"I think I'm going to get out of here, Mel."

Melody looked down at me where my head lay in her lapWe had decided to sit in the tunnel in which we had escaped Umbridge, seeing as how it offered us a rather decent bit of privacy.

To this point I was incredibly tired of that toad lady. Fred was too. I'm not exactly sure how we put up with her for so long.

"What do you mean?" Melody asked, her hands stilling in my hair.

"I mean, Fred and I are going to leave school. There's not much more education we can get for the business we want to open and plus that evil lady is seriously pushed me to a limit."

"Do you think your mum's going to appreciate you both skipping out on graduation?"

"Probably not but I don't think she'll blame us. Ginny's been sending her letters all year, telling mum how Umbridge has been acting and what she's been doing to Harry and you know how much mum cares about Harry."

"So you're going to run away from school and go . . . live in your joke shop?"

"Sounds about right."

Melody snorted, daintily, pushing me up into a sitting position. "And how exactly are you planning to do that? I mean, you can't Apparate out of Hogwarts, your brooms are locked in a broom closet –"

"Oh Melody." I smiled, taking her face in my hands. "Dear sweet Melody. Don't you think Fred and I have already got that all planned out?"

"How long have you been thinking about this?"

"About . . . a couple of weeks."

"Wow, okay then. . . . So, what's your plan?"

I tapped her gently on her nose, grinning. "You'll have to wait and see, won't you."

"Aww, come on, tell me."

"Nope. . . . Did anyone ever tell you were cute when you pout?"

"Don't try to change the subject, George Weasley."

"But you do!"

Melody frowned, turning her head away from me. I rolled my eyes, reaching forward to turn her face back towards me, though she didn't look at me. "You can be such a drama queen sometimes. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's stupid."

"Mel?" She finally looked at me, her eyes sad. "You know me leaving isn't going to change anything between us, right? I'll still be yours as long as you'll have me. Forever if you want."

A blush came to her face as she smiled, looking down. I leaned forward and kissed her, my arms encircling her waist. Her hands lifted and cradled my face gently. She leaned back, smiling. "Forever it is then."

Umbridge glared at Fred and me over our swamp. If looks could kill, Fred and I would both be very dead men.

"You two are both expelled!" she cried.

"Fine with us," Fred said, pointing his wand at a broom closet. "Accio Brooms!"

I caught my broom as it burst from the broom closet and soared towards us, hopping on. We soared through the front doors of the castle, the whole school following us out, cheering and shouting. I looked down behind me to see Melody standing alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I waved my wand and a bouquet of white roses fell down below.

Melody jumped up and caught it, grinning hard. She waved up at me and I waved back.

Forever.

I think I was going to like forever.
