"Theo, you’re with Malfoy; and Hermione you’re with me. We’ll split off here and circle towards the back gates to check the perimeter before we enter. We’ll regroup at the back gate. Ground Rules: You will stay with us at all times. We’re in charge, nothing is up for debate. If we tell you to leave, you apparate out. Immediately. Understood?" Theo and Hermione both nodded in agreement, although everyone present knew that they were unlikely to follow any of those rules. Harry let out a heavy sigh. "Red Sparks, injury. Yellow sparks, backup. Green Sparks, all clear." Harry made eye contact with Malfoy for a moment longer than seemed necessary before nodding and turning off towards the right side of the gate.
