Ceallach stopped talking and turned as there was another knock on the door. She gave rose another smile, then walked over to the door. "Ah. Mr and Mrs Weasley, come in. Please, take a seat. We just - uh - need to wait for a bit, until we start. So make yourselves comfortable," she said, motioning to the chairs. Hermione gave Ceallach a soft smile. The younger woman had always been a good role model for Rose. She just wondered what had happened. "Ceallach," she said, inclining her head, and walking into the room. Ronn just nodded. He didn't say anything in Ceallach's presence, for fear of embarassing himself. He got silly around pretty girls. Hermione didn't worry though, Ceallach had already made it very clear she wasn't interested in breaking up their marriage. Rose froze as there was another knoock on the door. When Professor o Raghallaigh opened it, to reveal her parents, she gave them both a smile, trying to tell them she wasn't in too much trouble. Well, trouble was a matter of perspective. Hermione sat down beside Rose, with Ron beside her, and she turned to face her smiling daughter. "Rose, honey, what's going on?" Rose just smiled, although, she was starting to look a little nervous. "Mum, you heard Professor o Raghallaigh, you have to wait." |

Scorpius knocked on the door of Professor o Raghallaigh's office, and waited for an answer. He knew this was going to be very difficult, but it was better to get it over and done with. He wondered if his parents - and Rose's - had arrived yet.

He wondered if his parents - and Rose's - had arrived yet. Ceallach heard another knock on the door, and turned to it, hoping, for Rose's sake, it was Scorpius. She smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief when it was him. "Scorpius. Come in. We're still waiting on your parents," she said, standing aside, trying to gauge the reaction to the newcomer. Rose looked relieved, Hermione looked curiously confused, and Ron... well Ron looked angry. Uh oh! |

He wondered if his parents - and Rose's - had arrived yet. Rose looked up as Professor o Raghallaigh went to open the door. She tried a smile as she saw Scorpius. Her eyes widened as she heard Ceallach speak. Standing up, she walked over to Scorpius and stood rather clost to him so she could talk without her parents hearing her. "Your parents? Your parents are coming too? Er - My dad and your dad in one room..." She bit her lip. Oh dear |

Scorpius glanced nervously at Rose's parents, then looked back at Rose and nodded. "Um... yeah. I, uh, I thought you knew they would all be here. It'll be easier to just explain everything once." He managed to smile at her, though he had a feeling it wasn't the reassuring smile he had been trying for.
A movement at the still-open door made him glance up.

Draco Malfoy paused at the door of the office; it was half-open, but out of common courtesy, he still knocked before pushing it further open. The first thing he saw was his son, standing talking to a girl with reddish hair, who seemed oddly familiar. Seeing Professor o Raghallaigh at her desk, he nodded in greeting, and was about to speak when his gaze fell on the couple already seated in the office. His expression tightened. He turned back to Professor o Raghallaigh. "What is going on here?" he demanded.

When she watched his eyes fall on the Weasley's she sighed. "Mr Malfoy, take a seat," she said, motioning to one of the chairs. "Rose. Scorpius. I believe you have something to tell your parents," she began, giving them a reassuring smile, and a quick nod. |

Draco sat in the chair indicated, not acknowledging the presence of the Weasleys. Now he knew why the girl was familiar; but as the daughter of a blood traitor and a mudblood, she was beneath his notice. "My wife, unfortunately, is indisposed," he explained to Professor o Raghallaigh. He turned his gaze on his son, standing beside the girl, his attitude somehow protective. This had better not be what it looked like, Draco thought grimly.

Scorpius took a deep breath. He felt it was his responsibility to break the news. He reached for Rose's hand, and looked from his father to Rose's parents. "Well, I - we - I mean..." He took another breath, and said, "Rose is - she's going to have a baby. My baby."

Ceallach nodded as Mr Malfoy spoke. "Of course," she nodded. Then she turned to look at Scorpius and Rose. She admired their bravery. She listened to Scorpius speak, then closed her eyes for a moment, bracing herself for the outbursts.
The reason the meeting had been made in her office, without the Headmistress, was because Ceallach was a good mediator. But, she had feeling this would be a hard one.

He took another breath, and said, "Rose is - she's going to have a baby. My baby." Rose looked up at Scorpius, taking deep, slow breaths to calm her nerves. When he grabbed her hand, she squeezed it encouragingly when he started to speak. When he finished, she looked at her parents, and took a step back, watching the colour rising in her father's face. |

He took another breath, and said, "Rose is - she's going to have a baby. My baby." Hermione's right eyebrow rose as she saw young Mr Malfoy take Rose's hand. What in the world was going on. She put a hand on Ron's leg, to calm him a bit. She could feel heat starting to rise from him. When Scorpius spoke, her eyes widened, and she didn't grab her husband's arm quick enough before he stood up, fuming. "Rose!" she growled. "How could you! With that?!" He pointed rudely at Scorpius. Then he turned to Draco. "What do you teach your child?" Hermione stood beside him, and put her hands on his shoulders. Then she turned to Rose. "Is it true Rose? Are you really pregnant? Why didn't you talk to me before all this?" she asked. She would ahve been able to maybe talk her out of it. |

Draco's lip curled derisively at Ron's words, but he did not condescend to reply. Instead he stood up and faced his son. "Have you lost your mind?" he demanded. "That you mated with a filthy little half-breed is disgusting enough but to get her pregnant is unforgivable - did you forget everything your mother and I have taught you about blood purity?"

Scorpius took a step towards his father, his normally-pale face flushed with fury.
"Don't you dare you call her that!" he flared.

"Don't take that tone with me, boy! You're in enough trouble as it is. I'm just glad your mother isn't here to see the level you've sunk to. And if your grandfather ever learns about this..." He paused, too angry to continue.
