Chapter 34 - Nightmares?

"Mum?" Ginny called up the stairs.

"Yes dear?" Molly asked.

"I just wanted to know when Harry got here." Ginny told her.

"What? Harry? Harry Who?" Molly walked downstairs slightly.

"Harry Potter of course." Ginny replied, holding the banister.

"I think I would know if Harry Potter was in my house, wouldn't I?" Molly continued walking downstairs.

"Well, his trunk is in the living room and his owl." Ginny informed her as Ron appeared from the very top.

"Did someone say Harry?" Ron asked.

"Me nosey, is he up there with you?" Ginny looked up at her older brother.

"No, I think I'd know if my best friend was with me." Ron stated before turning around,"Erica, is Harry in there?"

"No, why would he be in here?" Erica questioned before shutting something quite loudly.

"What did you bang this time?" Ron asked while he began walking downstairs.

"Cupboard." Erica called to him.

Ron rolled his eyes, Hermione was following just after Ron.

"So, why are you here? Harry's supposedly here." Erica asked Parker who had appartated into her cupboard.

"He is." Parker nodded, "And I wanted to talk to you about something."

She walked out of the cupboard.

"About what?" Erica questioned her.

Parker slowly closed the door to the room before leaning against it, "Everyone's at the Manor. The Death Eaters. Including my mother."

"Well, that's never a good way to start the year." Erica stated, sitting down on Ron's bed.

"Tell me about it." Parker sighed, "Good thing? My bedroom is the attic room, no one hardly goes up there. Bad thing? I can't really spy on them. But.. It only gets worse."

"There's always something worse." Erica sighed before asking jokingly,"What happened, did they make you a Death Eater?"

Parker looked at Erica before down at her hands, which were picking at her nails.

"No fucking way." Erica shook her head before looking at her friend,"Do I just jinx everything I talk about?"

"It wasn't by choice. I went to bed then woke up to this excruciating pain on my arm." Parker rolled up her sleeve slightly to show the mark, "But Aunt Narcissa, she did something to it. She made it so it wouldn't hurt, or so I wouldn't have to come to Voldemort when he called on us."

"See? At least there's one person in the manor that cares." Erica tried looking on the bright side.

"Erica! Come downstairs, Harry's here." Ron called to her.

"We can't tell them." Parker shook her head, "Especially Harry. So can we keep this between us?"

"My lips are sealed." Erica assured her before running out of the room and downstairs.

"Finally, thought you died up there." Ron told his sister.

"You never know, I could've fallen on something." Erica shrugged,"Hey Harry."

"Hi Erica, you alright?" Harry asked while he hugged her.

"I'm doing good, what about you?" Erica answered him.
