After all, Andromeda had rather forcefully told him that if he were a bird he would fly backwards. But it was funny how often expectations and reality were the polar opposites.
Like in this case.
Overly confident, the Gryffindor had gone straight to the pole thingies and maneuvered through the first mostly because he had angled himself to the bristles were pointed at a diagonal. However...once he started the whole leaning back and actual movement...thing...things fell apart. His robes caught on the pole and all attempts the blonde made to untangle himself only resulted in him getting even more ensnared and instead of flying backwards...he was in a perpetual spin around one of the poles.
So...that was...something...
Around, around, and around he goes...when will he stop? Well...er...Professor Kazmi?
Instead of answering the man's question, Atlas provided a visual aid of just how well it had gone for him...since he still was a bit of a tangled mess around one of the poles and his ropes in a real twist. Needless to say, he actually had his broom in a knot.
Or was the expression 'wand in a knot'?
"I think it went...rather well," Atlas eventually mused while wiggling his fingers in the flying instructor's direction. It was the only part of his arm that he could really move at the moment without making it so his robes strangled him.
