I f Guin wanted to talk Harry knew where she would be. The tower, at midnight. So that's exactly where Harry went, but he ended up meeting Guin before he ever got there.
"PSST! Harry!" She beckoned to him from behind a large statue that held the entrance to the secret passage to Honeydukes.
"Ok Guin, now is your chance, talk."
"Shall we walk?"
"Sure lets." They set off on their usual path towards the tower "you have a lot of explaining to do."
"Yes I do, and I will start from the beginning." Guinevere told Harry about how she and Draco used to date, and how he wanted to know stuff about Harry. She told him about how he had her getting the information, and what he threatened to do if she didn't. She told him that it started with that first day in potions, to get his attention. And then she started following him, and that one night when he had scared her on the tower was when she was supposed to start prodding Harry for the information Draco wanted. She even told Harry about what Draco threatened to do to Hermione when Guin said that she was making it to hard to get to Harry.
"Hermione was supposed to my excuse to leave you alone and stop all that, I didn't realize he would ' get her out of the way' he's just gotten so scary! He went crazy whenever I didn't have the information he wanted. I tried to lie to him once, but he knew he could read it on me like a book, he practically broke my arm that night and he said that his father and those men would hurt me if I didn't tell him."
"Okay tell him what? We talked about everything what exactly did he want to know?"
"Everything about you, what your habits were, and about the dursleys and their significance to your well being."
"You told him THAT!"
"That was what I tried to lie about, I'm so sorry Harry but the Malfoy's were like my second family I didn't know what to do! He also wanted to know what routes you took on your nightly walks" Guinevere stopped dead in her tracks. There was a shadow in the corridor up ahead. "oh no" Her words were a whisper barely audible but Harry knew what they meant.
"Harry run, run to Dumbledore tell him to send someone to protect the Dursleys, and stay in his office. Harry that's very important stay in his office!" Harry didn't wait he ran as fast as he could. He looked back to see Guinevere walking in a straight line right toward the shadow. But no, not one shadow there were more now, and the were not student's shadows they were much to tall, and the looked, hooded.
"OUCH!" Harry had just run smack into someone, not just anyone it was Ron!
"Ron?!"
"Bloody Hell! What's the rush!?"
"Why are you here!"
"Hermione had me follow you mate, she saw you leave."
"Oh thank God for Hermione" Ron looked at him puzzled "never mind Ron run to Dumbledore tell him that the Dursleys are in immediate danger and that there are people here who shouldn't be!"
"Okay! Okay! but what is going on?"
"GO!" Harry saw Ron run toward Dumbledore's office and he ran back towards Guinevere, after what she had done they would surely kill her. She had risked her life to save Harry and the Dursleys he wasn't going to let them take her. No one would die on account of him , not again. Harry stopped just around the corner from the shadows and listened waiting to make his move.
"My dear Guinevere what are you doing out so late, you are not the person we expected to meet tonight" Harry knew that voice it was Bellatrix Lestrange . It was all Harry could do not to rush out and dive at her, she would get hers soon enough, she would pay for Sirius' death.
"Just taking a walk" Guinevere sounded calm enough maybe they would just let her go.
"Walking alone Miss Andrews?" Harry did not recognize the voice of this death eater
"Yes , it relaxes me. Draco did not tell me you would be coming tonight other wise I would have been out of the way."
"yes well young Draco thought it would be best if we , surprised, Potter. So we couldn't have you warning him now could we?" Bellatrix was calm as could be, happy even. Only one thing could make her that happy they were going to get Guin to tell them about him, one way or another. Before Harry had time to react it happened. "Crucio!"
The scream that Guin let out pierced through Harry like a knife, he had to save her. One of the other death eaters silenced her screaming, and then Bella took the curse off of her.
"Now lets try answering my questions again Guin my dear, I am sure you have a quite interesting excuse for why Potter knows so much!"
"Yes miss Andrews tell us your little story!"
"I only talked to him about what Draco said you needed to know about him, I promise!"
"Now now Miss Andrews do not lie to me" Bellatrix found this amusing and that made Harry sick. "One more chance, what did you tell Potter about what is going to happen!?"
"I-I-I didn't tell him an-anything" Guinevere wouldn't give him up this time.
"Not the answer I wanted to hear! CRUCIO!" Harry knew he could not take them on but he could at least get Guin and himself out of there.
"EXPELLIARMUS!!" Harry disarmed Bellatrix and then used a shielding charm on himself and Guin.
"Guin run! "she got up slowly and they stumbled away "IMPEDIMANTA!" he just grazed the nearest death eater "INCARCEROUSE" with that ropes shot from Harry's wand binding the death eater. Harry and Guin ran pell-mell down the hallway shouting spells over their shoulders .
"Expelliarmus! Stupefy!"
"Protego ! Stupefy!"
"Harry they are gaining on us!"
"I know just keep going Ron will have warned Dumbledore by now and AAAAAHHHHHGGG!"
A blinding light and deafening noise filled the dark halls. Harry and Guin threw themselves onto the floor covering their heads but still shooting spells behind them. Harry chanced a look up, Dumbledore , Tonks, and McGonnagal were all standing at the top of the staircase their wands all emitting the huge spell together, the spell was making it impossible to hear or think properly and spells were flying everywhere missing their marks, the senders confused. Snape , Flitwick, and Hagrid with his umbrella joined the three already on the stairs. A new resounding crack shook the walls and toppled some of the statues. The death eaters who were still standing were knocked backwards off of their feet.
"HARRY, GUINEVERE, RUN!" Dumbledore yelled. He didn't have to tell them twice they ran up the stairs till they were behind the teachers. The great spell was gone and it was a full blown battle . Green red and purple jets shot through the air. Ron was standing behind the teachers blocking the spells that the death eaters shot at them, Harry and Guin did the same. Only Bellatrix and one other were still standing, Harry recognized him, it was worm tail. McGonnagal blasted a huge whole right in front of them that sent stone and debris flying, they were fallen now. The battle was won.
"Well done Miss Andrews!" Dumbledore was smiling down at her triumph.
