most improbable scenes in any of the books)

Oh I dunno. . if you fly high enough on a moonless night you
might not call any attention to yourself.  As long as you stayed out
of major flight paths.

I agree, and I'm sure Moody had their route planned.  On top of that,
he had that disillusionment charm going, definitely on Harry, possibly
others had some form of it on either themselves or their brooms.

They were obviously flying very high for it to be so cold...
temperature drops about 10 degrees every thousand feet, give or take.

Carol again:
Lee, you're responding to the snipped post. The part about the Advance
Guard is just an aside. My concern is how the pureblood kids and their
parents get to Kings Cross with trunks and pets. I won't say any more
because it would just repeat previous posts, but I've noticed that
dutiful snipping (my own included) tends to cause main points to be
lost or obscured. I suppose we should really go up thread to find the
context of what we're responding to, but on a list like this one, who
has the time? At any rate, we all need to be careful to indicate that
a post has been snipped and that we're responding to a part, not the
whole.

Not complaining or blaming you, just noting that the OoP scene wasn't
my main concern.
