But isn't tampering with muggle objects like that illegal as well?" Or was he just missing something...could be...he was still feeling kinda weird.

"Well for one, a broom is way more easier to lug around than a bathtub is." she said, raising her hand once more before leaning back again on the grass. "And you wouldn't get any funny glances either, but it's more the fact that brooms are easier to conceal from the muggles."

It could also do with the fact that brooms were way more wind resistant then a bathtub or...recliner. Besides, that ravenclaw dude was right. Aren't flying carpets illegal? Unless there was some new law she missed, then she totally wanted one!!

Cuz thats what I wanna know too.... he blinked as he tried to think whey they even get on flying sticks in general...."Because... broomsticks are relatively easy to retrieve and put away-- i mean you dont need a garage to store a single broom right? They're also portable that it can be brought anywhere, and..... they're flexible enough for quick maneuvering during high speed flight." Right, like he could've used a bit of that flexibility when he was in the air.

Patroclus thought they still used Magic Carpets in the wizarding communities of the Arab nations, but he could not be sure

Raising her hand for the next answer, she said "Well...as for flying carpets, they are banned...because they can be seen by muggles...not to mention they're a bit uncomfortable to move around." Yeah, like where could you keep a flying carpet if you needed to travel every once in a while?


"And I think it goes for bathtubs too. The whole security, the secret way we live in front of the Muggles' eyes." She mentioned, just guessing though.

If you use a bathtub or a recliner, there's no way to really steer it! Plus flying carpets are illegal." She added this last part as an agreement with Miles or Tiles or whatever his name was. "Plus, wouldn't a bathtub be uncomfortable to fly in? I mean really, think about it. It's all metal and cold and stuff. A broom is much more comfy."
