Chapter Six – Dumbledore's Answer
Dumbledore was about to leave the great hall from breakfast, when Oliver stopped him.
"Professor, once you have a minute later me and Guinevere would like to speak to you." Dumbledore smiled kindly.
"I knew you would. Come to my office once Guinevere's morning lessons have finished."
"Thank you professor."
"No problem Oliver."

"You're telling me, we are going to make sure Harry and Hermione get a detention from Snape, so they can be together."
"Exactly!"
"Then we won't have to do anything Lavender, Snape loves giving us three detentions. I think it's the only thing that makes him happy."
"Good point Ron. We just have to come up with a new plan." Ron nodded.
"Maybe tonight!" Lavender stated.
"Okay!" Ron answered as they made their way to potions.

After morning lessons had finished Oliver waited for Guinevere at the entrance of the great hall, which had started to fill up with students going to lunch. Oliver finally saw Guinevere coming towards him, along with Hermione, Ron, and Harry.
"Waiting for me?" Guinevere asked as she approached Oliver.
"Yes, Dumbledore's is waiting for us in his office." Oliver answered and smiled nervously.
Hermione and Harry watched as Oliver and Guinevere walked away towards Dumbledore's office, both hoping the outcome of Dumbledore's decision with them, was a positive one. Meaning Harry could find out what they were keeping from him. They waited until they were both out of sight before entering the great hall for lunch.

Oliver and Guinevere approached the statue in front of Dumbledore's office; they both took a deep breath in to calm their nerves.
"Snappy Jacks." Oliver spoke the password clearly to the statue, which slowly moved to revel the passage way that lead to Dumbledore's office.
Oliver and Guinevere slowly started to Ascend the stairs.
They approached the door to Dumbledore's office and knocked waiting for Dumbledore to allow them access.
"Come in." They opened the door and were greeted by Dumbledore and McGonagall.
"Please take a seat, I hope you don't mind me requesting Professor McGonagall here, as I believe you want to talk about the situation about Harry."
"Yes, I believe he should know after all he has a right, they are his parents to. And I don't see the logic in keeping it from him, and I was hoping you can shed some light about your reasons for not letting him know." Guinevere said with her angry coming though clearly.
"Me and Professor McGonagall both agree with you he should know, it's the Ministry that believes he shouldn't and the school board agree with them. So even if I disagree with the Ministry, and try to defile them and tell Harry, I can't defile the school board as they are the ones that employ us."
Silence filled the room either one of them knowing what to say.
"But…but …Harry already knows we are keeping something from him. And you told me that him, Ron, and Hermione have worked out things though research, something they shouldn't know about, they're going to figure it out." Guinevere said after the long silence. Dumbledore and McGonagall quickly looked at each other.
"Yes we know, and we want you to encourage them." Dumbledore calmly said.
"So you're telling us to on purpose drop hints when we're talking, making them hear, but making it out we don't know they can hear us. So that they guess what's happening?" Oliver finally spoke the first time since entering the office.
"Yes, that way if anyone asks you, you can say you, 'I have no idea how they found out, as I never told them'." Professor McGonagall quickly answered.
"Good plan." Oliver stated.
"That it is, along with you now, we'll speak again next week." Professor McGonagall dismissed them.
Oliver and Guinevere left quickly going towards the great hall hoping they hadn't missed lunch, as they were getting quite hungry.
