Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who reviewed for my three-part story! I'm glad most of you enjoyed it (I still remember one extremely cruel flame full of cussing and violent things...). I'm writing another fic and the first part should be up sometime in the next two weeks. Well, here's the epilogue! Thanks again you guys! =)

EPILOGUE

Cho and Draco were secretly engaged through their last years at Hogwarts. Once graduated, the time had come for Draco and Pansy's arranged marriage to take place at the grandest hotel in London. The night before the wedding, Draco owled Cho a letter instructing his plans. He then gathered all his belongings, hidden money, grabbed his broom, and took off into the night, leaving a soon to be devastated Pansy.

Cho was fast asleep when the eagle owl rapped on her window and dropped Draco's letter onto her lap. She hurriedly packed as much as she could and left a note behind on her bed. She waited for Draco, praying he would arrive before dawn. He came before she could even finish the thought. Cho's comet two-sixty lay by the window and she mounted it and took off with Draco by her side. They both had one thing on their minds, with one fulfilment: to start a new life together.

The next morning, Pansy awoke muttering romantically to Draco beside her. But when she opened her eyes, she spoke to no one. The space was empty and all of Draco's things had disappeared. Pansy ran throughout the hotel, hysterically calling his name. The manager stopped her and warned her to keep quiet or she would be kicked out.

"Draco Malfoy, have you seen him? He's my fiancé. I arrived with him yesterday! Silvery blonde hair-"

"Yes, I know who he is," The manager snapped. "I have not seen him since. Now please, look for him quietly!"

Pansy clutched her head, breathing rapidly. She ran back upstairs and banged on Lucius and Narcissa's room. "Have you seen Draco? I can't find him! His things are gone!"

"What?!" Narcissa screeched. "Where could he have gone to?"

"His things are gone, you say?" Lucius spat. "He didn't run, did he?"

"Draco was with me last night before we fell asleep! We were talking about the wedding and he seemed perfectly thrilled... why would he run?!" Pansy felt light headed and panicked.

"Perhaps he is nervous...? He went out for a walk to calm his nerves," Narcissa suggested. "The manager said he hasn't seen Draco since yesterday when we arrived! Surely he could have seen him leave the building to take a walk!"

Lucius' eyes suddenly grew cold. His lips curled and his nostrils flared. "He didn't merely walk out of here. He flew. His things are with him."

"What are you saying? You honestly don't suppose..."

"He fled from his wedding! He fled from me!" Pansy's lip quivered and she broke down into sobs.

Narcissa comforted her, looking confused and angry. Lucius stared down at them with both sympathy and outrage.

"It's her," he said in barely a whisper. "The Chang. The filthy Chang."

"Chang?" Narcissa and Pansy cried in unison.

"Cho...?" Pansy's eyes widened and stifled sobs. "How could I have been so blind?! The two of them..." She began cursing madly and made violent gestures.

"That girl's mother is an Auror, is she not?" Narcissa shrieked. "Our son betrayed us!"

Pansy was in a fit of tears once more. "Draco... loves... Cho...-snort- He... never... even...liked... -sniff- me!"

"Pack your things!" Lucius bellowed. "We are to leave immediately! Pansy, wake your parents and tell them the wedding is off. We'll explain everything on the way home." He hastily grabbed his wand and began bewitching the suitcases. "Such an embarrassment has been bestowed upon this family! What shame! Curse that bloody son of ours! No, we have no son."

Narcissa gasped and a lump formed in her throat. Her husband ignored her shock and quietly stood, staring out the window.
"Cho?" Mrs. Chang knocked softly on the bedroom door. "Cho, are you awake? It's nearly noon and wondered if you were sick. Cho?" She opened the door and found a nearly empty room. The closet no longer possessed any clothing, all of the Hogwarts memorabilia had disappeared off the walls, and the only thing left was the furniture bearing a few things and a note on the bed.

"Good Merlin," Mrs. Chang gasped and cupped her hand over her mouth. She ran downstairs and showed her husband the note. "Cho's gone! She ran with Draco!"

"What? Who is Draco?" Mr. Chang was both clueless and worried.

"Draco Malfoy, that boy she is in love with, the one whose family is dangerous! Remember?! Cho and I bickered over the matter years ago! I forbade her to be with him!" Mrs. Chang ran out of things to say and just stared dumbfounded at the wall.

"Dwaco and Cho, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, than comes a baby in a baby carriage!" Mei-Lin, Cho's now six-year-old sister, chanted and giggled.

"Mei, please, don't ever say that! Ever!" Mrs. Chang scolded. "Go to your room!"

Mei-Lin frowned and stomped away.

"It might happen. They love each other, and we can't do anything about it. The two of them obviously found a way around your foreboding manner." Mr. Chang shrugged.

"Cho doesn't understand. She has put herself and Draco in much danger now. I can't bear the thought of them... getting married! Imagine what the boy's family would do. They're powerful... evil..." Mrs. Chang made a disgusted expression. She thrust Cho's note onto the carpet, leaving it open, and buried her face in her hands.

Mum,

I'm directing this specifically to you. You understand our world and me more. I don't know how to put this. I suppose I just have to come out with it. I've been engaged to Draco for years now. It was our own secret, a promise. He was going to marry Pansy by force and he didn't want that... I didn't want that. I promised to wait for him and the time has now come, I guess. I haven't heard from him in a while, until just tonight. He's coming for me soon and we'll be starting our own life together without you, or Draco's parents. I don't want to sound ungrateful because I still love all of you. I really do. But you have to let go of me sometime. The time is now, mum. Draco isn't evil. Why do you think we both ran? He doesn't want to end up a Death Eater zombie and I'll be by his side helping him.

We don't exactly know what to do or where to go, but we have ideas. Please, don't worry about us. I'll owl you once every two weeks to assure you we're doing fine. I beg you, don't disown me. I'm confident I have made the right decision and you will all be okay. Don't come searching for us, because it will be nearly impossible. Draco and I will be moving everyday.

I'm deeply, truly sorry for doing this. But when you love someone, you would do anything for them, am I right? Draco needs me more and you and dad are fine at home. People do crazy things when they're in love.

Love Always,

Cho

Mr. Chang was glancing at the note, reading bits of it. "If our own daughter has faith and trusts that Draco boy with her life, then he isn't as bad as you think. We just have to wish them the best and trust that they'll be alright."
Author's Note: Should I make a sequel? I don't know... there isn't much to say. If I were to write one, it won't be very long. -Hides- Did that suck? Well, please review! Thanks again for bearing with me! Love you all! -Slytherin Chick
