Chapter Seven – Starling Information
Harry, Hermione and Ron were sitting silently at the Gryffindor table in the great hall eating their lunch. Harry was thinking about what Guin and Oliver were keeping from him. Hermione was thinking about earlier that day, when Harry knew she was in trouble, before she was in trouble. And Ron was just staring down at his food bored out of his mind.
"What lesson do we have next?" Ron asked to anyone in ears reach.
"History of magic." Hermione answered in a monotonous voice, not really interested to make conversion at this time.
Ron sighed and looked at his two friends that were on either side of him, he noticed their confused and serious stares Ron could only guess what they were thinking about, but at this moment he felt slightly left out. As they were concentrating hard on something and he wasn't, he was craving for their daily banter. But today it never came. His two friends had been silent all day and half the time then he tried to talk to them they didn't realise he was even speaking to them.
"Guys, what's wrong? Why so silent today? Ron asked raising his voice a little to catch their attention, and it worked, it made Harry and Hermione to lose their chain of thought. They turned and looked at Ron apologetically for forgetting him.
"Sorry Ron I just had a lot on my mind!" Hermione told Ron but when she looked towards Ron she could tell he wanted to know more.
"Ron I honesty can't tell you what I was thinking about it's kind of personal and very, very confusing." Ron nodded his head in understanding.
Harry looked towards Hermione knowing exactly want she was referring to, as he thought about the night before and the incident this morning for most of the day, until he came to the great hall for lunch. After seeing Oliver waiting for Guinevere to go to see Dumbledore he couldn't seem to keep his mind off the secret that they were keeping from him.
Harry was still staring at Hermione when Ron turned round to get an answer from him, he mentally knew Ron was staring at him, and that he should look Ron in the eye as he answered Ron's earlier question. But he couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from Hermione who was now also staring straight into his eyes.
"Same reason Ron, and plus trying to figure out the little secret everyone seems to be keeping from me."
'God your beautiful' Harry's mind shouted aimed towards Hermione while answering Ron question. For a minute he didn't know what thought he said out loud. He reason with himself that he did answer Ron's question as there was no shocked face's or gasps from the people around them on the Gryffindor table.
Ron was a little angry when he noticed Harry wasn't looking at him while talking, instead Harry was staring at Hermione in awe. Ron's angry died when he turned to look at Hermione who was also staring at Harry in the same expression.
Ron rolled his eyes at his two best friends, who he guessed hadn't ject admitted their love for each other yet. To Ron and everyone else it was oblivious that his best friends were madly in love with other.
'God, if they don't stop making goggling eyes at each other or admit there feelings soon. I'm going to lock them in the broom cupboard, until they do.' Ron's mind screamed as he sighed deeply and rested his elbows on the table, placing his chin in his hands.
Oliver started to open the door to the great hall then he realised Guinevere was no longer walking behind him. He quickly turned around to see where she was, but he couldn't see her anywhere in sight. He opened his mind, so he could sense her with the bond they had though their connected souls. But he couldn't sense her at all that worried him more then not seeing her physically.
Unaware to Oliver, Harry, Hermione and Ron walked through the doors from the great hall. The trio saw Oliver frantically looking over the Foley, and were wondering what Oliver was looking out for!
"Guin? Guin? Come on where are you? Guin? Oliver yelled and other noticed the fear in his voice.
"Azabeth? Please where are you?" He yelled louder then before, which left Harry, Hermione and Ron confused. 'Who was is girl Azabeth that Oliver was yelling to?' floated within their minds.
Ron cleared his throat by coughing, which caught Oliver attention. Thinking that it was Guinevere standing behind him Oliver quickly turned round and once he saw who was standing behind him all the colour drained from his face.
"How long have you three been standing there?" The trio remained silent for some time before Hermione spoke up with the question on all their minds.
"Who's Azabeth?" The trio would never have believed someone could become whiter then Oliver was already, but they were mistaken. Oliver became so white; it looked like he was one of the living dead.
Oliver stood silent and still not knowing what to say he was to worried about Guinevere to not tell the truth about Guinevere's real name was really Azabeth. So he forced himself not to say a thing and hope Guinevere would show up out of the blue.
As if she was reading his mind she had walked out of nowhere and then stood behind him.
