I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Well, that was crap. Sorry. Not totally useless, but I mean, I don't see how we're going to shake loose to really fly that line.

Thanks for the heads up, Malfoy. It came through before they were even in view, so we had a chance to switch over to trajectory drills before they came up behind us.

We did get in some good speed flying and some wizard slingshot drills. Was sorry you weren't along for that. Maybe you should go tomorrow, but that would just make Finnicky and Thomas more likely to tag along. (I figured they'd've had enough of me by now.) We're going to have to find a way to keep them from following tomorrow. Maybe a vertigo hex. Only that could sabotage the afternoon, too, and I'd rather not give you that kind of advantage, Harry!

See you in a few at the Apparition field.

The drills were fun, though. Even though I'm still sore all over from yesterday. The more I do it, the better I like ley flying. It's sort of like being on a set of rails, isn't it? I'm still not nearly as good on a broom as you are, though.

Did you see Blaise vom when he tried to Apparate?

He looked furious after.

Ron,

I say, I've been thinking about this morning's flight all day (well, in between our assaults on those houses, what!).

Perhaps what we need is for one or two of us to draw Finnigan and Thomas apart while the others go and investigate what's further up the line.

I'd gladly volunteer except I doubt my flying's enough to tempt them. Still, it might be worth suggesting some formation drills to give you lot a head start.

I can help if you'd like.

[alt_ron]

Cheers. That would be excellent if you can do it.

We'll try to be busy about something else and not hear you getting up the drill. I'll pretend I'm having broom trouble or something and get our few to have a look. That should give you a chance to pull them away, yeah?

[alt_ron]

Perfect.

Thanks, Pans.

And. You were brilliant yesterday, y'know? With that pair of enforcer blokes. When they were trying to climb back into the house through the cellar hatch.

Nice catch.

Yeah.

It would probably make everyone cheerier if he can just bloody get it today! Everyone's miserable when Zabini's miserable, yeah?
