....feel the broom, be the broom....
What if she didn't want to be a broom?
Managing a weak smile up at Charlotte - because despite her tight lipped smile...the Hufflepuff really was appreciative of her encouragement - Paige finished up her shy pleasantries with her broom and too step one: feel the broom.
Yep. It was, well, a broom. Made of wood. Nice and smooth and aerodynamic. A broom.
Paige swallowed and opted to skip step two because visualizing herself as a broom was actually making things more terrifying because it implied someone else was in control and guiding her through the air. She would like to ride a broom on her own terms, thank you.
Blushing a little as she finally mounted properly, her hands gripping the handle to the point that her knuckles were turning white, she took several deep breaths with her eyes closed.
Up. Up? Up. UP?
Deciding to try the whole hop approached, the seventh year bent slightly at the knees and halfheartedly jumped into the air......only to feel her feet touch back on the ground a few moments later.
To her own relief, admittedly.
