Summary: The Order retreats to Hogwarts.

As soon as Jamie was out of the Ministry, he Apparated to Grimmauld Place, and began sending messages.

He sent the first message to Severus and Moody. Voldemort has taken control of the Ministry, get ready to set up defences at Hogwarts. Be there as soon as I inform everyone..

The second was a fire message to all members of the Order: Voldemort has control of the Ministry. You and your family are to relocate at Hogwarts immediately. Take anything necessary; you won't go back.

Then there was fire message to the teachers on board who were members of the Order, while the ones who weren't received a Patronus with the exact message.

Voldemort has control of the Ministry and there was an explosion at King's Cross. Do not tell the students or you'll have panic. Stop the train, Apparate the Muggleborns home and advise them to leave immediately. Advice anyone capable of Apparating, with or without a license, to take themselves and any siblings home. When done, retreat to Hogwarts and bring Hugo, Alex, Roxanne and Louis Weasley.

Another Patronus was for Al: Voldemort has control of the Ministry. Go to Hogwarts immediately. Take anything necessary from the house, because you won't go back.

Finally, he sent a last message to Sirius. You'd better be okay. I'm going to Hogwarts, get your arse there, and let me know, you're okay.

Finally, he changed into something more comfortable, grabbed his broom and anything that he could think they'd need in the coming months. Thankfully, they had the house under Fidelius and would be able to return. He handed the trunk to Dolan and told him to go straight to Kreacher and then he Apparated to Hogwarts, the last free place in the country.

Hannah was getting ready to put Sammy down for another nap when the message came through. Panic was the first emotion she felt as she quickly swept her son into her arms and out of the crib. Take anything necessary. Looking around the room, she found the baby sling. After summoning it to her, she placed Sam into it and charmed the straps into place.

With the baby safe in the sling, Hannah began summoning every bag in the house followed by clothing, nappies, toys for Sam along with her knitting and photos of the family. She stuffed theses willy-nilly into trunks and suitcases. Even though the house was in Hogsmeade, she knew she couldn't be spending a whole lot of time packing. Still it took her close to thirty minutes to fill three shoulder bags, two trunks, two knitting baskets and a diaper bag. At the last minute, she remembered to grab the pub's books and any loose money. Throughout the whole ordeal, she kept jostling Sammy causing him to cry.

Once she had everything pack, she shrunk it all and stuffed into a fourth shoulder bag and she left. Walking quickly, but discretely, Hannah hurried toward the castle. The baby was still crying when she eventually made it to the gates. "Shh, baby. We're here. We're home and we're going to see Daddy. So hush now."

Rose slammed the book she had been attempting to read shut. She kept up a good front through the End of the Year Feast and breakfast that morning, but now that the students were on the train she was sulking. Plans had been made to see Bryn that night and she needed to finish up details on the wedding, which was only two months away.

How did Al plan one behind anyone's back and on such short notice? she wondered as a thousand other questions and worries began to pop into her head. Standing from her couch, Rose decided she need to get rid of her frustrations out. She grabbed her racket and a few tennis balls and left her quarters.

Stupid Snape! What is the point of staying here all summer when there is no one ar... Rose was in the middle of her internal rant when she noticed something was going on. At first, she couldn't tell what it was. Only that there seemed to be an energy in the air causing her to pause.

"What the hell is going on?"

Jamie's message had Ted spurring into action. While he needed to collect his personal items, he also needed to let Patrick know about this.

Voldemort has taken control of the Ministry. We need to move the werewolves to Hogwarts.

After watching his patronus gallop off, Ted collected any sensitive files they might need before Apparating to his flat to do the same there. Collect the irreplacable items before heading to his grandmother's home. That was the plan.

Snape was at his desk when the power crashed into him like a white wave, lifting him in a momentary rush; then dumping him, shaking and salt-eyed, on the unforgiving shore of realization.

As the portion of the castle's power that Dumbledore once held settled into him, Snape knew the horrifying truth. Albus is dead! Months too soon. The attack? Now?

He struggled to think: his new awareness of the castle told him that a multitude of defensive spells were springing to life, no doubt reacting to dead-man triggers. They were clearly Dumbledore's work, and Snape suspected Grindelwald had also played his part. But there were so many of them that it was horribly difficult to concentrate on any one closely enough to know what it was doing right away. It was like trying to pick a single instrument out of an orchestra: possible, but not without time and concentration.

