The Knight Bus. Emergency Transport for the stranded witch or wizard. An of course, the two conductors, Stan Shunpike and Ernie, who are practically walking cliches. Now, I know that the magical population in England is quite probably lower than 10,000 people, but even so, one would think that there would be more than one bus operable. So it would be refreshing if all of you fanfiction authors would use conductors other than those two. Not that I hate them, but surely the Knight Bus Company (Company, Charity Org, or Ministry?) would run more than one bus, and have more than those two conductors. Actually, even if there is only one bus, seeing as how an emergency bus needs to be always on call, it would be impossible for Stan and Erni to always be on the job.

So think up a good name, like, well, Nefar. And make sure to make a comment on my good looks.

 

Agatha Shunpike, conductor, ticket taker, and owner of the Knight Bus... also the one responsible for giving Stan the job in the first place. Jonas Prewitt, conductor, driver, Squib. cousin of Molly Prewitt Weasley.

 

True. Though in the Japanese translations (the lady who does it is horrible), the Knight Bus is: The Knightly Night Bus.

So much lulz.

 

I recall reading a story where Cornelius Fudge was the director of the Knight Bus, and I'm not positive, but I think he blew Harry's cover.

What I am interested to see is, since Shunpike is apparently in Azkaban, what poor sod will be driving the Knight Bus (that is, if it appears at all) in Deathly Hallows.

 

Shunpike didn't drive it he was the conductor. Ernie was the driver.
