Octavius Pepper and his Muggle wife, Catherine Pepper arrive back from a trip to the USA. Owing to a strange accident with a special timeturner, Octavius has spent over 20 years in America, and thus returns home 20 years older than he set out. During the time he is avoiding himself to stop a paradox, Octavius has set up his own flying car business under the name of Monty Pepper, (Monty being his middle name). He breaks the news to the wider family.

Octavius Pepper offers to take a look at a Muggle classic car owned by Edwin Glass in Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire. The car has been playing up.

At the annual Hogwarts Career Fair, Monty Pepper sets up a stall under the guise of his more respectable profession of portrait painting. However inside his magically-enlarged tent is one of his flying cars which he is readily allowing students, staff and anyone else who wanders in, to sit in and take a look at, claiming it's only got a levitation spell on it.

Monty shows the younger generation some of his vehicles to avoid family arguments.
On the Feast of Stephen

They all squeezed down the hallway past the front door and through the door into the garage. The inside of the garage had been magically enlarged - at least you would realise that for sure if you'd ever stood outside the house. Inside were two cars, and something under a tarpaulin that was definitely not a car but something smaller. One was the car that his uncle had brought to Hogwarts which had enough room to take a whole family. The other was a smaller, sportier number in brilliant metallic red, the top down and Blue Silver emblazoned on the back in beautiful handpainted letters.Ambrose Pepper

Monty shows family friend and reporter, Josie Flint, all about his cars.
And the Open Air

“About 4,000 feet in the air, and on the ground about ninety without charm, in the air, full throttle, a hundred and twenty, but not recommended. The scenery’s a blur and your reactions have to be quicker. If you want speed, it’s a different model, there’s a team back in America working on one that’ll break records in the air races…” Monty explained, suddenly feeling incredibly homesick for America.Monty Pepper

Monty discovers alpacas suffer airsickness while transporting Juni Zamperia's birthday present for Ambrose Pepper.
An Alpackage

Unfortunately it turned out they could get a bit airsick. Ambrose had neglected to talk too much about the logistics of moving an animal about. Apparently one couldn't go in the floo, Catherine's younger sister from Magical Transport, Helena, had informed her non-magical sister of such restrictions to the fireplace. Portkeys were a bit tricky too. Apparating with an animal wouldn't guarantee all of it arrived. After a good drink and plenty of scourgify in the back of the roomiest vehicle Monty had, the alpaca was feeling a bit better and was grazing greedily on the end of a rope on the Hogsmeade village green.Monty Pepper
