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?"

Tiara was having trouble getting a read on this girl. First she was completely absorbed by her surroundings from curiosity, then she could barely look her professor in the face. And yet she was excited about charms and flying on a deep level. To top that, she was instantly indignant when Tiara mentioned they had stopped teaching flying - due to a threat, no less. "I can see you are less than pleased, but as I said, I do not yet know Headmistress Moxley's stance on the issue. We may yet have a lesson this term." It would likely fall to the Board of Governors to decide that, and trying to predict their actions was like trying to keep a niffler away from a pile of galleons - impossible.

Ah, she had not been very clear. "Commercial brooms have tens, if not hundreds, of spells placed upon them. I was referring to a basic incantation that levitates objects and which makes them 'fly.' So while you may learn a spell used on a broomstick, I would not recommend using it as a substitute for a real one." Not as a first year student with rudimentary magic, at least. And actually, with the last question, Tiara felt she had better nip this in the bud.. whatever 'this' was. "Plus, the Ministry has immensely strict guidelines on flying objects because of their danger and their risk for breaking the Statute. So.. I would run any grand plans you have by your charms professor first," she finished, flashing the girl a wink.
