But Tanner was enlisting her assistance. WHAT AN HONOR.

"Coming, professor," Soph swerved around a few people to reach Angel, her face bright with confidence. In the next moment, she was settling herself at Angel's side, placing her own broomstick on the ground to help demonstrate further what Angel wanted to do. "I saw you struggling, 'n I think y'just need to relax. Brooms are super sensitive, a lot like wands are, y'know? With your wand, you're not gonna put all your might into doing magic with it - you're gonna be cool, confident, and just... let it happen. Doesn't require TOO much strenuous thought, y'know? I mean, y'need to focus your intent, but y'can't let your emotions take control. It's magic, very sensitive, and it's gonna respond to every bit of energy you're giving off. So if you're giving off too much negative energy, it's gonna respond negatively - in this case, by not giving you what you want."

Clearing her throat, Soph stuck out her hand over her broom and gestured for Angel to do the same to her broomstick. "Just relax. Cool, confident, but firm. Y'gotta want it, envision it, and just... let yourself have it. Concentrate, but don't overthink it." Soph took a deep, cleansing breath, then demonstrated. "Up," Soph coolly ordered her broomstick, and up it went into her hand.

Not too hard, eh? "Just trust yourself. You've got this." She believed in her.


Angel was just thinking about giving it another go when the Professor spoke, she was about to say something when the Professor called for the head girl to show he how to do it, well this was awesome, she hoped that Sophie would be able to help her.

Angel watched as Sophie moved around some people and then she told her she had seen her struggling, had she been that bad, now this was making her sad, where was a football she wanted to kick one. Let her play that any day and she was exceptional.

Angel listened to everything that Sophie told her, this head girl was amazing and must seriously love flying, she was talking about it like how she would take about football. "Okay, I'll try." Angel was still scared all there was between being successful and falling out of the sky was one little broom and she had read stories of people falling off them.

"Up!" Angel held her hand out but once again the broom did nothing, this was embarrassing her now, Sophie's broom had shoot straight up the first time of asking.

Angel decided to try and think positivity, she thought about it and she concentrated hard on it being in her hand, she was trying to keep the negative thoughts out of her head.

"Up!" Angel watched her broom it did nothing for a few seconds before it started to shake and then it went into her hand. "Thanks Sophie." Angel gave a weak smile to the head girl.