But his frantic concentration was broken again, by a burst of fire-writing from James. The attack! Fucking hell, I was right. He was grateful now for new defensive spells, but he knew he still had his own work to do.

He knuckled his eyes, dashing away wetness as he jolted to his feet and crossed the room to stand before his office's hearth: Hogwarts' sole functioning Floo. He couldn't close the Floo connection from this end, since it was a dedicated connection direct to the Ministry, but there was more than one way to skin a kneazle.

He reached out with his newly-doubled awareness of Hogwarts, resting his hands on the stone either side of the mantelpiece, and asking the castle silently for permission, help, forgiveness - he wasn't sure which, and the stones didn't answer, at least not in words. But, when he exerted his magic, the castle didn't fight him. He successfully Banished the fireplace from existence. Let Riddle try to Floo through that, he grinned viciously at the now-unbroken stone wall.

Then, intent on similarly closing every last one of the so-called 'secret' passages into Hogwarts, he Apparated out.

Or he tried to.

Nothing.

"FUCKING HELL!" he roared, abruptly at the end of his never-terribly-long fuse. He drew his wand and threw all the power he had into a spoken, wanded, gestured "Apparate!"

It should have flung him to the ends of the earth.

It didn't move him an inch.

Seething, he sleeved his wand and lifted off, blasting the door open and darting away down the corridor with a recklessness speed that would've made a professional Quidditch player go pale.

If there was anything positive of not having a proper house nor that many personal possessions, it took Fred only a short while to collect plans and all thoughts regarding pranks. Tossing his journals and a few spare sets of clothes into a knapsack, he tried to think of anything George might want. His twin wasn't around, but then again, George was probably dealing with his kids. Making a split second decision, he grabbed the things he knew that would matter most to his twin including the broom that was leaning against the wall.

Apparating as close he could to Hogwarts, the redhead made his way to the castle, finding it in chaos. Unfortunately, it wasn't the type of chaos he favored. Finding a bit of wall to lean against, he watched the people hurrying around him. Merlin, nobody knew what they were doing, did they?

Hermione Takes Control

2010-06-18 03:46 am UTC (link)

Hermione left Rose's room and walked through the hallways. She didn't remember the school being so tiring, but then she hadn't been wearing five inch heels back in school. She transfigured her shoes into something less professional and a lot more practical and went downstairs.

The school was in a state of chaos, which wouldn't do at all. How were they supposed to protect themselves when they couldn't even get inside.

She grabbed a boy, a friend of James, Dale he said his name was, and put him to work.

"Get everyone into the Great Hall. We'll be starting assigning rooms soon. Also get the house elves to do an inventory of everything we have: food, water, clothes. Anything at all. We'll be coming soon to assign rooms."

After sending the Patronus out to Patrick, Ted headed home only to Vicotire hard at work packing. Grabbing the items closest to him--his father's journals and the irreplaceable personal items--he realized he was just in the way of her system. Bidding her goodbye with a kiss and an "I love you," Ted left for his grandmother's.

He found her home deserted, with made him frown. While he realized that his mother was probably out with the Aurors, he fully expected his grandmother to be home. Of all the times for her to be social and go visiting!

Biting back a sigh, he began to go through the house. It was difficult, going though more than half a century's worth of memories, but he did his bed. Photo albums and her jewelery were the first things to be put into the bag, followed by her journals and the keepsakes from his grandfather. Clothes were next, though he doubted he would have been picked the things she would have, but basic robes would serve best.

Making one last stop at the flat he shared with Vicotire, he saw that the woman had cleared it out as best she could. Unable to think of anything else he might need, he threw up the security spells, knowing they probably wouldn't survive the barrage of the Death Eaters' spells, but it made him feel better all the same.

It was now off to Hogwarts.

From the McKinnon Estate - Alastor, Callum, Others (?)

watchful_eye
2010-06-18 05:16 am UTC (link)

Months had suddenly turned into days and they were far from ready for this.

For the next week or so, he was still an Auror. He wasn't transitioning the Unit to Vance officially until approval for the Patrol came through. So, when the call to King's Cross had come through, he went. He was the best positioned of any of them to assess the need for the Order to be called as well.

Then the fire message from Potter had come through.

It had taken everything Alastor had in him not to return to the Ministry. His first instinct was to do his job. Protect the Ministry and their way of life. And, then he had to remind himself the way to do that was to get to Hogwarts and start the work their, while hoping their people made it out with as many innocents as they could.

So, he went back to Marlene's home. He had little enough he needed. He hadn't done more than get a few clothes and a couple books since his return months ago. When he arrived, he summoned those items and stuffed everything into a rucksack.

