Chapter 14 - Crushes
"Pansy! Did you take my clothes again?" Parker ran past Blaise and Draco and went to Pansy.
"The Ghost of the Slytherin Fireplace did it." Pansy retorted.
"What?" Parker looked at her in confusion.
"You know, Weasley." Pansy crossed her arms.
"Erica is the ghost- Oh my god." Parker muttered.
"I mean, she did look really cute in your jumper, not gonna lie." Pansy shrugged.
"Who looked better?" Parker looked at her.
"Definitely Weasley." Pansy nodded.
"You're too kind." Parker rolled her eyes and went to the common room.
"You can't deny it. Neville thinks so, too." Pansy told her, following after her.
"That's because Neville fancies Erica." Parkee pointed.
"There's only a few people I can name that don't fancy you two." Pansy shrugged.
"Who?" Parker tilted her head.
"Harry, Ron, Draco..." Pansy trailed off,"Neville doesn't fancy you and Blaise doesn't fancy Erica."
"Great." Parker nodded.
"What if Pansy tells her?" Blaise asked Draco.
"She won't, I paid her." Draco assured him.
"She breaks deals all the time." Blaise sighed.
"Not when I threaten to tell the whole school she likes Weasley, she doesn't." Draco shook his head.
"..Good idea." Blaise nodded.
"Now." Draco paused before giving Blaise a death stare,"You like my f*cking sister?"
"What?" Blaise coughed.
"You have a crush. On Parker. So we need to have a talk." Draco told him.
"Draco- I don't think-" Blaise began.
"You don't get a choice." Draco grabbed his wrist.
Blaise gulped and nodded slowly. Draco lead Blaise along the corridor and shoved him into a dark room. Blaise looked around and tried to see, but he couldn't see two feet in front of him. Draco flipped on the lights and it appeared to be a sort of... Interrogation Room?
"An Interrogation room?" Blaise blinked.
"I feel a lot like Weasley doing this, but I need to do this." Draco stated.
"Don't you think this is a bit extreme?" Blaise asked.
"No, definitely not." Draco shook his head, forcing Blaise into a chair.
"I certainly do." Blaise looked up.
"If you keep up this complaining, I'll unfortunately have to get an expert in." Draco told him.
"Who's the expert?" Blaise questioned.
Draco sighed and turned to a portrait,"You aren't slick, get out."
"I am so." Erica opened the portrait.
"Oh no." Blaise looked to the table.
"Oh no indeed." Draco nodded, turning to Erica,"What are you waiting for? Question him."
"Erica. Please don't. You.. You look great in that jumper." Blaise smiled.
"Aw, you think so?" Erica smiled before drawing her wand,"Flattery won't work on me, Zabini."
"I tried." Blaise sighed.
"Not hard enough. First question. Do you love her?" Erica aimed the wand at his face.
Blaise looked between the two, thinking for a second before he nodded.
"Verbal answers only." Draco glared at him,"Now, do you love her?"
"Yeah! Yeah, I.. I love her." Blaise nodded.
"Good." Erica slowly lowered her wand.
"I'm gonna kill him!" Draco made a run at Blaise but Erica held him back.
"Wh- Do you not want me to?!" Blaise quickly stood up.
"I do!" Draco shouted, still trying to get him.
"He's just a bit, uh, overprotective." Erica told him,"He just wants her to be happy."
"He doesn't need to come for me." Blaise pointed at Draco.
"Don't worry, I gave my brother's partner the same treatment." Erica assured him.
"It's scary." Blaise nodded.
"It's supposed to be." Erica smiled.
"Draco, if I sit down. Will you promise to not attack me?" Blaise looked at his friend.
Draco thought for a second before nodding,"Alright."
Blaise hesitated before he slowly sat back down.
"So... Do you promise to treat her right?" Draco questioned him.
"Draco, I'm not even in a relationship with her, yet." Blaise sighed.
"Just answer the question and nobody else gets hurt." Erica crossed her arms.
"Yes, I'll treat her right." Blaise nodded.
"And will you not make stupid decisions in front of her?" Draco raised a brow.
