Getting letters from Neville wasn't unusual, but getting them while still at the office was. Granted he was working late, but then that was more a habit than not now with the werewolf attacks, and with the meeting with Lavender tomorrow, he wanted to make sure everything was clear in his head.
That's when the letter arrived, at first surprising him, then alarming him, then - he was almost ashamed to admit - relieving him. As much as he was an Auror, he was a father first, and he could not read emergency, fatally wounded and student without having the image of Lily- he stopped himself there. Ashamed that he'd read the words 'require your help' with so much satisfaction. It wasn't Lily, it was someone else.
Taking the letter and leaving everything else behind, he stepped out of his office. Neville had requested him, personally, and even if he hadn't, he would go personally. Someone had died at Hogwarts and even if it was not Lily she was there - he needed to see her, to see Ginny - they both needed to find out that she was doing all right.
He looked around, seeing who was on duty still. "James, Cass, come with me," he said, not explaining where. Cass could do handle any necessary investigation while he spoke to Neville, and James would want to make sure his sister was all right as well. Maybe not the most professional reason but when it came to his family he couldn't care less.
He led them into a restricted room with especially high clearance fireplaces (with unlimited access to every connected fireplace in Britain in cases of emergency) while explaining what he knew (next to nothing). Sure they both understood, he got into the fireplace before them, called out 'Hogwarts, Headmaster's office', and waited to be taken there.
As he stepped out, he looked around for Neville, extending his hand as he saw his friend. "Neville, how are you?. There are two more coming, now tell me what happened."
