Further down the row of volunteers, the first students were already rising slowly into the air, grinning as they did so. When the professor appeared in front of her, Kiri held out her hand (she'd removed the glove) obediently. With a tap of the wand, the Billywig unfroze. It sprang into the air, zoomed around Kiri's hand a few times, then... "Ouch!" Kiri muttered, more in surprise than pain. The Billywig's sting wasn't much more than a pinprick on her skin, but she hadn't even noticed it slow down. She eyed her hand curiously for a moment.

Sneaky little creature, the Billywig. Fly-by stinging! Kiri giggled. Fly-by! She thought she'd never heard a funnier thing in her life. In fact... In fact! She needed to let the others know about this rapier wit of hers. "Heeeey," she slurred, noticing a sapphire flash in front of her eyes that told her that the Billywig was still circling her, "what do you do when you get stung by a Billywig? Curse a blue streak! Blue streak, geddit?" She collapsed in a series of snorts. "Hey, where are you guys going?"

Because the rest of the class was moving away, and apparently they were taking the ground with them. She was about to tell them to leave a patch of grass for her when she realised that it was her who was in motion. Kiri glanced down. She was hovering above the ground. By at least a metre. Far out! No broom necessary! She flailed her arms excitedly and discovered that this enabled her to move. It was sort of like swimming through thin air. This brought on another round of laughter. Thin-air swimming, who had ever heard of such a thing!

It turned out manoeuvring was a bit difficult, though. Thunk! Kiri's head collided with the back of Professor Lawson's. "Sorry, Prof L," she managed, trying to rub her head and turn around at the same time.
