"If you follow instructions it's not." Of course, if you do risky moves then it might become dangerous, but they weren't doing that. Kennedy looked down and although he didn't feel like they were up too high, it must of have felt like that to Aurora.

He grinned when he saw Aurora attempt to control the broom. "See, there you go," he said, encouragingly. He leaned to the left and then right. "Maybe you should try landing and then kicking off?" he suggested. Since they weren't up too high, Kennedy leaned forward and when his feet got close to the ground he jogged so that he wouldn't just fall on his face...like the first time he tried it.

See, landing wasn't too hard.

Aurora nodded, not wanting to speak unless it faltered her concentration. Right, following instructions made this safe apparently... whatever. Falling from just 12 feet could seriously injure you, what would happen if they fell from this height?

Landing... right. She watched Kennedy do it. He seemed to find it easy enough... Lean forwards... eek! Aurora leant forwards the tiniest bit, then a bit more... oh Merlin this was terrifying... she had to fight against her instincts to pull the broom up sharply. Then her feet were on the ground... but she was going a lot faster than she had thought... She stumbled and fell over, getting her knees and hands muddy as she landed on all fours, the broom dropping beneath her.

So. Landing was difficult. She should probably try that again... but that would mean taking off again. Eeeep. Just the idea of it was scary. She was shaking slightly but she took a few deep breaths and glanced up, "How come everyone else finds this so easy?" she said, watching people zooming up and down the pitch. The broom was still laying lifeless on the floor from where she had dropped it so she stood next to it and put her right hand out. "Up." The broom raised slightly, wobbled a bit, and dropped to the ground. It took her another two tries until it unwillingly placed itself into her hand. Clearly the broom was telling her not to keep trying... But then she should probably try the landing bit again... "Should we try again..?" she asked, tucking a stray red hair back into the ribbon she had secured it with.
