The adults had their battle mostly planned except for the Harry factor.
"Old Moldy still thinks that it is Harry he must battle. He doesn't know that for one to live, the other must fall is about him fighting himself. Tom has gathered a lot of experience while on the road, gathering his soul pieces. But is it enough against Old Moldy? That's not a chance we want to take. Not when it's our only chance. The journal was it. There's no bringing Tom back if he fails. We need to be underhanded." Kamen said.
"What are you saying?" Tonks asked.
"We've brewed the polyjuice. We'd like a volunteer to be Harry. We won't force anyone because we know this is a death sentence. Not in a you'll definitely die way. But there's a reasonable chance. Which is why we would like a volunteer. The fake Harry will face Old Moldy and Tom as a true Slytherin will strike while he's distracted. Nagini should be dead by then." Kamen said.
"And we're sure we have enough to fight the death eaters?" Mr. Greengrass asked.
"Both the Bulgarian aurors and the French, thanks to the Delacour family, will be joining us. Will we have enough? No. But enough to win? Yes. Especially since we're not afraid to fight fire with fire. Now, is there anyone willing to be Harry?" Kamen asked.
There was maybe a moments pause before someone called out that they'd do it. Everyone looked around to see who it was.
"I'll do it." Andromeda said as she stepped through the front.
"No, momma!" Tonks cried out.
"Yes. I'm not suicidal my darling, but I'm the best bet. Everyone here has young to look after. You're grown, and I've lost my Ted. I make the most sense." Andromeda said.
"Poppycock! I'm the oldest here. I'm a widow, too. If anyone, it should be me." Lady Longbottom said.
"But you have Neville. I'll do it." Andromeda stubbornly said.
As the three ladies argued, a patronus arrived from McGonagall.
"I trust you more than the Phoenix Order, so I hope this reaches you. Hogwarts is under attack. The wards are holding up. I feel they'll stand with an heir to bolster them. Please help." Minnie stated through her patronus.
Immediately, the Delacour family sent word to the French aurors as Kamen sent word to the Bulgarian.
With no time to argue, Kamen snatched a hair from Harry's head and added it to the potion, and handed it to Andy. He knew her logic was best.
"Lady Longbottom, please stay with the kids. I'm going to bring my daughter to hold the wards. Would anyone like to come with me to help keep your fellow classmates calm?" Kamen asked.
The twins and Reggie immediately volunteered. Immediately, Kat's brothers also volunteered. More spoke up, but their parents said no. Or in Ginny's case, Bill said no. My dad planned for us to enter through Hog's Head tunnel.
"Kat, I'm trusting you to get everyone safely in the school. Do not follow us into battle." Kamen said.
"Who do you think I am? Harry?" Kat asked.
"Oi! I resent that." Harry called out, still rubbing his head from the hair pull.
"You're her idiot brother for a reason." Theo said as others chuckled.
"The one brother who can't be there to protect her." Harry pouted.
"We can't risk you being seen and ruin our decoy, Harry. All right, everyone, it's time to go." Kamen said.
