Erica was sat in the Hufflepuff common room with a notebook. She'd been watching Professor Moody for weeks and she'd come to a conclusion. That's when she heard a thump from the walls. 

"Hello?" Erica turned her head.

"Erica? Is that you?" She heard Neville.

"No, it's Kevin." Erica rolled her eyes

"Oh my god, Erica help me out of here. It's too dark!" Neville yelped.

Erica sighed and stood up. She made her way over to the nearest portrait to her and pulled on the hidden doorknob.

Neville fell straight to the floor, looking up at Erica, "Ow."

"You alright?" Erica asked him.

"Better now." Neville stood up.

"So, what brings you down to the Hufflepuff common room?" Erica tilted her head.

"I have a theory." Neville pointed.

"I'm listening." Erica nodded.

"Moody, the new teacher." Neville nodded.

"What about him?" Erica asked.

"He's suspicious. See his flask? What do you think is in it?" Neville asked.

"Hm, well I thought he was drinking on the job." Erica told him.

"Thats what I'm thinking. But..  We should check it out, right?" Neville raised a brow.

"Definitely." Erica nodded.

"What classes do you have today?" Neville looked at her.

"I'm not sure but I know we've got Herbology next." Erica shrugged.

Neville nodded, "Then let's go."

"Alright, lead the way." Erica smiled.

"I got a new plant also, it's pink and very cute." Neville clapped his hands.

"So, like me?" Erica raised a brow.

Neville looked at Erica and nodded with a small smile.

"Ha! You agree that I'm cute." Erica smirked.

"Well.. You are." He shrugged.

"I know." She nodded.

"I think it's something like.. The Black Bat Flower?" Neville remembered.

"That's a nice name." Erica nodded, holding the door open for Neville.

"Thank you.' He nodded and walked through the door.

"You're welcome." Erica smiled, closing the door behind her.

"So how are you doing in Herbology anyway?" Neville asked.

"Uh... Good?" Erica lied.

Neville gave her a look as if to say 'The truth?'

Erica sighed,"I have no clue what I'm doing."

"You should ask me for help, I'm always wanting to help people like Herbology." Neville smiled at her.

"I know but you looked busy so I decided not to ask." Erica shrugged.

"I can always make time for you." Neville shrugged.

"Aw, that's really nice." Erica smiled as they approached the greenhouse.

Neville smiled and opened the greenhouse door for her.

"Thanks." Erica nodded and walked through, taking her place at her workbench.

"So, after this class..Where do you think Mad Eye will be?" Neville raised a brow.

"Probably his office." Erica suggested.

"And we just need to wait until he's gone to look around." Neville nodded.

"Yeah." Erica nodded as Professor Sprout entered.

"Alright, alright! Hello my lovelies." Sprout smiled.

"Hello professor." Everyone spoke.

"Get your gloves on and your jackets too." She pointed.

**

"See? Herbology is fun." Neville told Erica as they walked out the greenhouse.

"Yeah." Erica nodded, she honestly didn't understand anything that was going on in there

"I can help you, later if you'd like." Neville suggested.

"Yes, please." Erica swiftly answered.

"Of course." He nodded.

There wasn't much more conversation as they made their way back into the castle.

"Alright. Moody's office." Neville told Erica as they walked.

"Yep." Erica nodded.

"Let's go." Neville turned the corner.

Erica nodded and followed after. Before they could sneak into Moodys room, they could hear him... Just him.
Was he talking to himself? Erica pressed her ear against the door to listen closer.

"What am I supposed to do Mad Eye?" They heard him talk.

"Why's he talking to himself?* Erica muttered.

"I have no idea. He is mad." Neville shrugged.

"I suppose." She nodded, trying to listen in more.

"I have to do this. That's what he wants. He got me out, we can do this. Sorry, I, can do this." He laughed.

"Do what?" Erica sighed, what's he up to?

"Sorry.." They heard him yelp.

Erica then decided to knock on the door, he didn't seem alright.

Neville looked at Erica, "Wh- What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I've got this." Erica assured him.

After a few seconds of thumping and banging, the door opened and Mad Eye poked his head out.

"Hello Professor." Erica smiled.

"Um.. Miss Weasel- Weasley! What can I do?" He tilted his head.

"I just had some questions about the homework." Erica told him, producing a piece of parchment.

"How do you not know this? God, you're stupid." He took the parchment, glaring at Neville.

"Obviously you failed to teach me." Erica rolled her eyes.

"Well." He shrugged and read it.

"Are you going to help me or not?" Erica sighed.

"..Yes, yes. Out here." He walked out his office.

Erica nodded. Truth be told, she completely understood the homework. Now she'd have to think of another plan... Plan W it is.

"Why can't we come into your office, professor?" Neville asked.

"M-mess." Moody answered quickly.

They didn't buy it.

"We don't mind a little mess professor." Neville shook his head.

"Do you want help or not?" He questioned.

Neville looked at Erica before he nodded slowly to Mad Eye.

"Well, let's do it." Erica sighed.

It had been a while and Mad Eye had just talked.. And talked.. And talked. Erica was tired, she already knew all of this. She just grabbed Neville's hand and pulled him into a passageways while Mad Eye was talking.

'Wh- Erica?" Neville asked.

"Obviously, Plan A just blew up in my face so we're moving onto another plan." Erica told him.

"Plan B?" Neville suggested.

"More like Plan W but I'll take it." Erica nodded.

Neville nodded slowly.

"Lovely. So what is Plan W?" Neville tilted his head as they walked.

"Passageways." Erica answered.

"Alright. We'd have to do it when he goes away." Neville sighed.

"Yeah." Erica nodded.

"What should we do to pass the time?" He smiled.

"Whatever you want to do." Erica shrugged.

"We.. We could go and sit? In a common room?" Neville suggested.

"That sounds nice." Erica nodded,"Any particular one?"

"You can pick." He nodded.

Erica thought about it for a moment. Although she loved her own common room, there was a high chance that Hannah or Max was there.

"Hm, let's go to yours." She decided.

'Alright." He smiled.
