Obstacle course time. She was more than ready to conquer the course. Her eyes followed Maddie as she started the first portion. It appeared as if the third year had been practicing. “Nice job, Maddie!” she yelled just before jumping to her feet. Then Daisy was off. She watched as her friend navigated the barriers, staying nice a low and avoiding contact. "Awesome work, Daisy!"

Once it was her turn, she commanded her broom to her outreached hand, mounted, and began her sprint forward. Her new broom had so much more power than the school brooms, so she made quick time closing the distance to the barriers. Left, then right, her body leaned ever so slightly to maneuver between the barriers. The extra training over the summer at quidditch camp was paying off. Her body hardly moving to send her broom zigging and zagging where it needed to be. It was hard for her to imagine that not more than a year ago she had never been on, or even heard of, a flying broom.

It appeared she was through the last barrier and headed towards the pile of quaffles. She reached her hand out to grab one as she flew by, but the speed of her new broom was too fast and her fingers only glanced off a quaffle. Emmalyn quickly made a u turn, grabbed a quaffle, spun around, and bolted off towards the goals. To make up for her miss quaffle blunder, she decided to try out the ‘Emmalyn spin’ to score. With her right hand firmly on the broom, she pulled up while simultaneously twirling her body to the left and sending the quaffle through the far left goal. “Score!” She cheered before setting her sights on the next part of the course.
