Sharon again:
But Ron and Harry apparate separately to Shell Cottage from the Malfoy Manor, 
and Ron apparates a few times trying to come back after he walked out on Harry 
and Hermione. It's such a minor detail, but it's one of those niggly things I just 
wonder about.  What happens if you apparate without a license (Think I spelt it 
right this time. LOL)
