As she heard the sound of the whistle sound underneath her, Vanessa pulled at her broom to get it to slow down, so that she could change direction, this would probably have been easier if she was a little bigger. After a few seconds, or maybe minutes more like she was able to change the direction the broom was heading, and zoomed of in that direction.

AAAH! the whistle! Tobi stopped and made a hard left so as to give the broom the old 180.

He found himself almost directly in the face of Maddox with 10 feet to go before a collision. on a racing broom, that is a BAD thing!

AAAH! He swerved! He avoided! Phew!

Maddox was zooming through the air on his Firebolt 500. It was the best thing ever in existance of brooms! When he heard the professor's whistle he halted his broom, which stopped perfectly in mid air, then whipped around and flew in the opposite direction, dodging the other students, and whipping so quickly past them that he was just a blur.

Cale heard the whistle and stopped so abruptly, he nearly flew off his broom. This broom braked a LOT faster than his previous one! Darn, he couldn't believe he had forgotten to check that when he was practicing at home! Turning as fast as he possibly could without giving himself whiplash, he managed to turn himself around and started heading in the opposite direction.

Anna didn't need to be told twice that she needed to take off and begin warming up. At the sound of Professor Vindictus' directions, Anna mounted her broom and took off into the air. She began to fly around and around the pitch, trying to warm up the best she could before the next portion of the lesson began.

As she continued warming up, Anna listened to Professor Vindictus give additional directions. At the sound of his whistle, the students were to stop, turn around, and take off into the opposite direction. That shouldn't be too difficult to do. Anna continued flying in the direction she'd started out in, all the while waiting and listening for the whistle to blow. Finally, the whistle sounded. Anna immediately pulled back on her broom, causing it to stop in mid-air. She then steered her broom to where it would turn in the opposite direction. Soon enough, she was flying around the pitch in the opposite direction than the one she'd started in.

Jenn gasped when she saw a boy about her age, dangling under his broom. Zooming over she halted right under him. "Trying fliping back up!"she said, flying up to be right by him. "I'll try to help. Or better yet, I'll go get the professor!" and with that, she was flying quickly to Professor Vindictus. Landing quickly she ran to the Professor, panting slightly. "Professor Vindictus! A boy is hanging upside down and needs some help I think!"she said, still panting.

"Theo! Quit showing off that Starfish on a Stick move!" Vindictus shouted and brought the whistle to his lips. TWEET!

Theo tried to turn around to look at the Professor, "Ok. I won't Sir." At least that was better than him falling off. He tried to swing back up the right way, but couldn't, "Erm Professor can you help me? I only have little arms. I can't right myself."

Mariel had slowed somewhat as she heard the professor's instructions. The last thing she needed was to be startled by a whistle when she was flying 50 feet above the ground, so she flew a bit slower in anticipation. As she listened for it, she saw a figure flying past her and waving. Was that Jenn? She hadn't seen her in ages, but she didn't have time to give it much thought as the young Ravenclaw then heard the shrill whistle.

Leaning back and taking use of the braking charm, Mariel came to a complete stop, hovering in the air. Taking a deep breath, she leaned hard to the side, turning in the opposite direction but brushing Nancy's foot with the tail of her broom in the process. "Sorry," she called to the girl next to her, hoping the little bump wouldn't mess the girl up.

She sped up slightly as she leaned forward, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Nancy was still alright, then she noticed Vindictus reprimanding a Slytherin boy. Darn, they weren't allowed to practice any Keeper moves. No sooner did she have that thought when she heard the whistle again. Slowing to a stop, she managed to turn her broom without bumping into anyone this time. Although it did help that there was no one next to her.

Nancy's eyes were fixated on Theo who was still sort of dangerously dangling from his broom while contemplating over whether or not to go help him. Her decision was made by some young Ravenclaw girl who halted next to Theo and immediately called for help, which meant for Nancy that there was no need for her to help the little boy anymore. But gee!, screaming for the professor! It wasn't that bad but whatever. Rolling her eyes Nancy continued to glance at Theo and the girl due to the fact that she wanted to know what they were going to do which resulted in a belated reaction to Professor Vindictus' whistling, though. Eep! As quickly as possibly Nancy drew her attention away from the two and threw her broom around to be able to fly off into the other direction.

