Erika's POV
Belle turned her paper in to Professor McGongall.
I was about to until....Harry came up.

"No permission signed. No visiting the village. That's the rule, Potter." she said.

"Those who have permission slips. Follow me. Those without. Stay put." Filch stated.
"Look, Professor. If you signed it, then I could go." Harry reasoned.
"I can't. Only a guardian or a parent could sign it. Since I am either. There's nothing I can do." said Professor McGongall.

Harry frowned at that.
"I'm sorry, Potter. That's my final word."
Professor McGongall was about away until she noticed me.

"Your paper, Ms Lee." she said.
"Actually..." I folded my paper and put in my back pocket.

"I forgot." I said.

"Very well. You and Mr. Potter keep each other company." she said and left.
Then we glanced at Hermione, Ron and Belle.

"Forget about it, guys. See you later." Harry said.
Belle gave me a concerned look. Like she doesn't want to go either, unless I go.

I gave her a 'nod' telling to go on.
She sighed and nodded and left with Hermione and Ron.

I turned around and faced Harry.

"Why did you do that?" he  asked.
I giggled nervously and rubbed behind me neck.

"Well, I couldn't leave a friend behind." I replied.

Harry smiled at that.
"Erika." he said.

"Hmm?"

"Thanks." he said.

I smiled at that and I'm trying not to blush.

"Come on, I want to ask Professor Lupin something." he said.
I nodded and followed him.

~At the bridge~
"Professor, can I ask you something?" asked Harry.
"You want to know why I stopped you facing that boggart, yes?" said Lupin.
"I assumed it would take the shape of Lord Voldemort." he said.

"I did think of Voldemort at first. But then, I remembered that night on the train and the dementor." he said.
"I'm very impressed. That suggests what you fear the most is fear itself. This is very wise." said Lupin.
"Before I fainted...I heard screaming...A women...just screaming." said Harry.
"Dementors force us to relive our very worst memories. Our pain becomes their power." said Professor Lupin.
"I think it was my mother...that night she was murdered." said Harry.
"You know, the very first I saw you, Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They're your mother, Lily's." said Professor Lupin. Then he turned to me.
"And you, Erika, you look exactly like your mother, Kelly. Same goes for Belle. Both of you look exactly like your mother, except you have your Father's Personality while Belle has your Mother's Personality."

I put on a weak smile. I never knew my mother, ever since Belle and I were born.
We actually don't know what she look like....I think.

"I knew both of your Mothers. Lily is always there for me when I needed her, as for Kelly, she's the nicest person that I've ever met. Beautiful, she is. Many boy has fallen for her, but she already sets her eye on Jimmy, my wonderful friend." he said.

No wonder Belle and I look good. I thought.

Isabelle's POV

Ron and Hermione are having a good time with each other. So I was just wandering around the Village.
But, don't worry. I already told them where I'll be.

As I was walking, I heard a little conversation.

"Come on, Draco. Let's go see what's over there." said Blaise.

I hid behind the corner and listened more.
"No thanks, mate." said Malfoy.

"What's wrong with you anyway. First you were acting like nothing as happened the other day, and now, you're on your soft side." Blaise said.

Malfoy has a soft side? I thought.

"It's just...it's just nothing." Malfoy replied back, with a sigh.
"Dude, you're in love with her. I can tell." Blaise said.

In love? HA! In Love with Parkinson. I thought.

I heard enough and left to find Hermione and Ron

Draco's POV
"Dude, you're in love with her. I can tell." Blaise said.
"I'm not in love with Pansy." I stated.

Blaise laughed.

"I'm not talking about Pansy. I'm talking about Belle." he said.

I gulped and looked away.

"AH! Is the Draco Malfoy blushing?" Blaise teased me.
"Shut up." I said.

Blaise chuckled and patted my shoulder.
"Don't worry, mate. I'll help you out." he said.

"Yeah, but...it's too late. I'm dating Pansy and there is no way out of it. And plus, Belle hates me." I said.
"HA! No worries. Just break up with Pansy, simple as that." he said.

"Blaise, is not that easy." I mumbled.
"Sure it is. You'll see. And as for Belle...try to get on her good side." he said.

"Tried to, but she always give that glare of hers, which is so sexy." I said. And then my eyes widen for what I said.
"Sexy?! You said Belle has a sexy glare?! HAHAHA!!!" Blaise laughed.

"I didn't say that." I denied.
"Hahaha....I heard every word of it." Blaise said.

I looked away, blushing.

"Wait till Belle hears this." Blaise walked away.

"Hey! Don't you even dare!" I shouted as I ran after him.
