Where are Harry and Weasley? They should be here for this briefing. Unless...

Draco looks like something the cat sicked up this morning. And did you see how his broom was listing off-centre?

At least our side's only got one of them to carry along.

But really, if Harry's ill, we could promote a lieutenant to commander and not let ourselves be dragged down. I mean, listen between the lines of what they're saying: this is going to be loads more challenging than anything we've done yet.

Ahead of you there. I managed it last night. It's easier in the dark, did you know? I mean, I suppose it stands to reason that you aren't distracted by seeing peripheral things or concentrating too much on the ring you're meant to be materialising in.

Whatever. I've got it.

It really is... well, once you've done it, you can't imagine what the difficulty was, can you?

Oh, good! I should have known you'd do better when no one was watching.
