Several members of the Order of the Phoenix stood in Dumbledores Office back in Hogwarts. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were both near the fire, and Mcgonnagall was comforting a weeping Molly. Shacklebolt, Lupin, Moody, and Sirius were standing against a wall. Bill Weasley, Tonks, Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones were circling the rest of the room, with Hagrid taking up the bulk of wall space. Severus Snape was in a chair in a far corner. Surprisingly, the room was dead quiet, save for Mrs. Weasley's sobs.
" Our source has found out where Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger are. We need to act quickly, and we need to plan our attack-." Dumbledore's voice turned soft as he faced Mrs. Weasley. " - before it is too late. When the Death Eaters arrived at Headquarters, we did not have enough time. Now that everyone else is safe, we cannot make that same mistake again. We have to be ready." He turned to Lupin.
" Go on, Remus."
Lupin took out a large map of Britain and spread it out on the desk. " They are being held in an abandoned castle only a few miles from Headquarters. We can easily apparate to a spot outside of the castle, and then move in from there."
