"Draco, I'm doing my hair." Parker sighed as her door was knocked on.

Draco was holding onto the doorknob tightly,"Parker, I... Dad wants me to tell you something."

Parker sighed and opened her door,"I told him I'm not going to the meetings."

"It's..." He sighed,"It's a bit more, uh, serious than that."

Parker raised her brow, "Come on in."

Draco bit his lip, playing with his hair nervously,"He... They want you out."

Parker looked at him,"Want me out? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Out of the house."

She crossed her arms, taking a minute before she spoke,"They're... They're kicking me out?"

Draco nodded silently.

"What's their reason?"

"I-I don't know. Maybe they don't trust you or you're very openly against them?"

"Obviously I'm very openly against them." Parker hesitated before she shook her head,"Why- Why dd they send you?"

"Parker, I don't know." Draco looked down.

"Do... Do you want me out?"

"Of course not!" Draco quickly shook his head.

Parker bit her cheek before she pulled Draco into her room. Draco looked up at her, trying to mask the fact he was near tears.

"Hey- Don't cry." Parker sighed and hugged Draco.

"I'm not crying." Draco hugged back, hiding his face

"Dray." Parker whispered and kissed his shoulder.

"I'm not."

"Yeah, yeah." Parker gently rubbed her back.

She had done nothing, what did she do to be kicked out?... This was her home.

"I'm sorry." Draco sighed.

Parker sighed and hugged him tighter. Draco didn't let go either.

"When do they want me gone?"

"By tonight"

"Oh merlin." She sighed.

"I can help you pack." Draco offered.

Parker looked at him,"... Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Parker sighed and rubbed her head,"Yeah- I mean... If you want."

"I want to, y'know, spend some time with you before you have to go." He nodded.

Parker nodded slowly, she didn't know where she was going to go,"Right then."

Draco sighed and bent down to pick up some of Parker's things. After a while, Parker had packed most of her things so she sat on the bed and crossed her legs.

Draco sighed, placing a bag beside,"I think that's all of it.."

"I don't wanna go." Parker whispered.

"I don't want that either." Draco shook his head.

"Surely we can do something-"

"No." Draco cut her off,"I tried but... They won't listen."

"This is... Is so stupid." Parker covered her face.

"I know.."

Parker sighed as she wiped her eyes.

"We... We have to be strong, okay?"

Parker nodded as she looked at Draco. Draco didn't look at her for long, watching as the sky darkened though her window.

It took a minute before Parker got up and grabbed her bag,"Guess I should go."

"Parker... I'm sorry." Draco sighed.

"I'll try to contact you." Parker shook her head.

"Please do." He nodded.

Parker quickly hugged Draco before she left.

*********************************

Erica was laid on Ron's bed, he and Harry were somewhere else, she wasn't really paying attention when they were talking to her. That's when Erica got a call.

Erica quickly grabbed the phone, answering it,"Uh, hi?"

"Erica?" Blaise asked-Blaise?

"Blaise? Why are you calling me? Call your girlfriend." Erica yawned.

"That's who I'm calling about- She isn't my girlfriend." Blaise groaned.

"She is too, now what do you want?" Erica asked.

"She's at my house."

"Parker, why are you at Blaise's house?" Erica called down the phone.

"I got kicked out." Parker muttered.

"Parker, I can't hear you. Blaise is breathing too loud." Erica told her.

"Hey!"

"I got kicked out." She sighed.

Erica was silent,"So you chose to go to Blaise's house?"

"No, he found me."

"I'm coming over." Erica told her

"Okay." Parker sighed as Blaise hung up the phone.

Moments later, came a loud knock at the door.

"How the fuck-" Blaise got up and opened the door.

Erica was stood, arms crossed.

"She's in my room." Blaise sighed and opened the door fully.

"Keep your hands where I can see them." Erica pointed, walking past Blaise.

"Yeah, mhm." Blaise nodded.

Erica shook her head and continued towards Blaise's room. When Erica walked in, she saw Parker wrapped in a blanket.

"Aw, poor soul." Erica walked over and hugged her.

Parker hugged Erica and whispered,"They got Draco to tell me to leave."

Erica was taken aback slightly, she'd... Never seen Parker like this. Ever. She knew the oppos ite was true but... Now she had to be like Parker was for her.

"How did you get here so quick?" Parker looked up at her.

"Uh... I'm just... Uh, very fast." Erica told her.

