    ... and being mindful of the thought that it may be a trap, Harry stepped around the crumbling brick. Ginny, I think it's over. Ginny popped up as well, from her hiding spot in a nearby alley. I think you're right, she commented. Harry bit his lip. "Where are the adults?" he asked out loud, taking stock of the situation now that it looked like the remaining Death Eaters really were knocked out. More pops sounded out, and Harry raised his wand quickly, spinning around to face the new threat. He narrowed his eyes, recognizing a few of the newcomers. Fletcher, the scum who had tailed him on a previous Hogsmeade trip, was off to one side, looking very shifty. He recognized as Dedalus Diggle, the excitable man who had bowed to him in a shop while he was shopping with Petunia, and greeted him upon his return to the wizarding world before his first year, was next to him. Moody was there, and so was a woman he didn't recognize. The woman harrumphed at seeing the students pointing wands at them. "Put those away," she ordered. "We're here to help." Harry was happy to see that not one of them obeyed, instead looking to him for instruction. Glancing around also gave him the opportunity to take stock of any injuries.

Sirius almost smiled approvingly when he saw that his godson and the others hadn't relaxed their guard yet. "Kingsley, Tonks, do you need help getting the Death Eaters out of here?" he asked, looking sidelong at the Aurors. They shook their heads and moved forward, attaching portkeys to the five remaining criminals. Once they were gone, Sirius gestured for Harry to stow his wand. The teenager listened, and following his actions, the other students also put their wands away. Sirius smiled. "You all should head back to the castle. We'll take it from here. Good job, all of you." Harry quirked his lips upwards slightly, as he led the group down the road towards Hogwarts. A few students mumbled a "Thanks, professor," as they passed Sirius. Once the teenagers were gone, Sirius looked at the Order members who had shown up. "It appears your services are no longer needed," he commented idly. A couple of them bristled, but didn't speak.
