Chapter 6
The nest day Erin was absent from class. This was unusual because Erin always went to class; even if she was sick.
Harry and Hermione were walking to potions hand in hand when they walked past Crabbe and Goyle. They were whispering but both Hermione and Harry could both here what they were saying. "Malfoy hasn't been in class all day and he wasn't in the boy's dormitory this morning." And then Pansy who was walking alongside them shrieked "Where could my precious Malfoy be?"
With that, Harry started laughing. But at the same time he was thinking about how odd it was that Erin and Malfoy were both absent from class on the same day. "Do you thinkā¦" Hermione began but Harry cut her off. "Yes, I think so, because Ron was really ticked off after Erin kissed Malfoy yesterday" whispered Harry.
After Potions Harry and Hermione were walking near the edge of the lake, when they spotted Erin and Malfoy, holding hands and talking in a clove of trees. Suddenly, Malfoy let go of Erin's hand and told her to close her eyes, pulled out his wand and muttered something of which they couldn't here. Then there was a blinding flash of yellow and when they could see again, the clove of trees which they had been standing in was formed into an arch of tree, and on the trees were flowers of all colors, shapes, and sizes. "Open your eyes" hey heard Malfoy whisper. Erin opened her eyes, took one look at Malfoy's creation and fainted.
Harry and Hermione rushed over to help Malfoy lift up Erin's body to transport to Madame Pomfrey. But suddenly Hermione had another idea. "Harry, Malfoy, put her down, how could I have been so stupid as to not think of this before." Harry and Malfoy gently laid Erin back down. Hermione muttered words of which they couldn't hear and Erin was floating in the air. Hermione started walking towards the castle, with Erin floating along by her side.
"So, Potter, you've found yourself a girlfriend. A dirty mudblood I might add." Sneered Malfoy. "I see you've found yourself a girlfriend to! You better not break her heart, or you'll get it!" Answered Harry in a matter-of-fact tone.
When they finally reached the Hospital Wing, Hermione lowered Erin onto a bed and got Madame Pomfrey. Malfoy left only seconds after they arrived. In five minutes Erin had come round and looked around confused.
"What happened? Where's Malfoy?" Erin questioned. "He ran off." Hermione answered.