"Mhm." Parker nodded.

"I totally am."

"You are, but Blaise lives 20 minutes away from you." Parker smiled.

"Look, borrowing is alright if it belongs to your brothers." Erica assured her.

"Did you take a broom?"

"Obviously." Erica nodded,"I needed practice anyway."

"Erica-" Parker went to scold her.

"Would you rather me being here or not?" Erica cut her off.

"Be here." Parker nodded.

"Exactly, I know you." Erica patted her head.

Parker sighed and leaned against her friend,"I did nothing wrong."

"I know you didn't." Erica hugged her.

"What do I do now?" Parker bit her cheek.

"Come live with me."

"You've already got enough on your plate." Parker shook her head.

"No."

"Your family is overflowing." Parker reminded her.

"What else should I do? Leave you here with Blaise?" Erica pointed.

"I mean.." Blaise hummed.

"Keep your mouth shut, boy." Erica glared at him.

"I'll make tea." Blaise walked off.

"Good, some privacy." Erica sighed.

"You're good at hugs..Has anyone told you that?" Parked hummed.

"Percy did once." She nodded.

"I bet Neville likes your hugs." Parker chuckled.

"Oh, shush." Erica shook her head.

Parker sat up a little and put the blanket around the two.

"Cozy time." Erica hummed.

"You okay?" Parker asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Erica raised a brow.

"I always make sure." Parked shrugged.

"Well I'm fine, trust me."

"Where'd you get that bruise-" Parker began to mother Erica.

"Hey- Nothing!" Erica pulled her sleeve down.

"Erica." Parker gave a look.

"It's really nothing, okay? We're not talking about me." Erica shook her head.

"I am." Parker smiled.

"Parker."

"Was it Max?"

"Parker, nothing happened. I tripped." Erica sighed.

"Tripped where?"

"In my house."

"What room?"

"The kitchen."

"Left or right side?"

"Left, on the counter."

"Ha! There's no counter on the left. Only the right."

"Stalker." Erica nudged her.

"Tell me what happened or I'll tell Blaise what you've written about Neville in your di-"

"Max hurt me, okay? Are you happy now?" Erica turned away from Parker.

Parker looked at her, sighing and hugged her,"I've told you to tell me when he does that."

"You were dealing with stuff." Erica shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, I'll always have time for you."

"The same is true for me, now you're going to stay with me, okay?"

Parker sighed and nodded slowly.

"Come on, let's go." Erica took her hand.

"But I need to tell Blaise something first."

"Alright." Erica let her go.

Parker smiled and walked downstairs to Blaise.

"I assume you've calmed your crazy best friend?" Blaise asked.

"She's not crazy Blaise." Parker hummed.

Blaise gave Parker a look.

"She's my crazy person." Parker smiled.

"She hates me." Blaise crossed his arms.

"She's... Very protective."

"I never noticed." Blaise took a sip of his tea.

"She's my best friend though."

"But she scares me." He sighed, sitting down his cup

Parker looked at him,"Thank you for bringing me here."

"Oh, it's not a problem."

Parker bit her lip before she leaned up and kissed his cheek before she ran to Erica. Blaise's face reddened as his hand shakily touched his cheek, in shock of what had just happened.

"Okay, I'm ready." Parker nodded.

"Let's go then." Erica walked ahead of her.

"Coming." Parker grabbed her bag,"Bye Blaise."

"Bye, Parker." He waved.

"Are you sure your mum and dad won't mind?" Parker sighed to Erica.

"They won't." Erica assured.

Parker nodded slowly.

"Come on." Erica opened the door.

Parker held her bag to her before she followed her.

"And hop on." Erica closed the door and picked up her broom.

"Do not drop me." Parker pointed as she got on.

"I won't." Erica chuckled as she got on and flew up.

"Thank you." Parker hummed.

"No problem." Erica smiled, flying back towards her house.

Parker leaned her head on Erica's back and watched the stars.

*********************************

"Now Parker, they'll never suspect a thing." Erica assured her as they walked in,"I even left a note this time."

"And at least you didn't bring a car."

"Oh hush, the car was fine." Erica closed the door,"And see? The lights are off. Nobody's awake yet."

"Thank god." Parker hummed and looked at the living room,"Uhm- Erica?"

"What?" She raised a brow.

"Where have you been!?" She heard her mother screech.

"Did you get my note?' Erica asked.

"No, I didn't." Molly crossed her arms.

