Hugo to prove it.
He had retained his 'greatest dad
designation through his children's teenagyears by avoiding the most commo
pitfalls experienced by other fathers. Fo
example, while his brother Georg
attempted to live vicariously through hison's and daughter's performance on th
Quidditch Pitch, Ron had made it clear t
his offspring that the best thing about th
sport was having fun. Winning didn't meamuch, he often reminded them, if in th
end you hadn't enjoyed the game
Likewise, while Percy and Bill nagge
heir children about OWL results and
.E.W.T.s, Ron rarely spoke to his kid
about their performance at Hogwarts
nstead, he was interested in what the

were learning and what magic the
enjoyed experimenting with the most.
Perhaps most importantly, Rose and Hugocontinued to regard their father as the bes
dad in the world because he didn
nterfere in their social lives. While Harr
snooped and poked into the backgroundof Al's and Lily's dates, Ron let hi
children know that he trusted thei
udgment. "I'll be here if you ever want t
alk," he told them. "But I won't interfern your love lives unless you nee
advice."
Therefore, when Rose requested hi
presence in Hogsmeade the first weeken
of November to discuss who she shoul
ask to the Slug Club's annual Christma

broadened as he watched her curly, red
hair crackling with static around her face
Although his daughter complained ofte
and loudly at having inherited her mother'hair, Ron loved that similarity betwee
hem. He was less thrilled, however
when he noticed several of the young me
n the pub leering at Rose as she shruggeoff her coat and tossed her hair back ove
her shoulder.
"It's great. Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw thother day in Quidditch."
"Yeah? Did you have fun?"
She nodded and then took a sip of he
drink. "It was a blast, although I was sor
for two afterwards."

"Playing Keeper is definitely physicall
draining."
"True, but I wouldn't want to have another position," she winked at him. "I stil
hink Keeper is the most important playe
on the Pitch."
Ron laughed. "Could be."
The smile slipped from Rose's face as sh
glanced around the pub. She then leanecloser to Ron so they wouldn't b
overheard. "So Pop, I could really us
your advice about the Slug Club'
Christmas party."
"I can't believe there still is a Slug Clu

he informed her with a shake of his head.
Rose shrugged. "Apparently Professo
Bobbin was in the Slug Club when shwas at Hogwarts; she started it up agai
after being hired to teach potions."
Ron nodded thinking back to how jealouhe'd been in sixth year when Harry
Hermione, and Ginny had all been invite
o join the club while he'd been excluded
"So do you enjoy being a member?"
"It's alright," Rose admitted. "It's kind o
nice to socialize with professors an
students from other houses on a regulabasis. There are enough people involve
hat I can avoid the ones who are too ful
of themselves."

Ron nodded again. That was pretty muc
he way he felt about working for th
Ministry.
"My problem is," she started then lowere
her voice, "that we can invite
nonmember to the annual Christmas Part
and the wizard I was thinking about askinhas been acting like an immature git al
year long."
Ron raised an eyebrow. "Why would yowant to invite someone who has bee
acting like a git?"
Rose blushed. "Well, he hasn't alwaybeen a git. In fact, until recently he's bee
one of my best friends."

He felt his stomach clench, Merlin thi
sounded familiar. "Maybe you should
describe to me his git-like behavior."
"Well," his daughter began, frowning a
she thought. "He's been flirting with girls.
"Really?"
"Pretty much. They flirt with him and h
doesn't discourage it."
"Should he?"
"Of course!" Rose exclaimed, getting a bi
red in the face. "If he likes someone hshouldn't be leading on all these othe
girls."
"What makes you think he likes someone?

Ron asked her. "Has he asked anyone out
s he dating anyone?"
Rose shook her head. "No, but he's saihings in the past that made me think tha
maybe he was interested"
"Honey," Ron began, trying to think of thbest way to save her the heartache an
roubles he had experienced in his sixt
year. "Sometimes you just have to lay you
cards on the table. If you want to date thibloke then ask him to the party. If he like
you he'll say yes."
Rose bit her lip. "But what if it messes upour friendship?"
Reaching over, Ron gave her hand

squeeze. "It sounds like your friendship i
already suffering."
Rose released a deep breath, but didnook convinced. "I suppose. I was thinkin
hat I could ask some other guy to the part
and make my friend jealous. Maybe the
he'd wise up and start paying morattention to me."
Ron shook his head. "That's not fair
sweetheart. It's not fair to your friend tplay with his emotions and it certainl
sn't fair to lead on this other guy. What i
he thinks you are seriously interested i
him?"
"I guess. I just wish it was easier."

"Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to g
after what you," Ron informed hi
daughter. "I'm confident, however, tha
you can do it. There was a reason thSorting Hat put you in Gryffindor."
"Yeah, because it is a family tradition,
Rose replied glumly.
Ron leaned over and wrapped his ar
around Rose's shoulder. "It will be alrigh
Rosie. Things usually work out the wahey are supposed to."
"Thanks Pops," she replied, closing he
eyes briefly to enjoy her father's embrace

disappeared all day," Ron joked, risin
from the table.
Rose giggled and followed him to thdoor. "Tell Mum I love her."
"Will do," he replied before hugging Ros
again. As Ron opened the door to leavehe turned back to his daughter. "So what'
he name of this lucky bloke you fancy
Your Mum is going to demand details."
Rose rolled her eyes, but stood on he
iptoes to whisper in his ear. "Scorpiu
Malfoy. But don't breathe a word to Uncl
Harry or Aunt Ginny."
Ron froze a minute before nodding stiffl
and stepping out into the street.

Rose watched as he Apparated away
Before she could return to her table an
collect her belongs, however, a pair o
strong arms wrapped themselves arounher waist.
"Did you tell him about us?" a deep voic
asked her quietly, before soft lips brushedagainst her earlobe.
"Yeah," Rose replied, turning around and
inking her arms around the neck of heboyfriend. "He thinks we'll be grea
ogether."
"Your father sounds like a wonderfuman," Scorpius Malfoy smiled, starin
contentedly into the blue eyes of hi
favorite Weasley.

Rose nodded enthusiastically in response
"He's the world's greatest dad."
