"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.



This pleased Haddie even less. How was anything else gonna break statute any more than flying around on broomsticks. The girl was determined though. Sure she wasn't gonna get her first year, or probably even her second year, but eventually she would. No silly brooms for her.

The blonde Californian simply nodded. She'd have to find a list of those spells used on the brooms. Then she could practice and teach herself all of them and do it. If she asked would Professor Tanner give her a list of the spells? She doubted it, but worth a try. Before she left at least.

"Are there any places that teach flying outside the school?" That was the other thing she wanted to ask. Maybes were maybes. If a maybe turned into a yes, great. If a maybe didn't turn into a yes, well better to plan for that from the start. "I know you said that the Headmistress might okay lessons, but if she doesn't, how do the students learn? Are there flying lessons taught over summer or something?"
