Ugh. Why did all of the others seem to know everything about flying and none of them petrified?!?! Keeley sighed, gazing around at the sky trying to stay positive. Well, at least it wasn't raining, there's a plus.

Zoe nervously raised her hand from her grassy seat and hesitantly replied, "If you are distracted while flying you could possibly run into something or maybe someone else that is stationary or flying. I guess that if you were distracted long enough you could also get lost. I think that injury is probably the most serious reason though, Professor."

As soon as she finished another thought occurred to her and her hand shot up again. "You could also fly where muggles could see you, sir."

Vindictus listened to each of their answers and nodded in agreement. "Very good answers, each of you. Two points to each of you who volunteered their answers." He rolled up the poster and tossed it on the ground behind him. "Now, let's focus on safe flying today and not on who can show off their skills." It was said firmly and almost as a warning. Don't show off or else.

"Everyone - please grab a broom and line up on the white line," he said and the line appeared on the grass. "If you're not to keen on heights, grab one of the harnesses, too."

Pleased that she'd answered appropriately and earned herself some points, LouAnn stepped forward, grabbed a broom, and took a stand on the white line. She decided against the harness, for she wasn't that bad at flying...just a little rusty, as she'd thought before. A few tries here and there, and she should be back in the air and flying like a normal witch in no time. Although, the image on that poster stayed in her mind while she waited for the next set of instructions. Hopefully that image wouldn't be what she'd look like anytime soon!

Bella was an average height for her age, short, so she decided to take a broom, and was thinking about taking a harness, but decided not to, she's read books about how to sit right on a broom, so she thought she'd be good. She then went over to the white line with the others.

Oh Lord, help me now! Keeley felt dread weighing her down as she got a broomstick, and definately a harness. Trudging to the white line, she could swear that she saw her life flash before her eyes, being a bit overdramatic onn this particular fear. She stared around at the students, praying that someone else woul be just as afraid as she was herself.

Carter eagerly jumped up. He grabbed a broom and lined up behind the white line. This was going to be such a new experience for him.

Professor Vindictus walked over to a few of the students who grabbed harnesses but they didn't look green at the prospect of flying more than four inches above ground. "Are you sure you need the harness? I only recommend it to those who suffer from acrophobia or aviatophobia."

Tibi looked up at Professor Vindictus. "I... I don't know what those words mean, sir, but I'm scared of heights and worried I'm going to fall. Can I keep it, please?"

Tibi's lip trembled as he looked up at the man. "Please?"

"I'm not really sure what those words mean," Keeley said, growing a bit red, wishing she was as smart as some fellow Ravvies. "But I have some anxiety issues, and I really would prefer the harness." she said, her hair turning neon green with worry.

"That's okay, but the use of a harness is up to you," he replied and hurried over to a worried Tiberius.

"Of course you can, Tibi," Vindictus replied and patted the boy on the shoulder. "I'd like for you to partner up with one of the older students today. Would you like that?"

He looked over at the older Ravenclaw boy and grinned. "Plymouth! Can you come over here for a moment?"

Zoe was standing on the white line and gently picked up a broom. She stood there staring at the harness for a moment unsure of whether to get one. Then she heard the professor advise the harnesses only for those with extreme fears and she put away thoughts of extra safety equipment.

Nervously she started gnawing on her lower lip. She had been on a broom before, but only at home and never in front of this many people.

"Partner, sir?" Tibi's face showed his confusion. But maybe the older student would keep him from falling?

"Yes, Professor, I think I'd like that." Think, being the operative word. Tibi had no idea if it was a good thing or not, but if the professor suggested it, it couldn't be terrible, right?

"acrophobia means scared of heights and aviatophobia means, i think, frightened when flying," Bella said hoping it was ok to tell them, not getting in trouble

Jecca is a bit afraid of hieghts but still she finds ways how to overcome her phobia, she grabbed a broom and lined up on the white line. "Relax, Jecca, You can to this!!! " she whispered to herself (trembling).

Fred was glad he had given a good ananswer seeing as he knew Gryffindor needed all the points anyone from the house could earn at this point cause they were in dead last and he was happy he could contribute. After this thought he went over and grabbed a school broom and waited at the white line. He could'nt wait to get started cause regardless how embarassed he felt after all these years he was finally gonna get to learn how to fly at his in own pace after all these years and thats all that mattered to him.

Almost jumping up and down in excitement. Why he's not sure, because everything else has scared him. Looking at the mentioned harnesses' he shakes his head.

Somehow, he knew he would not need one.

Keeley's fear grew larger and stronger every second of standing on that dang whitw line, but she needed to calm down. She attempted this, but realising that it was a failed attempt, she turned to the boy next to her, who looked just as nausious and said "Hi, I'm Keeley," trying to sound as calm as possible, another failure. On top of that her eyes were flashing different colors a mile a minute, giving away her anxiety.
