Another DH question

[zanooda2]

Another one of those silly questions: in the sentence "... he wrenched his mind back to his own body, fighting to remain present as the prisoners were pushed over gravel" I'm a little confused about the "over gravel" part :-). Does it mean that they were pushed forward to follow the gravel-covered driveway, or were they pushed down so that they fell onto that gravel? People translate it very differently, and I don't know what to say :-). It's on p.456 or p.369, "Malfoy Manor". I would really appreciate it if someone could explain...
