"Hello sir!" Charlotte greeted the groundskeeper cheerfully as she came to a stop in front of him. She was inclined to be eager for this class and his teaching just because he'd been so nice about letting her have her snails (R.I.P to most of them), and particularly her achatina achatina at Hogwarts.

Ooooh hey, maybe she should've brought him along!

"Well hello there Miss Kettleburn." Brightly greeting his first arrival.

There was nothing at all wrong with brushing up on her flying and bettering herself at it.

"Hello Sir, hello Charlotte" Hady greeted Mr. McLeod and the only other person there with a warm smile as she made her way onto pitch. Her long hair was tied back neatly off her face and in her hand was her broom. Now all she needed was to see what they would be doing today.

"Hello Miss Lynch." This Head Girl was prepared, good good.

In fact, the last time she had been on a broom had been with Cassius while he was still at Hogwarts and that had only ended in tears for fifth year Paige Skeeter. Quidditch terrified her and the one professional match she had been to she had had her face buried in Noel's shoulder for most of it.

So...why was she even here?

Because she had made a promise to herself that she would not turn down any opportunity this term - even if it meant facing her fear of heights head on.

Or...well...maybe she could just glide along the ground? As long as her shoes were able to graze the grass she could be alright...

"Good day, Mr. McLeod," the seventh year squeaked in greeting before offering Hadleigh and Charlotte nervous smiles.

Yeah...she seemed to be the only one shaking like a flutterby bush around these parts.

"Why yes it is, Miss Skeeter." Returning with his usual bright smile. His brows did quirk up a bit at the lack of broom in her hands. Hmm... better not embarrass her. Justin could hear some nerves in her tone. Or perhaps that was of excitement?

He had been for Vince to teach her and ended up helping her become friends with Alex as much as it was to bring Vince and her closer as best friends. So she didn't mind flying, but she just would rather be on a winged horse instead of a broom.

Though getting better and better at flying was a way of having something in common with her pro quidditch father, so here she was giving the flying lesson a shot. Possibly one shot, because if it didn't work out then she could use the time to be working in the music room or even down at the stables.

"Hello Sir, how are you today?" She always made sure to be polite to her head of house, he could really make her life difficult if she wasn't so yes she would be nice and smile.

"Hello Miss Franks-Mundie. I'm doing wonderful as you are too I bet." And if not well, she will be after today.

And it was just nice to have a lesson she didn't have to study or do homework for. No stress!

"Hi, Mr. McLeod!" She greeted him with a smile. The others who were there got a smile too - Char, Hady, Nat, and Paige...who was looking less than happy to be here. Was she okay? She was shaking like a leaf.

Rula decided to stand next to her as she waited for class to start. She didn't really know the Hufflepuff all that well, outside of seeing her in lessons and knowing that she was Eureka's dormmate, but that didn't mean she couldn't help! Only if Paige looked like she really needed it though. Rula wouldn't force it or anything. For now, she was just offering moral support.

"Miss Botros, hello there!"

It was really close to the Pitch...it was sad that it hadn't been used for a game in so long. She really loved Quidditch.

Professo. Bwahaha, he loved it. "Well hello, Miss Darcy!"

Welp, he was glad to see enough make their presence to start off at last with a few claps. "Alright everyone, gather round." Waiting for everyone's attention before continuing. "Now I know for some of you this will be a first experience in a long time, possibly ever on a broom. And the rest of you might wonder what else can you really learn that you don't know already? Well, I'll tell you." No dramatic pause this time.

"Today will be all about remaining balance and keeping your head on.. Literally with today's activity. But as with any sport before you can dive right into playing we'll be starting off with somes stretches to wake up our bodies." The Groundskeeper then took a moment to eye everyone over again, "Now I see some have neglected to have their brooms, with them. Well, that's okay. You can use the exercise to run right over to the shed over there for one and back here. The rest of you all. Let's get to stretching!" Right before the Flying Instructor raised one of his arms to hold and and stretch to loosen for any nicks.

OOC: If your character didn't bring a broom they can post once running over to the shed and back. A post in the broomshed thread isn't necessary. Everyone else can do one post stretching. Next post will be tomorrow. =)
