"Of course," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his deeply. They separated, grinning like crazy.
Tareq took her hand in his and slowly slipped the ring onto her finger.
"I love you," He said.
"I love you too."

A week later Kally leant against Tareq's chest as they gazed over the grounds. Kally loved being outside, and Tareq loved being with Kally, so naturally, they were both happy.
Tareq's long fingers drift over Kally chest, she had missed this. Simply sitting and looking at the clear blue sky. The only problem was the sky wasn't a clear blue, it was cloudy and probably going to rain soon.
Kally wasn't feeling quite up to doing anything but sitting with Tareq. All week she'd be either bombarded with questions about the Liam-Kally-Tareq triangle or about her mother's win on her latest quidditch match.
"I can't believe she's your mum..."
"She's such a great chaser..."
"Can you post her my hat for an autograph?"
"Would she visit the school?"
"Does she train you?"
Kally? Kally over here, my older brother told me all about your mum's match."
"I am so tired," Kally told Tareq, turning to look up at him.
Tareq looked down at her, thoughtful. "Sorry, what?" He asked.
"I just said I was tired," kally told him.
"Oh..." He said, "Yeah, same."
"Is there something on your mind?" Kally asked him.
Tareq shook his head. "I was just thinking."
"Okay," Kally said, pushing his glazed look to the back of her mind.
Kally looked towards the castle, only to find Jared striding towards Tareq and herself.
"What now?" Tareq muttered under his breath, but Kally heard him.
"Be nice," Kally warned just before Jared stopped before her, he seemed a little out of breath.
"I've been looking for you everywhere," He said, puffing lightly.
"Why?" Kally asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Your... Your mother's here."
~~~
Kally entered McGonagall's Office, her mother was considered a 'special guest' so McGonagall arranged the meeting in her own office.
Katie stood and walked over to her daughter, hugging her tightly.
"Hi, Mum," Kally said dully.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Katie asked, looking at her daughter with a smile.
"Nothing," Kally said, even duller than before. She took a seat next to McGonagall's desk. "So, why are you here?"
Katie suddenly looked rather tired, Kally noticed a few tired lines around her mother's eyes.
"It's... your father."
Kally suddenly found gravity very hard to resist at this moment. "What's happened?" She asked quickly.
"There... There was an accident," McGonagall answered, when her mother said nothing. Kally hadn't even noticed the woman was in the room.
"What kind of accident?" Kally asked, looking at the older woman, alarm filing her face.
"A work accident, he's in St. Mungo's."
"Is he okay?" Kally asked, her voice filled with alarm also.
"He should be, we hope," McGonagall answered. "He'll be there for a while."
"And?" Kally could just tell there was something else coming.
"And he's in a coma," Katie said, a tear falling down her cheek.
"Can I see him?" Kally asked, standing suddenly.
Katie nodded, "I'm here to take you now, you'll be away from school for a few days.
You might want to go see your friends."
Kally nodded and turned on her heel, rushing from the room. She would have to organise training sessions and... the match. There was a match in a few days, she would miss it.
"No, I have to see Dad," Kally argued with herself.
"But the match, we don't have a sub, we'll be playing down."
She turned the corner to find Liam, Jared and Issy standing in a bunch, they all looked up at her. Issy rushed to her the moment she saw the look on Kally's face.
"What's wrong? What did your mum want?" She asked quickly.
"M.. My Dad's in St. Mungo's, it was a work accident. I have to see him, we're leaving now. I'll be gone a few days."
"But the match," All three of them said quickly.
"I know," Kally said, sighing deeply. "You'll have to play without me, I have to see my dad, he's in a coma."
"We'll be fine," Liam said suddenly. "Go see you father."
The other three blinked in him. This was the most he'd talked to Kally in the last week, at it was actually something nice.
"Thank you," Kally said quietly. She hugged Issy and said her goodbyes before turning and rushing back down the corridor.
Her mother was standing next to the gargoyle which blocked the entrance to McGonagall's Office.
"Let's go, sweetie," Katie said, turning and walking down the corridor.
~~~
Kally sat in the coffee lounge at St. Mungo's. It was filled with all kinds of people. From Parents and children, to teenagers like herself, single adults, some of the people were even patients at the hospital.
"Kalicia Wood?" a excited voice asked.
Kally looked up at a woman with very short dyed red hair, she had a full mouth and a tiny nose. She took a seat next to Kally, holding out a hand.
"I'm Tracie Kashen, I work for the Daily Prophet. I was wondering if you would comment on your father's status?"
"Don't you people have anything better to do than annoy a troubled family?" Kally hissed in a deadly tone.
Tracie moved back slightly.
"I'll take that as a no?"
"You better," Kally said, sitting up straighter in her chair.
Tracie's eyes widened when she saw Kally clenched and unclenched her fists in a very unfriendly kind of way.
A smirk came across her face. "You'll be hearing from me soon," Tracie told her before walking out of the lounge.
Kally sunk back into her chair, muttering curses to every reporter in the city, she, or her mother, had been visited by at least five that day. It seemed to be their BIG story.
~~~
The next afternoon Kally was sitting outside her father's private ward, a juice in her hand, a person walked passed, carrying a large pile of newspapers.
"May I have one of them?" Kally asked the man as he stopped to pick up one of the papers he had dropped.
"Sure," He said, passing her the paper her had in his hand.
"Thank you," Kally said, placing the paper on her lap.
"I'd check out page five," the guy said with a slight wink. He contined his walk down the corridor.
Kally raised an eyebrow, 'why page five?' She thought.
She looked down at the paper in her lap to discover that it was a Daily Prophet. "Oh great," She muttered. "What have they written about Mother now?"
She turned it to page five and a gasp escaped her mouth as she read the headline:
MALFOY TAKES A WALK THROUGH THE WOODS.
She looked down at a picture of Liam and herself hugging, they were both in Quidditch robes, it must have been taken after a Quidditch Match.
Her eyes flicked to the author of the article and cursed loudly as her eyes read: Tracie Kashan.
"That bitch!" She exclaimed and began to read the article.
'Most of you may know Kalicia Wood, daughter of quidditch star, Katie Wood, and current St. Mungo's patient, Oliver Wood. Many times you have read about this families dramas, one thing you haven't read is that Miss Kalicia Wood has been having uncivilized relations with one Liam Malfoy, son of millionaire Draco Malfoy.
This reporter has dug up the four-one-one on this naughty little girl. I, Tracie Kashan, have been informed that now Miss Wood's actions has led her down a path most woman wish to travel.
This reporter is overly excited to inform you all that Kalicia Wood has become pregnant, with none other than the child of Liam Malfoy...'
"What?!" Kally burst out, she didn't even want to continue reading.
A thought suddenly struck her. How many people were going to read this? How many people got the Daily Prophet? How many students got the Daily Prophet? How long would it take for this bull shit to reach Liam? Or worse, Tareq?
