zanooda:

Yeah, but I should have said here that a person needs to be inside 
the area protected by the spells, not inside the tent itself :-). 
Hermione usually cast the spells first around some perimeter, and 
only after that the Trio (or the Duo) erected the tent.

I thought anti-apparition spell only protects the house from an 
outside apparition, not from room-to-room apparition. In OotP, Fred 
and George annoyed Hermione at 12 GP by apparating all the time, 
although *that* house was certainly protected by anti-apparition 
spells.

LOL! They like flying :-)? They are bad at apparating :-)?
