LET THE WEDDY-ING COMMENCE. WE START BEFORE THEY ELOPE.
___________________________
Caroline
I sat on the floor of my balcony, waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting, because I knew Draco was coming for me. Tonight. He'd written and told me he was ready. Mum and Sara knew I was going. Part of me knew my father would be so hurt that I hadn't told him our plans before we carried them out, but he would only try to stop us. I couldn't stand it if one more person tried to stop us. We'd waited too long as it was. We deserved this.

Draco
Looking down from my place in the sky, city lights flickered and shone. Part of the reason why I loved flying on broomsticks was because you could go as high as you liked and see as much as you wanted. But the only thing I was looking for was a house, one particular house with one particular person waiting on her balcony. Part of what I was doing scared me a bit, even though I'd thought it over countless times and decided, yes, I was ready to leave, to run away with Caroline. My mother and father wouldn't be happy when they found the letter I left them. But I couldn't stay at home anymore. I wasn't happy and neither was Caroline, and we both knew what we wanted so what was the point in waiting?

Caroline
"Caroline?" the voice was quiet but I heard it. I heard it clear as day. I sat up straighter before standing and turning around. "Dad," I said quietly. When had Mum and I gotten closer than the two of us? Dad and I, we used to tell each other everything. We used to be best friends. And now I was running off to get married...without telling him. I felt like a horrible daughter. "What are you doing up so late?" He asked, walking into my room, taking in my fully clothed form. I even had a knapsack of clothes. "I..." "Where are you going, Caroline?" He asked quietly. I looked at my feet guiltily. "Dad...I told you, we've been ready for ages, we were going to -- " you were going to leave without telling me?" He said, his voice a hiss. He was angry, very angry with me. I only hoped I could appease him before Draco arrived.

Draco
I flew lower to the houses, spotting her balcony. I could just about see her in the edge of the doorway, head down, looking at her feet. Was she talking to someone, I wondered. I drifted silently down to the tree outside her balcony, the lack of light helping to conceal me and I hid behind a branch and clump of leaves, watching. I couldn't quite see inside but I could see someone's shoes opposite Caroline, male ones and most definitely her dad. Had he found out? Was she going to bail on me? The thought made me feel literally sick.

Caroline
"Dad..." I said shaking my head. "You've known we were going to do this for ages, and I'm definitely not changing my mind now. We've been planning for years, Dad."
Michael shook his head. "It's not that, Caroline. You really weren't going to tell me before you left!"
"Because I knew you would react like this!" I hissed. He could play it off that he was only mad about me sneaking all he wanted, I know otherwise. He didn't want me with Draco. He still thought he wasn't any good, even through all the things he'd done to help with the war. "I love him, Dad. You know that," I said quietly, shaking my head.
"You're only eighteen, you don't know what you want in your life yet, Caroline!"
"I've known since I was thirteen, Dad! There was never any question!" I was beginning to actually become annoyed with him.

Draco
I didn't know whether to intervene with the argument as I listened to it. If I did, would it make things worse? But if I didn't, she might actually start listening to her dad and decide not to go. I moved onto the next branch forward in the tree and then from there kind of jumped onto Caroline's balcony, managing to land on my feet, which I was impressed with. Of course, it really wasn't the time to be conceited and congratulate myself on my fabulous landing.

Caroline
I spun around, startled, my hand to my heart. "Draco," I breathed out, grinning, and turning to my father. "Daddy," I said quietly. "Please." My father looked at me for a minute, looking absolutely torn, and I hated seeing him like this, but it was necessary. This one this, I would be adamant about. "Do your mother and sister know?" Dad said quietly, looking at Draco but addressing me. "Yes," I answered immediately. He sighed, running his hand through his thinning hair. "Go," he said suddenly, kissing the top of my head. I flung my arms around his shoulders and hugged him as hard as I could. "Thank you, Dad," I said, stepping back, and I almost felt so happy I could cry. Dad even had little tears in his eyes, but I couldn't tell if they were happy or otherwise. I kissed my father's cheek, then stepped back and took Draco's hand. "Hey," I said, grinning at him again. "Just -- " My father spoke again, and I turned to him. He wasn't talking to me. "Take care of her. If you don't..." Dad looked at Draco critically, and I gulped. He just had to get all protective, yeah? Of course.

Draco
I smiled down at Caroline and squeezed her hand, then looked up to address her father. "Don't worry. I will," I promised, nodding. He would have absolutely nothing to worry about. I wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt Caroline for as long as I lived. I looked back down at Caroline. "Are you ready to go?" I asked, smiling again. The thought that we would be married soon made me happier than I'd been in a while. Caroline was really the only good thing going in my life and had been for a while. I had always been worried, though, that one day she'd just stop caring and leave. It was an irrational fear I'd had for ages, but now we were leaving and getting married and that got rid of it. I knew that if was willing to marry me then there was no way she'd suddenlt stop caring and leave. When I look back on the fear now it seems stupid that the thought would even enter my head.

Caroline
I gave my father another hug and whispered goodbye quietly before taking Draco's hand again and nodding, squeezing his fingers gently in mine. "Yeah," I said, nodding. I looked at my father. "I'm ready." I picked up my knapsack from my bedroom.

Draco
I retrived my broom from where I had put in on the balcony and climbed on, waiting for Caroline to get on behind me. I almost felt bad for taking her away, seeing how hurt her dad was. But this was what we both wanted and we knew it couldn't be like this as long as we stayed where we were.

I climbed onto the broom after Draco, settling myself behind him. "Bye," I said to my dad, wrapping my arms securely around Draco's stomach and placing my cheek against Draco's back.

Are they going to Gretna Green?~

Draco
I smiled to myself and kicked off the ground, flying off into the night. I flew high enough until the landscape below was just a scattering of lights, the shadows between indistinguishable. "It's so good to see you," I said quietly, glancing behind me. I could just see Caroline's shoulder but I had to face foward or, y'know, we'd crash. And that wouldn't be good.

Caroline
I smiled against his shirt and squeezed his stomach gently, looking at the scenery around us in awe. I loved flying. Since leaving Hogwarts, I didn't do it much, but I still loved it. "It's good to see you too," I said, and I couldn't hold back my grin. "So...where are we going?"
