Chapter 7: Good-byes
Later on that day, Gwen woke up. 'Nearly time for dinner.' she thought to herself. She got up and looked in the bathroom mirror. Her hair was all tatty and sticking up. 'Oh well, it's not like I can't fix.' She grabbed the hairbrush and attempted to brush her hair. After about ten minutes, she gave up. Gwen heard the door creak open and nearly screamed.
" Ron! What are you doing in here?" she exclaimed.
" Sorry, but Hermione is in the Owlery with Harry. I just wanted to tell you that it's nearly dinner." His face was red from embarrassment.
" That's okay."
" What happened to your hair?" he asked.
" It must have been the dream that I had. I must have been rolling around in bed." Gwen thought about the dream she just had.
In the dream, Voldemort had come after her. ' You're very lucky, today you will suffer your fate.' ' I will not let you kill her or anyone else!' Harry screamed. ' Shut- up, or you'll be next.' Voldemort said. ' Help us someone!' Gwen screamed. ' That's it! Now one of you must die!' he pointed his wand at Hermione, whispered a spell, and Hermione had fell to the ground. ' Oh, my God! You're so evil. How could you?' shouted Harry. ' Now, since you two can't be quiet, another will die!' Voldemort said venomously. So, next was Ron. ' You'll regret this Voldemort! Wait until I get unchained! I'll…I'll' Gwen stuttered through tears. ' Ha… Ha, very funny, as if you'll ever get out. Bawhahahawha.' Voldemort laughed. The dream was ended there, since Gwen woke-up.
" Gwen, are you okay?" Ron asked from beside her.
" Yes, no, I mean, no. I'm not okay. That dream was just to real."
" Harry had a dream, too. He went to send a letter to Snuffles, and then I think he said he would go and see Dumbeldore." Ron said.
" Thank-you, Ron. I'm going to see Dumbeldore, too. Want to come?"
" No, I'll walk downstairs with you, but I really ought to go eat. I didn't eat lunch."
" Okay, let's go." Gwen got off the bed.
" Gwen, um, what about your hair?" Ron asked.
" I can't get it brushed out. It looked worst than this, though." Gwen told him.
So the two of them went downstairs. When Gwen got to Dumbeldore's office door (the gargoyle), she said bye to Ron, and made sure that no one was around.
" Chocolate Frog." she whispered.
The gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside. She climbed up the stone steps, instead of allowing them to take her up like and escalator. She knocked on the door.
" Come in, Miss Wood." Dumbeldore said.
Gwen walked in and saw Harry.
" Hello, Gwen." Harry said.
" Mr. Potter was just telling me about his dream. So what was your dream like?" Dumbeldore's eyes were twinkling.
Gwen launched into the dream. After she finished, Harry looked shocked.
" That's what my dream was like." he said faintly.
" Well, the best thing to do, is to tell each other your dreams before you come to my office."
" Sir, if you don't mind, what happened at the Ministry?" Gwen asked.
" Miss Wood, it seems that a few Death Eaters attacked the Ministry. There were only five people killed. They were mostly Aurors. Thomas Abbot, Theodore Boot, Farah Brockelhurst, and Albert Reed." Dumbeldore said sadly.
" Professor, who will be the new Minister?" asked Harry.
" I suppose you will find out at the Halloween Feast."
" The Halloween Feast!" They exclaimed.
" Yes. Now, hurry down to dinner."
Gwen and Harry descended down the stairs. They walked to the Great Hall and found Hermione and Ron, who were arguing.
"I don't see why you can't allow Ginny the right to hang around other people." Hermione said shrilly.
" But Malfoy? Do you think I'm crazy? If George and Fred find out, they'll kill me and that git." Ron said harshly.
" Hello, guys." Gwen said as she sat down. She began filling her plate.
" So Ginny's hanging around Malfoy?" Harry asked casually.
" No, he just wanted her to help him with his Herbology homework." Ron said angrily.
" Well, I know Malfoy, Ron, and from the Draco that I know, he is very different."
" Yeah, right." muttered Ron.
" I got talk to him later, anyway. I'll ask him what the deal is about Ginny. Okay?"
" Sure."
" So Gwen, did you finish the Arithmancy homework?" Hermione asked.
" Yes. Mine came out to say that I have a very pleasant personality. Your's?"
" Mine said that I have a very truthful personality. So I'm honest."
" So, how was Divination?" Hermione asked.
" Well, this month, we will be learning how to decipher the meaning of dreams." Harry said. " Hey, Gwen, this might help us to find out what our dreams mean."
" Well, ask her the next time you have Divination, what sharing dreams mean." Gwen said.
" Hey, Gwen, we're going to go to see our mom." Allysa said tearfully.
" Bye. Allysa, send me an owl as soon as you get there. Don't forget to tell aunt Catrina that I said hi." Gwen got up and hugged Rosalia.
" Can I right you a letter?" she asked.
" Of course. I'll miss you." Gwen replied.
" See you in a few weeks." Allysa said.
" Bye, guys."
" Bye, Gwen." Rosalia said through a sniffle.
" Bye, Gwen." Allysa said.
The two of them walked out of the Great Hall.
" I got to go and see Draco." Gwen said.
Without hearing what the others had to say, Gwen ran to the Slytherin Common Room. She pulled out her wand and said " Accio Invisibility Cloak." A few minutes later, Harry's Invisibility Cloak came zooming down the hall. Gwen put it on and waited for somebody to come down the hall.
" As I was saying, it's a pity that the Minister was killed." came Draco's cold voice.
" Why was you hanging around that Weasley girl?" asked Goyle.
" I told you that it wasn't your business. She was helping me with Herbology. Sprout gave me a ton of homework for back talking, remember?" Draco spat out each word angrily. They came to the stonewall. " Dark Arts." Draco muttered. The wall slid away and they entered.
Gwen walked into the Common Room. It was dimly lit, and Gwen had to be extra careful. If she were to bump into someone, it would cause chaos. She followed the three boys (Crabbe was with them) to the dormitories.
" Now, don't come into the room until I say so. Don't let anyone else in either. If you do, I'll make sure that you will get punished." Draco went into the room.
Gwen waited a few minutes, and then checked to see that everyone was busy. She opened the door and closed it. Gwen noticed that Malfoy's hangings were closed.
" I told you to let no one in!" he said angrily.
" It's me, your rawness." Gwen said sarcastically.
She pulled off the Invisibility Cloak, and Draco pulled back his hangings.
" What do you want?" he asked coldly.
Later on that day, Gwen woke up. 'Nearly time for dinner.' she thought to herself. She got up and looked in the bathroom mirror. Her hair was all tatty and sticking up.
