Finally the Herd and Arthur made it back and saw Charlie running out of the tent.

"Dad! We all made it back but Erica and Ron- With the others-" Charlie rambled, he was worried about his siblings.

"Charlie, we're right here." Erica grabbed his arm.

"Oh thank Merlin." Charlie hugged Erica.

Erica hugged him back,"I didn't like that.."

"Are you hurt?" He stroked her hair.

"I don't think so." She shook her head.

"Good."

"Bill is." Percy shrugged.

"Bill?" Erica looked inside the tent.

"It's just a scratch Er, don't worry." Bill assured her as he held a cloth to his wound.

"You're bleeding.."

"Just a scratch." He nodded.

"Do you need help?"

"He's fine." Percy walked by as someone they least expected to come, walked into their tent.

"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Harry questioned.

"I need my sister." Draco spoke.

"I'm busy, bugger off." Parker waved him off.

"No, I need you. Right now."

Parker looked towards him.

"It's urgent." Draco shook his head.

"I'll... See you guys on the train." Parker waved to the Weasleys and friends.

"Bye Parker." Erica sighed.

"Let's go to the portkey, quickly." Arthur nodded.

"Lead the way." Harry told him.

*********************************

The Herd sat in the compartment of the train, minus Parker. She hadn't arrived yet.

"Where is she?" Erica sighed.

"Probably still with Draco." Ron rolled his eyes.

"What do you think he needs her for?" Harry asked.

"You never know when it's with hin." Hermione answered.

"I still don't like him." Ron raised a hand while Parker walked in.

"Can I get two pumpkin pasties please?" Parker spoke in a Scottish accent, rolling her eyes.

"Parker, leave Cho alone." Erica sighed.

"She just gets on my nerves." Parker groaned and sat down, leaning on Erica.

"She's nice."

"She doesn't like you." Parker shook her head.

"Why wouldn't she?"

"Because she doesn't like the fact that you hang with Cedric."

"I'm sure she doesn't mind that much." Erica rolled her eyes.

"Okay hun." Parker patted her arm.

"Ced and I are just friends."

"I know you are." Parker nodded.

Erica was sat at the Hufflepuff table eating a sandwich.

"Hi Erica." Neville slowly sat beside her.
