My determined steps were directed towards the arch. It had to be turned off at all costs. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the adults holding my fellow students, wands pointed at their throats. Harry was near the arch, dangerously too close. He was holding onto one of the orbs. Not too far from him was Lord Lucius Malfoy and Madam Bellatrix Lestrange née Black. I continued towards the archway as all eyes settled on me. "I can’t believe this is still open." As I got closer, my skin started to itch more. Wanting to be free in such close proximity of death. I needed to keep that a secret, for now. Forcing myself some control, I arrived at one of the pillars. My sight came to life as I saw the enchanted mechanism that controlled the portal. I pressed the Gaelic rune, close, to start the process. While I was pressing the sequence to turn off the portal, I saw Daphne staring at me. Ignoring the look she was giving me, I turned the magical knob that showed up after entering the sequence clockwise. The sound of the portal powering down filled the room.
