Okay so she was out of the infernal cage finally. Thank the Heavens above! Dora actually took a moment to hug her friend, albeit a bit awkwardly given her current state. It was honestly such a relief that the Gryffindor let a few tears slip her eyes (which probably would like freeze to her face). Even though there were tears, the blonde girl knew she had to keep moving, though. Her best friend depended on her to finish this and get her to safety.
Even though Sam couldn't really speak at the moment she KNEW that the Ravenclaw would tell her something encouraging. Or yell at her (lovingly) to get it together and keep it moving.
So keep it moving she would!
But she was pretty sure that Sam wasn't going to be much in the way of help... getting her to safety. "Sam... I swear I got you. Come on... help me think. What can I do to help you?" And she didn't ACTUALLY expect her to respond. Quite the opposite. She was just thinking aloud and using Sam as something of a sounding board.
BOARD.
The thought struck her immediately!
Gripping her wand tightly, Dora conjured the first thing she thought of... a SLED! The kind that the kids often slipped and slid around on on the grounds. The kind with a string attached to help you pull it! It was perfect! "Come on! Get on, girl! I am getting us out of here," she said as she all but carried Sam toward the piece of wood on rails. Heh. If she wasn't afraid for her best friend's life she would totally hop on it with her and go for a ride. But for now she planned to totally pull the small Claw behind her.
Her rage was still fueling her. And her energy levels.
