... Amelia nodded. "Kingsley sent us a Patronus message." She sighed. "Very well, let's get out." She turned to the rest of her staff. "Use the stairs, try and get to the visitor's entrance. Be careful. Everyone knows where the safe house is, correct?" They all nodded. One of the things Amelia had done in the last year was work with all the senior staff to set up a safe location where they could run the government underground, if the need arose. It was a muggle house located in the south of England, that she and Sirius had renovated. It could house all the senior staff, if it had to. "Make your way there, but be certain that no one can trace you. Take your time, but be there by tomorrow morning." They nodded again, and Amelia turned back to Percy and the Aurors. "Let's go." They gave the rest of the staff a few minutes head start, before they headed to the stairs. The sounds of fighting filled their ears, audible on every floor. The Death Eaters had infiltrated fully and completely; even with Amelia's cleaning house, there were still supporters and sympathizers in many departments, and they had used that to mount this attack. Percy kept his wand raised, looking around him warily, ready to act at a moment's notice. He may have been the most book-inclined Weasley, but that didn't mean he was a slouch in Defense.

"Harry!" Harry turned quickly, dodging a jet of red light, and felt a knot in his chest loosen at seeing Minerva battle her way to him. "Please tell me help's coming," he said as she reached him. Minerva shook her head grimly. "Diagon Alley was attacked this morning, most of the Order is there." "What about Aurors?" Harry asked, firing a blasting hex at a nearby Death Eater. Minerva grit her teeth, transfiguring an opponent's robes to iron, and then stunning him as he fell under the weight. "Tonks sent Albus a Patronus right before we came out to assist. Death Eaters infiltrated the Ministry as well. It's chaos over there." Harry felt his heart thud painfully. "Amelia?" Minerva shook her head. "No news. Harry, you need to find your friends and get yourselves out. Go somewhere safe." Harry nodded, not liking it, but knowing that they needed to protect themselves. He and his friends had a task to complete, and they had to protect the knowledge that they held. "What about the students staying at Hogwarts over break?" "Already ...
