... flying to her mouth. Amelia nodded, her eyes pained. "He pushed me out of the way of a Killing Curse, and it hit him instead." Sirius reached out and pulled her into another hug. Amelia felt her eyes slip closed again. They stayed in silence for a while longer, thinking about Percy, giving his life to get Amelia out, and all of those friends and family who were in the wind. Arthur, Frank, Alice, what had happened to them? Suddenly, Amelia sat up. "The kids?" she asked, looking at Minerva. Minerva bit her lip. "I told Harry to get the others and get to a safe place. I lost track of them for a while, but I saw them portkey out." "But where are they?" Amelia asked, fearful for her niece and the others. Minerva couldn't give her an answer, but a moment later, a strange elf popped in. She looked around at the group, and handed a folded piece of parchment to Minerva. "I being Mimsy," she squeaked. "Master Harry wishes me to give you this." Before Minerva could say anything or ask any questions, the elf popped away. Fear gripping her heart, Minerva opened the note.

Harry has chosen to remove himself and his friends from view for the near future. They're going somewhere no one would think to look for them. It is public knowledge that I took over his guardianship; therefore, the Death Eaters could try and find him here." Sirius nodded. "I want to see for myself that they're all right as well, but I think they're doing the smart thing here. We trained them well, so we have to trust that they'll take care of themselves." The fire flared again, and then again, several more times, as people stepped out. Frank and Alice looked slightly worse for the wear, but not seriously injured. They seemed incredibly relieved to see Amelia there. "We sent your Senior Undersecretary to the safe house," Frank informed her. "She was shaken up but all right." Amelia nodded, thankful. Behind the Longbottoms were Bill and Fleur, and then the twins. Bill looked around. "Have you seen dad at all?" he asked worriedly. "I heard it got nasty at the Ministry." "That's putting it mildly," Alice snorted. "The Ministry was evacuating when we left. The building's lost." Frank was quick to reassure the redhead. ...
