Son Of Evil suggested that I make a friendship with Hagrid. So yeah...

Erica's P.O.V.

When I get to the Hospital Wing Madam Pompfrey asks what happened.

"I just tripped. I'm a bit clumsy."

"Well this won't take long." She takes my wrist and moves it around a little, making tears of pain come to my eyes, not a lot, but a few. She taps her wand on my wrist. I look at my wrist, amazed. It's not swollen any more and it doesn't hurt.

"Thank you." I say, astonished.

"Any time." She smiles at me and then looks at my face where the blood still is. She points her wand at that too and I can feel it disappear off of my face. She smiles and walks back into her office.

I walk slowly down the steps hoping that Severus hasn't found out about what I told Dumbledore.

I come to the Great Hall and decide to go to breakfast. I walk in and everyone looks at me. I gulp back the tears and walk faster to Harry Potter. I sit down next to him and bury my head into my arms. Harry places his hand on my back and tells me it's ok.

"I always knew Snape was no good." Says the red head boy, whos name I still don't know. I look up at him.

He looks me in the eye. He looks like someone, I just can't put my finger on it. I search my mind. Charlie Weasly? I think.

"Are you related to Charlie Weasly?" I ask him.

He nods his head. I smile and wrap my arms around him. "This is just like being back at school, exept for Severus."

Someone pokes me on the back and I look behind me and see Severus, an angry expression on his face.

Uh-oh, I think. "Severus,-"I start.

"I need to talk to you, before classes begin."

"I would like to eat breakfast Severus."

I see the anger rise in his eyes and I gulp. "No, now Erica."

I know he can't hurt me or do anything in The Great Hall. I shake my head. He glares at me but then a hand is placed on his shoulder. Albus Dumbledore is standing behind him.

"Come Severus."

Severus gives me one last dirty look and goes up to the staff table with Professor Dumbledore.

I turn back to the table and try not to let the tears slip from my eyes, but it doesn't work. The tears fall anyways. I cover my face with my hands and get up. I run out of the Great Hall, hardly noticing where I am going. I crash into something huge and soft.

I look up and see that its Hagrid. He looks down at my tear stained and wraps his arms around me. I feel safe in his arms, as if nothing can hurt me. And no one.

He picks me up and carries me outside to his cabin. He opens his cabin door and tells his dog to shush. He carries me to a humongous bed and sets me down on it. I bury my head into the pillow and cry my eyes out.

"I'll be back later." He says to me and stomps out of his house. I stare after him and think how nice and caring he is.

I bury my face back into the pillow and cry. Eventually I fall asleep.

I am awaken by the creaking of a door and a dog barking. I sit up and shield my eyes. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Hagrid walk into the hut.

Hermione runs to me and wraps her arms around my neck.

"I'm so sorry about this all."

"It's O.k. Hermione, I have been thinking about just leaving and going back to my job anyways."

"No! You can't leave!" Ron says, blushing a little.

"Yeah, just because of Snape? You're so cool." Says Harry.

"I just can't face him any longer. I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"Afraid that he might actually, well, you know, kill me. Or almost kill me."

"Tell Professor Dumbledore." Suggests Hermione.

"No. I cant do that. Because then he will be even angrier."

Hagrid is in the backround, making tea.

"If you hate him so much, then just stay away from him." Says Ron.

"That's the promblem," I say, "I think I still love him."
