I found Mika in the Entrance hall, exactly where I'd left after our argument.
I slid down against the wall next to him.
He doesn't say anything and neither do I for a moment.
"I'm sorry." I say quietly.

"Me too." I say equally quietly, unable to look at her. "I didn't mean-...I'm sorry."

"Mika, I know how to get out of this." I say, looking determinedly straight ahead, but taking his hand. "And I'm going to, okay?"

"Is it dangerous?" I ask, also looking straight ahead and not at her, but taking her hand gratefully as it found mine. "I'd rather I died than you did."

I swallow, uncomfortable aware that I'd have to lie now. "No, it's not dangerous. I'll be free, and everything will be alright again."

I nod. "Promise?"

My eyes flick to the floor. "Promise."

"Good." I say.
There's a pause.
"You know, how we don't believe in love?" I ask, then pause again. "What would you say if I told you I think I'm in love with you?"

"I'd say-..." I pause. "I'd say feeling is believing, I guess."

"In which case, I think I'm in love with you."

"That's not what you said you'd say." I point out. "But I'm glad you said it."

"Me too." I say, then sigh heavily. "I'm going to go and fix everything now."

I cup her cheek lightly, turning her head to face me and kissing her softly. "Come and find me, when you get back."

I nod, eyes filling with tears and kiss him back. "I will."
I stand up to leave. "I don't think I love you." I say to him. "I know I do."

I stand up too, taking her hands. "Marry me then."

I hesitate, then realising it won't matter and I might as well do what I wanted. "Sure."
I kiss him again. "Don't wait for me. I'll be a while."
Then I turn and run from the castle out into the grounds, tears dripping down my face at the thought of what I was going to do and then apparating to DE HQ.

I watch her go, sigh, and then turn around to wander aimlessly through the corridors.
