Unknown Origins - The Rewrite

Chapter 27 - Drunken Encounters

"Come on, Parker! It's in here." Erica hurried up to a door.

"I don't like running anymore." Parker groaned.

"Parker, it wasn't that bad." Erica sighed.

"We ran up three staircases."

"We've been running up staircases for four years."

"And I'm still not fit enough to do it." Parker shrugged and stood at the door.

"What a shame." Erica hummed.

"Right, come on." Parker opened the door slightly.

Erica smiled and snuck through the door, seeing all the Gryffindor students sat there.

"Where should we sit?" Parker whispered.

"Behind them, she'll never notice." Erica whispered back.

Parker nodded, walking over. They then saw Ron get picked by McGonagall and held his waist.

Erica held back a laugh and covered her face. Parker smirked and whistled for them. The two looked over and saw the older Weasley twins swaying from side to side.

"We're never letting him forget this." Erica hummed.

"Never." Parker shook her head.

"Now everyone up!" McGonagall urged everyone else, the Gryffindor girls standing up eagerly.

"Should we..?" Erica looked over at Parker.

"I'm not. I know how to dance." Parker chuckled,"Besides, I'm not dancing with Snape when it's our turn."

"Have fun with that." Erica winked.

"I'll stick and watch because I know he'll pick Draco." Parker nodded.

"Eh, it's probably going to be pretty boring for me." Erica shrugged.

"Sprout is nice." Parker hummed.

"That doesn't mean dance lessons are fun."

"You're a little dancing ballerina." Parker danced her way out of the room.

"Gonna let out your 'secret swan'?" Erica rolled her eyes as she followed.

"I used to be a ballerina I'll have you know." She pointed.

"I've never done any sort of dance in my life." Erica shrugged.

"I'll teach you." Parker turned.

"Should I be afraid?" Erica asked.

"Not at all."

"Well, too late."

"I'm not scary." Parker smiled.

"Yeah, and I'm not ginger."

"You are ging- hey!"

"You always fall for things like that." Erica poked her as she chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah." Parker rolled her eyes.

"So... Dancing was interesting. Didn't know Ced could dance." Erica hummed as she sat down.

"What can't he do?" Ron muttered.

"Hm, well you've stumped me there." Erica shrugged.

"I swear you like him more than me." Ron sighed.

"Don't worry, I like you just as much as Cedric." Erica patted his shoulder.

"Thank you." Ron nodded.
