was so nervous. No one said anything. What were their reactions going to be? For the first time in a very long minute, Rose looked up. Her eyes fell on her family staring at her in shock. She tried to not lock eyes with anyone, but she failed at that. Her eyes locked with an identical set. Ron's. Rose just wanted to sprint out of the room when this happened. Oh God. Ron. Her father looked like he fell 100 feet from a broom by a Buldger. His face was the same shade of red as Rose's. His mouth was open too.

    Everybody looked at each other waiting for someone to say something. After another minute of silence, Hugo muttered something under his breath, hoping no one would hear.

    "Finally." Hugo said under his breath so no one would hear. But, due to the silence in the room, everyone heard. Hermione slapped him on the arm.

    "Ouch, what was that for!" Hugo said to his mum. But, no one was listening to him, because someone else said something.

    "Finally?" Ron said very quietly. When he said this, all eyes were locked on him. Everyone was just waiting. What was he going to do? As her dad said this, Rose locked eyes with the same eyes that she had. The expressive, ocean blue irises.

    "FINALLY?!?" Ron said again, this time a little louder. Him and Rose finally made real eye contact. He stared into his daughters eyes, which were identical to his. He couldn't believe what he just heard. No, he wouldn't believe it. It couldn't be true. Right? Then, his memory tracked back. Teddy and Victorie's wedding. Her and the Death Eater's son were dancing together! How come he didn't put it all together before! Then, when Rose got injured last year. Madame Pomfrey did say, "If it wasn't for Mr.Malfoy, she would be more injured right now." Ron knew for sure that this was from Draco's son. Scorpius was not a common name. He just couldn't believe it.

    Rose and the rest of her family all stared at Ron. Oh Merlin! Rose just wanted to crumple. It was out now. There was no going back. All Rose could manage to respond with was a very small nod. Although it was very small, Ron understood completely what it meant. He couldn't believe what was happening. It was actually happening. He knew eventually Rose would get a boyfriend, but never in a million years he would have thought that it would be Scorpius Malfoy. He needed to know more.

    "Explain." Is all Ron could manage to say. He had a million questions. He needed to know the answer to them all.

    Rose's insides fell when her dad said this. There were no excuses left. He knew. There was no going back now. Everyone stared at her waiting for her response.

    "Me and Scorpius are seeing each other." Rose said in a low, quiet, little, flat voice. To her dismay, Ron heard this loud and clear.

    "WHAT?!?" Ron yelled. Everyone was startled by the volume of his voice. This was it. They all were intrigued to see what was going to happen in the next few minutes.

    "Me and Scorpius are seeing each other." Rose said, but this time, a little louder. She was trying so hard not to cry. She knew what was coming.

    "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL! HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER! HOW LONG! OH MERLIN'S BEARD ROSE! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW BETTER! GOING OFF AND DATING THAT DEATH EATER'S SON! DRACO'S PROBABLY TRAINING HIM NOW TO BECOME THE NEXT VOLDEMORT! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" Ron yelled at his daughter. Everyone was in even more shock when these words came out of Ron's mouth. Then, everyone went to stare at Rose, to see her response.
