31. The Grand Exit
Christmas holidays were over and we had to go back to school. Usually, I would be over the moon with the fact that we were going back, but with Dumbledore gone after Dumbledore's Army was found out and Umbridge now in charge, I would rather be tormented by Sirius, Lupin and Moody when they are bored. We were currently on the train and I stared at the ring. "What can I do with the ring? I can't go round with this on my finger, everyone would stare and whisper. Then Umbridge might take it and ban engagements." I moaned, not wanting to put the ring in my pocket, where it would easily slip out.
Krista clicked her fingers and took of her chain and handed it to me. "Don't you need this?" I asked her.
Shaking her head, she replied, "Nah, I always had that around my neck just in case I had to put something on it."
I smiled at her and gave her a quick hug, "You're brilliant." I complimented. She smirked and shrugged her shoulders. She started to talk to George and Fred watched me as I slipped the ring onto it.
"Here, let me." He said softly, his hands held out. I handed him the necklace and he slipped the chain and ring around my neck and clipped the two ends together. "I wish you could wear it on your finger, where it's meant to belong." He whispered.
I turned round to face him while still sitting and took his hands, replying, "Fred. I would give anything to wear the ring during school time. If Dumbledore was around, I would be allowed and no questions would have to be asked. But with Umbridge here, I can't take that chance. I want it on me, not taken by her." Fred nodded in understanding and we all stood up as the train came to a stop, we grabbed our luggage and made our way of it to the castle.
We all walked to the Gryffindor and walked in after saying the password, putting our trunks in our room. I let Derry out of his cage, only to fly around a bit and then land on my shoulder. I walked back down the stairs to see it busy with mixtures of every year. I flopped onto the sofa, sitting in-between Fred and Ginny and stared at the fire and I said, "Can't believe I finish this year."
Ginny nodded and replied, "Leaving this year. Starting up your own shop. Gonna be my sister!" She shouted and leaned my head on the back of the sofa to see everyone staring.
"Merlin Scy, are you engaged to Fred?" Lee asked.
I showed them the ring and as everyone started to squeal, I twirled in the sofa spot to face them and ask, "Don't tell everyone though. Act normal around Umbridge otherwise she'll search me." Everyone nodded but still continued to talk about it. I sat back in the seat properly again and glared at Ginny, "You owe me." She simply smiled and Fred chuckled, pulling me closer to him and I rested my head on his chest.
Later that day, after dinner, our group walked out of the hall to the common room. I grabbed Fred's hand and put a finger to my lips, motioning to stay silent. We watched as the group carried on walking and took a corner, making us smile and we ran in the opposite direction. We went up a flight of stairs and when we found an empty corridor, Fred twirled me round so my back was against the wall and his body close to mine as he kissed me deeply.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and moaned as Fred's hands found my waist and started to rub my stomach. "I love you so much. You make me go crazy." Fred whispered against my ear, to then start nibbling and biting it.
I let out a sigh as I replied, "I love you to, but imagine how crazy you'll be when we'll be married." I teased, making Fred growl and kiss my neck. He stopped though when we heard a familiar high screech voice. "Crap! Umbridge!" I exclaimed quietly. Fred grabbed my hand and we hid behind a pillar.
Fred peeked out and I followed suit, to see a First Year being spoken to by Umbridge. The First Year was crying and holding his hand as Umbridge spoke, "I hope that punishment will teach you not to act like a troublemaker the next time you're in my class." She then walked away and we walked over to the child.
"Hey, hey what's your name?" I asked him when we reached him.
I sat him down and he replied softly, "C-Colin."
"What did you Colin?" I asked him.
Fred sat on the side of him as he replied, "I...I set of a dungbomb behind Umbridge, to make it look as though she had farted." Fred choked on his laughter and I smiled and shook my head at him, to return my gaze to Colin. I saw Fred wave his hand and saw that it was George as he squatted down in front of us.