That was the easy part and it only took a few seconds.

Next he went searching for his brother. There were too many reasons why he couldn't leave Cal behind, both personal and professional. As soon as he found him, Alastor wasted no words.

"The Ministry has fallen. The enemy has taken control. Get your things. We're retreating to Hogwarts. There isn't the time to argue about this and I'm not leaving without you, so for the love of God, please just give me the benefit of the doubt this once and let's get out of here."

Jamie's wolf caught Al, quill in one hand, and the obituaries section for proofreading in another. He'd heard it speak, switched his quill from his right hand to his left, pulled out his wand, and disappeared on the spot. Going home.

Take everything necessary from the house...

"Scor!" he called out, running upstairs. "We need to leave for Hogwarts. Bring basic necessities."

He rushed to his bedroom, looking around frantically, and emerged with a cardboard box full of books, heavy volumes, manuals, references, shrunk down and flattened to the thickness of a comic book.

"Scor, come on."

Al - library

bp_albusseverus
2010-06-18 05:50 am UTC (link)

The cardboard box, packed with as many books as his arms and magic could carry, was in Al's deathgrip.

He couldn't see Severus, or Dad, or Jamie and it was a crowded madhouse. Al carried his box as far as the library - not Severus', the public Hogwarts library, which was quite empty at the moment. He set the box on the nearest table, before starting the tedious task of taking out, expanding, and cataloguing the new volumes, with the quill which, prior to this, was only used by Al to proofread the Prophet contents.

Quickly, his table grew fortified with the towers of unpacked books, a miniature castle in its own right.

In times like these, some knowledge deserved to be public.

Hogwarts. He was safe. Relatively. He'd lost his trunk, all his clothes, books, everything. But he had his broom, his wand and Oscar. He was amazed the cat hadn't been killed in the chaos, but he was a sneaky little thing and he'd hidden until Louis had come back for him. Shouldering his broom, he made his way into the familiar building, pausing when he crossed the threshold to wonder where he should go.

Dominique... Striding down the corridors, Oscar trotting at his side, he finally found himself outside his sister's rooms. Pushing the door open, he peered inside. 'Dom?'

Leaving St. Mungo's: Margot/Lori

margotmck
2010-06-18 01:07 pm UTC (link)

The morning had been a tad on the slow side, so Margot spend most of it in the Emergency Ward going over new spells with the Healer in charge of training. By the time lunch came around, only six hours of her 36 hour shift had passed and she had only seen three patients. She spent her lunch going through more books, including a few muggle medical books which were stuffed into her bag.

She was beginning to think it was going to be a boring shift when the first of them started coming in. Several people apparated straight to the first floor entrance with scraps and cuts. The suddenness of their arrival cause a moment of hesitation before Margot along with the rest of the staff and trainees took charge.

"All right people, we are on triage mood. Get severe cases out to the correct floors first. All non-life threatening patients can wait in the lobby. Let's go!"

Instincts kicked in as Margot began asking a witch about her injuries. It appeared to be just a broken arm, but she kept mumbling about masks and nightmares. Grabbing another trainees, she instructed the witch be taken to the 4th floor for further examination before moving on to the next.

The next few were cuts and scrapes, so she moved on quickly. As she turned to check on a man who was holding a witch in his lap the message about the Ministry came in. Oh Marlene, you better be alright! she thought. At first, Margot thought she couldn't leave all these people. However, logic that she was wanted by the government kicked in and she was going to be needed elsewhere. She also knew they would need help.

Looking at the woman, she could tell she was dead. "Sir, I need you to let her go, so I can look at her," she said. It took a moment for the man to release the corpse, but once he did, she levitated it and began to move away. "I'll be right back."

Margot hated lying to whoever that was, but she needed some sort of distraction in order to slip away. "LORI!" she shouted. "I need you!"

Draco was taking a much needed break from fighting with the contents of the Malfoy Private Library. Several of the tomes--including most of the highest importance--refused to leave the Manor, even under the care of the family head.

He cursed as he took a long draw of the scotch, which was the same time the house elf appeared--the one his mother had charged to inform them when Voldemort attacked the Ministry. He dropped the glass, which shattered on the floor. Draco ordered the elf to clean it up, he wasn't going to let the floors be damaged, even though he was taking a temporary leave from the place.

He apparated to Astoria and told her about the elf.

