Pulling up at the last minute was Cutty Mordaunt, who quickly surveyed the scene. The assemblage of Hogwarts staff and students were breaking off, naturally separating into groups of three and he wouldn't have been the son of a portkey assistant if he didn't know how to recognize one by their throw-away appearance and the cautious way in which they were treated. Cutty made his way for the one nearest him, and touched a finger to the raggedy blanket then was towed away by the magic along with everyone else in the group.

He hoped to Merlin in Avalon that he'd not be obligated to stay with the group once they anchored.
