Patroclus could see himself slipping and sliding within the tub, having not control over his or the tubs movements, "and if you were short, vision would be an issue too!"

Perhaps booster seats?

"It would be boring." Simple as that. "Not to mention difficult. How can you even steer a bathtub?" Thinking it over though, she tried to imagine what quidditch would be like if they all flew bathtubs. Hehe and what an image THAT was. Of course, she totally was going to draw that later on when she was in the Slytherin common room. Just hopefully that French girl wasn't there invading the room. Meh. "And you'd look rather ridiculous. What with all the bugs that would have hit the bathtub when you fly around, and you being all bent down in the tub to get away from the bugs, and the fact that...it's a bathtub only enhances ones' inability to control their laughter when they see such a funny sight."

Which, she would surely be laughing at whoever decides to try to fly a bathtub. Perhaps even carry around a camera? Hehe.

"Not to mention it might be wet...and the metal tubes...those things would keep leaking water...." Yeah, that'd be totally uncomfortable. "Besides...it'd require a lot of magic to make it fly, go up..." Not like a flying carpet...because it could be spread, and maybe three or more people would fit on it.

" wait! are we flying in a bathtub today?" cause why else would professor V be asking this

"No, Jacob. We're not flying bathtubs today," chuckeld Vindictus.

The bathtub filled with water and soap suds, with a little rubber ducky and a man with a shower cap. Before he could stop himself he was laughing hard and rolled backwards onto his back as he kept laughing. It was a hilarious sight.

Gathering himself he cleared his throat and shrugged, "It'd be awkward. Couldn't really see much. And the soap suds would go everywhere, people would think it was raining or snowing, suds would look like snow wouldn't they...," he said bursting out in laughter again so hard his sides were hurting now.

"I personally feel that flying in a tub might be more safe than a broom. If you're sitting in it you are surrounded by walls, which gives you less of a chance of falling out...unless of course it flips, but if you can control it then you are okay. Plus if you are being attacked you could always duck down and use the sides as shields from spells." Alice contemplated flying around in a tub. Yes, that would be much better.

Like, do you tip it over to one side or are there buttons or something that you have to add? Fourth, are there airbags in it? For when you crash into a tree or dog."

A broom might not be as visible or obviously magical... but a giant ole bathtub would stick out like sore thumb. Plus think of the impossible steering. And what if you got stuck?"

Though if they did decide to start flying bathtubs, Fletcher would be much more comfortable and could sink down and hide in the tub.

"Well I would think they wouldn't be as aerodynamic as brooms." No where near, actually. Seriously, who wanted to see a game of quidditch played with flying bathtubs...well now actually that sounded quite fun.

"It seems like it would be hard to fly a bathtub. I mean... to turn it and tilt it. Brooms are much easier to control. Not to mention they're thinner. Bathtubs probably couldn't go nearly as fast as brooms can." Ellie said.

"Good thoughts, all of you so I guess two points each should suffice," he replied and he pulled out his wand. With a simple swish and flick, the broom rack vanished. A few more flicks and jabs, and a line of rag mops marched out from the castle.

Light glistened on their bottoms as they came to a halt and hovered in mid-air.

DRIP.

DRIP.

Beneath each mop, droplets fell to the grass. These weren't just rag mops, they were WET RAG MOPS.

"Everyone - grab a mop and get in line! Make sure you're holding the mop in your left hand!" Vindictus ordered and he clapped his hands gleefully.