"You did well. Can I see your hand?" I asked him. Colin nodded and held out his small hand for all of us to see, the words, 'I will not cause trouble' etched onto it.
"Nah, I've had worse. Look." I showed him my two lines, "One was for lying. The other for going against her rules. But the pain will ease." I commented. The twins nodded in agreement and they showed their hands.
George then spoke, "It'll heal. Maybe a little bit of scarring but think of it like us three do, a sense of standing us to the Pink Toad." We all smiled at Colin who returned it with a small smile.
I saw Harry behind George and then whirled round to see Umbridge in the doorway, "You see Potter, and punishment is the best way to keep everyone in line." She gave us a fake smile and walked away.
George and Fred stood up and stood behind Harry. Fred then spoke, "You know what George? I've always thought that we were better than education rules."
George nodded with a smile and replied, "Fred, I was thinking exactly the same thing."
The next week passed dully as it was mainly revising for OWLs. Monday morning came and we all walked in and sat down, silence crowding the room as Umbridge stood on the middle of the stage, waving her wand as the exam floated to each table and plopped down on it. I wrote my name on the front and looked beside me to see an empty table, the one which Fred or George was meant to occupy. "Everyone ready? Then...begin." Umbridge spoke and I opened the paper.
I answered the questions, knowing which answers were the one. I stared at the table again and sighed, their big exit was today and I didn't really want to see it. I mentally slapped myself, trying to stop thinking about the twins as I stared at the paper and the question. 'Question 5. Which star is nicknamed The Dog Star?' I sighed again.
Sirius, you're on my exam.
I took a mental note to tell him the next time I saw him. I circled to letter B as the answer when I heard a bang, along with Umbridge and some other students.
One by one, students stopped writing as we looked at Umbridge, watching as her face twitched a bit. She then walked off the stage and down the main gap, staring at us as she made it to the other end of the room. She opened the double doors and her head twitched about as a small firework flittered about in front of her. It then flew over her and exploded above me and everyone around me. We watched as Umbridge cautiously stepped out of the hall and then stumbled back as Fred and George zoomed over her, on their broomsticks.
I got out of my seat as I stared at them, releasing fireworks in the room. Krista stood beside me as fireworks fell in front of us, turning into hearts. We smiled at the scene to see the twins floating above us, who winked and flew away. Krista blushed and I looked at her, "Is there something going on with you two?" She just smiled and I chuckled. Fred and George high-fived each other and the George threw a big firework up and they quickly flew away from it.
It exploded and we watched as if formed into a huge dragon, flying to ground level and chasing Umbridge. It caught her in the doorway and bit down on her, exploding and hitting all of the rules that Filch had put up for her while she had been here. It went silent and then we heard the crashing sound of all of the frames hitting the ground. Twins flew out and Krista and I ran out of the room quickly, followed by the rest of the students. We reached to courtyard to see Fred and George release more fireworks, creating a huge W in the sky. Everyone cheered and clapped and went quiet. "Hey! One of them is flying back!" A girl shouted. I saw that is was Fred as he flew to the ground quickly got off his broom.
Fred walked up to me and came close as he put his hands behind my neck and un-did the clasp. "Fred, what are you-" I started to ask but stopped as Fred slipped the ring off the chain and handed it back to Krista.
"Like I said on the train, I want it on your finger." He slipped the ring onto my finger and kissed my quickly. He walked backwards to his broom and shouted, "I love you Scylla! Wear the engagement ring with pride! We will be married soon!" Everyone gasped and as Fred picked up his broom, I ran to him.
"Fred!" I shouted. He looked at me and quickly grabbed me as I kissed him. People cheered and I pulled away, being put on the ground by Fred as he got on his broomstick and flew away.
Okay...That's short. Sorry about that. Quick question, should I make Scylla go with the gang to the Ministry of Magic place of go to Grimmauld Place? Review and give me your answer please! Till then!
