It was a blessing to be atop the large, winged creature floating through the clouds above the sky. Since the broomstick ban wizards could no longer fly as a mode of travel, there were other large, winged creatures, of course, but all except the thestrels were untameable and certainly could not be saddled or ridden like kestrels. Albus knew he was experiencing something no other wizard or witch could, and he enjoyed every second of it, letting the gust of air shake his bones and letting the awe-inspiring scenery gladden his heart.
