Hi!

I'm working this properly, aren't I? Sorry, it's just taken me a bit of practise to work out. Much easier to just send an owl, but I haven't seen any around. Anyway, I'm Cedric Diggory and I've only just arrived. I'll be working in the magical department, but that's not all I need to do. I've done some thinking, and our futures are rather uncertain, aren't they? We don't know if we'll go home again, or even if we'll live. But that means we have to live while we can, right? 'Seize the day', as they say?

So I thought we could possibly have some fun. Meet me down in the Sensoriums if you'd like to learn to fly on a broom. It's more comfortable than it looks, I promise. And if I'm understanding how these rooms work properly, you'll be safe. Anyone's welcome, don't be shy! We really ought to get to know each other. Maybe we could even fly in groups if you're comfortable. There are also sports that can be played in the air, but I'd save those for another lesson.

[ The more you knooooow~ ]

So, magic is a secret on your world?

[theboywhodied]

Yes. I needed some time to adjust to the situation here. This is the first time I've been able to talk about everything with whoever I'd like.

[bequiet_hescreamed]

I had no idea.

[ Contrary to his muted reaction, he's imagining what that would have been like - both living in a world like that, and the adjustment period once on the ship.

... Also, he's glad that no one has to know that he thought the whole idea of flying on broomsticks sounded absurd at first. ]

Anyway, I'd be glad to join you. I love flying, but there aren't any kind of independent vehicles for it on my world.

[theboywhodied]

It's all right. But if there aren't any independent vehicles, how do you fly?

[bequiet_hescreamed]

Generally on animals that are capable of flight, either real ones that have been tamed or magical constructs that can be summoned. There aren't very many people who have access to either, unfortunately.

I see. Well then, these should be somewhat easier to use. You're welcome to try it out!