Once they were ready to leave for Hogwarts, Draco ordered the Manor to seal itself. He didn't expect it to be able to hold itself against Voldemort. But maybe it would prevent the bastard from getting the valuables that they couldn't bring. Maybe.

Ben was tossing a frisbee for the dogs when his father's Patronus came. Get to Hogwarts, it said in his father's voice. Immediately, and with anything you need. You won't be back. Ben blinked, startled, and then went into action. He'd question his father later, but he knew it had to be important. He hadn't heard Anthony sound so scared and desperate ever.

He grabbed the mobile in his pocket and dialed Ronan, not surprised when he lover didn't answer. He left a brief message, telling Ronan to get to school as fast as he could, and not to worry about the house. He pushed back the fear that gripped him, that something was seriously wrong and Ronanw as in danger. He knew his lover would do his job, and come home to him. Even if home was going to be Hogwarts.

Then he started packing. He was good with shrinking and weightless charms, and in less than a half hour had most of their possessions packed. Ronan's had been easiest, they were all still in his two dufflebags--weapons, clothes, a few personal items--and Ben added them to the pile. His guitar and music journals went next, and Bob's food. The piano was next, a careful bit of Transfiguration had it miniature sized and he'd let people make fun of him for bringing it, but he couldn't imagine what he'd do without it.

Food was next, followed by clothes, books, photos and anything else he could find and fit quickly. Once he was certain he had everything, he shrank all the bags and put them in one large, wizard-space trunk, before lightening that and lifting it. Then he called to the dogs, hoped Nicky was okay, and Apparate to the Hogwarts gates, and made his way up to the castle.

Marlene had seen battles and she'd seen the aftermath of them, but when she arrived at King's Cross, she saw Gellert take away Dumbledore's body and that wasn't something she ever expected to see. Even knowing that he was dying hadn't prepared her for that.

She literally froze for a few minutes before remembering that she was here to do a job. She went where the body had been, searching for the last piece of the puzzle. She could feel the magic coming from it and knew that this had killed Dumbledore. They couldn't leave it there; they'd have to find out why this was so important.

She cast a spell around it, making sure to contain the magic and then cut a piece of her robe and threw it over the trophy, so that there was no direct contact.

She continued with her investigation, but all too soon, she got the message from James, and she wasted no time. Even with all her friends here, she knew that they had no time to waste. She went home and got everything she needed, and then went to the farmhouse, but found that most of Dumbledore's things were gone, which meant that they were already at Hogwarts. With that, she Apparated to the school, and made her way to the castle.

Harry was still at Kings Cross when the message came, having arrived just in time to see the horror of what had happened. Dumbledore dead, Grindewald getting him out as no one seemed able to stop him. That alone was more than he'd ever wanted to see. He'd seen Dumbledore die once, and while the grief he'd felt then was many more times stronger than the shock of seeing him dead on the ground now, it was something he'd hoped not to experience in a very long time. He saw Marlene get there faster than he could,and then the message arrived and his blood ran cold.

His first thought went to James, but as he'd sent the message he had to be okay. Then to Hermione and Ron, then Sirius, hoping they'd all got out. Ginny was safe at Hogwarts, and as far as possessions were they were too. All save for his broom, which was stuck in his office. He wouldn't be seeing that again.

He Apparated to the garden, looking at the house that was nearly finished and wouldn't be used. He didn't even enter, but settled for the broom shed, remarkably enough never hit in the attack. Getting out one of his older brooms he looked inside, pondering things for a moment. The shed was filled with older brooms. Nimbuses and Firebolts, better than anything there was at Hogwarts, and so he summoned a bag and shrunk them all. At least they could be put to good use.

Taking his own broom in his hand, he Apparated to Hogwarts gates where he was immediately approached by the Aurors on duty having been told by Jamie to wait for him. He informed them that the Ministry had fallen, that they under no circumstances were to take orders from the Ministry and to notify him the moment someone contacted them. Once he made sure they understood and agreed, he instructed them to stay at the gate and help direct those who would be arriving and warn him and Moody if anything would happen. He'd need to speak to Moody or Severus, make sure they too could get their families here. There were other Aurors as well that would likely want to come and help them. Without the Ministry, this was all they had, and they'd need every hand they could get to fight the war now.

Getting on his broom he flew towards the castle, getting off when he spotted James just outside the door. He landed. "How are you?" he asked. "Do you have a moment?"