"Hey!" Oliver quickly turned around and throws his arms around Guinevere, which made her stumble, back slightly. Oliver held onto Guinevere tightly, he never wanted to let go again.
"You had me worried to death, and even more so when I couldn't sense you!" Oliver said silently, but not silent enough as Harry and Hermione had heard him, and their bodies tensed up.
Ron noticed his friends had tensed up and was becoming more confused about how they were acting at late. He wasn't confused about them being in love, it was their general behaviour today was totally different from days before.
"What's with you two now?" Ron said frustrated.
Harry and Hermione ignored Ron question and both turned to Oliver and Guinevere.
"Sensed her?" Harry and Hermione asked Guinevere and Oliver at the same time, which made them look at each other, but quickly turned back to Guinevere and Oliver.
Guinevere and Oliver looked at each other worried, realising why Harry and Hermione had asked that question, they had began to sense each other more then they ever had in their friendship.
Guinevere shrugged her shoulders to Oliver letting him know he could tell them. As she reason with herself that sooner or later mostly likely sooner, Harry and Hermione would realise there are soul mates. And have the full range of power that will come with being soul mates.
Oliver reluctantly gave in and turned to Harry and Hermione and explained what he meant.
"The basic and first connected between soul mates is that they can sense each other. Like? I know when she's ill, sad, happy, and generally wants to be alone. And also you mostly know when your other half is in danger, and with this danger sense comes something else. It's like a premonition sense, you can see when they are going to be in trouble and generally something's going to happen to them. Of course it's not like you can see the future, more like you have been given a few minutes extra warning."
The trio eyes grew double in size from hearing that; Ron because he was in awe, But Harry and Hermione thought that sounded just like what happen to them earlier. But they shook their heads deciding it was impossible for them to be soul mates, so they had to find out what else it could have been earlier that day!
Wishing to change the subject Hermione decided to ask what happen during Oliver and Guinevere's visit to Dumbledore.
"So how did the meeting go?" Guinevere sighed deeply and looked down towards her feet.
"I take it, it didn't go as well as you wished it would!" Harry spoke a little disappointed.
"Well, no and yes, but we tell you happen while we quickly get something to eat?" Oliver answered Harry. The trio nodded their heads, and followed Oliver and Guinevere back into the great Hall.
They all sat down at the Gryffindor table, and the trio waited patiently for Oliver and Guinevere as they pilled their plates with food. Once they had their food and had started to eat, Guinevere filled them in to what Dumbledore and McGonagall had said to them.

20 Minutes later,
Guinevere placed her knife and folk down into her now empty plate and stared at the trio, who hadn't spoken a word since she and Oliver told them what the professors had said. She just sat there waiting to hear what they had to say.
Oliver had excused himself 5 minutes earlier, to help Professor McGonagall with her next class, which happen to be with the first years. That left her with the trio who with her, were late for their next class. But Oliver had said he would tell their professors to not expect them to arrive. So she had an entire hour to watch three shocked 15 year olds.
"Do the school board really have the right to keep, what they are keeping from me?"
"Well yes and no!" Guinevere answered, she didn't want to go into much detail, just encase she let something slip. She knew the school board wouldn't see it as an accident, but the look on Harry's face, you could tell he was expecting a deeper answer, and she found herself not been able to keep much in.
"The school board doesn't really have the right to keep anything from you, unless it they were asked to by your family. So in your case they have bypassed your family for oblivious reasons and have decided by themselves. Of course I believe they should have consulted with Dumbledore instead of the ministry, as he officially is guardian to all the students while they are under the roof of Hogwarts."
"Oh I see… So can you give us a hint how to find out the secret? Of course making it not oblivious in case someone over hears you."
The trio could tell Guinevere was debating weather to or not to give an answer to Harry question. Guinevere was of course trying to think of a hint that wasn't oblivious, and then the answer hit her.
"Well let's see, I started at Hogwarts 9 years ago, oblivious enough for you, I think not."
"But how's that going to help us, finding out something when you started at Hogwarts?" Ron question.
"When you find out the answer it will become clear!" Guinevere said as she suddenly stood up.
"Now that we are late for class, I think I'm going to the tower to catch up on some sleep. See you later guys."
