I think it was just sheer rotten dumb luck. I simply lost my hold on it at the last second.
See, it was really small, probably because it was meant to be used by just one person, and they wanted me to be able to hide it safely until I needed it. But anyway, I've never used one of those things before. Do they always give you that sort of jerking sensation when they're activated? Anyway, that's what happened. It jerked itself right out of my hand. And then it was too late.
Dunno if there was any spell on me that the git did that means I can't use one. Sally-Anne, do you know of any spell like that? Could be. I mean, I don't know what all the binding spells he's put on me are supposed to do.
Don't think it'd do any good if I could figure out how to make a portkey now. Because I think that's another spell that he did with the gorgon. One that means that portkeys won't work at all anymore here.
