Alyssa blinked. They were going to fly sitting on a cushion? This was definitely going to be an interesting lesson today.

Standing up, she brushed off the grass from her clothes, before she selected a broomstick from the rack and then went to the two boxes pulling out a purple cushion from one and a rope from another.

Returning to where she was sitting, she sat down and first balanced the cushion on the broomstick handle before tying it up with the rope. She made sure that the rope was tightly wrapped around the broomstick and tested it by shaking it to make sure that the cushion didn't fall off.

Then she stood up, holding her makeshift cushioned broomstick in her hand and waited for further instructions.
