"Welcome to Flying! Please have a seat on the grass in front of me," he said cheerfully and he noticed a few students actually arrived with brooms.
"
Morning Professor" Raven greet, Raven place himself in the ground, he has no broom, the the professor may provide for him.

He paused and pointed to the broom rack.
Then he pointed to a white line that appeared on the grass. "Once you have a broom, please walk over to the white line and stand there with the broom in your hand."
Raven stood up, walk toward the broom rack, get a ancient looking broom, so many dust. And he fall behind the white line, the professor has conjured. "
Time for flying" he murmured

"When commanding your broom, you must use a firm voice - the command will not work properly if you're scared or doubtful."
"Open your right hand and place it over the broom. In a firm voice, say the command 'Up!' and the broom should rise up and hit your open palm. As soon as the broom handle hits your palm, grasp it or else the broom will float back down to the ground."
"Everyone - give it a go!"
Raven do what professor say, "
UP" nothing happen, once more "
UP" the broom move but didn't up yet, another one "
UP" firm and commanding power the voice, the broom is up enough to ride the broom, waist level, Raven grab it immediately.

"Before we get to fly in the air, let's discuss how to maneuver the broom in the air." He ran over to the broom rack and selected a broom for his own use, then ran back to his position in front of the class.
His motions were exceedingly quick and in a blink of an eye, he was hovering on the broom with his feet resting comfortably on the metal stirrups located on either side of the tail twigs.
"To make your broom move forward, lean over the broom and keep the handle horizontal to the ground. Now watch." He slightly leaned forward over the broom handle and kept it level over the ground. Slowly (and deliberately) he flew back and forth in front of the class. He was no higher than five feet off the ground.
"Now I'm slowing the broom down by sitting upright and pulling the handle slightly towards me," he said as he came to a gradual stop, hovering in the air.
"Now all of you will try this. Gently pick your feet up off the ground and stretch them backwards until the soles of your shoes touch the metal stirrups located on either side of the tail twigs," Vindictus instructed the class. "Then lean forward over the broom like I demonstrated. I want you to fly forward about twenty feet and then return to where you started."
He saw that several of the students were nervous and smiled. "No one will be flying fast or high in the sky... yet. Everyone - give it a go!"
Raven grin,
this was easy, flying with broom, just follow the instruction, and I'd be safe" Raven says.
Raven pick gently to ground, he is now mounted to the broom, c
ome on broom fly, the broom up maybe 18 feet , the professor say twenty before going down but, Raven decided to get back. he feel something he didn't understand in the midair, Going down to the ground is more hard than take off. but yes, Raven do it safely, with a slight unbalanced in landing.

"Very good! Now place your feet firmly on the ground and listen carefully," Vindictus began. "To make your broom go faster, lean closer to the handle. Steering your broom is easy and many of you did it without being told how to do it - all you do is nudge the handle in the direction you want to go. Up, down, left, right."
"Landing, however, is a little more tricky because you won't come to a hovering stop like you just did. As soon as the ground is near, stick your feet out so that you have control once you touch the earth. It's common to see fliers jogging a few feet after landing."
Yes, some of the students were nervous. Thank Merlin he used a height limit charm to keep the students from flight too high, and a cushioning charm (different than the one found on brooms) on the pitch to soften any fall.
"I want everyone to have fun flying today - some of you will start fast and some of you will start slow. Some of you will fly high in the sky and some of you will fly low to the ground. The objective is for you to become comfortable flying a broomstick in a safe environment. Do not let obstacles, such as the older students in the stands watching, distract you. FOCUS. Be the master of your broom."
"On my whistle, I want you to push off from the ground and you'll be airborne," he said and held his whistle up to his lips.
TWEET!
"
wow", Raven say, time to fly within the Hogwarts grounds more than twenty feet.
Raven be ready, "
UP" he commanded the broom, in Raven wonder the broom is simply hit his palm gently.
Raven kick the ground gently, and he became at midair, he lean forward, the broom fly slightly upward, "
whoooh, like riding as horse" Raven shout, it's okay it's an open ground
