Harry Potter and the Death Dodger

Chapter 25

A year had gone by and Scorpius and Rose were still tighter than ever. It was the day before Christmas and Rose went shopping with Sibby.

"I'm positive he'll propose tonight for all his family to see. It'll be so romantic." Said Sibby looking at Rose holding a blue and black dress.

" I want my dress to be cute, but it can't scream bride. This one?" Rose asked.

"It's cute, but try it on." Said Sibby.

Meanwhile, Scorpius awaited inside the Leaky Cauldron.

Ron strutted inside the Leaky Cauldron and saw Scorpius. He sat down across from him.

"You better have a great reason to pull me off work that, Malfoy." Said Ron.

"Actually, sir, I've got to ask you something," Said Scorpius, "I'd like your daughter's hand for marriage."

Ron was taken aback by this. He didn't know what to say. He was certain that Scorpius was the right guy for his little Rosie, he had proven himself worthy, he made Rose happy so why not. Yes, he was a Malfoy and nothing good ever comes from a Malfoy.

"I don't know." Said Ron.

"Please, sir. Let me show you the ring. " Scorpius took out the velvet covered box and opened it, revealing the diamond-covered ring that he had designed for Rose seventh year.

"You're giving Rose this ring? This must be worth a bloody fortune." Exclaimed Ron while Scorpius nodded.

"That's not half of what your daughter is worth." Muttered Scorpius.

"She's yours." Said Ron.

The night Rose wore the dress she bought that morning and walked around with Scorpius. And nothing. He didn't propose.

At night, Rose was a little disappointed, but she let it be. However she did try to talk about the 'future' with him.

"So what do you want for future?" She asked him.

"I want to be married and have kids. I want to be able to come home after work and just have a happy life." Scorpius smiled at the ceiling, picturing his perfect life.

Rose frowned. That's not exactly what she wanted. She was now a profiler and worked alongside Scorpius and his team and was also the spokesperson for the team. Having kids meant having no time to work and she didn't want to give up what she had now.

"Me too" she lied, laying down next to him. She was plainly in her red underwear.

"Really?" He could tell she was lying but said nothing.

She put her hand to through her underwear drawer and took out a little weed box and took some out and started to smoke it. She didn't smoke much, only when she was nervous and right now she was nervous. I mean, she wanted to be with Scorpius and if that meant giving up her life that she loved, she was going to get nervous a lot.

"You know I don't like it when you smoke." He stroked her hair gently, " You nervous about something?"

"Just that case we're working." Said Rose frowning.

"Let's make a baby soon. So you don't have to worry about any more hard cases like that." He kissed her and turned around. She frowned even further.

The next morning, Rose woke up feeling a little low. She couldn't help to be sad about wanting a different life from Scorpius.

She noticed that Scorpius wasn't in bed, but she heard noise from the kitchen and walked over there. She saw Scorpius only in his Santa Claus boxer cooking.

"Hey you. Feeling a little Christmasy today?" Giggled Rose.

"Rose Jean Weasley," he smiled and stopped.

"That's me!" She said.

"The moment I met you I knew you'd make me the happiest man alive."Scorpius said.

"Cheesy but continue. " she said.

"You are annoying, loud, moody and a sexy homicidal bitch." Rose rolled her eyes, "and that's why I love you."

"That's fun. Don't you want to add serial arsonist in there too?" Said Rose sarcastically.

"Chill," he got down on one knee," Will you please marry me?"

He opened the velvet-covered box revealing the diamond-covered ring.

"Ah! I hate you!" She shrieked at the ring.

"What? Why?" Scorpius stood, frowned and looked at the ring disappointed.

"I bought a dress for this moment, which even Sibby thought was going to yesterday and turns out that you had me fooled." She said.

"You looked nice yesterday." He said with the Malfoy grin.

"Go fuck yourself" said Rose.

"So it's a no?" He opened his eyes wide, still smiling.

"No it's a yes." With that Scorpius threw his arms around her waist, kissed her, cupped her ass with his hands and she put her tighs around his waist.
