I just learned about the portkeys yesterday, I'm not sure yet whether I like them or not, back home we just had the bus, well, and the taxi, and my father's driver, but it was mostly the bus. I rather liked the bus.
I'm not entirely sure who's life I fell into, to be quite honest, but at least it seems to be about what I'm used to, so far. At least, so far as the living situation.
