"Er, I don't want you fighting him." Parker paced.

"Why? He deserves it." Erica turned around sharply.

"Because you both have very short tempers and can be aggressive. I know what you're both like." Parker sighed.

"Come on, just let me speak with him at least." Erica tilted her head.

"What exactly will happen during this talk?" Parker raised a brow.

"I'll strictly tell him not to do anything like that again. I won't use fists. Or my wand." Erica assured her.

"Promise me." Parker sighed.

"I promise." Erica laid her hand over her heart.

Parker hesitated before she nodded, "Fine."

"Thank you, Parker." Erica nodded as she started walking down the corridor.

"I'm watching you, Weasley." Parker pointed.

"I know." Erica sighed.

Parker hummed before she walked off. Erica then started to run, this is probably the quickest she was ever going to break a promise. Luckily Parker had turned her back when Erica ran. Erica hadn't noticed and continued to where she expected Draco to be. Draco was with Blaise and Pansy at the Great Hall, talking at the tables.

"Hey, Malfoy." Erica stormed over to him,"A word."

"Weasley?" Draco turned to her.

"Outside." Erica pointed to the hallway.

"No." Draco scoffed and turned back to the others.

"It wasn't a choice." Erica told him, her arms crossed.

Draco slowly turned to her, chuckling before he got up, "Fine."

"Right then." Erica nodded, walking outside.

Draco shook his head before he followed Erica outside, "What is it?"

"I've told you multiple times to do what, Malfoy?" Erica asked him.

"You've told me a lot of things.' Draco shrugged.

"Think recently." Erica told him.

Draco tilted his head, "Oh! Not to hurt your little boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend." Erica glared at him.

"You act like it." Draco shrugged.

"Well, it looks like you didn't listen to me." Erica stepped closer.

"I don't take orders, especially from Weasleys." He nodded.

"Oh, really?" Erica tilted her head, grabbing his collar.

Draco looked shocked, Erica was acting out?

"What? Scared?" Erica raised a brow.

"Of course not." Draco scoffed.

"Then do something." Erica smirked.

Draco looked at her before he shoved her back.

"That all you got?" She asked him.

"I'm not fighting with a Weasley." Draco scoffed.

"Well, I'm fighting you. Deal with it." Erica told him.

"Deal with it yourself." He shook his head and went to walk off.

That's when she grabbed his shoulder,"We're not finished, Malfoy."

Draco tilted his head at Erica. Erica lowered her eyes and threw him to the ground. Draco grunted as he landed on the ground. Erica stepped over to him and looked down. That's when Draco got out his wand and blasted Erica back. She smacked against the wall behind her and fell forward slightly. She knew she promised not to use her wand but she'd already used her fists.

"Want to play that game, Weasley?" Draco smirked.

"Hm, I think I do." Erica nodded, getting out her wand.

"Stupify!" Draco quickly pointed.

The spell fired right next to her face. That was close.

"Confringo!" Erica yelled, aiming her wand lower.

After a few more spells were shouted, they both heard a small 'ahem'.

"What do you want now?" Erica questioned, not turning to her.

"That is no way to speak to me." Umbridge hummed.

"You don't deserve my respect." Erica crossed her arms.

"My office, now." Umbridge dropped her smile.

"Fine." Erica rolled her eyes, she was acting tough but she was really scared.

"Mr Malfoy. Go get yourself cleaned up." Umbride nodded.

"Oh, Mr Inquisitorial Squad gets off scot-free?" Erica asked, starting to walk.

"He was the victim in this situation." Unbridge explained.

"Aw, poor Malfoy.* Erica scoffed.

"Hurry up." Umbridge walked past her

"I am." She rolled her eyes.

"What was that?" Umbridge turned to her.

"Nothing." Erica sighed as they reached her office.

"Have a seat." Umbridge slowly walked to the desk, "Would you like some tea?"

"No." Erica shook her head,"I want to leave."

"That's a shame." Umbridge sighed and sat down.

"Well, what am I writing today?" Erica sighed.

Umbridge thought before she nodded, "I will not be violent."

Erica didn't say anything in response, she just picked up the quill and began writing out her punishment.

After it was done, Umbridge slowly sat down her tea, "Have you learned your lesson?"

"Yes, professor." Erica nodded slowly, standing up.

"Good. Now run along." Umbridge nodded.

Erica nodded and quickly walked out of her office, closing the door behind her.

"Erica." Parker quickly ran up to her friend.

"Yes?" Erica looked at her.

"What did I tell you not to do?" She sighed.

"Fight Malfoy." Erica answered her.

"And what did you do?" Parker crossed her arms.

"Fight Malfoy.'" Erica sighed.

Parker shook her head, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Nah, he couldn't touch me." Erica assured her.

"What about Umbridge?" She pointed to the office.

"She said I have one last chance to prove I'm not 'a dangerous individual'" Erica lied.

"You're very dangerous." Parker chuckled.

"Oh, I know but she doesn't." Erica shrugged.

"Come on." Parker took her good hand, luckily and pulled her.

"I'm coming." Erica sighed, hiding her other hand behind her back.

"We're going to get you some food to feel better." Parker nodded.

"That sounds nice." Erica smiled.

"Would you like my cookies or the elves?" Parker turned to her.

"Yours, please." Erica told her.

"I knew you would." Parker smiled.

"They're the best." Erica shrugged.

"I know." Parker hummed happily.
