Erica, Wood, Draco and Kayla left the dungeon with Sirius, Sirius had used
an apparation charm that cold hold 5 people. Erica and Kayla weren't
feeling very well, from a lack of food, and were sent immediatly to Madam
Pomfrey. Wood and Draco still had a lack of food, but Erica and Kayla had
gotten sick somehow. Wood wanted to stay with Erica, and Draco wanted to
stay with Kayla, but Madam Pomfrey was too pretective of her patients. Wood
was very pissed at Madam Pomfrey for saying that he couldn't see Erica.
"This is dragon shit." Draco yelled.
"Yeah exactly." Wood said.
"We should go and talk to dumbledore." Wood said.
"Yeah, cause I want to make sure Kayla is ok. I Love Kayla, and if anything happens to her, I will die. She is my everything." Draco said.
"Yeah, I feel the same way about Erica. Lets go get Dumbledore."
"Yeah." Draco said feeling like a hero.
Oliver Wood, and Draco were on their way to see Dumbledore. They didn't want people telling them that they couldn't see the ones they love. This made Oliver and Draco, very,very mad. They made their way up the stairs to Professor Dumbledore's office. Once they got to the top of the stairs Dumbledore was waiting at his desk and was looking strait at them.
"I thought I would be seeing you two boys sooner." P. Dumbledore said looking at them and smiling.
"What seems to be the matter?"
"Well, it's kind of odd, it may seem, but we came here, because well, the girls that we fell in love with, Erica, and kayla, are in the nurses office, and she wont let us see them, and we're really worried about them." Wood said, as tears dripped down his cheek.
"Don't you worry boys, I will talk to Madam Pomfrey about this. Anyways, Draco, you can go down to Madam Pomfrey, and give her this note, I need to talk to Wood about Erica."
"Sure, sir."
Draco took the letter and ran down to the nurses office with tears of joy across his face.
"Wood, you have met Erica's parents before, right?"
"Yes, I met them the beginning of this year at platform 9 3/4. They are very nice."
"Indeed. But Wood, do not tell Erica this yet, I will speak with her later today, but late last night someone snuck into their house, and-and well, they killed them." Dumbledore said sadly
"Her parents?" Wood said shocked.
"Yes." Dumbledore said sadly.
"Erica will be devistated. She'll be so upset." Wood said with more tears running down his cheek.
"Don't you worry, Wood. But once I tell her, I ask you to please give her as much love as possible, she will have no one to go to. It's her last year at Hogwarts and she can't stay alone at that house, not after what happened."
"Yes, I know, I love her more than life itself." Wood said, who was now in tears.
"You can go and see her, just give Madam Pomfrey this note. And promise- no swear you will not tell her about her parents?"
"I Promise Professor Dumbledore." Wood said, whiping the tears from his eyes.
"Good, now you be good." Professor Dumbledore said smiling.
"I will!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Wood raced down the corridors running as fast as he could go, so he could get to Madam Pomfrey. When he got there Madam Pomfrey was flipping out because he was running.
"DON'T RUN IN THE HALLWAYS!!" She started yelling.
Erica lifted her head to see who was there, she smiled when she saw Wood.
"Put your head down girl! You'll get another migrane!"
"Ouch, ok" Erica said, pretending that it hurt.
Wood scurried over to Erica who was lying on the bed looking very sick.
"Hey Erica. How are you feeling?" Wood said bending over next to her, and stroking her hair with his hand.
"I'm doing a little better, I still feel aweful though." She said in a soft voice.
"Yeah." Wood said staring into her big hazel eyes.
Wood had remembered what Dumbledore had said about her parents and what had happened to them, he didn't want Erica to be heartbroken. He knew that if Dumbledore told her tonight she would definatly have alot of stress. Wood wondered where she would go. And then he remembered what Dumbledore had told him, "Erica may have to move in with her aunt's in the us. if she doesn't find another place to stay. Wood couldn't let her go, he loved her too much.
"What's wrong Wood? You seem upset about something." Erica asked.
"It's just that- I'll miss you when we're not in school, I wont see you."
"Ofcourse you will, why do you say that Wood? I dont live that far from you!"
"Ah, yeah, that's true." Wood said trying to put a smile on.
Right then Dumbledore came in and smiled at Erica and Wood, and he asked her how she felt.
"Wood, I think it's time for me to tell her, don't you think?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Wood said, tears running down his cheek.
Erica looked at him, and grabbed his hand, he looked up, and she smiled at him. *How can she be smiling* He asked himself. *She's about to find out the worst news in the world, and she's as happy as hell. We cant tell her, we just cant.*
"Professor, please, it'll break- Oh, Professor, please don't I love her too much."
Erica smiled, but a smile that said, "what the hell is going on here?"
"Well, I'm sorry to be rude in anyway, but, why are you guys so upset, I'm confused."
"As you should be, Erica."
"Huh?" Erica said confused.
Wood kissed her hand, and looked up at her trying to be as affectionate as possible. Kayla and Draco were sitting on the bed next to Erica's.
"What's going on?" Erica said freaked out.
Wood held her hand. And Professor Dumbledore spoke.
"I have some bad news for you Erica." Professor Dumbledore started. "It seems your Mother and your Father had, over-run a few of Voldemorts supporters, and they, well. They got killed."
Erica looked as though she was about to burst into a dozen pieces. She started to cry. Wood grabbed her and gave her a big hug. He whispered in her ear, "It's ok Erica." She gave Wood the biggest hug. She cried on his shoulder, and having Erica crying was making Wood cry. "I hate to see you like this Erica." He whispered softly into her ear.
She looked up at him, smiled, and kissed his cheek.
Erica was too heart-broken to say anything, but being in Woods arms made everything around her disappear. "Erica, your mother wanted me to save this for you." Dumbledore said holding up her mothers wedding ring."Wow, really?" She asked, words barely coming out of her mouth.
"She said, she would want no one else to have it." He said with a smile on his face.
"Thank-you." She said softly. "This means alot to me."
"Professor, who will I go to? I cant stay at that house alone. I'll be too freaked out." She asked.
"You will move in with your Aunts in The states." Said Dumbledore sadly.
"I CANT LIVE WITH THEM!" She said horrified. "They'll never let me do anything, it's like being trapped in a cage! It's-"
"I know you don't like them Erica, but you have too."
Wood looked at Erica and then at Dumbledore, who was looking at him. Wood shook his head towards Dumbledore mouthing off something to him. Dumbledore told him to tell him later.
Erica was sitting on her bed, head in her hands. She was thinking of what she was in for living with her aunts. Oliver came up beside her and wrapped his arm around her. She looked up, her eyes, big and red, and said, "I don't want to leave you." She said crying. "I don't want to leave you either Erica."
He said sadly. Erica leaned on Woods shoulder and said, "I love you so much, I wish I could stay here with you forever. But, why'd this have to happen to me?" She said crying.
"I don't know." Wood said seriously. "It's ok. Don't worry."
"This is dragon shit." Draco yelled.
"Yeah exactly." Wood said.
"We should go and talk to dumbledore." Wood said.
"Yeah, cause I want to make sure Kayla is ok. I Love Kayla, and if anything happens to her, I will die. She is my everything." Draco said.
"Yeah, I feel the same way about Erica. Lets go get Dumbledore."
