Was that a good enough excuse to ask his Head of House if he could get back on the ground? He looked at the elder man. He sure didn’t look like one that would take any sort of excuses, even if his was totally valid.
He creased his lips into a straight line. He should at least be able to bank left once. He cant fly about turning right forever. He’d never get to his destination if he ever decides to use a broom to get anywhere.
He leaned forward again to pick up speed, then nuuuuudged his broom to go left. At first it didn’t feel like he was changing directions at all, but when he looked around the tree that he used as a mental marker was already off somewhere to his right. Well, it was blimp-paced, but it was progress.
Presley noticed the kid she'd met at the feast having trouble with...something. He just seemed all out of sorts. Since she was already headed that direction she nudged her broom forward and pulled up next to him, with a gentle slowing motion.
"Hey," she grinned.
"Everything okay?" And because she was Presley, and just couldn't resist, she did a really fast cartwheel, which left her in freefall for just a second, but she pulled her broom up before dropping too far.
