“Afraid not. Hogwarts is likely going to become a battleground, so we’ll need to stick around and do what we can here. It’d be easier, I think, if we just sent all the students home, but that’s not my call to make.” Making a dash for his room, James dug around in his robes until he found the one where he’d left the Map. He’d need to start keeping it on him at all times. While he didn’t have his wand, he’d long ago set up a different charm to access the Map’s information. Unfolding his makeshift his bandage, he let blood drip onto the parchment, watching as it disappeared into the paper and began to reveal its contents. His eyes were quick to begin searching for his sister’s name, finding it by their mother’s. The hospital wing. He rolled his bottom lip into his mouth and rolled up the Map. “She’s in the infirmary. Mum’s with her.” He tugged at his brother’s shoulder with his good hand. “Come on.”
Albus watches James check out the Map and he’s awestuck by how clever his brother is. He never even thought to just check the Map for where their family is. When James tugs his shoulder, he turns and starts moving quickly. He walks head of James and holds all of the doors open for him on their way. “If we’re all sent home, all of the Death Eater students will be sent home too. I mean, that won’t stop whatever this is happening, but it’ll keep little kids away from it.” He knows James can’t do anything about this, but he tell him anyway.
