 Alex peaked his head into the building that Luna's comm-ring was pinging from. He tentatively stepped in, holding his laptop. He had kept his promise. As soon as he knew that he would not be needed for anything more he found where Luna was the same way he found Shiva and rushed to be with her.

He ventured, "Luna?"  He put his laptop down on a table as he passed it, looking around. Alice too seemed to be peering around, looking for the whimsical girl.

"Oh, yes. Wizards have flown since the 900s, but always on broomsticks or carpets. Carpets have been banned in Britain, though--they're hazardous to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, because it's quite hard to make them invisible."

She has to think for a moment, eyes drifting ceilingward.

"Well, I suppose they regulate speed and aerodynamics, to keep players from flying too quickly, and there are all kinds of spells and charms put on to protect against tampering and shattering, though that didn't stop Harry's broom from shattering that one time, though I suppose not many things could survive hitting the Whomping Willow. I don't really know the half of it, though--I commentated a few school games of Quidditch, but I'm terrible at broomstick flying. I prefer thestrals."

Alex continues to look at her completely shocked and lost. Quidditch, broomstick flying, magic carpets, a Whomping Willow? Thestrals? Wizarding Secrecy?

He was stunned into silence for several minutes, wondering if Luna would explain anything more.
