She wanted to yell at him. Really, she did--and she may have, had it not been for the fact that the professor likely had his eyes currently locked right on them. So she settled for a slight glare before drawing in a deep breath and introducing herself in return.
"Sierra Greingoth," she remarked. "First year Slytherin." Her eyes traveled to his broom, and it occurred to her that before he flew off again, she may want to teach him how to come to a good stop. "Do you remember how to stop?" she asked. "You just pull back on the broom a little," she said, demonstrating as she talked, "...and then the broom starts slowing down. If something's in your line of flight, you just steer your broom in the opposite direction."
To show this, she turned her broom first to left and then to the right.
Conan smiled,
"You related to Alex? He is in my house." Greingoth couldn't be a common name. It was a name that had stuck with him. Hearing people talk about him or to him, in the common room.
He shook his head.
"I don't think I am gonna start up again. I am happy just floating here. Less chance of a crash, if people can see me for a while." Yep. Plus, the collision wouldn't hurt as much.
He watched her fly though. She was a natural. Or she had been doing it for years. Maybe he should grow long hair, so it flew like that in the wind. That would be a good look.
A CUPCAKE!!!! Conan wanted it. Even if it was floating, and obviously a magic cupcake. He wanted it none the less. And he had to fly to get it. Ok. Screw staying still. He had to get that cupcake. How did you go up again? He pushed off the ground. Ok that was up. Leaning forward made you go forwards. Ok. He was going up and forwards. Mmmmmm cupcake.
