I spoke to Peter Pevensie the other day about flying, which of course led to brooms and

Of course?

I shouldn't be surprised.

Do you ever use things other than brooms--not so much for Quidditch, as flight in general?

[7thborn]

A lot of countries in the Middle East still use flying carpets, though those're banned in Britain. You can't fly them and it's certainly against the law to charm any non-flying carpets.

My Dad works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department at the Ministry of Magic so he was involved in the passing of that legislation.

[oshutup]

Have you flown on a carpet before---prior to the law coming into it, obviously? And what happens if you attempt to charm a carpet disinclined to become airborne?

[7thborn]

I haven't ridden on a carpet, no. I mean, I can see the advantages to it-you can seat more people on it, obviously-but as for the consequences of breaking the ban? I've no idea.

[oshutup]

Yes, well, I hope you gather enough people for your match, in any case.

[7thborn]

You said you wanted to learn, didn't you?

[oshutup]

I did, and I still do.

[7thborn]

I can teach you basic flying on my broom first, if you'd like.

[oshutup]

One step at a time does seem the way to go about it---the flying first that is, and then the game's basics, of which flying would be a primary.

When is a good time for you?

[7thborn]

It's not like I'm doing anything around here, really. Any uncursed morning would be ideal.

[oshutup]

Perhaps tomorrow then---City's amenability providing, if ever it is.

[7thborn]

Brilliant. Xanadu?

[oshutup]

What hour suits you?

[7thborn]

Nine o'clock?

[oshutup]

Nine o'clock it is.

[7thborn]

You've at least flown on something, haven't you?
