Sloth grip roll. She could do this. It was a maneuver she had used before, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Taking advantage of the time on the ground, Cordelia took a moment to look at her blood sugar trend on her continuous glucose monitor and popped a couple glucose tablets into her mouth before she prepared to mount her broom. Got to make sure she wouldn’t have a low in the air. Commanding her broom up, Cordelia mounted her broom and gently rose into the air just six feet into the air. Gripping her broom as tightly as she could, Cordelia shifted her weight to one side of the broomstick and allowed her body to roll under. Pulling herself back up was the tricky bit as she didn’t have exceptional upper body strength, but she was able to position herself back on top of her broomstick after a few seconds. No matter how much experience one had on a broom, dangling upside down always felt weird. It just wasn’t a position that the human body was naturally designed to be in. Being in this position usually meant bludgers, and being chased by bludgers was far from being Cordelia’s favorite part of the game. Bludgers were annoying and scary because they diverted her attention from the snitch and they could cause serious injuries. Her favorite thing during matches was that final race to catch the snitch, adrenaline coursing through her veins as she zoomed down the pitch at full speed. Naturally she wanted to do something more with her sloth grip roll practice. After a few more practice rolls at six feet, Cordelia rose higher into the air. At first she did more sloth grip rolls in a stationary position. Once she was confident with her sloth grip rolls at this altitude, Cordelia started flying her broom around the pitch. Cordelia imagined a scenario in which a bludger was headed right at her and she would need to do a sloth grip roll to avoid it. While her broom was still moving forward, Cordelia gripped her broom as tightly as she could with her arms and legs and rapidly swung her body upside down. Once her imaginary bludger had passed, she righted herself again. The next time she went for a sloth grip roll while in motion, Cordelia extended her right arm as though she was trying to grab the snitch and gripped extra tight with her feet and left arm as she went upside down one-handedly. This was fun!
