"Up!" She ordered the broom which instantly flew up to her stretched hand. Louisa caught it quickly smiling widely. Yay! That's started really well. She mounted her broom and kicked the ground gently to feel herself race forwards and then upwards. Wind started caressing her cheeks as she laughed happily.

This joy didn't last for more than few seconds, Louisa felt her hands loosened on the broom which started zigzagging before landing on the ground. Louisa blinked after she had landed on her butt next to the broom. Whao.. She didn't think that falling off the broom itself was an adventure.

Not far away, another girl fell off the broom. Louisa held her own and hurried towards the girl whom she met at the fountain back in Diagon Alley. "Lara, right?" She smiled at the girl when she was in her earshot. "Remember me? I'm Louisa." Looking at the girl's outfit she figured out that she was a Slytherin. "You became a Slytherin then." She grinned half-heartedly because this particular house was on the top which made Ravenclaw on the before-last rank and that wasn't acceptable to Louisa.
