Hogsmead was always one of Arabellas favorite places.She always thought that it was one of the most romantic places to be. As she walked down the path, she realised just how lonely she was. She wasnt used to being on her own and really wanted some company......

Eric hated going into Hogsmeade sometimes, but sometimes, he supposed it was alright. He wondered if Jez or Mack were here and if he would run into either of them soon. He shoved his hands into his pockets and continued down the already crowded street.
There were only a couple of weeks before he would be home again, he could hardly wait. Not. He rolled his eyes up to the bright blue sky and sighed. He had sent hsi grandfather an owl a couple of days ago, asking him if he could join Mack on her tour and if she could stay with them a bit. He frowned, there was no doubt his grandfather would cause a problem for him. Again.
Deep in angry thoughts, Eric ran straight into a girl. He had a habit of doing that lately. "Oof, uh, sorry about that."

Arabella truned round as she felt someone bump into her.She turned around and saw a third year ravenclaw, that she had seen many times around the castle.
"Oh, no! Its my fault!Its just I was daydreaming...and things like that always happen to me when I daydream."
Arabella could feel her cold, pale cheeks turn a warm pinky colour.Oh great! she thought.This happened a lot to her, and as she was so pale, it was very noticable.
The wind rushed through her curly,blonde,hair and began to shiver, as she forgot her jacket.
"Im Arabella.You?"

Eric looked down at the Gryffindor girl. She seemed nice, reminded him of one of those dolls that he had seen his cousin playign with when she was younger.
"My name is Eric, Eric Caolan," he gave a small smile, "What are you doing wondering around Hogsmeade alone? You could get into a lot of trouble that way, kid."
He was only two years older than she, but for some reason he felt the need to protect her. He got like that a lot, it was sort of annoying to play hero all of the time. But he got that from his father, so he did not mind as much.

"Oi!Watch yourself!" She said playfully.
"I am 13 and ill be 14 in two days!Im old enough to look after myself! Im only here because..well...I need to think things through. At the moment...things arent really going my way.." She felt a single tear drop run down her cheek....
"Do you mind if i borrow your jacket?"
She felt herself in need of a friend..someone she could trust.She started to shake..all she needed now...was someone to talk to...

Eric raised an eyebrow at the girl and held up his hands, "Whoa, whoa, take it easy, alright? Here."
He took his jacket off and draped it over the younger girl's shoulders. He watched her carefully, not sure if he should help her or run for cover. Despite his conflicting feelings, he decided to help her.
"Alright, now why don't you tell me what's up? I may be able to help you," he offered. Sometimes he wondered why he was not a Prefect. Oh, because he was a troublemaker...that's right.

"Er..thanks for the jacket"
She all of sudden felt bad.
"Sorry for shouting at you...i just hate it when people treat me like a baby.I know how to look after myself. I mean, i have to look after myself all the time...my grandparents are too old now..and my mother died when I was six. And to make it worse my dad went into intensive care today.Im tired of people thinking they understand me and thinking that i have an easy life! They look at me and im always smiling...but maybe im just pretending..im getting tired of having to look after my brothers and taking care of my grandparents! i feel like a mum and its wrong! Im not even 15 yet...I shouldent have to have all this responsibility at my age!Even though I am old enough to look afetr them..I still want someone to look after me..and kiss me goodnight!Ive kept this bottled up for so long...I needed to let it all out!"
Tears were streaming down her face.

Eric bit his lower lip and stared at her. He did not expect to hear all of this at once, it was a bit overwhelming. He was not used to people confiding in him, when they just met him. But he did not falter, not this time. He offered Arabella a small, but nervous smile.
"Um, there, there," he sounded like his mother, how strange. "I know it's probably tough, but it'll be alright. I mean...well, it'll work itself out for sure, you know? Um...geez...I guess I'm not the best person to ask advice from. I usually just do whatever..."
He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair, "But hey, I know what it's like to feel you have no one...you just kind of have to take the good with the bad, right?"
