That's true. You could probably check laer, most of us are very relaxed with our compartments. Perhaps I might even be able to sneak you into the Prefects carriage, my compartment is on the other side after all. And flying by plane seems exciting. Do they really serve food, and show movies? Broomsticks are okay, but it can often be uncomfortable, and it is usually quite windy, so I wouldn't consider them a method of travel for long trips. Apparation and Portkeys can be much faster, and the discomfort isn't as long. And many use Floo these days.

Do you know what you did try? [thinking... Dave... and these shades. Peering at] May I ask if you're a Strider then? You share some familiarities with both Professor Strider and David, and you have the shades.
