"-Terrorist attack. Come on, we need to get into the woods, under cover."

They nod, shaking, and follow.

Off they go. Ellie keeps alert for any approaching threats. Once they get to a safer position, she'll send a Patronus message to Anathema.

There's been a lot of small explosions coming from Anathema's direction - but there's also some loud cracks, and Anathema comes running to her a few minutes later.

"They Apparated out," she says, nearly breathless.

"Are you all right? Grim?"

"I'm okay. Grim was right behind me - "

She turns just as the large dog comes bounding up, panting. He seems to have a cut on his shoulder, but no more major injuries.

"We're all more or less okay here, at least physically. If they're retreating we should link back up with Fay."

"Yeah. I think the Ministry finally showed up."

She glances, concerned, at the muggle family. 

"Not sure what to do with them," she says in a lower tone. "If we take them back chances are they'll just get Obliviated again. Which isn't going to do them any good."

"Yeah. Especially with - all the earlier ones. The Ministry might forget they're around, but - they might need medical care..."

"Could have Grim watch them here and go ask Fay?"

"...Maybe, yeah, but if he's - busy being Grim - he can't talk to them..."

"Split up again, then?"

She nods a little. "Probably best."

"Okay. Do you want to stay here or go?"

She hesitates. "...Not sure. I can stay, though."

"Okay. I'll be back." She gathers up her cloaks and sets off to find Fay.

Fay's moved from where they left her, and the field's big - still, Ellie can find her by heading to the tightest knot of people coordinating crowd management and emergency response.

She slips out of the cloak on the fringes of the crowd and stuffs it away as she makes her way over.

It takes her a minute to detangle herself after she spots Ellie, but she steps aside, frowning. "Is everything alright? Where's Anathema?"

"We're both fine, but it's the groundskeeper's family. We got them out but- We're not sure it's safe to bring them back."

She nods. "I'll hand off here, then I can come with you."

"Okay."

She turns to manage that, finishing fairly efficiently, then lets Ellie know she's done and can head over.

She leads the way back to where she left Anathema and the Muggles.
