Chapter 37 - Slughorn's Party

"Okay, so let me get this straight. You're going to sneak us into the party?" Parker asked Erica while they walked.

"Yes, I've heard about the parties and I want to see. Harry's inviting Luna, Ginny's inviting Dean and Hermione's inviting Cormac to make Ron jealous." Erica informed her friend.

Parker shrugged, "That.. Actually is a good plan for Hermione."

"But Cormac's the worst." Erica sighed,"I had one conversation and I already hate him."

"Oh, I agree. He's a total ass." Parker rolled her eyes.

Erica saw Hermione and Cormac talking in a room as they past by. Erica then took out her notebook out her notebook and started writing something.

"What are you writing?" Parker asked.

Erica just nodded as she took out some 'Forever Tape' that she made with the twins. She took the page out of her notebook and walked off. Parker saw her pat Cormac on the back before returning to her.

"Let me guess, it stays on forever?" Parker tilted her head.

"Not really, it stays sticky forever though." Erica corrected as Cormac walked past with a 'Kick Me' sign on his back.

"Guess someone else got to him as well." Parker chuckled while Draco walked up to them.

"Actually, I wrote the 'Kick Me' and then taped it on." Erica then noticed Draco,"What do you need Dray?"

"Parker." Draco just said simply.

"I'm coming." She gave her arm a small tap to show Erica what it was meaning, "I'll be back in five, wait here for me."

The two then quickly went down the hall. Erica shrugged before starting to plan her route into the party.

"What do we need to do now?" Parker asked while they walked.

"There's a cupboard, I need to fix it." Draco explained to her.

"They're at the other side, aren't they?" Parker sighed.

Draco nodded before stopping,"Why did they choose me?"

"In their eyes, men are more powerful than women." Parker informed him, "You're who they picked, Lucius requested it. Said that since you're the male in the family, you should do it. Narcissa doesn't want you to do it, neither do I. We're just kids, Dray. We shouldn't be doing this."

"He told me I was going to die. I-I don't want to die." Draco stammered, trying to keep it together.

"You're not going to die, I promise." Parker took his hand and squeezed it, "I made a promise to you at the start of the year, didn't I? That we're in this together, we're gonna look after each other. Because that's what we've always done."

Draco nodded,"Let's get this over with."

"It'll be over before we know it." Parker assured him while they walked into the room, the wardrobe was already covered with a dusty cloth. Draco pulled off the cloth and took out a green apple. Parker then opened the door to the wardrobe, making sure nothing was inside before Draco put the apple in, closing the door after he did so.

"Do you think it still works?" Draco asked her.

"If it didn't, I don't believe they'd choose this specific  wardrobe." Parker replied.

"You never know." Draco sighed as he opened the door.

Inside, the apple was gone.

"That's your answer." Parker looked to the ground with a small sigh.
