Never Thought I Would Fall For You Pt 2 (A Hogwarts Love Story)

Chapter 64 - Returning to Hogwarts

3rd Person's POV
"Ah~ so nice to be back!" Belle chimed. She plotted herself on the bed. Erika, Ginny and Hermione let out a giggle.
"Sounds like you're relieved." Erika said as she sat on the edge of her bed.

Belle moved to her side and leaned on her arm.
"Yeah, a little bit." Belle said.

"Anyway, let's unpack. We have a big day tomorrow." Hermione said.
Belle and Erika arched their brows, confused.

"What's going on tomorrow?" Erika asked.
"We're going to hogsmeade." Ginny replied.
"For.....?" Belle trailed off.

"Just shopping around. Everyone is going there tomorrow." Hermione said.
"Ah huh." Belle said as she laid back and looked at the ceiling.

"Can I not go?" Erika asked.
"You have to Erika. It wouldn't be fun if you're not there with us." Hermione replied.

Erika sighed at that.
"Fine."

Draco's POV
"How's your Christas Break, Draco?" Blaise asked.
"It was fine, I guess." I replied.

"You guess?" Blaise arched his brow at me.
I sighed and sat on the crouch.

"Ah! I get it!" Blaise said.
"What?" I asked.

Blaise smirked and sat by me.
"You miss Belle, don't you?" he asked me back.

I looked away, blushing.
"Dude, I know already. You're in love with her." he said.

I sighed again.

"I wanted to tell her that, but..." I trailed off.
"But what?" he asked.

"I'm afraid....I'm afraid that she'll reject me." I replied.

Erika's POV
I already unpacked my trunk and now, I'm just reading a book.
"Erika." Hermione peeped through the door.

"Yeah?" I asked.
Hermione walked in and saw down on my bed.

"I was thinking...." she trailed off.
"Thinking about what?" I asked.

"Thinking about Harry. He's not himself lately." she replied.
"I noticed." I mumbled.

"Should we figure it out why he's acting like this around you? I mean, he's fine when he's around us, including Belle. But when he's around you...he gives you a glare, which he never does." Hermione said.

I sighed and rub the bridge of my nose.
"It's okay. I think it's better this way." I said.
"What? Are you serious, Erika?" Hermione asked.

I nodded and stood up.
"This might be the answer to his feelings towards me."

With that, I left.

Isabelle's POV
"Where's Harry?" I asked Ron.
"Don't know. Last time I saw him, he was with Jackson." Ron replied.

"Um....which Jackson are we talking about? Kara Jackson or Lukas Jackson?" I asked.
"Kara." Ron replied.
"What about me?" Lukas came in.
"Nothing, Lukas. We're not talking bad about you." Ron said.

Lukas crossed his arms and joined into our conversation.
"Anyway, on the way here. I saw Harry snogging my older sister. Isn't he suppose to snog Erika? I know he likes Erika." he asked.

Ron and I looked at each other and then back at Lukas.
"We don't know. But something's fishy." I said.

"Harry's been calling Kara all the time. Kara this, Kara that." Ron said.
"Hmm...." Lukas responded.

That's when Erika came down.
"Oh, Erika." Lukas greeted her.

Erika forced a smile on her face. I can tell that's a fake one.
"What's up?" Ron asked.
"Nothing, I just came down here." she replied as she sat down.

"Erika...I was wondering if----" she cut me off in mid sentence.
"I'm okay, if that's you're wondering." she said.

That's a lie, Erika. You're not okay. I thought.

"Okay, back to Harry." Lukas said.
I saw Erika tense at that.

"Lukas!" Ron and I scolded him.
"Sorry."

With that, Erika walked back to the dorms.

I sighed at that.

Erika has done so much for me and it's my turn to help her out.
