AJ stood, forming a line, and put her goggles on, and setting her broom down, so she didn't hurt anyone with it, since she was fairly clutzy, and looked at Lee and Drusilla, waiting for something to happen. |
Lee scowled at James, "Want another detention James?" Lee threatened. He quickly headed to the front where McAiken was standing and gave his first command. Lee dropped his broom to the ground and hovered his hand above the broom, "UP!" he said sharply. His broom obeyed and floated up into his grasp. |

"Excellent Lee, notice the tone and conviction in his voice. Without it you won't get the broom to rise to your hand. Be sure that you are calling your broom with your strongest hand. That is normally the hand you write with or use your wand with. This will allow you more control as you mount your broom. Now everyone try. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't rise on the first command." |
AJ smiled, she knew it was "up" to get the broom there, she just hadn't been fast enough, but now she was. she was ready for, she hoped, anything. she put her hand above her broom and looked at it, "UP!" she told it. nothing. "UP!" she said again, firmer this time, and the broom rose and hit her hand, she almost lost her footing. after steadying herself she smiled, and looked around to see how everyone else was doing. |

Relieved that she doesn´t have to wear a helmet, Drusilla picks a pair of gloves and goggles and her Krum´s Viktory 3000 and follows the Professor. She puts the gloves and goggles on. Hey, these doesn´t look so bad after all, she thinks to herself. And now I´m supposed to show some flying ... She´s a bit nervous, so she looks what Lee is doing to make sure she doesn´t make some silly mistakes. She sticks out her right hand over her broom. "Up!" she says with a firm voice. This is just the same as flying at home, no need to worry, she says to herself silently. Suddenly she giggles a bit. Professor McAiken has a funny way of saying her name ... She mounts from the ground and flies in circles for a while. How beautiful Hogwarts was seen from the sky, she thought. |
She queued to the line making sure she could see Lee and Drusilla clearly. She put her broom on the grass with care and bounced a little at Lee's threatening voice to the huffie. She watched him with attention getting his broom up in his hand and followed his movements. She hovered her hand over the broom and uttered "UP!". Nothing happened the broom was still on the ground. "UP!" she said again, more confident this time. The broom rose a little and fell down on the ground again. "UP!" she said again tensely not losing confidence and the broom came right in her hand. |
Now as Drusilla has shown you, after you command your broom into your hand, then you swing over one leg and mount it. Then with a solid push with your feet you should hover a few feet about the ground. I want you to only hover. We'll practice the mount and push off three times before trying to actually fly further up in the air. To set back down push the tip on the handle down and the broom with lower itself until your feet retouch the ground. Lee please show us again then take a monitoring position in the air with Drusilla, please." McAiken instrusted. |
Ghada looked at the proffesor and nodded she swung her leg of the broom and slowly pushed her broom off so she can hover Ghada waited for Lee was it she thought to take off. |
AJ swung her right leg over the broom and mounted, then added her left hand for balance and let her legs dangle, she was hovering about 3 or 4 feet off the ground. she dipped the tip of the broom down like instructed and her feet touched the ground. she set it back down, comanded up again, and repeated this 3 times and then waited, smiling, proud of herself that she could actually do this. |
Lee nodded and swung his right leg over the broom and positioned himself comfortably before slightly pushing himself from the ground, hovering nicely beside Drusila. |
james put a leg over his broom and kicked off the ground hard he flew 5,6 feet from the ground |
Siriana swung he leg over the broom and watched Lee again who showed them the way to hover. She pushed off the ground lightly and found herself hovering a little above the ground. She then pushed the tip of the handle down and her feet touched the ground again. She did this two more times and waited for further instructions. |
"Well done. Now once you are comfortable I want you to follow Lee and Drusilla around the pitch. Don't go to high just yet. They will lead you through some simple moves like circles, zig zags, and hovering in mid-air. Nothing to complicated. Keep your height low." McAiken instructed. They were now on their own in a simple sense. McAiken could and would prevent anyone from getting seriously injured by buffering their fall with charms. He took out his wand and watched the sky as the students flew for the first time. ooc: You may now freely post your practice flying. Please keep the RP realistic. I will leave the thread open for this practice for the bit then I'll post the homework. Well done to all. |
james waited in the air for lee so that he could follow him |
AJ mounted once more, kicked off, and flew to right behind Lee and waited for the trailing to begin. she flew about 10 feet off the ground and zoomed forward, every 10 feet or so she'd change directions, turning left and right, making herself turn around quickly, and stopping instantly.. all the practice last year really paid off, she thought and zoomed over to Phoebe. "this is fun, i love it!" she said squeeling happily and laughing at her own foolish-ness. |
Drusilla resisted the urge to fly around the castle and watched the younger students practice hovering. "They´re not doing bad, are they?" she said to Lee in a conversational tone, then suddenly heard McAiken to give further instructions. "I guess we are now supposed to lead the pack," she says flying lower in order to be at a safe level for the younger students. |
Lee smiled and zoomed off to his left, wondering if anyone was going to follow. He up'd his height slighty. |

Siriana made a solid push with her feet and started hovering a bit higher but not too high. She followed the older students to the left with a wide smile on her face. She knew she would like flying but this exceeded her expectations. She turned to AJ and Ghada smiling but watching carefully not to make any clumsy move and fall. |
