Violet's broom arrived in her hand right on cue (at least she was good with other spells, ones that didn't involve flying). But as she tried to mount it, she found that some of the vines had taken hold of her left ankle.
"DIFFINDO!!!" she shouted, cutting at them viciously. In just a few seconds, she was vine-free, mounted on her broom, and flying back into the air, feeling much better for having struck back at the offending plants.

Violet stared at her teacher unbelievingly. How did the activity go for her?!? Violet felt that was pretty obvious to anyone who'd seen it. She'd made a fool of herself, just like almost every other flying lesson, which was why she disliked flying so much. Violet didn't like to fail at anything, and she particularly didn't like to make such obvious and public mistakes. But, feeling like she ought to say something, she finally said,
"Well, I guess I need to practice going around obstacles a bit more" in a low voice.
