You know this is dangerous" he told her softly "You have to be prepared to lose one of us, it will probably happen" he warned her "It might not be any of us in this room, but it will be one of us who goes, I know, I can feel it, It's inevitable, Either way, I am saying my goodbyes before we go, just in case" Jack told her.
"Go, get Mei Lin, take her to my dad's house" Jack urged her "You want me to fight the Professor? If that's what it takes I'll do it. But I can't promise to just leave you and run. Not if there is a chance that..." She trailed off. "No, no goodbyes. And I sincerely hope that you're wrong." Sakura's eyes flickered to the floo and looking at Dumont she hoped he wouldn't mind that she hadn't asked if it was okay to use his floo powder before taking a handful of it and flooing into her sister's apartment.
A few minutes later she came back and with an apologetic smile at Dumont she ungracefully sank to the floor.
