Rose squeaked as the needle punctured her skin repeatedly.

"Jumpy lil' thing, aren't she?" commented the middle-aged blond man, who was currently pressing the tattoo machine's tip to the skin on Rose's shoulder.

"You have no idea," Teddy replied with a grimace.

"Oi!" Rose barked from her seat. "You can just shut your trap, Lupin. My dad told me you cried like a baby when you got yours."

"Was this before or after he found out we were dating?"

"What does it matter?" Rose asked.

"I think something burst in your father's head that day because ever since he's been unable to remember or convey information accurately."

Rose frowned and looked over her shoulder. "Why the bloody hell does it hurt so much? What are you using back there, a fishing hook?"

The blond put one of his hands on the top of her head and turned it until she was again facing forward. "Stop yur moving."

Rose huffed and looked at Teddy. "You are exaggerating about my father."

"Hardly."

"Then give me an example."

"How about when he told you that I was ring shopping with Victoire?"

"Well, you were with her in a jewelry store."

"She was showing me the bloody engagement ring that Pucey designed for her!"

Rose held her hands up in mock surrender. "You don't have to be so defensive about it. It was just a misunderstanding."

"You broke up with me for three days because of that misunderstanding."

Rose rolled her eyes. "So my dad was wrong once, it doesn’t mean he has it in for us."

"It's happened more than once," Teddy said, folding his arms over his chest.

"Oh please! Give me another example."

"How about when he told you that I went on a date with Mallory Davies from the Magical Law Enforcement department?”

“What else would you call having dinner with her in The Leaky Cauldron?” Rose groused.

“How about calling it surveillance? Which your dad knew because he assigned Davies and me to the case.”

“I suppose that one was a little suspicious.”

The blond behind her snorted.

“You had better not be screwing anything up back there,” Rose growled at him.

“And then,” Teddy continued, obviously on a roll. “He told you that I tried to blackball you from the Auror program."

"You did try to blackball me!"

"I did nothing of the sort! I just told Harry that it would kill me if anything bad happened to you in the field. He’s my godfather, the man I go to with personal issues. I wasn’t talking to him as my boss - the head of the Auror division."

“It still cost me an extra two weeks of physical training.”

“I think your father giving you a grade of ‘unsatisfactory’ just might have been more responsible for that,” Teddy reminded her.

“He was completely unreasonable. I finished 20 seconds before everyone else!”

“Ah, yes. But the daughter of Ron and Hermione Weasley must be at least 30 seconds faster than all other recruits since she’ll be the one everyone is aiming at.”

“Both you and he are idiots.”

Teddy’s mouth quirked in a half smile. “Maybe. But you are a full-fledged Auror now, getting your celebratory tattoo, ready to take on the bad guys, and I love you.”

Rose grinned at his words.

“All done,” the tattooist stated.

Squealing in delight, Rose hopped from her seat and turned around to show Ted. “How’s it look?”

“Ur… it’s great. But why in the world would you want to get a realistic looking spider tattooed on your shoulder?”

Rose smirked as she checked out her inking in the mirror. “Let’s just say that I think its time my dad accepted the fact that we’re together.”

The End
