... arms from the alter. They had given it to the paper to use, knowing that they weren't going to hide their new status. Harry tucked the paper into his bag, to read later, and looked back at his godfather. Sirius shrugged apologetically. "I know you don't want a bunch of people you don't know watching your every move, but you need protection. And don't tell me you can take care of yourself, Harry, this is how it's happening. Each person on this detail has been personally vetted. They're all a part of Amelia's personal guard." Harry nodded resignedly, and Sirius smiled slightly. "I need to get back to help deal with the search and a whole bunch of other issues. You should head to the station, the guard should be there by now." They nodded and gave the older man a hug before he stepped through the Floo.

They stopped at a car halfway down the train, and Tonks gave them both a hug. "You should get on the train. I'll send the others your way when they arrive." Harry nodded his thanks, before glancing questioningly at the others. Tonks shrugged. "They stay until the train leaves. Protocol and all that." Harry and Susan rolled their eyes, and got on board. Over the next fifteen minutes, the rest of their friends arrived, before the train took off at eleven o'clock precisely. Once they were on their way, Harry and Susan told the others about the prison break. Hermione gasped in shock. "But how? I thought they were moving the prisoners to prevent this from happening?" Harry nodded grimly. "They were, the night the breakout happened. Unfortunately, Sirius believes there's a spy in the Department, who informed them of what was going on, as well as the window the wards would be down, so they were able to plan their attack around our weaknesses."
