Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Daisy remembered how her father told her of the Muggle version of egg and spoon races and the difficulty involved with that. She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. Daisy decided to steady her breathing. Crossing her fingers might also help. She went to grab an egg and placed the handle of her spoon between her teeth. Carefully, she placed the egg on the spoon as she mounted her broomstick. Daisy silently prayed the egg wouldn't fall off as she gently ascended into the air and flew to the end of the pitch. There were a few nerve-racking moments as the egg wiggled slightly due to the wind's velocity but luckily when Daisy returned, the egg was fine.
Daisy decided to take a few moments to collect herself before attempting the second part of the activity. Firstly, she decided to grab another egg so that she had two eggs with her, just in case. She was still slightly nervous but she focused on two facts. The first being that she was really good at standing on her broomstick whilst in the air and the second being was that she managed to complete the first part of this activity.
Daisy gently placed the spoon's handle in her mouth, followed by one egg on the spoon as she ascended like before. She stayed in that position for a minute until she felt comfortable enough to stand on her broomstick. Daisy gently stood up on her broomstick as the wind seemed to pick up just a bit. "Oh, please don't." Daisy begged in her mind, not daring to look at the slightly wobbling egg. Much to the young witch's delight, she was moving faster but the egg was staying on the spoon. She made the return trip and gently got off her broom with a relieved smile on her features.
