From the latest chapter of Harry the Hufflepuff: (As linked in the update thread)
I haven't been able to stop cackling randomly every five minutes or so since I read this. Hope it wears off soon.
Quote:"Third time's the charm," thought Harry as he climbed aboard version three of his flying carpet.
This time he was using the mat from the bathroom in his dorm, since the occupants of the tapestries had learned from his previous endeavours and tended to go running and screaming whenever he got too close to them. They usually went running straight to a professor, too, damn dobbers.
Flit already had a long talk with Harry about the legalities of charming carpets to fly, as well as the spells he had devised for doing so, but Harry had pointed out he wasn't actually flying, just hovering, and he had yet to use an actual carpet.
The Professor was not moved.
Still, Harry felt he couldn't let little things like the law or house points get in the way of progress, so here he was again.
"Go," said Harry.
Immediately the mat jerked forward, but he was expecting that and made sure to hold on tight.
"Stop," he said, and the mat did, sliding to a halt in only a couple of feet.
"Wicked," he said excitedly.
And the mat obeyed as best it could.