"Like what?" Blaise tilted his head.
"Most of the things you do in front of me." Draco answered, gaining a few looks from Erica.
"Ah, yes." Blaise cleared his throat, "No, I will not make stupid decisions."
"What do you do, Blaise?" Erica questioned him.
"Nothing at all." Blaise shook his head.
"I'll tell you later." Draco told her.
"Is..That all the questions?" Blaise looked at the two.
"I think so." Erica nodded.
"Draco?" He glanced at him, "Do you promise not to attack me once we leave this room?"
"Of course I won't." Draco shook his head,"Parker would kill me if I murdered her future husband."
"Quick question.. Does she talk about me?" Blaise raised a brow.
"Obviously, or I wouldn't be here." Erica rolled her eyes.
"What does she say?" Blaise turned to her.
Erica cleared her throat,"Erica, did you see Blaise? Why is he so goddamn pretty? Do you think he likes me?"
"Well I am quite pretty." He chuckled and did a small hair flip.
Erica paused,"If you say so."
"Wh-" Blaise stopped himself and crossed his arms.
"Admit it, Parker's way prettier." Erica shrugged.
"Well..Yeah, she is." Blaise muttered.
"I know, she's my best friend." Erica nodded.
"Draco!" They heard Parker shout.
"I'm not here!" Draco shouted back.
"I can clearly hear you, what are you doing in there?" Parker knocked on the door while Blaise looked at Erica.
"We're drinking!" Erica blurted out.
"Erica?- You two are drinking.. Together?" Parker spoke slowly.
"Definitely." Erica told her.
"..Then I want in, unlock the door." Parker nodded.
"No!" Erica blocked the door with her body.
"Erica Maria Weasley, open this door right now." Parker warned.
"You're not my mother!" Erica shook her head.
"I can get her if you'd wish!" Parker pointed.
"Maria?" Draco sniggered.
"Your middle name is Lucius, it's isn't that much better." Erica reminded him.
"Shut up." Draco rolled his eyes.
"Your mother has been contacted!" Parker knocked on the door.
"No, not my mother!" Erica shouted.
"Then let me in!" Parker yelped.
"Nu-uh." Erica crossed her arms.
"Oh, is that a letter from Mrs Weasley herself?" Parker hummed.
"I don't think it is." Erica told her.
Parker smirked before she opened the letter.
"Erica Weasley, how dare you be so rude to Parker! She's going through so much and you won't let her see you?! Let her in that room right now or i will come to Hogwarts myself! Oh, but well done on your good results on your tests." She heard Molly.
"You get good results?" Draco asked her.
"I'm not a f*cking moron like you." Erica snapped back at him.
Blaise laughed and sat back.
"...Is it Blaise?" Parker blinked.
"No it's, uh... You wouldn't believe me if I said it was Ron, would you?" Erica asked.
"Blaise Louis Zabini, did you seriously not invite me?" Parker tried to push open the door.
Erica squeaked and held the door shut.
"I didn't have a choice in this." Blaise informed her.
"Let me in, please Blaise?" Parker gently knocked.
"Ok, I admit it! We're not drinking! We just kidnapped and interrogated your boyfriend!" Erica gave in.
"Erica!" Draco groaned.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Parker whined.
"Well, good news. He will be soon." Erica told her.
"What?" Both Parker and Blaise asked.
"And that's my cue to leave, have fun Ferret Boy." Erica jumped into the portrait.
Parker quickly burst into the room and looked around. Erica had abandoned Draco in the Interrogation Room with Blaise on the chair and himself by a desk.
"Boys. Explain yourself." Parker crossed her arms.
"What about Weasley?" Draco questioned, pointing at the portrait.
"I'll deal with her later." Parker nodded.
Draco sighed,"We just wanted to make sure he was worthy of you."
"Stop interrogating the poor boy." Parker sighed and walked up to Blaise.
"He's fine, aren't you Blaise?" Draco asked him.
"Perfect." Blaise nodded slowly.
"See? I didn't let Weasley hurt him." Draco pointed.
