"I've already placed numerous protective charms on the grass as well as a height restricting charm. Your safety is my first priority. Now, I would like each of you to place your right hand over your broom and in a firm voice say 'Up!' "
It was obvious with that statement that Celandine was disappointed. The thing was her first flying lessons had been with Wystan and therefore she hadn't really been taught the basics all that well. By the next term it was like she was running before walking. Still, this part she could manage.
"Up!" She told the broom firmly, catching it neatly as it practically jumped into her hand.
