I wouldn't have had much choice about going with him, really. We were on a boat and he'd made sure we didn't have anything with us like brooms or a flying carpet. We didn't even have our diaries, probably because he was afraid I might write from the boat and let MLE know what he was up to.

I wouldn't have, though. I mean I wouldn't have tried to stop him from taking us out, and I wouldn't have tried to leave him, if I'd had a broom, so I guess the real answer to your question is yes. I don't know if I'd have been happy about it. Maybe eventually. I don't really know what France is like.
