Longbottom was at Draco's left, and Johns at his right, and the three of them sprinted in a mad dash towards the doors on the other side of the huge room, heads down, protego charms up, although whether they would hold against a concerted attack, Draco was doubtful – it was hard to keep a protego strong and solid when running like this. But they got to the door where all of the Order members seemed to be already, just outside in a defensive formation holding the doors, and Shacklebolt and Mr Weasley grabbed Draco and Longbottom and thrust them out into Diagon Alley by the scruffs of their necks, and slammed the doors shut.
