"Oh good, because I was already feeling superior," he said, laughing. "'Although I'm not sure we can finish with Britain and Ireland. These -1 countries are Greenland, Ittoqqortoormiit, and three more that are on the way to the North Pole. From the list, there aren't that many children, but still, we can't skip them. It'll be alright though," he said in a softer tone. "We can do a fly by to see if Diagon Alley is there." Unlikely, but he would never forgive himself if he didn't try.
"I would agree. I can't imagine something worse. I've always loved Christmas. Mother was always in such a great mood, showing off all sorts of magic and Father would do anything to make her happy. I can't remember a sad Christmas at the manor until the Dark Lord decided that he would move into our home. I hated that Christmas." He nodded. "It is rather amazing, although I'm sure we'll get some strange answer that means everything and nothing. The sort of answer I'd expect from Dumbledore if he were still alive."
He snorted. "Well, Mother always did say that he was better suited to the life of a dog. It was not a compliment." He was still curious though. "Is surreal good or bad? I mean, I can't even imagine what it would be like, but then I don't have fond memories of my last year there. The Cruciatus was thrown around more than a summoning spell."
