“Why not just take brooms?”
“We are not flying from Melbourne to Tasmania on brooms, Ron.”
“Why can’t we just Apparate then? It’s not like we’re crossing any national borders. It’s all one country!”
“Have you looked at a map?”
“Of course I have!”
“Of Australia, Ron.”
“I saw Tasmania on the map. It’s that tiny bit down the bottom.”
“It looks small because of the relative size of the rest of the continent.”
“Don’t get shirty with me, Hermione. You asked me to arrange the Portkeys. I did.”
“I can’t believe you just assumed that Melbourne was ‘close enough’!”
