Chapter 11 - The train home

Erica let Percy and Oliver do their own thing so she came over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to her friends.

"Is Percy okay?" Parker asked Erica.

"He's very happy." Erica answered.

"That's good." Parker nodded before Dumbledore went on with his speech.

After the speech, Erica met up with Oliver and Percy, deciding to sit with them on the train home.

"You sitting in with us, Erica?" Oliver asked while he sat down.

Erica nodded, sitting next to Percy.

"Any particular reason?" Oliver asked again.

"I think she just misses me for too much." Percy shrugged.

Erica giggled before pointing down the corridor,"Percy! Someone's turned someone else into a chicken."

Percy sighed, "I'll be back." He stood up before going out into the corridor.

Erica smiled before turning to Oliver,"Let's get some things straight. If you hurt him in ANY way, I kill you. That alright?"

"I'm sorry?" Oliver blinked a few times.

"You heard me Wood. If you hurt Percy in any way I will come find you and kill you." Erica warned him.

"Noted." Oliver nodded, "But I would never hurt Percy."

"I know, just a reminder." Erica told him as Percy walked back in.

"I see you two are getting along?" Percy asked, taking his place again.

"Oh, very well." Oliver told him.

Erica took out her sketchbook and started to draw.

"So what are you doing for the holidays, Erica?" Oliver asked.

"Um... Percy, do we have anything planned?" Erica asked him, looking up from her drawing.

"I believe we're going to Egypt." Percy nodded.

"We can afford that?" Erica questioned, closing her sketchbook.

"Mother somehow got a lot of money at the start of the year." Percy shrugged, "Don't know how."

"The lottery!" Erica exclaimed,"I always thought it was rigged."

"You guys better enjoy it, I've heard its amazing." Oliver nodded.

"I bet Percy wishes you could come." Erica whispered, instantly regretting it.

Percy looked down at Erica and nudged her.

"Oh, Bill's working in Egypt." Erica remembered.

"He is?" Percy asked, "I thought he was in Romania?"

"No Percy, that's Charlie. Charlie is working with dragons in Romania and Bill is working at Gringotts in Egypt." Erica explained, proud that she remembered.

"I swear Bill was in Romania for a bit." Percy muttered.

"Wait, how many siblings do you have again?" Oliver asked the siblings.

"Seven siblings, eight children. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Me and Ginny." Erica answered.

"How is there room in your house?" Oliver asked.

"Well, Bill and Charlie are away in different countries so  they don't live with us, that's a start." Percy stated.

"Still, that's six children. Plus your parents." Oliver tilted his head.

"Don't ask me, I can't do calculations." Erica sighed, leaning back in her chair.

"We just make do." Percy shrugged.

"It doesn't matter, I was just curious." Oliver said, looking in his bag for something.

"You always are." Percy hummed.

"Smart people are always curious." Erica yawned, putting her glasses in her pocket.

"Aw, she called you smart." Percy looked at Oliver.

"Or she's implying you aren't, we never know here." Oliver pointed out.

"Oh, you should be careful of the twins when we get home. They've been practicing potions." Erica added before nodding off.

"Oh Merlin." Percy muttered.
