They all walked into the infirmary as their past selves left.

"But... You were right there." Ron stated, pointing forward.

"What is he talking about?" Parker asked, raising a brow.

"Don't ask me, it must be the medicine they gave him." Erica stated, walking over to him.

"Are you alright, Ron?" Hermione asked, "I think he needs sleep."

"Just think Ron, the quicker you sleep, the quicker you get to watch the Quidditch World Cup." Erica reminded him.

"Are you guys going to it?" Parker asked, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, Ron is really excited." Erica said, sitting on the chair next to his bed.

"Viktor Krum is going to be there. Of course I'm bloody excited." Ron nodded.

"I'll have to try and sneak away, try to join you guys." Parker sighed.

"Do you think the Dursleys will let me go?" Harry asked.

"We'll send them a letter." Erica told him,"If they say no, we'll kidnap you."

"Tell them that they better let you come or 'My father will hear about this.'" Parker joked.

"I get that it's a joke but they'd just say,'Your dad's dead, shut up'." Harry stated.

"Ignore them Harry. It's just a few weeks, then you'd be with us." Ron told him, "You'll love it.'

"Let's hope the twins don't try anything. They've made they're own sweets now." Erica informed him.

"Oh god." Hermione sighed, "As long as we're all careful."

"Just don't eat anything at the Burrow unless it was given to you by our mother." Ron told them.

"Noted." They nodded.

As they rode the train a small owl fell in the window with a note attached, right onto Ron. Ron looked at the others before he opened the note and read it.

"Sorry about your rat." Ron read out, picking up the owl.

"Do you think its from Sirius?" Hermione asked.

"Most likely." Erica stated, doodling in her sketchbook.

"Where do you think he's gone?" Parker asked.

"Since the ministry is still looking for them, he's on the run with Buckbeak." Harry explained.

"How long do you think it'll be before they just stop looking?" Hermione asked.

"Who knows?" Ron replied.

"Let's hope not long." Parker sighed, "I'll try talk my dad out of looking for them. I'll try all summer if I have to."

"Oh, I get to see my goat when we get home." Erica realized.

"You weren't lying?" Hermione asked.

"Whats their name?" Parker tilted her head.

"Bob." Erica answered.

"Quite simple, really. I thought she would've named it something big." Ron told them.

"Well, it's your turn to name a pet." Erica told him.

Ron looked down at the owl, "He almost looks like a pig. Let's name him.. Pigwidgeon."

"Right then, what's our next conversation about?" Erica asked, looking around.

"How Ron is going crazy." Hermione laughed, "He thought we disappeared."

"We already know that though." Erica stated, going back to her drawing.

"Because you did!" Ron crossed his arms.

"We truly didn't." Parker shrugged.

Erica turned around her drawing,"This was supposed to be Ron but I just can't get the nose right."

They all looked at the drawing.

"Nah, his nose is right." Harry joked.

Erica shrugged before going back to her drawing as it wasn't finished.
