As you and your date wander towards the lake, you are surprised to see something that resembles a tunnel has been set up around the lake. Near the entrance to this mysterious tunnel seem to be boats, but not any old boats. These are swan boats. Your thoughts think back to old carnivals, where couples would go on a romantic tunnel ride on swan boats. This is a more modern, and wizarding form of that exact ride.

After waiting in the short queue you are shown into a boat. This isn’t any normal swan boat though. At first it seems as though the boat is a pedalo, but once in the boat you realise that it has been magically charmed. The boat chugs along slowly, into the mouth of the tunnel. Once inside the lights dim, casting a romantic glow upon the inside of the tunnel. There are hearts everywhere, and romantic music in playing.

The slow boat ride takes about 20 minutes in total, but you are generally unaware of the time scales, as really all your concerned about is your date, and the romantic nature of this little boat journey. So sit back, and enjoy the romantic swaying of the swan boats.
