 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Having successfully rolled out of the way of Dahlia's returned fluffy bludger, Mamie tried to ignore the childish behavior of the first years. Really, V and Lisa. She thought they were smarter than fighting about...whatever they were fighting about. Fight on the ground, not in the air. It was safer.
She listened intently to Kazmi's instructions. They were supposed to fall on purpose? She supposed it was better to learn how to fall? And then falling by accident would be less dangerous? It didn't...it didn't quite make sense, but she was pretty sure that's why people took swimming lessons, so...it made a little sense.
She got herself one of the fake wands, then anxiously waited her turn before flying up above the net. Once she was above the net, she rolled over to hang under her broom and...let go with one hand...then the other...and then leg go of the broom with her legs.
She squealed as she started falling, scrambling to get the fake wand out of where she'd tucked it away. "Accio, accio!" she started shouting the phrase even before she had the wand in her hand. Obviously, it did nothing, her precious broom didn't come back to her and she flopped into the net. She quickly clambered off and went to fetch her broom from Kazmi, still gripping the fake wand as though her life depended on it. It didn't. "Professor, if we fall for real and nobody is around to accio them...where do our brooms go? Do they keep flying forever? |