Tobi Stopped. Looked, Where's Theo? Hehehe! There he is! Oh Yikes!!! People coming at me! People coming at me!

Tobi turned his broom frantically but over did it. he headed back into the pack of thee students coming at him in something of a haphazard Hawkshead Attacking Formation.

EEEE! Tobi dived under the first student, and flew around the second, and over the third.

Exhilarating!

Stopping abruptly once again, but not as hard as the last time, he came to a complete halt when he heard the whistle. He turned once more, a lot smoother than the last time now that he had warmed up, and started flying in the opposite direction once more. This was EASY. Woot!

As the whistle blew again, Vanessa pulled at her broom handle, hoping to get the broom to stop more faster this time, which would allow her to change directions quicker.
Unfortunatly, her lack in height was still against her, and although the duration it took to for the broom to stop was quicker, it still could be improved. After quickly switching directions she zoomed off again.

The whistle blew again. Maddox stopped, extremely smoothly, and then wizzed off into the opposite direction. If he went any faster he might be considered a rocket.

Qaz pulled up quick at the sound of the whistle and banked sharply to the left. All of the Quidditch practice was really paying off. She did a fairly good job at manuevering, but decided that it was still wise to try to keep some distance between herself and the others.

Jenn just shook her head and jumped back onto her broom and flew in the direction everyone else was flying.

Her thoughts where on other things and she almost bumbed into the female gryffindor prefect. More like perfect. Jenn thought, smiling slightly. "Sorry about that!"she yelled as she passed the prefect she almost ran into.

Hearing the whistle, Terry braked to a momentary pause, hastily checking around him that there WASN'T another student right behind him. How painful would a faceplant right into another student be? Eh, he didn't even want to think about it. WOOT. All paths clear. Flicking his wrists, he spun around in the air, then continued zooming along in the opposite direction.

After getting on her broom, she takes off. After doing a lap around the stadium, she hears a sharp whistle, and turns around to start flying the opposite direction around the stadium.

She changed directions so fast it made her wobble little bit on her broom and she gripped her handle tighter. "Come on Greenwood." She chided her self. She was a little rusty on a the broom. She was used to riding carpets. She put on some more speed as she zoomed around Cale and Tobi.

TWEEEEEEEET! Vindictus blew the whistle again.

Half way through the 2nd lap around, Liz hears another whistle. Doing a quick turn she zooms off again.

Jenn groaned slightly as she heard the whistle again. Turning around quickly on her broom she turned in the other direction, luckly missing other students. She grumbled silently to herself. When where they doing other stuff? she wondered. I mean going around in circles is very fun, and dogding other students like bludgers is even better but....she trailed off from her thoughts as she dodged another student who hadn't turned yet.

Gritting her teeth Nancy frowned slightly at her last turn which had been reaaaallly late due to her not concentrating properly. But next time was going to be loads better! Duh. And there was the whistle again! With a determined look on her face the third year threw her broom around, trying to make it just perfect this time, apparently without decerating enough, though, which resulted in her losing control over her broom. "Whoaaaa!" She shouted as she gripped the broom even tighter in one last desperate try to regain control over where she was going, without much success, though. Nancy quickly closed her eyes as she saw a figure coming closer and closer and rapid speed which was definitely going to collide with her. Help!!!

Qaz heard the whistle blow and pulled up hard. This time she made her turn to the right. She still wasn't going extremely fast, but fast enough to know that she'd do herself serious injury if her hands slipped.

Vanessa smirked to herself as she heard the whistle blow again, she was determined this time, to change direction quicker. Leaning in closer to her broom, she pulled on the handle, successfully slowing down the broom to a pace where she was able to switch around direction.
Smiling triumphantly, she quickly zoomed off, in the new direction. She quite liked this exercise, it would make her reflexes quicker for quidditch.
