Title: Gwendoylen's Year
Chapter 14: Hogsmeade
Gwen and the others were the first ones to arrive at Hogsmeade. Harry took off running towards the rock that they had met Sirius at last year.
" I though he was supposed to be staying with Professor Lupin." Ron said.
" He wanted us to meet him here, though." Harry said while running.
A few minutes later, they where slipping through the crack in the rock.
All of them gasped when they saw Sirius and Lupin.
" You act as if you've seen a ghost." Lupin chuckled.
Both of them looked very healthy, compared to the last time they had been seen.
" Hello, Harry." Sirius said. " Let's cut to the chase. The reason you four are here is very important. Remus?"
" The two of us, along with Arabella, have been spying on some of Voldemort's followers. We have found out that the list of those that Harry gave us, are indeed, Death Eaters. The four of you must not tell anyone, because your life's are already in danger." Lupin explained.
" Does Dumbeldore know?" Harry asked.
" Yes. We had to get his permission to tell you guys." Sirius said quickly.
" You guys must go. I'm afraid Rita Skeeter is on the lose again, and she might tell the where-about of us." Lupin said calmly.
" Okay. See you later." Harry said.
" Bye." Hermione, Gwen, and Ron chirped.
They walked back to Hogsmeade.
" That was a nice trip." Gwen said sarcastically.
" I know. I suppose it has to do with our safety more- over than theirs." Hermione reasoned.
" It's a little cold. You guys want to go to The Three Broomsticks?" Harry asked.
" Sure."
After drinking a bottle each, they decided to go to Gwen's house.
" Are you sure your aunt won't mind?" Hermione asked nervously.
" I'm sure she would like to meet my friends." Gwen answered.
They walked to the door.
" Well, hello." Dori said brightly.
" Hello, Aunt Dori. I would like for you to meet my friends. This is Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley." Gwen said as she pointed to each of them.
" Hello, Ms. Wood." Hermione said warmly.
" Hi." Harry said.
" Hello." Ron said.
" Well, why don't you guys come in?" Dori opened the door further and let them in.
" So how are you, Aunt Dori?" Gwen asked in a mocking tone.
" Wonderful. Would you guys like some blood pudding?" Dori asked.
" I think that we would all like some." Gwen answered for them.
They watched as she headed to the kitchen.
" Does your aunt have house-elves?" Hermione questioned.
" We only have one, and she's used to help Aunt Dori when she is sick. We pay her, too." Gwen added, noticing Hermione glaring.
" You pay her?" Hermione asked, intrigued.
" Yes. She only works about once every two weeks, and we pay her a Galleon for every day she works. So she makes about 12 Galleons a year, plus a Galleon every time she works when Aunt Dori is sick, so she probably makes about 14 or 15 Galleons a year." Gwen explained.
" Well, those are good working conditions." Harry assumed.
" Indeed, they are." Dori said. She sat the platter down n the table. " I hope you like it. I made it yesterday."
" Thank –you." they all replied.
" Your welcome." Dori chuckled. " So, Hermione. You find that house-elves should be treated as equal as witches and wizards?"
" Yes." Hermione replied, with a quiver in her voice.
" Don't worry. I believe that, too. Our house-elf, Saddy has been in the family for a long time now. When my parents had her, they paid her. Most of the wizarding community thought it was foolish. They thought that house-elves shouldn't be paid. I, however, think that it is their right to be paid."
A few hours later, they headed back to Hogwarts.
" Hey, Gwen. Can I speak to you, for a moment?" Draco said from behind them.
