The travel plans had all been arranged in advance. After some debate, Dominic had decided that the easiest thing would be for him to drive the car down on Monday night, stay somewhere nearby and then have the others apparate to meet him on Tuesday. He'd picked a nice hotel for himself and taken advantage of the gym, the nice shower and the included breakfast before driving to the agreed meeting place. All he had to do now was wait for Charlie and Genie to arrive.

Despite the somewhat awkward revelation that Charlie wasn't remotely interest in sex (with Dominic or otherwise), Dominic was still looking forward to the day. He hadn't managed to squeeze in a holiday yet - it would now have to wait until after Dean's birthday at the earliest - and taking a day to do something outside his routine was almost as good. Dominic liked his job, but that didn't mean he didn't want a break sometimes. Today was going to be exactly that. No magic, just driving and conversation and maybe some photographs.

Dominic laughed. "The two Gryffindors are telling the Ravenclaw not to be reckless," he remarked, amused. "Pretty sure Rowena and Godric are spinning in their graves. But I wasn't seriously considering fucking with dragons, it's just nice to dream..." He shrugged. "The problem with preferring practical learning to books is that it means you can't study all the areas you want to. There's not enough time and not enough money."

They pulled in to the car park of Longleat and Dominic slower. "Right, we've got two choices, I think. Grab a casette and go round on our own in my car or else get out and join a coach which will have a guide. There's advantages to both. In my car, we can talk about magic, and slow down at the interesting bits as long as we're not holding people up. But the guide will have more knowledge than us, and he'll be able to point out specific real time things that the casette can't."

Charlie decided not to point out that his own recklessness had got him burn scars and contributed to him losing a leg. He didn't want to be depressing. "Oh, I'm not saying abandon recklessness completely. Just know what you're dealing with. I'm all for haring off on weird adventures." He screwed up his face in understanding about lack of money being an issue for both of them. "Yeah. I got really fucking lucky with my job. I wouldn't have had most of the opportunities I did without being paid to have them."

He hummed in agreement. He'd seen a few muggles with prosthetics of one kind or another over the years but it was a pretty rare thing. "I don't mind the curiosity. I just have to remember to tell them something they'll understand if I get asked. The answer is a very vicious flesh-eating bug, er bacteria, apparently," he added. "Healers suggested it."

Turning to look at Genie he raised his eyebrows at her. "What do you think? Either sounds good to me, but I sometimes fuck up and talk about things Muggles couldn't explain. Especially when it comes to animals." He had a good track record generally speaking, and a fair few muggle friends at one point or another, but animals were a bit of a downfall.

"Oh, sweetie, I'm still all for jumping off cliffs and such. I'm just wary of things that bite more than a little." Dogs, wolves, even other weres dind't fuss her. Dragons? Dragons could take her in half or more.

"As fun as listening to someone might be, we might be safer to go alone," Genie said after Charlie encouraged her to speak with his eyebrows. "Especially since we're already comparing creatures." She grinned. "I'd rather not get in trouble for breaking the Statute, today at least."
