    ... "Snape left us pretty quick after we left Dumbledore's office," Harry said, finishing his story. "I think he went to tell the other professors what was going on, because they arrived partway through the fight, but he couldn't be seen as helping us, so he stayed out of the way." Minerva nodded. "I have already spoken with Severus, and he said much the same thing. I am glad that he was able to do what he did. It is because of him that you had warning as it is." Harry smiled slightly. "Yeah, things definitely could have been worse." He sobered, thinking about what could have happened. Minerva sighed. "You should go and pack. The train leaves tomorrow morning, after all. I realize it isn't much time, but the Board of Governors felt that it would be best to get the students home as quickly as possible, considering what happened." Harry shrugged. "It makes sense. What happened at Diagon Alley?" Minerva felt herself release another sigh. "We responded to the call for aide from Tonks, who was patrolling the Alley at the time. There were quite a few Death Eaters, but fortunately they seemed more interested in causing havoc than actually hurting anyone. The Alley was in a state of disarray by the time the Death Eaters left, but I have every confidence it will be fixed soon." Harry bit his lip. "Were there any injuries?"

We shall have to wait and see." After a moment of silence, she took in a deep breath, and then let it out. "Go pack. What will come will come. Let us hope that it will work out for the best, but worrying about it does nothing." Harry smiled. "I'll see you later," he said, before leaving Minerva's office and heading up to Gryffindor Tower. XXX After lunch, Harry and his friends all met in the Room of Requirement, where Harry told them what had happened on the Astronomy Tower. Blaise rolled his eyes at Harry's Gryffindor tendencies. "Seriously, Potter, what is it with that 'saving people thing' you've got going on?" Harry raised an eyebrow. "You think I should have let Dumbledore die? What would that do for our side of the war?" Daphne tilted her head to the side. "You aligning yourself with Dumbledore now?" Harry shook his head. "Not at all. But Dumbledore is still an important figurehead, and Voldemort fears him, for good reason. He's a powerful wizard, whatever other issues I have with the man. And whatever else he's done, I don't want him to die." He smirked. "I want to see the look on his face when we win, without him." Blaise and Daphne ...
