Wand at the ready (just in case Fate was in the mood to mess with her today), Ashley braced herself and stepped through the portal. It felt nothing like apparating or using a portkey. It was literally just walking through a doorway, except it was a portal that led to a different part of Scotland. Unfortunately, the bit of magic Ashley had given to the arch ran out the moment she was completely on the other side. Her luck was just the worst sometimes. Really, she should have expected it. She also should have expected the sudden attack.
