SPOILER!!: Tanner

Haddie winced a little when Professor Tanner seemed to already know her name, well last name at least. She guessed that's what happens when you're one of the only two Ravenclaws to participate in the food fight, and was the one that participated the most.

She avoided meeting the Professor's eyes at least until Professor Tanner delivered the news about flying. That had been one of the things she was most looking forward to learning. And they weren't teaching it anymore! That was -that -but-but... that was totally unfair!

Although the news that she would be learning the flying charms soon, and in class no less, helped cheer her up a little again. Especially since they were reportedly very simple charms. Unless they were talking about two different things. Because if those charms were easy, why wasn't everyone just making their own brooms instead of buying them? So we'll learn the spells they use on broomstick in class? This year?"

She also wanted to ask about how she could learn to fly if Hogwarts wasn't teaching it. Where there private lessons that could be taken? But if there was confusion, it was probably because Haddie was asking too many questions at once. She had a tendency to do that. Especially now that the means to make ideas of hers, both new and old, into reality was hers. Well would be, once she learned it. Natalie, her twin, wasn't here to help her slow down. She had to figure that out on her own. One question at a time was a start.

Haddie took a deep breath. "So we learn how to spell our own flying objects, like, if we didn't want to use a broom, we could use something else instead?"

And she was not in any hurry, apparently. "Feel free to look around," she said unnecessarily, "then take a seat if you wish." She did wish. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, Miss Denaker?" Ah, she had found out a bit of Tiara's past, it seemed. "*Well, I used* to be the flying instructor. We have not officially had flying at Hogwarts for some years now since a threat was made against our student athletes." So whatever information this girl had, it was only partially good. "So you may have to wait awhile to learn how to fly, unfortunately, unless Headmistress Moxley changes her mind." And that was all she was going to say there. Tiara smiled broadly. It was rare to find a curious mind interested in history! "Brooms, and the carpets our eastern compatriots favor, were both chosen because they were easy to hide from muggles. Back when brooms were first getting off the ground--" she stopped, wincing at the bad pun. "Sorry, that was awful!" she laughed and began again. "When flying was first getting popular, the Statue of Secrecy was not in effect yet, so witches and wizards were still living side by side with muggles. They needed something that no one would find strange to see if they walked in unannounced. So that is why the broom instead of a vacuum. But of course, anything can be made to fly with a simple charm you will likely cover in your lessons very soon."
