Qaz hurried out to the stadium eager to get in the air.

Nancy cheerfully walked out of the Spare Locker Room with her broom tightly clutched in her hands to wander down to the Quidditch Stadium. Wee! Finally they were going to fly! She stopped as soon as she'd reached her destination before turning around to see where the others, especially Mariel, were and especially when the professor was going to allow them to take off.

Cale walked out onto the pitch, broom in hand and practically bouncing with excitement. Today looked like a rather nice day for flying, and he had his new broom with him...yes, this lesson was going to be a success, he could feel it in his gut. He stood off to the side and polished the handle with his sleeve cuff as he waited for Vindictus to give them orders to fly.

Excited to be flying again, for a class and for fun. Not just quidditch, Liz runs out into the stadium, with her sturdy firebolt in her hand.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone take off and get some warm-up laps in!" Vindictus called out as he entered the stadium.

Bounding out onto the pitch, Terry fought hard to stand still in one place. His feet resumed bouncing about in excitement and he swiftly stood his broomstick to his side, waiting for their orders to soar into the sky.

......and there they came. Swinging a leg over the handle, left hand firmly wrapped around the shiny wood before his left, he kicked gently off the ground. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. He continued to hover above the ground for several moment then whizzed off higher into the air to warm up.

Vanessa walked out onto the pitch, carrying her broom in her right hand. She was looking forward to flying again. Standing by her fellow students the mdiget hufflepuff waited for furthur instructions.

After Professor Vindictus had given them the instructions, Vanessa moved a few steps away from the other students, and took off on her broom. She hovered in the air a little, to see how the wind was, before doing a few warm up laps.

She skipped out of the locker room toward the stadium with her broom tucked under harm still in its case. She hadn't been on a broom in a long time and this was going to fun. She stepped out into the stadium, and it took her breathe away. It was awesome and she would be playing there in a few weeks as the new Seeker for her house. She walked around taking in the prefect flying weather.

Thats all she needed to hear. She quickly pulled out her pale pink broom. She ran her hands over the initials on the handle as she let go of the broom. It hovered at the perfect height for her to mount it. She swung her leg over the broom and kicked off gently from the ground and took some time climbing to a nice cruising height.

Reese walked down to the stadium,holding her broom with her left hand.She noticed Cale polishing his broom with his sleeve and she smiled.For some reason,it always seemed Cale wanted every little thing to be perfect.Even his hair.She slighlty rolled her eyes and walked over to the side of the stadium.

She saw the Professor walk in and smiled when he said they could make a few laps.She put her goggles on and then got on her broom.It felt good to be back on a broom,again.She floated into the air and zoomed off.

Qaz mounted her broom and kicked off. She hadn't been in the air since Quidditch tryouts. She loved soaring through the air.

Cale grinned. Warm up time! He mounted his broom and slowly took off, remembering that this broom took off faster than his old one and he didn't need to go crashing into another tree today. He lifted himself off the ground and did a few laps around the pitch like Vindictus instructed them to do, flying at a nice steady pace as he admired the nice weather they were having today.

Mariel walked out onto the pitch still clutching her broom and stood next to Nancy. Her eyes darted around as the other students filed in and they landed on the professor, anxious to see when he'd give them the ok to get in the air. She glanced back at Nancy and gave her a small grin as she wondered what Vindictus had in store for the lesson and if she could possibly relate to Quidditch in anyway - other than the obvious flying part of course.

Finally he gave them the go-ahead and Mariel threw one leg over her broom and took off, climbing higher into the air.

Well, what are you waiting for? Haha, very funny. On the professor's permission to take off of course. Shaking her head slightly Nancy gave Mariel a grin before mounting her broom with a huge beam plastered across her face. After the third year had inhaled deeply once she pushed herself off the ground and immediately accelerated until she was high above the ground. It was just such an amazing feeling when the wind was swishing through her hair as Nancy started to fly around the Quidditch Stadium.

"We're going to practice some control on our broomsticks before we get to the fun part of the lesson," Vindictus called out as the students zoomed overhead. "When you hear my whistle I want you to stop on your broomstick and then take off in the opposite direction."

Maddox silently walked into class. Professor Vindictus had taken to many points from him in past classes for talking, and he didnt want to get more points taken from him this term. 5 was enough. He silently found a spot to sti and sat down waiting for class to begin.



Maddox grabbed his broom and waited for the professor to blow his whistle. He was exited to finally be back on a broom after a summer of nothingness.

FLYyyyyyinnnnng! With his sporty new goggles affixed firmly to his face, his blond curls sticking out even more oddly, and his grey green eyes magnified by the goggles, Tobi really did look like a flying insect as he mounted his broom and kicked off from the ground.

*zoooom!*

His new Silver Arrow was his pride and joy and he was almost used to it. As such he shot across the pitch once before getting proper control and doing the assigned warm up laps.

He dimly heard Professor V's instructions so he braced himself for the sound of the whistle, hoping he could turn fast enough.

As she leveled off, Mariel leaned forward to accelerate slightly as she caught sight of Nancy ahead of her. She leaned forward even more to go a bit faster, leaning to the side as well as she rounded the end of the pitch.

Mariel wondered momentarily if she'd be allowed to practice flying one-handed as that was a skill she'd need to catch quaffles. Well, she certainly wasn't going to do that without permission. She didn't need to lose the points she had just earned and would just die if her head of house yelled at her. The Ravenclaw girl decided to ask once she saw Vindictus in the air, although she was fairly certain he'd tell her that that was why the team held practices.

Catching up to Nancy, Mariel sat back slightly to fly alongside her for a bit until they were given specific instructions on what to do next.

Theo frowned as he flew in the air. He couldn't switch direction that quickly.

Nancy zoomed through the air with her beam still plastered across her face next to Mariel who seemed just as excited as herself as she suddenly heard Professor Vindictus' voice coming from below her. Immediately stopping her broom until she was only hovering in the air the third year nodded at the professor's instruction before taking off again, this time a little more slowly to be able to stop her broomstick as soon as the professor was going to blow his whistle.

TWEEEET! The shrill sound of the whistle pierced through the air and Vindictus chuckled at the reactions overhead.

Jenn zipped around, with everyone else, grinning and doing what the professor had told them to do, as she flew around the arena. She waved quickly as she passed Mariel, who was flying with someone, then flew again, just enjoying having the wind fly around her and make her long hair whip out behind her like a long dark cape. Then when she heard the whistle, she quickly turned and went the other way, her eyes wide because she had just about fallen off from the startle of hearing the whistle.

Theo tried to pull to a stop to switch direction. He must've pulled a little too hard, because his broom flicked upwards, and he was stuck dangling underneath it. He whimpered slightly unsure of how to get back up on his broom. He didn't know how long he could stay there.

And just a few seconds after Nancy'd accelerated again she heard Professor Vindictus blowing his whistle which meant only one thing: Stop and take off into the opposite direction. Which wasn't exactly as easy as it sounded. The third year immediately leaned back on her broom to decelerate until she'd almost come to a standstill before whirling her broomstick around to head off into the opposite direction. Well, almost opposite direction but whatever, she hadn't done too bad. She wasn't, for instance, dangling underneath her broom as her fellow teammate Theo currently was.

Kayla had been happily flying through the air at a leisurely pace when she heard the Professor's whistle and she immediately pulled up on her handle and swerved to the right doing a complete about face and headed back into the opposite direction.
