Claudine was right about the immaturity. That’s how both Daniel and V acted that day and continued to act. She liked them both but didn’t like their behaviors…… But Lisa, herself, was also immature…. BUT she was very happy not to be lumped into the immature category.

She gulped as she heard the Professor’s voice as he took FIVE WHOLE POINTS AWAY away from Slytherin because of V’s actions. Lisa felt conflicted. Sure, V deserved it because she was misbehaving but she still felt bad for her friend for getting into trouble. Lisa glanced sown at her hands on her broomstick as she listened to their next set of instructions.

They were flying above the net and then falling to their doom? to the net?

Lisa gulped again and felt her heart begin to race. Sweaty palms, racing heart, and she felt stuck IN PLACE. No, no, no, no. She did not want to give this ago. She bit her lip, following Claudine and deciding not to say a word to V for fear of getting them BOTH in trouble.

She flew slowly up a little higher and waited, watching other students give it a go. Wow Remy looked so cool as she did the activity. She wished that she had her bravery when it came to heights……. Oh! She forgot to grab a fake wand. She had no intentions of using her own ESPECIALLY considering HOW dangerous Professor K was making it sound. She skeddadled to go find one and then returned to her place.

Soon enough, it was her turn.

Trying to actually off the broom was less easy than what she had imagined but she figured it out relatively quickly. She did have her fake wand already in hand as she fell. She didn’t want to bother having to find it in her pocket or worse having it fall out of her hand as she plummeted to the net.

The falling sensation was terrifying at first and it took all of her power not to yell out or flail her arms. She tightened her grip on the wand and yelled, “Arresto Momentum!” on her fall. She couldn’t tell if it had worked because she felt as if she was still going at the same speed. She shut her eyes as she BOUNCED onto the net.

Quickly getting to her feet, she checked herself all over for any bruises, breaks, or strains. She was alive. She let out a little laugh and bounced of excitement. That wasn’t so bad. This was like the stopping before the mat exercise that they had done before in a prior class. Instead of horizontally like that was, this task was VERTICAL.

Okay. She could do this. She’d have to keep trying until she perfected it.

She readied herself and headed over to Professor K for her broom. “That was… better than I thought…” she told the Professor as she retrieved her broom. Her cheeks flushed from both embarrassment and the wind.

Then she flew back up to the sky.