"What about you?" She pointed back at him.
"I didn't touch him." Draco defended himself.
"Blaise?" Parker looked back at him.
"Erica stopped him from attacking me." Blaise stated.
"You what?!" Parker got out her wand.
"Hey!" Draco raised his hands,"Erica threatened him with her wand."
"And now I'm threatening you with mine. Bad Draco." She pointed.
Draco whined,"Don't you have Pansy to threaten or something?"
"Already done." Parker shrugged.
"Then make out with Blaise and leave me alone." Draco rolled his eyes.
Parker looked at Blaise and cleared her throat, "..Excuse me while I go kill Erica."
She then jumped through the portrait that Erica travelled through.
"Have fun~" Draco called to her.
Parker raised her middle finger and shouted, "Erica!"
Erica quickly looked around every possible place she could hide from this and her eyes landed on... Neville. This will end will.
"Miss Weasley!" Parker continued shouting as she walked down the hall.
Erica ran up to Neville,"Please, you have to hide me!"
"Wh- Erica?" Neville looked at her.
"She's after me, just hide me." Erica told him.
Neville took her hand before he pulled her to the closet, "Stay quiet?"
Erica nodded as she got inside, she didn't want Parker finding her.
"Right. I'll cover for you." Neville nodded.
"You're the best." Erica whispered, shutting the door.
Neville smiled at her comment before he sat down.
Parker walked in, looking around, "Nev."
"Parker?" Neville raised a brow.
"Hi." She smiled, "Have you happened to see a ginger girl, sister of Ginny, Ron, the twins, y'know?"
"I don't think I've seen anyone like that." Neville shook his head.
"Oh come on, she had to have come through this way." Parker tilted her head.
"Actually, she might've went that way." Neville pointed.
Parker raised a brow and looked at him.
"There's a portrait along there, she's showed me." Neville explained.
That's when Parker had an idea, "Alright. But can I.. Can I talk to you real quick?"
"Sure. What about?" Neville asked her.
"It's about Erica." She nodded.
"Uh, alright." Neville nodded, looking a bit confused.
"You see.. She's a really nice girl, right?" Parker hummed.
"Uh huh." Neville nodded again, this time slower.
"Right well, she really likes-" Parker began.
"Parker, you continue that f*cking sentence and I'll murder your boyfriend!" Erica burst out from the closet.
Parker smirked and looked at Erica, "She really likes these sweets, I think you should get her them at some point."
Erica then realized her mistake,"F*ck."
"Bye Nev." Parker waved and held Erica's ear and pulled her.
"Parker, that hurts!" Erica smacked her hand.
"What do you think you were doing?" Parker crossed her arms.
"I never put much thought into anything these days, you know that." Erica told her.
"Why were you interrogating Blaise?" Parker asked.
Erica sighed,"Well... You're my best friend, right?"
"Yes, I am." Parker nodded.
"I don't want any more bad things to happen to you. Ever." Erica stated.
"Blaise couldn't hurt a fly." Parker stated.
"Yes he could, have you seen him duel?" Erica questioned.
"Well, other than him dueling." Parker chuckled.
"That boy ain't harmless. It's like, well, when people say I'm harmless." Erica told her.
"Well he.. He wouldn't hurt me." Parker nodded, "Just like Neville wouldn't hurt you."
"I mean, that's a given." Erica sighed,"I don't know Blaise like you do so I need to find out about him."
"Blaise is.. Like Neville in a way. Kind, caring, smart." Parker shrugged, "Speaking of Neville. How's your little crush?"
Erica made an attempt at speech that cane out all jumbled but quickly regained her composure,"This isn't about me, Parker."
Parker laughed, "Okay, promise me you'll stop interrogating Blaise."
"Fine, fine, I suppose." Erica sighed.
"Thank you." Parker smiled.
"Your welcome, I guess." Erica shrugged.
Parker hummed, "Now, how about a trip to the leaky cauldron?"
"Are you paying?" Erica raised a brow.
Parker nodded.
"You've got yourself a deal." Erica smiled.
Parker took her hand before they left.
