Oliver listened to Dumbledore quietly. If what he was saying was true, Harry and the others were going to be in a lot of danger tonight.
" I should've never left the manor." Oliver said grimly.
" You had to come, but as long as Mr. George Weasley is still there, I'm sure your sister and Mr. Potter are safe."
Oliver was about to reply, but someone had burst into the room.
" Oliver, you need to get back to the manor, now."
" Why?" Oliver turned around in his chair.
" Gwen said that there are Death Eaters there-"
Oliver cut George off. " You have to get back there immediately. I'll be there as soon as possible."
George left the room.
" I think I should get going." Oliver grabbed his cloak and got up.
" Remember, don't do anything irrational or give anything away until midnight." Dumbledore said with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.
Oliver nodded, and walked briskly out of the office. He was about to open the oak doors, when Peeves descended upon him.
" What are you doing here?" Peeves asked rudely.
" It's really none of your business, you bloody poltergeist." Oliver walked around him and out of the castle.
Oliver walked through the waist deep snow and was breathless by the time he got to the train station. He saw Katie coming towards him and decided not to Apparate.
" Oliver!" Katie kissed him. " I've been looking all around, trying to find you."
" Well, here I am."
" I hate to burst your ego, but I must. I won't be able to make it to the party until later tonight."
" It's okay. Just make sure you come." Oliver felt put down.
" I promise. I'll see you then." Katie kissed him again, and then walked down the street.
Oliver waited for her to get far away, then he Apparated back to the manor to see his aunt's house-elf strangling Gwen.
