Re: Bill, Fleur, Aberforth Dumbledore and Students, with Cameos by Penny Clearwater and Arabella Fig
"They're all terrified," he said, leaving Fleur for a moment to comfort the girl and pair her up with an older student from her house.
"I think we'll go to the castle regardless of what happens," he said. "Even if there is no real attack, there are still people in control of the school that shouldn't be. They'll be a fight either way."
A voice broke his thoughts, shouting from the passage ahead. Aberforth Dumbledore stuck his head down into the tunnel and waved.
"How's it going?" Bill asked.
"There's so many of them," Aberforth replied. "We're nearly overloading the Floo but I've opened another in a room upstairs and I've got my house elf sending the older students through that one. Make sure when they come up through the tunnel that siblings are together. I've had two sets get sent to separate places already and Mrs. Figg had to send them back."
"Right," Bill agreed. "Thanks, Aberforth."
"Up you go," he said to the next student in line, offering a hand as the boy scaled the ladder into the trapdoor of the shop.
