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.

Whatever happened to flying carpets? Those sound way comfier.

Yeah yeah, rub it in. I might come watch.

We used to use flying carpets, actually, but they're outlawed by the Ministry of Magic these days. They were sold to Muggles more frequently than brooms and caused too much trouble.

I'm sorry. But you could fly today if you wanted to! I can't fly outside the Sensoriums either, as I no longer have a broom.

Holy cow, you guys have a whole ministry? I mean, not the religious sort, right?

Stacy didn't keep yours when you got here? That sucks, man.

[theboywhodied]

No, it's a magical government. The main purpose is to keep order in the wizarding world, since we're apart from any Muggle institutions that might otherwise help us.

If she did, I haven't found it. I might search again later on, as I've heard other people have their vehicles.

Yeah, I can't see 'I didn't steal the money, I teleported it!' working in normal person courts.

Yeah, my friend got his bike. I just got a handful of money, though, which is pretty useless here.
