It was Christmas. Well, almost Christmas. It was the last day of school at Dalton before Christmas break, and Umbridge was working her hardest to make sure that all the boys were behaving. She had already found four boys hiding Eggnog in their rooms, and she would not have that at her school! She had promptly confiscated the forbidden liquid, and taken it to her own office. She had only been the headmaster for three months, but it was three of the best months of her life. She had her school, her beautiful body, and her boyfriend. Yes. That was the best part. She had Blaine, who always texted her back, not like that loser Dumbledore. She had the perfect life.
Blaine laughed when he received the third text of the hour from Umbridge, and replied instantly just like always. All his teachers already knew he had full phone privileges at all times. After being punished for punishing him the first time, the word got out that Blaine could do no wrong, unless they wanted to have a metal spiked paddle tan their hide. They thought it was unethical to do that, and against their union, but when they went to strike, they realized that Umbridge had more control than any person should. So, Blaine did as he wished around the school, even if he was a model student.
He waited for a response, and read it with that devilishly handsome smile he always wore around his girlfriend. They had been through so much in so little time, and he didn't know how he could deserve anyone so wonderful. But he had her, and she was right there with him. He already had the perfect gift planned out for her, and was going to give it to her later that evening. It all was working out perfectly because she had asked him into her office as soon as he finished his class, which was only a few minutes away. It was his last class before the break, which he would be unable to spend with his lady love. So now was the perfect time.
When the class was dismissed he send his "Umbie" a quick text that he needed to grab something from his room before he came over, and then made his way to his room. Umbridge was waiting patiently in her office, but kept a keen eye on the door. She knew if he asked her to wait he had a good reason, but she still wanted him there. And NOW. She tapped her fingers on the desk, crossing and uncrossing her legs impatiently until she heard her door open slowly. She knew it had to be Blaine, because no one else dared to enter her room without knocking.
She jumped up out of the chair, and before he could come in the door she had jumped up into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist, almost knocking him down. He had grown stronger though, because this was the way she normally greeted him. The first time she had done so, Blaine thought she may have broken one of his ribs from landing on him on the floor, but now it was nothing other than customary.
"Oh, Blainers! I thought you'd never get here!" She laughed, ending in "Dur dur dur" before she jumped down out of his arms, fixing her hair and looking down at the shorter man. "So… What'd you have to get out of your room? Is it something for ME?" She laughed and looked at him, her eyes wide and expectant with a slight bit of potential anger if the question's answer did not meet her approval.
"Of course, Umbie. Do I ever do anything that isn't for you?" He smiled that charming smile as he took one hand from his back, and held out a small red box to her. It had no wrapping, but a small tag on the top of the box that read "To: Umbie, From: Blainers."
She smiled wide, looking almost crazed as she read the tag. "Umbie? Dat's me!" She ran her finger along the opening to the box before taking both hands and wrenching it open, almost breaking the box in half off the hinges. Blaine only smiled watching her, knowing the box wasn't what was important.
Umbridge's smile faded quickly into a look of shock as the box was opened, revealing a small gold ring with a pink diamond set directly in the middle of the band. She looked from it to Blaine quickly, unsure of what to say.
"It's not an engagement ring. Not yet. It's just a promise ring. A promise that I will always be here for you. I will always stand up for you, even when I know you don't really need it, I just want to stand up for you. And I will go all Angry Blainers on anyone who upsets my Umbie. Okay?" He just smiled at her, waiting for the answer he knew would be coming.
She couldn't hold it in any longer, she screamed at the top of her lungs, taking the ring and placing it on her finger, jumping back into Blaine's arms, but this time he wasn't expecting it. She jumped and when he tried to catch her, he ended up falling back into a chair, her on top of him. He didn't mind though, he had become used to her excitement, and actually found it very endearing. He just smiled at her, holding her in his arms and looking into her eyes, "So, that's a yes I am guessing."
"Oh, Blainers! Of course it's a yes! I will wear it until my finger falls off!" She hopped up from his lap, and ran to the small fridge she had put the confiscated eggnog into. "I have the perfect idea for us! There were a bunch of naughty little boys who snuck in eggnog that I had to confiscate because I do not allow alcohol in my school! But, we could drink it out of celebration… Just like our first night together?" She looked over at him sheepishly, batting her long eyelashes at him and smiling.
