" I must be seeing things." Gwen said blankly. " This isn't right."
" Move over silly girl." the man towards the front said.
" Blimey." Gwen said as she moved out of the way, and let the black robed people into the manor. ' Why are Death Eaters here?' she thought to herself.
" Where's your aunt?" the man asked.
" Upstairs in her room, getting ready for the party. This isn't really a good time to have a meeting or whatever, because we're having a Christmas party that starts in a few minutes."
" We were invited." the man pointed his wand at Gwen.
" Like I said, she's up in her room. She really doesn't mind having visitors." Gwen squeaked.
" Where is her room?"
" I really don't know." Gwen shrugged. " I live on the west side of the manor and she lives on the east. But Saddy knows where her room is."
" Then get Saddy."
" Saddy!"
The house elf trotted in and gave a squeak. " Yes, Missy Gwen?"
" Show these lovely people to Aunt Dori's room, please?"
" As you want, Missy Gwen." Saddy bowed to the 'guests'.
Gwen let out a sigh of relief as they went up the stairs.
" Who was the door?" George asked as he strolled into the entrance hall.
" Come outside." Gwen said as she grabbed her cloak.
" What happened in there?" George asked as they walked of the Wood's property.
" My aunt invited Death Eaters to the party. She's definitely up to something, and I have to get Oliver back here."
" Won't she notice if you're gone and then you come back with Oliver?"
" I know that." Gwen snapped. " Sorry, but…I know! You can go and get Oliver."
" Why?"
" You aren't exactly considered to be a traitor of blood, well like Oliver and me. We're telling the Ministry about Dori, and she's on to us. So you can go get Oliver. I'll tell her that you had to go back to your house to get your…"
" Present for you." George said, smiling. " I forgot to grab it before I left."
" Okay then. But you'll have to stop at your house to get it, or else she'll suspect you. Now, go."
" I'll be back before you can say flibbertigibbet."
Gwen walked back into the manor, to find Saddy sitting in the dining hall. The tables had been moved against the wall and food was placed on them. There were a dozen tables near the wall closest to the kitchens for people to sit at or eat.
" What happened up there, Saddy?"
" Shh! Missy Gwen, she has put a charm on the house to hear anyone who is talking."
" Oh, boy."
" Where is Missy Gwen's friend?"
" He went back to his house to get my present. He forgot it."
" Is he Missy Gwen's boyfriend?"
" Well, if truth must be told, he is. Isn't he absolutely dashing?"
" Missy Gwen, you is weird."
" I think George is a great guy. He's funny and devious, but he can be smart and quiet." Gwen defended.
" You is just like your father."
" How's that?"
" He loved Quidditch and school, but he ended up marrying a traitor of blood and getting killed."
" Saddy? Are you okay?"
" YOU better watch your back, Missy Gwen."
Gwen stared at the elf in disbelief. She had never talked like this in all of the years Gwen had known her. " Saddy?"
" Your time is up, now." Saddy said in an evil voice.
" Saddy, you have to fight it." Gwen got her wand out.
" You're a traitor of blood. You betrayed me."
" Stop it, Aunt Dori!" Gwen screamed. " I know you can hear me. What is going on?"
" You must die." Saddy said. " Missy Gwen, I is sorry."
" Fight it, Saddy." Gwen pleaded.
" The curse is too strong, I can't fi…"
Saddy leaped from her chair and wrapped her tiny hands around Gwen's neck and started choking her. Gwen kicked out, but the elf was nowhere near her feet. Everything started to get blurry and dark. The last thing Gwen remembered hearing was a two popping sounds, then she fell into unconsciousness.
A.N.- Sorry about the short chapters and the cliffhangers. I'll try to update at least twice a week, because I'm currently working on a novel. But I'm really trying to finish Gwen's Year up before school, but I really hope to have it finished by next year. Please keep reviewing, and thanks to all of you that have reviewed!
