Default Flying Basics


Lesson #1: Flying Basics

When
Friday, 20 MAY @ 9pm EST to Sunday, 22 MAY @ 9pm EST

Where
The Quidditch Pitch

Who Can Attend
First years and anyone wishing to work on basic flying skills

What to Bring
School broomsticks will be provided



Professor Vindictus had returned to Hogwarts early that morning after being away for the past two weeks on school and official Quidditch business. He felt guilty about being absent for such a long time but now that he was back, he was determined to make up for lost time.

Leaning against the broom rack, he waited for the students to arrive for the very first Flying lesson of the school term.

Isobel heard her name and looked to see that is was Penny who had said her name. "Yeah, of course Penny. What do you need help with?" After all, she was here to help.

Savannah flew freely around the pitch. This just feels sooooo great! She doesn't care about anything right now, nothing! Not even her two annoying cats at home, not even school, not even the time when she embarrassed herself in front of her family at friends one time when she was small. Savannah ducked through people and did some loops around the field. No one can stop her now!

Penny wasn't sure where to begin... then thought maybe she should start at the end::: the stopping bit !!

"Well I wondered if you could maybe show me the correct way to stop, I mean stop in mid air....normally I just fly down to the ground, slow down and jump off"...

He was feeling the rush Selina talked about. The wind through his hair. This was amazing. Better than tryouts, where he had just sat in front of the goal. Well, the other one was better. Really fast-paced. But he went faster now. He wanted to go higher. It was great!

Grinning to herself the third year got her broom up and flew a few loopings.Oh yees that defintely was her fave thing to do when in the air. Her hair was all over her face and Fee giggled.
Hugo spotted a particular blonde. He smiled and flew towards her, and almost blocked her way. "Woops," he said smiling as he flew next to her. "I'm sorry! I'm Hugo by the way," he said and chuckled.

Isobel gave Penny a smile. "That's not really how you're supposed to stop." Well, she knew that, and that was why she had asked Isobel. So Isobel should get on to telling her. "I stop by pulling up slightly on the handle. But remember to be gentle; it you pull up too much you'll shoot upward." And you might fall off. That is a mistake you only make once.

Penny listened intently to Isobel, smiling cos she knew she'd been doing it wrong all this time.....

"ok so I pull up slightly on the handle... and it'll stop in mid air.?.? ...

So when i've stopped in mid air - is that called 'Hovering'?"


Penny felt slightly silly... hoping Isobel wouldn't think these stupid questions...

Nice look ! - smiled as Snake to Slytherin student this time. - Lesson Flying basic did itself own school way for birds. Even too efforts is not very good for snake.

Anasta waited, when Professor will give a few information more FOR HER and little homework for positive points.

Isobel nodded at Penny. "Yeah, try that. Fly over there and try stopping like that." Hopefully it would work. It usually did. "Yep, when you're not moving forward, but you're still in the air you're hovering."

Amy didn't like flying. Nope. It made her feel dizzy, sick and scared all in one hog. She used to like flying..until she flew into a wall. She'd been shaken ever since. Flying was her nemisis. It was wrong, and yet for some unknown and almost godforsaken reason she'd signed up for Quiditch. Words would never make sense. Well, she liked flying, she liked flying for fun, like in Quiditch. That was why

Heh? Amy was trapped in her own self pity when a voice popped up next to her, she turned, oh hai Amy grinned, despite her wobbly sensation in her tummy. Ewww. I'm , uh, uh, right, yeah she forgot her name for a few seconds, I'm Amy Amy nodded suddenly remembered. Nope she commented, I uh, don't like flying. At all. Especially not with him she jabbed her finger towards the professor before grabbing back onto the broom

Uh, no not really Penny Amy nodded steely. I don't like flying. I certainly don't like flying when there's a wind she nodded again. Still clinging to her broom. How long do I have to stay up here? She whined. Oh. Amy never whined, it was a sign of her desolation. Booo

Why were people asking her if she was alright, the squeal should of stated it, plus her shaking hands, it should of been obvious she didn't like flying. Well not in a wind. She liked flying and she'd loved the tryouts but she didn't like that she was being glared at from the group by stooopid Vindictucus.

Vindictus in name, vindictious in nature.

Nah, I'm, I'm okay Amy nodded, sort of, uh, how do you speed up? She asked, so she could know what never to do

Penny did as Isobel instructed..and flew bout five feet away.... then concentrating with all her might, pulled the handle up really gently..and stopped !!!..

"oh my goodness... it worked, oh thank you"

Penny flew back to Isobel and stopped again....this was very cool - she'd actually learned something really important today..

"So, my last question is this...When I want to land...Do i stop like three feet of the ground and jump off or what?"

