Dorian was coughing and gasping for air as he ran with the group inside of the castle. He had never ran this fast in his life , not even when he was late for classes. Which was nearly everyday. When he ran in to the entrance hall, the Ravenclaw let out a yelp when Professor Marchand send a fire ball flying towards the grounds. Had he seen one of the inferi coming closer?

His eyes were still wide open and he heard what the professor was telling them to do but his mind took a while to process it. When it did, his eyes suddenly filled with tears. They weren't rolling down his cheeks but they were definitely visible in his eyes. He wanted to hide so bad but the fact that the other students around him were willing to fight for their school. It did something to him.

He wanted to graduate from this school. He wanted to go to classes and do his homework and learn about so many branches of magic. And if the inferi attacked and he didn't help the others perhaps there would not be a school left for him to graduate from. Because if they lost, the school would probably close down.

"Professor" he said, his voice small and he hoped he was heard. "I'm not good at the fire spell" the one they had learned in Transfiguration. He was able to do it but only when he was concentrating long enough and if, no when the inferi came he would not have the time. "Is-is there another way i can help out?"
