The boys ran through the corridors, pushing their way past the flustered and terrified students moving in the opposite direction. More than once, Draco could be heard muttering a quick apology for Theo as he knocked someone into a wall as the two of them moved away from the Great Hall where the students were to be assembled. "Theo, stop, will you please listen for a moment! Don’t you think that she’ll be making her way to the Great Hall, just like everyone else?" Draco panted and clutched at his side as they raced up, yet another staircase filled with students running downward.
