Nice? Getting his broom to come to him on the first try was just "nice"? Fiyero was a little disappointed that he hadn't earned more praise from Professor Tanner, but he was determined to prove himself this time around.
Alright, time to get down to the actual flying part of the lesson! Now this was what he'd been waiting for... He watched intently as Professor Tanner mounted her broom and copied her movements as closely as he could. His eyes followed her as she hovered in the air for a minute then touched back down. That was awesome! He couldn't wait to try that out himself.
The blond Gryffindor boy fidgeted a little as he waited for Professor Tanner to give the signal. Come on, get on with it! Couldn't she see he wanted to do some flying? The moment he saw the signal, Fiyero kicked off from the ground, taking extra care not to do it too hard and go rocketing into the sky. He hovered about four or five feet off the ground for a minute, high enough to show he wasn't scared but not so high as to get a serious injury if he fell, before nudging his broom handle back toward the ground.
He'd barely touched down when he kicked off again, hovering in the exact same spot. Hey, Professor Tanner said they could try it more than once, right? And he was going to take full advantage of the time to do it as much as possible! He touched down and took off again two or three more times, bowing with a dramatic flourish as he landed his broom for the final time. There, I'd like to see somebody top that, he thought triumphantly.
