Erika POV
I was in the observatory as I was enjoying my time as the others are trying to figure out there eggs as I was reading a book.
Hermione: Hey.
I was looked up to see Hermione, looking beautiful as always.
Erika: Hey, what's up Hermione?
Hermione: Have you found out your egg yet?
Erika: Yes, I figured it out the second I got it as the next task is a dip into the Black Lake.
Hermione: I see, you have a plan?
Erika: I told Neville to procure a Gillyweed just in case and I know spells I can use underwater.
Hermione: I see, freest planning as usual.
Erika: Thank you, so what brings you here besides me of course?
Hermione: Just seeing if your coming down for breakfast?
Erika: Oh yeah, it's time for breakfast.
I closed my book to hop off the ledge to walk with Hermione as we walked the halls together.
Hermione: So you think the next task will be hard?
Erika: Not really, you just have to keep your cool and also don't second guess yourself really cause that would be bad at the end.
Hermione: Right about keeping your emotions in check, but will see what task they are truly.
We made it town the lunch room as eyes were on me as Slytherins glared at me cause being a Pureblood that I should be with Purebloods but I don't roll like that.
Other tables looked at me cause of the closeness between me and Hermione as we sat down to eat as I know the Yule Ball coming up as I know who I'm asking which she's sitting next to me.
Erika: Hermione, there is an event coming up and I would want to know would you be my date?
Hermione: What event?
Erika: Professor McGonagall is gonna announce it, I overheard that it is a dance, so you wanna?
Hermione: I would love to go with you.
Erika: Perfect.
As then everyone laughed as we turned to see Ron holding dress robes as they look ancient and I would personally burn them to bye new clothes really.
