........not funny. None of this. None. Paige was unfamiliar with the Groundskeeper's sense of humor - and perhaps even more so since it was entirely possible THAT display of the man at the start of term feast was still subconsciously influencing her wanting to - but this whole losing her head was far from amusing. She still had to tackle her fear of heights which was enough a monumental task on its own.
Not to mention...she had never actually been able to get a broom off the ground on her own. Ever. She had never even attempted the whole hand over the handle of the broom and 'UP!' before...so this was likely to be a complete disaster.
Chewing on her lower lip nervously, Paige watched as her classmates effortlessly - and enthusiastically at that - mounted their brooms and lifted up into the air. She could not even begin to fathom whatever it was that Charlotte was talking about - although she did have a visual of sorts from the all of one professional match she had attended...and seen more of Noel's shirt than the actual pitch that is. Meanwhile, where was the Hufflepuff? Standing by her broom still shaking like a flutterby bush. Maybe she SHOULD talk to her broom like the Groundskeeper had suggested? She talked to her plants all the time and brooms were crafted from trees so...connection?
The seventh year was grasping for straws here.
"Um...hello...um...school broom," Paige whispered as she knelt down beside her borrowed broom. Something that may have felt weird to some...but this was the wizarding world where even wands could have a mind of their own and shift their loyalties. "I've...never actually flown on a broom before...alone...so this will be the first time..."
