He didn't care that his first Flying Lesson at Hogwarts would be again bitter winds. He was prepared for that, he 'borrowed'a pair of Benton's Goggles when his Hufflepuff Cousin wasn't looking. Earlier today. So that would prevent the winter winds from stinging his eyes.
As stated this was his first Flying Lesson at Hogwarts. having an Older Cousin in the Pros meant that he learned how to fly on a Broom earlier. So he knew basics. What he really wanted was to learn how to Fly on his own. No broom attached. He would perhaps make it known to the Professor Flying Lady that she should call this lesson BROOM Flying Basics. Just to clarify in case there were any Rare individuals like himself who wanted to whoosh through the sky like Superman. "Hello Missus Professor Tanner Flying Lady" He smiled at her, and gave her a nod. Ah, the first eager participant had arrived! And.. with an interesting greeting as well. " Wise move," she said loudly over the wind, tapping by her eyes to indicate his goggles. Quote:

"Prof...Professor Tanner, c-can we s...skip the... fly.." The young firstie tried to gasp out a reversal of the question she asked nearly ever Arithmancy lesson. Can we skip the flying today and have a math lesson instead? It would have been cute and funny, or so she thought, had she had enough breath to actually spit it out. Halfway through the Californian eagle gave up with a wave of her hand and doubled over to catch her breath.
When she could breath somewhat regularly again, she stood up straight. "Hello, Professor Tanner." She still sounded a bit out of breath, but at least she could talk. "I ran from the tower," she explained. The girl was excited. Even winded, that was clear. She had an air about her that gave the distinct impression of a boiler about to explode. Too much energy packed into too small a container, just waiting to be released... and we all know how that goes. Really? Skip the flying and do arithmancy instead? Because that was surely what she had been about to say. Tiara just waited for her to catch her breath. " I see that," she said, having watched her run into the stadium. " At least you will stay warm for a few minutes!" she said jovially. Quote:

No, not in the least as she knew how excited the other girl was for the lesson. Rachel took her time in getting down to the windy pitch. It wasn't that she wasn't excited for the flying lesson; it was more that she had already gotten some experience about broomsticks and Quidditch at Primary Wizarding school.
"Hello, Professor Tanner,'' Rachel greeted when she arrived. She gave the woman a friendly smile then turned to Haddie. "Leaving your best friend behind is frowned upon, you know.'' But her fellow Eagle was being smiled at then she received a look of great concern. "Are you alright?'' All that running seemed to have taken the air out of her. There was another eagle. " Welcome, Miss Watson. Miss Denaker is over there," she said with a point, knowing exactly where she would be heading next. Quote:

From last night she couldn't stop thinking about her flying lesson.
Since her childhood she was wondering about how to play quidditch. Or how was it flying with her broom. And today she'll learn it.
"Hello, professor Tanner. " Jessie smiled politely to the woman "Seems like I'll need your help a lot in this lesson." she hopes that she'll do no mistakes. Good, they kept coming. " Hello yourself, Miss Kallisti! I would be happy to help you today, that is exactly why I am here." She smiled warmly to help boost the Gryffindor's confidence. Quote:

Its true that first years arent allowed their own brooms. A travesty and such archaic, irrelevant ruling according to the senior Salander-- to which the junior could only wholeheartedly agree. But not being able to bring his own ride didn’t stop him from showing up on the first day of flying class. They'll be given the chance to do some legit flying, who cares if the ride is a little worse for wear eh?
"HI PROFESSOR TANNER HI!!" the curly top beamed with such warm enthusiasm the wintry wind couldnt possibly put a chill in it. "Do we get to pick out our own brooms now huh huh?" That open broom shed is like a picnic basket to a bear, absolutely irresistible. What enthusiasm! " Hello, Mister Salander! I can tell you are excited!" That was definitely an understatement. " Not quite yet, but almost!" Quote:

