"Louis," Jess said, "Calm it. We have a battle to fight, and morale is just as, if not more important than skill." He said seriously.
"McCoy," he said, face brightening. "Are James or Arthur coming?" He asked him "How are you? Will you be staying for the fight?" he added, glad to see that he was there.
"Students, take these masks, and secure them on your faces, as you know, with the DEs in charge of hogwarts your position there mustn't be compromised." he added, throwing each of them masks with just an eye slit for vision, otherwise it was all white. "Now, i've set up one way portals to the Room of Requirement in the drawing room and Kitchen cupboards, so that we can get you out of here if need be, only you can get in, there's an age line around them, as well as another line to keep Death Eaters out, so you should be safe, and i will close them at the end of the battle." he said.
"Remember, everyone starts in the hall for the initial attack, we will hide until they turn their backs for the distraction, which will be caused by me, and reveal themselves ONLY once their backs are turned. Once the DEs have regained their feet, we will try to separate them with the two rooms idea, but if they don't bite, the kitchen group will draw them into the kitchen, then you can attack from the door and we'll have them surrounded, so it could possibly pull off, but remember, students, keep your options open, and Order... don't be afraid to jump out of a window and apparate, your safety is my main concern." he told them seriously, it was a frightening idea, but they could possibly lose. "If we don't win... if we lose the house... i don't quite know what we'll do, but keep your eyes and ears open, i will get to you ASAP." He told them. "Remember, Students, stick in groups, and always be with at least one Order member, same for the Order, always try and be in group, alone we pose little threat, but together... we could pull it off." He told them. "I believe that covers it all, and that we should get ready. I don't know when they'll be attacking, but it'll be soon," he told them.
