Marlene laughed, because she loved his optimism, even when she knew better. "That's not an agenda. He was pulling on friendship and favours owed. You need to get multiple governments to agree, send the idea to the International Conference of Wizards and get it approved. All during a time of peace when we're really not deal with Dark wizards.

She shrugged. "Dumbledore is who he is. I've never managed to figure out what he wants the students to know and not to know. Even know that I'm an adult I can't figure it out."

"My family has had them for generations. Everyone rides. My grandmother will still go out at least one a week. She says it keeps the soul young."
