BEE HAD spent the past few days dwelling over whether she should drop out with the Twins. She knew that society, and her parents, would be displeased to hear that Beatrice didn't stay for her exams but it's not their decision. Bee was sick of adults telling her what she should do with her life.
'If I want to leave school early then my parents will have to accept that.' Bee thought. 'But do I want to leave?'
Growing up kids always looked forward to becoming an adult, living on their own and making their own decisions. Bee was no exception, however, now that the opportunity to go out into the real world was in front of her Bee was scared. Scared of the unknown.
"But everyone has to take a leap into the unknown at some point. So why not now?" Bee whispered to herself.
After making the decision to leave with Fred there was only one thing left to do, actually tell him. Bee went running straight to the Gryffindor common room to tell her boyfriend the good news.
"Fred, I'm coming with you."
Fred picked up Bee into a tight hug, spinning her round while George laughed. "Great, we're leaving tomorrow, let us tell you the plan.."
~~~
The next day at roughly five o'clock (the time Fred told her to come at) Bee made her way to where the Twins were putting their plan into action, followed by Lee, Holly, Mia, Raven, Alicia and Angelina who all wanted to be there when the group left.
Fred and George were surrounded by a large group of pupils, teachers and even ghosts, looking like they'd just been caught.
"So, you think it amusing to turn a school corridor into a swamp do you?" said Umbridge triumphantly as a few members of Inquisitorial Squad sniggered. Beatrice let out an ugly giggle at what the Twins had done.
"Pretty amusing yeah" Fred smirked without an ounce of fear.
Filch edged towards Umbridge with a look on his face as if he'd just won the lottery. "I've got the form headmistress, I've got the form and I've got the whips waiting, oh let me do it now."
Bee felt as if she was going to be sick, how could people like this be allowed to work in a school?
"Very good Angus. You two-" Umbridge looked down at the two redheads in disgust. "You two are about to learn what happens to wrongdoers in my school."
"You know what, I don't think we are" Fred said, surprising almost everyone there. "George, I think we've outgrown full time education."
"Yeah, I've been feeling that way myself" George spoke up.
"Time to test our talents in the real would d'you reckon."
"Definitely" George grinned.
"Accio brooms" the pair said in unison.
"We won't be seeing you" Fred said to Umbridge.
"Yeah, don't bother keeping in touch" George said cheekily.
Fred turned to the growing crowd. "If anybody fancies buying a portable swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninty-three, Diagon Alley - Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Our new premises!"
"Special discount to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat." George chuckled, pointing at Umbridge. Beatrice quickly turned and said her goodbyes to her best friends, knowing this was her que. They'd spent ages the previous night reminiscing on their time at Hogwarts but Bee still felt bad leaving the rest of the group behinds.
"STOP THEM" Umbridge yelled, but she was too late. The Inquisitorial Squad closed in on the Twins right as their brooms left the ground.
Fred signalled for Bee to jump on the back of his broom and she did. "Give her hell from us Peeves" Fred called out and Peeves saluted him.
"No regrets?" Fred whispered as they flew away.
"No regrets" Bee grinned.

Fred, George and Bee loved living in their flat above the shop, it was small but it was home. The flat had one little kitchen/dining room/lounge that Bee insisted was cosy rather than cramped and two bedrooms, one for Fred & Bee and one for George.
The twins had already set up the shop, piling all their most popular products at the front window. They'd employed a girl called Verity, who Bee actually really liked, to work as a shop assistant. The trio had exchanged many letters with their friends still at Hogwarts, particularly Angelina who was missing George like crazy.
Dear Fred and George (& Bee),
Things at Hogwarts are crazy, everyone's talking about you guys dropping out and how cool your exit was. I've heard several people say 'if I have another class like that then I'm pulling a Weasley' or 'some days I just feel like grabbing my broom and doing a Weasley.' Umbitch still hasn't been able to get rid of your swamp, after a week of trying she just got Filch to rope off the whole corridor, I'm sure McGonagall could get rid of it with ease but I don't think she wants to.
Everyone loves your products (especially the skiving snackboxes), I swear there's someone new in every lesson that faints, vommits or develops a fever. The pink cow's tried to work trace where all these illnesses are coming from but we've all agreed to tell her we have 'Umbridgeitis.' I heard a rumour that the bitch is going to try and get an Educational Decree that says she can look through her mail so if I was you guys I'd try and send as many products as you can to Hogwarts within the next while.
Pupils from every year are trying to becoming the next big pranksters but I don't think anybody's taken it as far as Peeves. The nutter's upturning tables, toppling statues, he's shut Mrs Norris in a suit of armour on multiple occasions, smashed lanterns, destroyed candles, juggled burning torches over people's heads, chucked piles of neatly stacked parchment into fires, flooded the whole second floor of the school, dropped a bag of tarantulas in the middle of the great hall and he blows raspberries in Umbridge's face all the time. None of the staff except Filch are trying to help the toad, I think they all secretly enjoy what Peeves is doing.
Anyways I can't wait till the years over and we can all come and see you guys and your new place, this will probably be the last letter that I'm allowed to bitch about Umbridge in because, as I mentioned earlier, she's going to start checking our mail.
Your best pal, Lee.
Beatrice let out a snort after she finished reading the letter Fred had handed to her. Hogwarts sounded like a jungle now and she was sure it wouldn't be long until Umbridge resigned.
