The next day was the day before Christmas holidays, Harry was staying at Hogwarts, as usual. So were Ron and Hermione, for moral support. They knew Harry needed someone even if he wasn't currently talking to them. Draco and Guinevere were staying too. Little did Harry know the plot that they had set in motion.
"Potter will be getting the bad news any day now" Draco could hardly contain the glee in his voice.
"hmm" Guinevere was not really paying attention. She just nodded in agreement with everything Draco said and that made him feel very important so he didn't bother her. Across the great hall at the Gryffindor table Harry was watching as Guinivere and Draco walked out together, his hand on her waist.
"I told you Harry" Hermione had followed his gaze. He simply stared defiantly at his porridge refusing to acknowledge her. So instead after a few more angry mouthfuls he left the table for the sanctity of the Library, Hermione had a class to go to, he didn't, and Ron would never come to the Library unless forced to. But once there he ran into somebody he did not expect ; Guinevere.
"Harry!" she was whispering harshly to him from a dark corner in the back of the library. Harry Ignored her motions to come over there. " HARRY!" Harry now saw that she was holding something. It was his invisibility cloak! Harry rushed over.
"Where did you get that!?" he hissed through clenched teeth.
"I asked Luna to ask Ginny to get it for me." Guinevere looked quite pleased by her accomplishment.
"Give it here!" Harry tried to grab it from her.
"Not till you listen to me" she pulled it out of his reach just in time.
"what!? Decided that you haven't lied to me enough ? How else can you possible make me feel stupid?!"
Her only answer to this was a stunned silence during which she looked defeatedly at the ground. "That's what I thought now give it to me so I can go!"
"NO! Now you have to listen to me Harry, I am not lying now. You are right though, I was lying, I told you nothing but lies, but I didn't want to you must believe that I didn't want to! Its just that, well I was a afraid and I didn't know what else to do, you don't know what he is capable of!"
"what who is capable of, you are not making any sense Guin!"
"Oh! There isn't much time, you must go to Dumbledore and tell him that they are going to kill the..."
"Guin!" Draco stepped into their little alcove with a glare at the both of them. "Talking to Potter are we? What are you to talking about, I cant think of one single topic that would be suitable right now." A look of pure terror crossed Guinevere's face at that moment. Harry decided that this was going no where and he couldn't be bothered to get in between Draco Malfoy and his lying girlfriend.
"I'll take that back now!" Harry snatched the cloak from her grasp and walked away. Just as he was about to walk out of earshot he heard something that made him turn around. Guinevere was whimpering in pain. When he turned back to face them he saw Draco pinning Guin back against the wall, one hand covering her mouth the other pointing his wand into her side. Her eye's were wide and scared but she was nodding to everything she said. Harry realized there was more to this than met the eye, and maybe he did need to talk to Guin again. If she wanted to talk to him, he knew where she would be. He waited there one moment longer, and as she looked over still terrified and nodding at Draco he met her gaze, held it meaningfully for one second then walked away.
