Snape glared at one of the men and said, “You’re the older Turnpuddle, aren’t you?”  When he nodded, Snape said to Harry, “Left before your time.  The only good thing is there’s only one of him.”

Harry sighed and said, “Let’s apparate out.  These two can sidealong with us.”

“Um,” the non-Turnpuddle said.

“The former companions of these two imbeciles have left trackers on them,” Snape explained.  “If we apparate they, and we, will be followed, which would not be a good idea.  Plus, the ash from the fire will no doubt activate any wards around places we try to apparate into, leaving us outside our place of safety and at the mercy of some rather unpleasant people.”

“So what do you suggest?” Harry asked.

“We revert to our previous plan and start walking.  They may still be tracked, but no-one will be concerned just because they’ve left the field.  And the ash will blow away in time.  So all we need to know is where we are now.”

“Ah,” said Harry.

“You mean you don’t know?”

“It was going to be an adventure.  Floo in, have a few days break, floo out.”

“Salazar!  Two complete imbeciles and one semi-qualified one.  There’s a lane over there.  I suggest we follow it, since it must eventually lead somewhere.”

Snape stomped off towards the lane, with the other three trailing after him.