"Well it's right there." Erica pointed to a yellow piece of paper that she had stuck to the fridge.

"I don't go to the kitchen at night." Molly sighed.

"Well, I was in a hurry." Erica told her.

"Can you explain why your friend is here?" Molly looked at Parker.

Erica looked at Parker before turning back to her mum, "Well, her family's mean and kicked her out and I was wondering if she could stay here?"

"They... Kicked you out?" Molly asked.

"I- Well yeah." Parker sighed.

"But she's okay now, made sure of it. And don't worry, I didn't use dad's car."

"Then what did you use?" Molly turned.

"Uh... A broom." Erica answered.

"Your brothers broom." Molly nodded slowly before she turned to Parker,"You're welcome to stay dear, you can share Erica's room for now."

"Yes, I'm not grounded." Erica mumbled under her breath.

"Well I never said that." Molly gave a smile.

"But you love me, right?" Erica asked.

"Of course-"

"Then you won't ground me for saving my friend from her boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Molly gasped.

"He isn't my boyfriend Mrs Weasley." Parker quickly spoke.

"I saw you kiss him." Erica pointed.

"Kiss?!" Molly gasped louder.

"I did not!"

"I know what I saw, Parker." Erica began to walk away.

"Mrs Weasley- Thank you for allowing me to stay." Parker smiled before she chased Erica.

Erica ran into her room and ended up against her bed.

"I did not kiss him!" Parker laughed and jumped on the bed.

"You did too!" Erica stated, throwing a small Pusheen at Parker's face.

Parker bit her lip and looked at the Pusheen,"This is cute."

"Nev gave it to me." Erica mumbled.

"Aw." Parker smiled.

"Shut up." Erica crossed her arms.

"It's cute." Parker handed it back to her.

"Thank you." Erica hugged it.

Parker smiled and lay down beside her.

"Well, now what?" Erica looked down at her.

"Now... Can borrow some wardrobe space?"

"Of course, feel free." She nodded.

Parker smiled and got up, looking in the wardrobe. Erica proceeded to hold her plush while Parker did her thing.

"Y'know... Neville should buy you more teddies."

"Why's that?"

"You're happy with him." Parker hummed,"I'm happy for you."

"And I suppose... You look happy with Blaise, I can't lie there." Erica admitted.

Parker looked at her, "I'm still making sure he's treating you right."

"As am I, that's why I flew over to you so fast." Erica yawned.

Parker hummed and looked at Erica,"You can sleep, I'll be quiet."

"No." Erica groaned.

"I won't mind, besides this is your room."

"I'm not tired." Erica rubbed her eyes,"See?"

"Your eyes are red, stop rubbing them." Parker pointed.

"They're fine." She shook her head.

Parker gave a look.

Erica pouted,"I'm not tired."

"If you say so." Parked nodded.

"I do say so."

"Okay, okay." Parker held up her hands.

Erica sighed and laid back in her bed. After a while, Parker finished unpacking her clothes, turning to Erica. Low and behold, she had fallen asleep.

"Oh Er." Parker sighed and pulled the blankets over her and got on the spare bed and lay down.

"Thanks.." Erica mumbled tiredly.

Parked looked at her before she hummed and closed her eyes,"You're welcome."

*********************************

"Parker, Erica, can you come down here?" Molly called upstairs.

"Yeah." Parker nudged Erica awake.

"Coming." Erica groaned as she got up.

"Race you." Parker smirked.

"You're on." Erica stumbled out of bed.

"Mhm, yeah." Parker nodded nodded and walked out the room.

Erica hurried after her friend.

"Oh shi-" Parker ran down the stairs.

"Girls, careful." Molly sighed

"Sorry Molly." Parker apologized.

"It's alright." Molly shook her head,"Now I have something to tell you."

"Yes?" Parker raised a brow.

"Arthur and I have had another talk and we thought that, if you would like, we would be open to adopting you." Molly explained.

"Adopting me?" Parker looked at Molly,"Like you did with Harry?"

"Just like what we did with Harry." Molly nodded,"Is that okay with you?"

"Well- Of course it is." Parker gave a smile.

"All you need to do is sign here." Molly pointed to the papers.

"Really?" Parker's eyes practically lit up.

"Really." Molly nodded.

Parker looked over at Erica. Erica looked at her friend and nodded. Parker nodded before she signed the paper.

"Woo!" Erica hugged her side.
