Episode Twenty Five

            "They don't want your mother." Graves said quietly.

            "No?" Gwen said truly surprised that Graves knew anything about it.

            "No. They want you."

            "How do you know?"

            "A lot of my house mates have death eaters in the family. It's not too hard to hear a stray rumor and string it to some kind of truth."

            "Why would they want me dead?"

            "Besides the fact that you're extremely talented it would be a terrible punishment for your mother."

            "My mother."

            "For not becoming a death eater. I know all about it already. Somehow Malfoy knows everything and he can't keep his mouth shut."

            That sinking feeling had hit Gwen in the gut again. As long as she was at Hogwarts she was safe, but how long could she really hide there. She was a lot more like her mother than she realized. She couldn't stand all the hiding and running.
