Stepping through the portal, Sirius was a bit startled by how smooth the journey had been this time. Last time he traversed through a portal opened by Ray, not only did he get a headache but the bout of vertigo that hit him afterwards was none the better. However, Sirius failed to consider a few things this time.
The last time Ray had opened up the portal, he was relatively tense and hurried due to various factor and not to mention that last time he had tried to cover a long distance and that too using a very crude method of teleportation.
However, this time not only were the circumstances different but also that he had gained a better mastery over the space element while the distance this time was also quite short compare to before.
Appearing on the other side, a dagger flashed in front of him, startling Sirius for a moment before he just shook his head and side stepped. For him, the dagger was moving in slow motion and relatively harmless to him.
