Here's a little something that's been percolating in my head for a couple months, actually. It's just a chunk of dialogue which might eventually evolve into a scene. I don't actually have a place for this in the story yet, so don't hold your breaths waiting to see the proper context.
All you need to know right now, though, is that the song Doug is playing is Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train".

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard the 10:15 Hogwarts Express to King's Cross station, London. We will be be cruising at an altitude of approximately 100 feet at a speed of faster than you've ever gone in your young lives. We've got a good tailwind and one hell of a humongous Transfiguration going, and we expect to arrive at our destination at approximately 10:19, about four minutes from now. Please make sure all your seatbacks and tray tables are in their full upright and locked positions, and that all trunks are stowed in the overhead compartments. Thank you for flying Air Hogwarts and have a nice day."