Lily/Lucy (Molly Jr NPC)

2010-06-18 05:40 pm UTC (link)

They were out for a late lunch, catching up with Molly and celebrating the fact that their tests were done. And then everything changed. The fire message from Jamie almost made her gasp, but she was able to control her face as she signaled for the check.

Lucy sent her a quizzical look, but Lily knew that it was important to remain calm right now. Drawing unwanted attention would be bad, even though they were among Muggles. Possibly especially because of that.

"We need to go," is all she said, and soon they were standing out on the street. Lily put up wandless, silent silencing charms. "There's been an attack at the Ministry. We need to go to Hogwarts." She didn't tell Lucy or Molly to Apparate home for belongings, because she wasn't sure there was time. "We'll know more when we're there."

She sent a fire message of her own to James. It was short and to the point Don't be a hero, or I'll kick your arse.

Hugo & Mum

bp_hugo
2010-06-18 06:15 pm UTC (link)

Hugo all but ran up to the castle, Chudley Cannon hissing madly at him from his carrying case. He paused just outside the castle and let the cat go, knowing he would hide for awhile and then find him later. Cats were intelligent and independent that way, which was why Hugo liked them. Then he headed into the castle, searching for his family and more information.

He didn't let himself feel afraid, though he definitely was. His Mum and Dad would be on top of things, and he didn't let himself think the worse. Not until he knew more information, anyway.

Entering the castle, he headed straight for the Great Hall. Something told him that was going to be the center of the action. It was the largest single gathering place, and had places for people sit or stand, or lie down if they were injured. It was logical, and now he was thinking like his Mother.

He looked around for Wren, but he didn't see either her or Professor Corner. He did see his mother, and he grinned even as he headed over. "Mum," he called out, looking around to see who else was here. "How can I help?"

Sirius arrives

hate_fleas
2010-06-18 07:07 pm UTC (link)

It had been hell getting out, even after his run in with Bellatrix. His heart was pounding and he didn't stop again, didn't join any of the fights he saw on his way to an exit, just kept running. And it wasn't until he was outside, panting for breath and feeling like he might just die that Sirius actually felt the extent of his injuries.

He couldn't just stay there though, he was too close, and passing muggles who managed to spot him struggling to catch his breath in the alleyway looked at him like he might be crazy and hurried past.

Get to Hogwarts. He reminded himself of Jamie's message, when he got to the castle then he could let himself fall down the way he wanted to right then. He gathered himself up and apparated directly to Hogwarts, just outside the gates. He didn't bother going home - not when he just wanted to lay down, the temptation would be too great there.

It was chaos at the castle too, people arriving searching for loved ones. Trying to figure out what they were doing. Sirius, tucked his wand away and pressed a hand to his shoulder slowly making his way up to the castle, looking for anyone he knew, maybe someone he knew who was good with healing spells - that sounded nice right about then.

2010-06-18 08:22 pm UTC (link)

Bill was at work when Jamie's message arrived, deep in the work that allowed him at least some distraction from his life. When getting the message, his face paled, but he knew he couldn't just go to Hogwarts. There were other things that would be needed. Grabbing papers from his files - spells, security arrangements, things that could be used at Hogwarts - he made magical copies and stuffed them into a large bag. With a spell the bag would fit more than enough, and with another spell the copied papers were hidden. He banished the originals back to their places.

Next step was Apparating to the ground floor. With a casual air he passed the queue, getting the first cart after a word with the Goblin, then it bore off down into the tunnels below and his vault. He emptied the entire contents into the bag, and when it got too heavy, he conjured up one more and filled that too. He hesitated for a moment, but without the key he couldn't get into the other vaults of the family. This would have to be enough. With the bags in hand, he got back into the cart and sat still while it returned. The bags were almost too heavy to lift, but he heaved them out when he left the cart, went back towards his office before Apparating straight to his house. The Goblins would wonder, but not for long.

He called out for mum, but there was no answer. Perhaps she had already gone? He didn't have time to find out, he'd taken long enough at the bank. A third bag and he grabbing anything that might be useful before finally taking his broom and Apparating to Hogwarts. By now only the levitating spells on the bags made them possible to carry and he knew he was reduced to walking to the school if he was going to get them there at all.

Bryn, Jazz, ?

brynmebase
2010-06-18 09:14 pm UTC (link)

Bryn, this is Rose's mother. She told me your animagus form is a lynx. She says she loves you. Now, I need you to pack everything you need for survival and get to Hogwarts immediately. There is no time to waste.

