Watching some attempt was a fun show. Justin decided to keep himself mounted just incase as he casually sat on the barely levitated broom. Made it easier to see things. "Good take off Miss Ava." A bit rough on the landing though. Another student however, whoa. "Excellent Sinead. Great landing, take 5 points for that display." An excellent example to follow.

Help.

"Okidoki." He could do this. A little hover. No biggie. He swung one leg over the broom and placed his hands the way he thought was right. Now, the kick off. He exhaled once before kicking off. It was just a little jump. Nothing exciting happened. He jumped again. And nothing.

Carlton bounced on the spot, kicking off from the ground over and over without getting anywhere near a hover. He'd been so proud that he'd gotten his broom to obey him before but now he was stuck again.

Bounce, bounce, bounce. Carlton bounced a little to the right and a little to the left but never reached a hover.

He decided on a new tactic. He'd outsmart the broom. Carlton placed the broom on the ground again and walked in a wide circle around it before quickly standing up next to it. If he moved fast, the broom wouldn't know what hit it.

"Up!" It hesitantly hovered up to his hand. "Boom." One leg swinging over. "Boom. Boom." Both hands firmly in place. "And... BOOM!" Lift off!

And this time he actually left the ground! After about 3465763725 tries, give or take another thousand tries. He was defeating gravity! "Oh neat!" His legs dangled in the air and he felt a tingle in his toes. Wiggling his feet he looked up into the sky. This was beyond awesome. He looked down again... He was high up. Was he supposed to hover this high up?

Carlton gripped his broom harder. He was slowly but steadily rising further up in the air. "Uhm, Professor..." He was confused and too scared to actually do anything productive to get it to stop. "How do I descend..?" Now this wasn't a hover anymore. He squealed. He was officially done with the 'taking flight' of the lesson. He wanted to touch solid ground again, he wanted to return DOWN.

Maybe someone could just grab his shoes and drag him back down to the ground? That would be helpful and stuff.

"Help." He squealed.

Oh dear. Looks like a limit on the height was needed for this one as Justin took out his wand to aim at the boy preventing him from flying any higher with a hearty grin. "Well done on the take off Carlton! Now just take some deep breaths and remember. Keep that firm grip on the handle before gently guiding it downward and concentrate on descending slowly." For safety reasons, of course. Good thing he remembered the place cushion charms all over the ground here.

"Professor, can I have a proper broom, you know one with a seatbelt on it?" Yeah he didn't want to fall off, after all if he fell it was going to be from a height taller than the tallest building right and that was something he didn't want to happen.

"There is one right?" Simon eye bulged into the back of his head as he stood standing there.

Broom with a seatbelt... Merlin. Justin merely blinked at him before answering, "You have the right broom Master Simon. They all have a cushion charm attached to sit on comfortably and securely." Simple as that."So long as you don't let go of the handle you won't have to worry about falling. Give it a try." Sides he was ready to rescue anyone if they needed it.
