"it looks nice what color was it originally?"

"My origanal hair color is Brown."

Paul stretched and walked over to the few students that had assembled on the pitch. He was unsure as to the time, but figured it was best to get the lesson underway.

"Everyone, grab a broom. These're comet 260's but I've checked all of 'em so they're safe they're safe." He set his own broom on the groun beside him, then turned to the students. "First lesson everyone: calling yer broom. Now, typically people say 'up!' Meself, I like to say 'come now!' Brooms today are intelligent enough to respond to most anything."

He stepped over his broom and raised a hand above it, saying clearly, but in an obvious accent, "come now!" His broom quickly lifted into his hand and he turned to face the students. "Easy enough then. Soo, let's see ye give it a try then."

Andrew stepped over his broom raised his hand above the broom and said "up" clearly and the broom lifted into his hand.

Ebony walked up and grabbed a broom. When she walked back to where she was stand, she placed it on the ground. Here goes nothing. Ebony thought as she said. "UP!!!" For a second she though it didn't work, but the broom jumped into her hand. "Wicked"

Tonya stepped up to her broom and said "up" the broom floated to her hand. i shoulda brought my broom its a lot better than this.
"Ilike it andrew."

Serilda got onto her broom, smiled lightly at Paul, and then took off into the air, considering she had been trained previously how to fly last year. She hoped Paul won't mind.

ooc: sorry.

Paul groaned as a student took off on her broom. He hadn't yet explained to the students that he put a 10 foot magical ceiling over the pitch for the lesson. He winced as Serilda nailed the ceiling and fell down, sprawled out on the ground with her broom a few meters away from her.

"Alright then, alright. Everyone stay here." He let go of his broom and while it hovered stationary in the air, he ran to Serilda. "Ye alright there girl? That was a mighty fall that was," he said, helping her up and gathering up her broom.

Serilda grunted and sat up, rubbing the top of her head and her back. "Peacy," she grumbled. "I swear there wasn't a ceiling there before." She laughed slightly and got to her feet, with the professor's help. "Thank you. And I'm sorry; I thought it would be ok for me to fly because I'm a 2nd year and I already know how." She blushed and bowed her head. "Maybe I should just go before I hurt myself more or embarrass myself to death." Serilda picked up her broom.

"That looked like it hurt."

Paul shook his head. "No no. It happens to everyone. You can go stand with everyone else, but keep yer feet on the bloody ground until I say otherwise, yeah? Don't want anyone getting hurt." He motioned for her to go stand with the other students, but leaned over to speak quietly enough so other students didn't hear. "While we're at it though, you should be using a school broom, so." He held out his hand for her to give him the broom. Having chewed her out affectively he looks at her again. "So then, yer sure yer okay? Do ye not need to see the nurse then?"

Serilda glanced over at the Slytherin and gave a weak laugh. "Yeah; it did," she muttered, rubbing her left shoulder blade

edd ran down the field hopefully unnoticed. he carried his broom over his shoulder. he got in line and copyed everyone else.

"Hi edd"

edd waved his arms "no" he whispered he did not want to draw attention to him self. but what did she do, he sighed.

Serilda blushed and bowed her head. "Yes sir," she said quietly. She was horribly ashamed and embarrassed. "No we don't want anyone to get hurt." She shook her head and started to the other students. She paused and listened to the professor; she nodded weakly. "Yes, Professor." Serilda handed her broom to him reluctantly but dutifully. She nodded again, even though she was in alot of pain; she knew nothing was broken. She was just going to have alot of brusies and a couple of cuts. "I'm fine, Professor. Really." Serilda then moved over to stand in line with the other students.

"Sorry edd." Tonya wispered.

edd mouthed "its ok" he smiled then stood straight again.

Paul helped dust Serilda off and set her broom down carefully. He picked up a comet and handed it to her. He turned back to the class. "Right then. That brings me to the next point. Just so noone goes flying off the handle, for the first class, there'll be a 10 foot ceiling on the pitch. So to avoid any tumbles, fly low, and wait until I tell ya to go ahead, so." He let it sink in and examined Edd. He turned to Tonya. "Was yer man here before then?" He asked, pointing to Edd.

"Um he's not my man."

edd looked at tonya and nodded slightly. he thought "say yes say yes"

Serilda took the Comet from the professor; she blushed again, muttered a polite, "Thank you," as he helped her dust off. She stood in line and felt her face turn beet red as Paul explained the ceiling. Serilda glanced at Edd; oh no, she thought. If Tonya lies, she'll get into trouble, if not, she'll condemn Edd! Oh Merlin... Serilda looked away from everyone and glanced at the floor.

"But I think he's been here the entire timme Instructor Devine. I'm not sure."

A piercing shot of pain fired through Serilda's left shoulder from when she fell; she refused to look up at the professor, Edd, or Tonya as Paul interrogated them.

Tonya shot a glance at Serilda and could tell she was in pain, "Um instructor devine maybe Serilda should get her shoulder checked out she looks like she's in pain."
