Open after Emzies posts with Minnie. Eric had applied for the job at Hogwarts almost on a whim. It wasn't like his life was going anywhere at the Medley, it definitely wasn't what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, but he also had never expected himself to go back to Hogwarts. Yet, here...

Eric's expression shifted into uncertainty as Minnie said this wasn't about the book. He had no idea what she could be wanting to talk about, but he got the feeling it was probably something serious. There was something about her expression that set off warning bells in his head. Eric tried his...

Eric had been working out and had just taken a shower when Minnie called out his name. He headed over in her direction, using a towel to dry his hair. "Hey, what's up?" He asked as he moved over to her to kiss her. "Been working on your book?" He asked, knowing that Minnie was pretty consumed...

hah, what.

Eric was relieved to hear Holden mention a few kids he thought were alright. Eric would've had a hard time coming up with three names back in school, so it seemed to him like Holden was doing a little better. Eric nodded. "Glad to hear your roommates are cool, mine were the worst. Sully was a...

Eric nodded as he listened to Holden. It might sound a bit... childish to Eric now, but he knew it was really how Holden felt. The fastest way to alienate him was to dismiss it. "That sucks, sounds like nothing changed." Eric muttered. "is there anyone who isn't as bad as the rest?" He asked...

Eric sighed, it was a predictable answer and a familiar one. Now that he was an adult, he realized just how dramatic it sounded. "Did everything suck? Every single thing?" He asked his little brother, raising one eyebrow. "That's rough." He took a swig of water himself.

Eric was happy to see Holden again on his break. The kid seemed to grow alarmingly every year at Hogwarts, though Eric remembered vaguely that his mom would say the same about him. It was weird, being in this older brother role to someone much younger. It was really different than being Connor's...

Eric had been trying to get through to Connor this entire time, but he regretted it the moment he saw that he had. He saw it in Connor's eyes, the moment that he realized just what was happening. Eric immediately wished he could take it all back. He just grabbed Connor tightly instead, pulling...

Eric felt so utterly empty that it took him a moment to realize Connor was speaking to him. He had just about given up on his brother actually listening to him, but Connor's question gave him pause. He wanted to say exactly what his dad had said, but could he? Could he crush Connor's last bit of...

Eric let Connor hug him, feeling his shoulders sag as Connor continued to deny it. Continued to make excuses. He had no more fight left, he hadn't thought that was possible. He sank against Connor, feeling his heart break more. "I'm sorry." He whispered. "I'm sorry Connor." He was both sorry...

Eric listened to Emily, wondering how she and Daintree just casually knew a published auror. But as Emily talked about running the bookstore, he remembered that connection. It was probably through that. Eric shrugged at her question. "We've been fine." He said, knowing that Minnie would...

Eric hadn't forgotten they were here to meet some author, but he hadn't realized she wasn't here yet. He wasn't sure what he expected, but he was a bit surprised when Emily said she was shy. He caught Minnie's glance at him and he held up his hands defensively. "I'll be nice!" He said quickly...

Eric snorted at the decor, knowing it was Emily’s idea before she even said so. “It’s… charming.” He said, quirking his eyebrow up as he looked at a fake skull. “Lovely ambiance.” He added, managing to keep a straight face. Eric stayed by Minnie’s side as they followed Daintree. The house was...

I am so sorry for killing this thread Eric did his best attempt at a polite smile as Daintree answered the door and let them in. He grabbed Minnie's hand, squeezing it briefly before letting go again. He simply grunted in affirmation in reaction to what Minnie said. She was much better at small...

Eric’s heart broke all over again when he saw the hope in Connor’s face and heard it in his voice. How many times was he going to hope for their dad? Was it just going to go on forever? It was torture. “Connor.” He croaked, reaching for him. “It’s not- it’s an excuse.” He said softly, trying to...

Eric grinned a bit. “Because me using the worth ‘rather’ isn’t suspicious at all.” He joked, leaning closer as she kissed him. He loved her so much. Just as he thought it, she said it. Eric smiled and kissed her one more time quickly. “I love you too. Now let’s get you some connections.”

Eric reached for Connor, grabbing his hands tightly. “I- he just… wouldn’t.” He said softly, closing his eyes tightly. “He just kept saying you were better off without him, that he’d just make it worse. He had an excuse for everything. I- I practically begged him, I told him I wouldn’t ever need...
