It was hard to concentrate on flying, something Junia knew how to do, when there were so many still learning how. She wanted to watch, observe the way they interacted with their brooms, note who was hesitant and who wasn't. You never knew who you might be up against in a BIG pro quidditch match someday and this moment might be a good way to taunt an opponent! Always thinking ahead, she was.

It was only when Mr. McLeod revealed the next part of their activity that Junia realized she hadn't even taken hold of her broom. ...Whoops.

Hand raised over it, the second year smiled a little and said, "UP!" Her voice was clear and her tone was firm, firm enough that the broom flew up into her hand with no trouble at all. See? This stuff was easy!

Now came the fun part!
