"Where are we going, Professor?" Hermione asked her Head of House.
Minerva McGonagall, though very busy with stowing things in several bags, smiled down at her. "Not too far - at least at first. It's going to be a march of about four to five hours. Then we'll build a camp - I hope you all know now how to do it quickly - and await the headmaster's further orders. We won't be in real danger." She stepped over to her desk and picked up several sheets of parchments. "Do kindly carry these orders to Squad Four of Penelope Clearwater, Squad Seven of Marcus Flint, Squad Eleven of Daniel Morgan and Squad Twelve of Tiberius Ashley and inform them that I'd like them to report back within half an hour. They are to follow us in order of their number. Can you do this for me?"
"Of course, Professor", Hermione said before she dashed off.
