Word Count and Rating: 100, G
Pairing: Rose/Scorpius
Warning: Dialogue fic
Notes: The second fic written for the Malfoy100 prompt "bedtime story," and the first written for my Next Gen table at 100quills (prompt: beginning). Quotes from Shakespeare, Dickens, and Austen.
“Tell me a story.”
“What kind of story?”
“One about us.”
“Hmm...how to begin? 'Two households, both alike in dignity...'”
“Oh, no. I know how that one ends.”
“'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.'”
“'Worst of times'?”
“'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife'?”
“Sounds too mercenary for us.”
“Okay. Once upon a time, a Malfoy met a Weasley who was as brave and brilliant as she was beautiful. How's that for a beginning?”
“I like it.”
