Eric leaned back in his chair and grabbed his book, shrugging at the girl's question. "I don't care, go ahead." He told her. "It's just an hour of scrubbing, then you get some sandwiches and can head to bed." He opened his book. "Just don't talk sh- crap about the professors because I probably...

Eric thought this had to be the record for the earliest detention in the school year. He would be impressed if it wasn't so annoying. He had to admit that it was a smart move for the headmaster to set the detention during the start of year feast, but it was annoying that he now also had to miss...

It wasn't like Eric had forgotten that this wasn't the living room in his and Minnie's little apartment, but he still felt a little annoyed when other people started barging in when they were hanging out and wedding planning together. Especially Noel, who followed Adorah into the room and stood...

Eric sometimes still wondered if he had done the right thing, taking this job at Hogwarts. When he was chasing kids out of the forest or scraping gum off the bottom of tables, he sometimes wondered if he shouldn't go back to the Medley. But being here with Minnie was great, and he would scrape...

Eric knew he was forcing Connor and Holden into this interaction a bit, but as he got older he felt like he saw things more clearly. They were the only close family they had, besides their mother. They needed each other. He glanced sharply at Connor as he realized he sounded upset. He guessed...

Eric held Minnie close for a long moment, burying his face in her hair as he let out a few tears of relief. She wanted him, she still did. He didn't understand why, but he was eternally grateful for it. Then he let go with a start, remembering how he had dropped the ring. "Wait- hold on." He...

After the graduation ceremony Eric knew he wanted to congratulate Penelope as a family, he knew it would mean a lot to her and he felt responsible for her. Their dad not being there was a glaring obvious thing, and it infuriated him on her behalf. So the least they could do was be there for her...

Eric knew he'd probably have to attend all graduations now as a member of staff, but today he didn't feel like he was here for work but like he was here as a guest. Penelope had invited Connor as well, so Eric made sure to sit with his brother as well as his fiancée, only a little annoyed Holden...

Current Points: 130 Eric had known he was out of his depth since the duel started, but when Gabrielle cast a spell he didn't even know, he really knew he was f*cked. He tried to throw up a shield, but he was too late. The ground beneath him turned slippery and smooth like a slide and Eric didn't...

Current Points: 140 Eric could only feel relief when the professor's next spell wasn't nonverbal. He wondered idly if she was taking pity on him, though she didn't seem the type. He blocked her spell, then cast a new one in return. "Incarcerous!" Action(s) Taken: cast spell x2 Point Changes: -10...

Current Points: 150 Eric had thought signing up for the duelling tournament would be kind of fun, it would be something to do. He remembered his first duel as a student pretty well, how he and Sydney had both been disqualified because he had shoved her after she kept insulting him. He figured...

Eric was anxiously searching Minnie's face, so much that he almost didn't hear her answer. He blinked, then his face cleared up in delight. He beamed at her, then dropped the box, got to his feet and threw his arms around her, briefly forgetting about the ring entirely.

Eric had hoped he would see Minnie before she saw him, but that clearly hadn't been the case. He turned around at the sound of her voice, freezing for a moment at the sight of her. She looked beautiful as always, and suddenly Eric felt nervous. There was a part of him that wanted to run away and...

Eric had thought a lot about how to do this. It hadn't been easy, he wasn't a very romantic person and wasn't very good at big gestures. Yet, here he was, in the spot he had first met Minnie nearly fifteen years ago. They had only been kids, not even old enough to go to Hogwarts yet. Eric still...

Eric knew what Holden was doing, he had done the same thing himself plenty of times. He was just shouting whatever he thought would hurt Eric the most, but he had managed to hit the mark. Connor hadn't been a very good brother to Holden and Penny, something Eric had tried to help with. So...
