Unknown Origins - HP Roleplay Book

Chapter 39 - It's Hidden

They'd been back at school for a few days and Erica was walking to the Gryffindor common room to apologize for being a bit harsh on Ron after he started dating Lavender. When Erica got inside, she went up to the dorms and saw Ron, holding a love heart shaped box, looking out the window with a dreamy smile on his face.

"Uh, Ron?" Erica asked, trying to get his attention.

"Erica!" Ron smiled and got up from the window.

"Yes, it's me. Are you feeling alright?" Erica asked him, he was acting unusual.

"I found this box, I thought I'd try one, or twenty." Ron shrugged.

"Mhm." Erica nodded looking at the box.

"I can't stop thinking about her Erica." Ron announced proudly.

"Honestly, I was starting to think that she was annoying you." Erica shrugged, sitting on his bed.

"She could never annoy me." Ron jumped onto his bed, beside her, "I think I love her."

"W-well, brilliant." Erica stammered, standing up.

This wasn't how Ron acted over the Christmas break. He was constantly complaining about how chapped his lips were because of her constant kissing.

"Do you think she knows I exist?" Ron asked as he crawled to the end of the bed.

"I'd bloody well hope so, she's been snogging you for three months." Erica crossed her arms, sitting on Harry's bed.

"Snogging?" Rons smile dropped, "Who you talking about?"

Erica paused and raised a brow at her brother,"Who are you talking about?"

"Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane." Ron replied.

"Heh, alright, very funny." Erica chuckled as she got up and went to pick up the scattered wrappers.

Ron stood up and just simply threw the box he was holding at his sister.

"Ow, what was that for?" Erica questioned, as she held the back of her head.

"It's no joke! I'm in love with her!" Ron's voice cracked at 'love' which Erica found hilarious.

"Alright fine, you're in love with her." Erica shouted back at him before realising,"Have you ever actually met her?"

"No.. Can you introduce me?" Ron asked before he dreamily went back to the window.

Erica sighed as she looked at at the note on the chocolates. As Erica expected, they were for Harry, she'd caught Romilda staring at him a couple times. Erica then walked over and patted her brother's shoulder.

"I'm going to introduce you to Romilda Vane." Erica rolled her eyes.

"You are?" Ron asked with a smile, standing up.

Erica nodded as she dragged him all the way to Slughorn's classroom and knocked on the door.

After a minute, the door opened and Slughorn appeared.

"I know it's late sir, but I wouldn't bother you unless it was very important." Erica told him.

"That's Romilda?" Ron asked from behind Erica.

"What's the matter with your brother?" Slughorn asked.

"A very powerful love potion." Erica whispered to him.

"Very well, better bring him." Slughorn opened his door fully and let them in.

"I would've thought that you could whip up a remedy in no time, Erica." Slughorn told her, gesturing to how well she did in his class.
