A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
He had run enough getting to this class in time so the Ravenclaw went with the flying option. And he suspected that most people would. They were in a flying class after all. What fun was running in a flying class?
Dorian walked over to a school broom and although at home he would simply pick up his father's broom from the ground by hand, he knew that in school he had to show proper technique which meant that he stood on the left side of the broom, held his right hand over it and said in a firm voice "UP!" and the broom shot up in to his hand at the first try.
This was what he liked about flying. He could do things at the first try which was very satisfying concidering he always had to try spells multiple times before they even worked. As he mounted the broom, the third year looked around him to see if it was clear to lift off and when it was he pushed his feet off of the ground.
He hovered for a moment, getting used to the older generation broom because it was certainly not one of the good types his father had and then flew up higher. Leaning to the right, Dorian flew towards the Hufflepuff stands and decided to start his rounds there.
Leaning forward now, the broom sped up. Too bad he couldn't show off some loops that his father had taught him. Perks of having a father who used to be a Quidditch champion for Slytherin House. But then again, showing off wasn't really his thing. As he round the first corner , he leaned his body slight to the left and flew around the goal posts on the opposite side of the field. Once he returned he went straight for the second task.
The zig zag technique was a lot more difficult than he had expected. When he had reached the corner of the other end his body had ended up leaning towards the right which was going in to the stands but luckily after quickly leaning backwards, the teenager could brake before he hit anything. He then leaned to the left and continued his zig zag way further around the field. When he returned, Dorian put pressure on the handle to dive down and braked slowly so that he could step off.
