I ran out of my room to find Dad and Remus already frantically gathering things to get ready. They obviously saw the message on their own rings.

"What is going on Abby?" Dad asks as we run out of the house.

"I don't know, this is different then the story. It's too soon." I rush out, tears still streaming down my eyes. I swallow them up though, there's a war coming, that's no place for crying. 

Dad grabbed my hand and Apparated us to Hogsmeade, Remus appearing next to us a split second later. We could see several other Order members joining us. Dad had sent out a Patronus before we left, so Aurors and Order members were flooding the street currently.

We all rushed towards the school from there. I took charge of filling in all who could hear me about the potential situation. Aurors were filling me in that they had confirmation that Voldemort was calling in all his followers, they just didn't know what for. I explained his target would be Harry and Dumbledore, so Voldemort is most likely to come here to the school.

"Harry!" I call out, finding my god brother near the front entrance of the Great Hall once we storm into the school. Most all the students are gathered in the hall, everyone looking terrified and confused.

"Abby! Sirius!" Harry calls out in relief when he sees us.

"What the hell happened?" I ask urgently. "Give full details."

"I haven't been able to feel him since you took out the soul piece, but this morning, just a few hours ago now, I felt a flash of rage and I got forcibly thrown back into Voldemort's mind." Harry explains urgently. "He learned about the horcrux being destroyed in the bank, which I'm assuming was your doing. He was fearful of all his other horcrux's, so an hour later I felt another, even greater flash of rage when he found the destroyed Gaunt house. I don't know if he went to find anything else, I only heard him tell his followers to gather everyone. He said he needed to kill Dumbledore and me, and he's coming here any minute now."

"Can you still feel him at all now?" I ask seriously and he shakes his head in denial. "We feared Voldemort might still have had a trace of residual magic left in you after the extraction, so that was likely it. Hopefully, it's the advantage we needed to get everything ready. Dad," I turn to my dad who is now talking to Minnie and Dumbledore. "Get all these students out of here. They can go into the Room of Requirement and ask it to create a method of mass evacuation. It should lead them out to Hogsmeade but also keep them safe during the travels."

"The room of what?" Minnie asks in confusion.

"No time to explain, just know it can evacuate all the students and keep them safe." Dad interjects. He calls in several of his Auror friends and together with Minnie he starts to gather all the students.

"Abby!" Fred calls out, finding me through the crowd after having just joined us.

"No." I breathe out in fear, my eyes widening when I see him and George walking towards us. "You can't be here, Fred."

"Why?" George asks, looking at his brother in confusion and then at me. "What's going on?"

"I'm not leaving." Fred says adamantly, staring hard into my eyes. "You're here, my entire family is here. I'm going to fight. I don't care what you've seen." My eyes widen even further at that. "Yes, we both know you see the future, you couldn't exactly hide that from us. But I don't care, I'm not leaving."

I frown in sorrow, but then realize his resolve. "Fine, but you aren't leaving my sight once the fighting starts." I concede firmly.

"Wouldn't dream of it." He smirks cockily at me, and I turn my attention to the remaining witches and wizards. Harry is over with Dumbledore, who is trying to catch my attention. The headmaster glides over once he sees me looking at him.