Talk about weird, an otter patronus materializing in the middle of his kitchen? Then talking in Mrs Weasley's voice. Not to mention the bizarre message. But before he had a chance to think it over too much, his brother had arrived. He'd barely understood the words that came from Jasper's lips. The Ministry had been taken? They had to run... it was just insane.

Going upstairs, he packed up his stuff while Jazz talked their parents into leaving the country. Grandpa and Grandma would need to leave too if they could. No Muggles would be safe with a Death Eater in the Minister's chair. Shrinking down his belongings, he stuffed them all into one rucksack, grabbing his broom as he left.

Hugging his parents, he promised to stay safe and they in return assured him they'd be out of the country the very next day if possible. Then he and Jasper apparated as close to the castle as they could, before hopping on their brooms to cover the rest of the journey up to the front door.

Remus

galarusblaidd
2010-06-18 09:22 pm UTC (link)

There were two things Remus would fight harder to protect than anything else on the planet -- his family and his students. He'd had both on the Express. Letting most of the other professors handle getting the children to safety, Remus had taken to the air to provide covering fire and stayed there until the last possible moment.

By the time he got back to the school, everything was in chaos and with the battle rush still coursing through him, it was almost overwhelming once he got closer to that crush of people. And not all of them were 'normal'. He could sense several of his own kind in the mix, even if he couldn't make out many individuals at all in the crowd. Shrinking his broom down and putting it in his pocket, he glanced around for an out of the way place where maybe the scent of blood wouldn't be quite as heavy.

Although, he now realised some of that was his. Nothing serious or life threatening or even in need of attention with his healing; but he hadn't come out of things unscathed. For a moment, he thought he might be wrong in his assessment as a burning sensation began at this side.

Then he realised it was the Map alerting him to yet more people coming onto the grounds.

Shaking his head at himself, he moved further into the chaos. He wanted to find Regulus, Ted, James, Sirius, and Harry, not necessarily in that order. Then he'd see if he could give the other werewolves assistance getting in and dealing with the crowd. If he was nearly overwhelmed, many of those with less experience dealing with the sensory overload would be climbing the walls by now and they needed to keep everyone calm until they could regroup.

Later, he could think about the children left behind, the dead, the missing, the future.

Ben & Bryn

zenben
2010-06-18 11:36 pm UTC (link)

Ben didn't know how long he'd stood there, just staring at nothing. He knew he was still breathing, because every breath hurt, but he couldn't remember any of his thoughts in the past however many minutes. Ronan was gone, that's all that mattered.

He finally broke out of his trance when Bob nudged him, and he looked down at the dogs. They knew something was wrong, if the slumped shoulders were anything to go by. He thought about Nicki, how if Ronan hadn't made it out of the Ministry there was little hope for her.

He choked back a sob, and stumbled towards the castle, dogs on his heels and trunk in his arms. He needed to do something, anything, to stop the pain that was threatening to consume him. He managed to hold himself together, give his name to Ted and get a room assignment with his father and job to keep him busy.

Walking down the halls of Hogwarts was like walking through a tunnel. He didn't notice anyone, just kept his eyes on his feet as he headed up to his dad's rooms and dumped his things. His dad wasn't there, he hadn't expected him to be. He'd be in the infirmary.

He left the dogs whining, and headed down to the Great Hall, not sure how he was still on his feet. He looked around, saw the relieved families huddling together, and felt cold.

After being patched up by Craig, Jasper made his way back into the castle. He checked in and dropped his stuff off in the room he'd been assigned. Bryn had disappeared, looking for Ben once they heard whispers that Ronan hadn't returned from the Ministry yet. Jazz hoped that the dread-locked Auror was okay. But with so many killed, he doubted it.

Sighing, he roughed a hand through his hair, knowing his next task would be the most unpleasant. He had to find Fred and let him know his brother was dead. Heading back down into the chaos, it took him a few minutes before he finally spotted the familiar red head. Close by his side was a boy with black hair and eyeliner who looked vaguely related to the older Weasley.

'Umm, Fred... I-' He paused, trying to figure out just how to break the news. 'It's George, he's, he was at the Ministry.' He shook his head, lowering his gaze to the floor. 'I'm so sorry.'

A man found him, a man that could only be Alastor's brother from his looks, and after introducing himself, he told him about Sirius and explained what had happened. Jamie didn't wait to hear the rest, but instead, he sent Alastor a message and ran to the infirmary.

He went straight to the bed where Sirius was. "Hey, love. Are you okay?" he asked as he leaned to kissed him gently. "I was worried about you."
