Re: Bill, Fleur, Aberforth Dumbledore and Students, with Cameos by Penny Clearwater and Arabella Fig
Penny turned from where she'd been warding rooms and corridors and ran along the corridor towards Bill and Fleur. The wards were far from her best work, but they did the job and the loud noise traps she'd integrated would alert them to anyone who did try and get through them uninvited.
She was drained and dirty ; her hair was filled with rubble from being beside an exploding wall but she knew deep down that the wards protecting the tunnels that the younger students had used was her best work. No one would be getting through them without using the key she'd shown to other Order members earlier.
The children were safe. That was the most important thing. Inside her heart was breaking at her old school and what had become of it. But now wasn't the time for emotions. She had a job to do and she intended to do it.
"What do you need ?" she said of the Weasleys as she finally caught up with them outside the trap door.
