"Ron quite liked the idea of using the Summoning Charm again - Harry 
had explained about Aqua-Lungs, and Ron couldn't see why Harry 
shouldn't Summon one from the nearest Muggle town. Hermione squashed 
this plan by pointing out that, in the unlikely event that Harry 
managed to learn how to operate an Aqua-Lung within the set limit of 
an hour, he was sure to be disqualified for breaking the 
International Code of Wizarding Secrecy - it was too much to hope 
that no Muggles would spot an Aqua-Lung zooming across the  
countryside to Hogwarts." (Goblet of Fire, p418).