Well, sort of prepared that is, the first year Ravenclaw had heard just how bad her siblings had been at this class so well, she’d brought a bag with some knee and elbow pads in them. Mel did not want to come out of this looking like a piñata felt after it had gotten a smack down.
Looking around at the field the first year couldn’t help but beam as she saw just whom the instructor was! PROFESSOR TANNER WAS AWESOME and fast becoming one of her favorites. “Hey Tenacius” she beamed over at her friend before waving at the other friends in the area. Yes Rachel and Haddie got waves. “Hello Professor Tanner!” Mel beamed at the Professor and looked around. “I brought mittens” she whispered leaning toward Tenacius, “you can have some if you need them” she said indicating to the bag slung across her shoulder. Heck, there weren’t just mittens in there. There were a few scarves and pairs of leg and arm warmers.
Reaching into the somewhat bundled up Gryffindor girl began to pull on a pair of legwarmers. “I feel like I look like a knock-off-1980s fitness person…you know…minus the leotard thing?” She shrugged and grinned over to her friends.
" Miss Johanson, hello there!" Tiara liked this young Gryffindor. " What do you have there in the bag?" Quote:

However, Quidditch players looked super cool and impressive, so he might as well give it a try. Despite the cold, he was wearing less than usual, as he felt that this would help him fly better. It never hurt to be cautious.
After pausing only briefly to read the sign outside of the stadium, he walked in (without a personal broom) and smiled at the Arithmancy-Flying Professor. "Good afternoon, Professor Tanner." Oh, she should know this one. Carl.. Carl L-something. Leonard! " Good afternoon, Mister Leonard. Will you be warm enough?" she asked, looking concerned. Quote:

She waved at Rachel and Haddie but didn't the best friends. Indeed she stood off to the side.. By herself a little bit.
She was supposed to teach Jasper how to fly.
She sighed softly as she waved at the Professor.
"Hello Professor. " If that sigh was any indication, Azura was not thrilled to be here. " Hello, Miss Kennedy," she said with a warm smile. " I am glad you are here today." Even if the girl wasn't. Quote:

It was one of the things he was most excited about when his letter had finally arrived. Herbology, History, learning ALL the magic, and FLYING. He wasn't awfully excited about heights ever in his life, but who could pass up learning how to defy gravity?! It was the closest he'd get to tallness.
He wasn't keen on the idea of getting sick again, so the small Slytherin appeared at the lesson much as he had at the CoMC lesson. Snuggly warm coat, snuggly warm scarf, snuggly warm gloves. He was, however, looking much less wilty and sleepy this time. And thank Merlin for that. He bounced aaaaall the way there, both because it was normal for him to do so and because it helped to keep him warm.
"Hiiii professor," he called happily as he joined the growing group of small humans inside the stadium. He looked up at the stands, and the posts, and everything Quidditch-y. He'd had opportunities to see this sort of stuff at Quidditch games his dad had taken him to, but those were few and far between. He wanted to see how big the goals really were, up close. All he had to do was waaaaaaait, heh. This boy had been bouncing all the way into the arena, so Tiara knew he was excited. " Hello, Mister Song! You look properly bundled up," she said with an approving nod. Quote:

As he got to the field, the first year inclined his head towards the woman and gave her a warm smile. "Good day, Professor Tanner." Jace tightened his scarf around his neck, and tried to ignore the cold breeze. It was a good thing he came in layers that day. He knew he'd be freezing up in the air...that is if he can still remember how to get off the ground.
Wait...is that Torrance? Jace slowly grinned at the sight of him and stood right next to the Gryffindor. "Nice to see you here, Torrance." he was honestly relieved to see another boy he's familiar with in the area. " Good day, Mister Reed." She watched him tighten his scarf and did the same herself. Brrrr! Quote:

That meant all the more fun to be had, once they had a lesson actually scheduled. Which as luck would have it was today and the Ravenclaw made her way out to the pitch with the rest of the gathered students, more than ready for whatever was planned for the flying class today. Now she could finally get up in the air regardless of having to borrow a broom from the school.
“Hello Professor,” she greeted the woman whom normally taught arithmancy. Seemed she was returning to her roots. “Hey,” she greeted her housemates as she moved to stand nearby. It looked like they were just as excited as she was and Olivia was certainly aware of Haddie’s attempts to get flying lessons out of the professor previously. She’d done it often enough in the other classes. " Miss Stone! Welcome," she greeted the girl. Hopefully she had bundled up enough!
" Okay, everyone! While we wait for the last stragglers, go ahead and grab yourself a broom out of the shed over there," she said, turning towards it and pointing. " It is just around the corner through that exit."
OOC: We will officially begin either late tonight or early tomorrow morning depending on how tired I get.
