Fee made her way to the Flying Lesson.Last yesr it had been so fun and she was sure it would be this year. And besides that it was flying basics so the blonde would do pretty good seeing she was almost born on a broom and had flying lessons last year too. Poor firsties that never sat on a broom.It had been terrible for the ones of her year last term.
Arriving at the Quidditch pitch the Slytherin noticed that no one seemed to be here already. Was she too early?Maybe her clock was wrong.Mhhh, couldnbt take them too long to get down here right?!

Emily was walking fast. She was excited for her first Flying lesson!
Her sister had been great at flying, but the thought of getting too heigh made her nervous. She had never as much held a broom, let alone flown one.
She arrived at the pitch in awe. But... wait. Barley anyone was here!
Great. Plus, there were no seats. Was she allowed to sit on the ground?
She woudn't take that risk. She just stood there and looked at the sky.
They wouldn't be allowed to go too heigh, would they?

Finally it was the class that Lara was waiting for since school has began…..flying lesson. She waked up very early to get ready to this interesting lesson . As she got to the Quidditch pitch ,where the lesson takes place ,She smiled widely but then she thought that this may look a hit freaky so she got a grip on herself and controlled her smile.
So with steadily and confident steps she walked towards the professor and said with a calm sound “Hi Professor! How’re you today?” she said cheerfully.

Isobel walked on to the pitch. She knew how to fly obviously, but it never hurt to brush up on her skills. Plus, she should fly sometime before quidditch tryouts, since she was afraid of heights. Isobel stood uncertainly on the pitch, not many people were there yet. She gave the three other people a friendly smile, but she didn't approach them.

Zoe walked onto the field and stood next to a few other first years. Luckily for her, this wasn't her first time on a broom, like it was for some. She looked around her and noticed many nervous faces. She was nervous herself, but at least her uncle had taught her a couple things about flying, such as how to fall in a way where the least damage would be done

Annabelle walked onto the field. She wasn't nervous at all fo flying, she was excited. She always had to play quidditch with her brother and his friends, so she learned a few tips from them. She knew how to dive, but to improve on her skills and learn the rules will help for quidditch tryouts.

Jaina could not believe that she was ACTUALLY doing this. She was walking down to the pitch where they played this weird sport that she had NEVER heard of to learn how to fly on a broom. This made no sense to her. She figured she better get this over with. The only means of transportation she had was her feet.

Fourth Year |
Rubiey almost ran down to the Quidditch Pitch, unable to contain her excitment about getting back on a broom. She hadn't been on one since last term, because of all the family problems, but she actually couldn't wait. The feeling of the wind running through her hair, the rush of excitement as she hovered above the ground... Nothing was better.
As she got closer, she noticed another second year, and grinned jumping next to Fee. "Sup Bestie, no-one else here yet?" She asked, pulling a hair band off her wrist and tying her hair up in a scruffy bun and smiling.

Elektra hesitantly walked towards the Quidditch Pitch. She wasn't ready for flying at all. She gripped her broom tightly and she exhaled out slowly. She knew she was scared to fly. She wasscared of the thought that she wasn't going to be able to get down. And people thought she wanted to play Quidditch. Ha! Elektra tapped on her broom and began humming to get her mind off of things.

Belle saw Jania and was glad to see a familair face. "Jania!" she called out and waved to her. | |

Jamie walked out to the pitch and sighed. It was kind of cool out and she liked it. As she walked she stumbled over a rock and fell. Of course she'd choose now to be dysfunctional and trip. Hopefully she wouldn't fall off a broom.

Helena walked slowly to the Quidditch Pitch and noticed a few students there already. She was so nervous about this. What kind of Slytherin am I? she thought. Afraid to fly.

Professor Vindictus was leaning on the broom rack that held the school brooms and watched as the students slowly trickled into the lesson.
"Welcome to Flying! Please have a seat on the grass in front of me," he said cheerfully and he noticed a few students actually arrived with brooms.

As Rubiey tied her hair up, she noticed a first year trip over, and flashbacks of last year came flooding. She had been exactly the same, tripping over rocks and stuff. She smiled and held a hand out to the girl to help her up. "You alright there? Don't worry, I don't think anyone else saw." She said kindly. "I'm Rubiey, by the way." She said, still smiling.

Oh, flying class again. Evan had debated this for a while too, in his bed last night. The last time was good, in this class. And the practice with Sophie went alright as well. Still, he had this bugging feeling about brooms and anything that is related to it. He sighed, and before long, he was on the grass again, making his way to the pitch.
Smiling at the professor, he sat down in front of him, but not in the first line. He wouldn't like it if he was to fly first or something... | |

Vindictus motioned for the two students to come towards him. "Will the two of you please come over here for a moment?"

" Hello professor," said Helena as she sat down on the grass in front of him. " I'm sorry I didn't say hello earlier, I must have been... rude," she added blushing. " I just... didn't see you."
Aaah how could she not notice the professor?

Always have been." She smiled as she dusted off her clothes and said, "I'm Jamie. It's nice to meet you Rubiey." She heard the professor mention something about taking a seat so she chose a spot on a bit of comfortable ground. "Thanks again for the help." Quote:

Jamie looked at the brooms behind the Professor and kind of wish she hadn't left hers at home this year. "Hello Professor," she said smally. Maybe he wouldn't hear her. She only greeted her Professors now because she had been yelled at by the Potions Mistress and her head of house.

Elektra tapped on her broom and began humming to get her mind off of things. Violet walks towards the Quidditch Pitch with her normal happy attitude as always. She was rather excited for flying. Has she flown before? Yes, obviously at home on her mother's Abraxan, Belle; which means beautiful in French; but never had Violet ever ridden a broom before. But she was very intrigued to find out if it was any similar to riding an Abraxan. Violet sat Elektra and smiled eagerly walking over to her quickly. "Elektra this is going to be so much fun! Obviously I've never flown on a broom before, but I'm very excited to start today! How about you?" In her hand was a broom her father bought for her as a surprise before she left. On the end of the broom was a light purple bow tied onto it, that she added this morning before she left her dorm.

The Flying professor's a rather enthusiastic man, isn't he?
Per Vindictus' instructions, Sierra moved to take a seat on the ground in front of him. She didn't really know quite what to expect from a basic flying class, as she already knew how to fly. Brushing up on her skills wouldn't hurt, though, she supposed. Besides, this class may even help her get better with Quidditch skills, too. After all, the next try-out was only two days away.
She sat quietly, waiting for the lesson to begin, as Vindictus called two students to the front.

Vindictus gave Hugo a brief second to think. "You can pick up your broom when the lesson is over," he said and held out his hand.

Jaina saw Belle and was immediately relieved! She took a seat next to her in front of the professor. "Ok, so shall we make a bet as to whether or not I'm gonna fall off the broom before it even leaves the ground?" she laughed. Jaina had already proved herself clutzy, but this she was determined to not be clutzy in. Mainly because she didn't want to visit the nurse for something major.
