Barely. I do believe they understood that Aurora's been compromised, along with a great many others, and that Dolohov had threatened to come after them to get to her. But Rachel and Snape stunned them at the first hint that they wanted to gather up anything to take with them - quite right, too, that's the first thing MLE would have looked for! - so we just brought them away.
They went back to transfigure something - sheep, I think, there were some on the land - and make the place look as if they were forcibly taken. I think Snape mentioned the Dark Mark, even.
I just - every one of our adult members at Hogwarts. All at once. I suppose we're lucky the Juniors weren't found out, too.

Were you able to explain...much at all, before you took them to safety?
