Chapter Seven: Portus
::::::-------------
Everyone was on the upstairs landing when Dumbledore scurried up the steps and into the hall.
"What are we going to do, Albus?" whimpered Mrs Weasley.
Dumbledore did not reply. Instead he lifted a candlestick and held it against his wand.
"Albus, don't!" shrieked Mrs Weasley. "What if it's intercepted?"
"It's a risk we shall simply have to take," rumbled Dumbledore. He glanced up at the students. "Portus."
Instinctively they descended the steps. "I thought you said-" began Harry.
"I was wrong," said Dumbledore. "The school is not safe, but it is less dangerous than this place. Now, everyone take hold of the Portkey." They obeyed. "You too, Fred, George."
The twins spluttered incoherently for a moment, but were silenced by their mother's look.
"I need you two to do some detective work," clarified Dumbledore. "I will tell you about it later. Three, two, one..."

That chapter sucked, but it's going somewhere...
