Oh, you're a dear! It will only be a matter of a couple of hours at most (more likely less), but it would make a great difference.
Private to Dean: I have a 5th year boy, sweet as the day is long. Lives with his great-grandmother in Porthmadog, Wales, so it would be Apparation to get there (or Portkey, if you'd rather), Portkey to Holyhead and then Floo to London.
