"Tuck the bat securely under your arm and then mount your broom," he said and demonstrated for the visual learners. "Then take off. Once you're in the air and have gained control of your broomstick, you'll need to grasp the bat in one hand and keep the other on your broom handle. However, if you're not to sure about controlling a broomstick with one hand then rise no higher than five feet from the ground."
So he stood there and watched. Chaos was bound to happen sooner or later. It always did.
As the professor talked, Anna did as he instructed. She'd never been a beater before, so this should be interesting. Truth be known, she sort of thought that maybe she might accidentally hit herself in the head with the bat or something. Nevertheless, with the bat tucked under her arm, she mounted her broom. Waittt....had she heard correctly? They could actually take off now? Ha! Without paying the idea another questioning thought, Anna took off. She first steadied herself on her broom. Falling off or losing her balance right about now wouldn't be one of her brightest ideas.
When she was well-balanced, Anna repositioned herself and moved to where one of her hands firmly held the bat. The other hand kept ahold of the broomstick. So...what now? Were they just supposed to hover, or were they supposed to fly around and test out the bat? She'd just listen carefully for any other directions.
