Gwen glanced around the dining room. The ball was in full swing. Several well respected witches and wizards of the wizarding world were and the party and a lot of well-known Death Eaters were there. Lucius Malfoy was talking to Gwen's aunt. Draco appeared next to Gwen.
" What are they planning?" he asked as he grabbed a glass of butterbeer.
" I haven't a clue. Is your mum here?"
" No. She didn't want to mingle with any of Father's friends."
" I don't blame her."
" Where's potty and weasel?"
" Draco, they have names." Gwen said sternly.
" Potter and Weasley, then."
" No clue." Gwen looked around again. " Have you seen Oliver?"
" Last I saw of him, he was with Katie."
" Probably snogging. What about George?"
" I saw him with Fred a moment ago." Draco drawled.
" Bored?"
" Highly."
" Why don't you go and find Ginny?"
" With Fred and the rest of the weasels around? I think not."
" Quit calling them weasels."
" Alright."
" There's Ginny." Gwen pointed the young girl out. " Go talk to her."
" If I die, I shall come back to haunt you."
" I'm scared." Gwen said as she walked away.
" Oi! Gwen!"
Gwen stopped, turned around, and came face to face with Oliver.
" What?"
" Dumbledore said to go pack your things. All of them."
" Why?"
" You can't stay here anymore. It's too dangerous, Gwen. Aunt Dori knows you know. You'll be in too much danger if you stay here. So, just pack your things and floo them to my flat in London."
" Okay."
Gwen gave Oliver a look then went up to her room. She packed all of her belongings and began floo-ing them to Oliver's flat.
" What, for Merlin's sake, are you doing, Gwen?" George asked as he entered the nearly empty room.
Gwen performed a silencing charm on the room.
" I'm sending my things to Oliver's flat. I can't stay here anymore." Gwen explained quickly.
" Why?"
" My aunt. Dumbledore thinks it will be better if I stay with Oliver."
" Wow. Is your aunt really that bad?"
" Yes." Gwen replied as she floo-ed her dresser.
Saddy came into Gwen's room.
" Missy Gwen, please take Saddy with you." the house-elf begged.
" I...Saddy...What if Aunt Dori notices?"
" I doesn't care. You is my mistress, not her."
" Oh...well...You mustn't say a word."
Saddy bowed." Thank you, Missy Gwen."
With that, the elf happily bounded from the room.
" Are you sure that's wise, Gwen?"
" She does belong to me." Gwen said quietly. " I just don't know. But, I can't leave her here."
" I suppose you're right." George sighed. " Just be careful."
" I'm always careful."
George snorted.
" Fine. But I really am, unless I'm around Voldemort."
George flinched.
" It's just a name." Gwen said.
" I still don't like it."
" Let's go dance."
A.N.- I'm so very sorry for not updating in so long. And I'm sorry that the chapter is so short. I think I'm going to start including things from the fifth book in here, like the D.A. and things like that. But I'm not going to have the twins quit school and if you haven't already noticed, Harry and the twins didn't get kicked off the team. And Umbridge isn't in my story. But enough of my rambling. Please R&R and thanks to those of you who always review. Later!
