He wished Tory stood by him instead. Jace could feel his cheeks warm up when Azura stood by him, and gave him...a smile? What was going on? He was sure she was mad at him, because she walked out on him for being honest. The Ravenclaw did not return the smile, because he was confused and was still in the process of figuring out what the smile meant. After days of not talking to him, or at least an acknowledgment, there she was being all friendly.

Yes, girls are confusing. Thankful that Tenacius spoke up, if only Azura wasn't messing up his thoughts, he would have asked the Gryffindor why it wasn't cool to help Torrance...and himself. Jace was sure he'd do the silencing charm on a snoring machine to do everyone in his dorm a favour.

Following the instruction of the Professor, Jace placed the broom on his right side, raised his arm over it and commanded it to fly to his hand. He was able to get this right during the Summer Quidditch Camp, so it was no surprise that the broom responded to him immediately, "UP." After mounting his broom, and listening to the professor, Jace kicked the ground, and in seconds he was hovering off the ground. Jace did a good, solid landing when the professor asked them come down again for the main activity. Looking to the other side of the field, the Ravenclaw eyed the middle course. He wasn't really that much of a beginner anyway, so he thought he'd do okay with a bit of a challenge.