Ella smiled a little. 'How come nobody likes him?' She nodded down towards him. He didn't seem so bad.. oh no.. he deducted points form this girl for erm.. shouting at the broom...

Shaking her head, she looked back a Amy. 'I can stay with you, if you like..'

Because he's a jar Amy nodded definatley, besides he just doesn't like me, I stepped on his toe in the first year and flew a broom into a wall in my second year Amy shrugged, he just, doesn't like me, she nodded, she clung to her broom but seeing as it wasn't being as violent or cruel she was staying on, sure, she grinned at her, race you? She asked, slowly getting her confidence off her head

Ella frowned, pouting slightly. 'Eurgh. That's not on if they're the only reasons he doesn't like you..'
She grinned. Amy seemed a bit happier. 'Sure!' She bit her lip. Merh.. she was probably saying bye-bye to a few House Points if Professor saw them..

"Selina, can you show me a few moves?" she asked flushing a bit. Selina was a Chaser, and Kurumi had been trying out for a different position, but any thing would help her improve seeing as the only 'trick' she knew was how to fly in a straight line.
Selina smiled at Kurumi who was radiating confidence on her broom at the moment. Her grip on the handle was more relaxed and she seemed less tense being higher in the air. It was a nice change to see in Kurumi who had, only a few weeks ago, been flying through the air with both of her arms and legs wrapped around the broomstick, "You look like you're doing better than alright," Selina said.

When she asked for tips Selina thought long and hard. What moves could she show a Beater. True she had taught Elektra that position over the summer, but the main challenge with Elektra was not swinging her bat around to knock people off their broomsticks.

She supposed the best trick she could teach her that was more flying than a specific position was the Woollongong Shimmy. It was her Dad's most famous move, "Alright yeah I can teach you something. Have you ever heard of the Woollongong Shimmy?"

Zara looked at two girls who seemed to be very concerned for her. She flew over to them, "Hey. It's all good. I'm fine. It's just that a letter flew straight into my face, so I couldn't see. That's why I was shaking my head, hoping to get it out. But Sarah helped me and got it out." She explained and smiled, hoping it ended their worries.

No, well Vindictus is a stoopid git Amy nodded, grinning, he just doesn't like anyone who hurts his brooms, even if it was on total accident, she shrugged, before she spotted Vinny the professor on the ground, glaring around. Yeah, actually, ignore me, I'd rather not lose anymore points she grinned, he like La Flame took any opurtunity to do that or shove her in detention.

Stupid teachers

How that was possible she didn't know. Urgh. Stupid man.

Pfft. Jar head. It was just being dumb, her broom responded perfectly well to her, this school broom was just horrible, dumb and had no brain.

And she LOST points because it was being stupid she opened her mouth to complain but prompty shut it again. Stupid man she finished in her head, still glaring at the floor and the broom. She wasn't apologising. Nope. Because she had been victimised by a grumpy teacher. Stupid man.

Up she said to the broom her angry tone slipping out in a slight hiss.

Oh for gods sake...

Up! She commanded grumpily and firmly. Thank god, she sighed as it arrived in her hand



Amy followed the stupid man's instructions mutely. She really hated this man, and this lesson and this BROOM!

And if it even dared to take an inch off the ground it would soon find itself in two. She was deadly serious



Oh. He wasn't serious. No, he was bullying her. She hated heights. She hated flying. She hated Vindictus. Although...Isobel was here, and she liked Isobel, Isobel wasn't abusive towards younger people like the so called "professor". Stupid man.

None the less she wasn't staying on the ground on her own. She mounted her broom and flew up.

Too quickly

ARRGHHH MYYY GAWWWDDD! She squealed before she took control of the tempermental broom and slowled it down

Penny watched Ella fly, and just knew that this girl was good...."Your a really good flier", said Penny, clearly impressed by the moves of both Daisy & Ella..

It was wrong, and yet for some unknown and almost godforsaken reason she'd signed up for Quiditch. Words would never make sense. Well, she liked flying, she liked flying for fun, like in Quiditch. That was why

Heh? Amy was trapped in her own self pity when a voice popped up next to her, she turned, oh hai Amy grinned, despite her wobbly sensation in her tummy. Ewww. I'm , uh, uh, right, yeah she forgot her name for a few seconds, I'm Amy Amy nodded suddenly remembered. Nope she commented, I uh, don't like flying. At all. Especially not with him she jabbed her finger towards the professor before grabbing back onto the broom



Uh, no not really Penny Amy nodded steely. I don't like flying. I certainly don't like flying when there's a wind she nodded again. Still clinging to her broom. How long do I have to stay up here? She whined. Oh. Amy never whined, it was a sign of her desolation. Booo



Why were people asking her if she was alright, the squeal should of stated it, plus her shaking hands, it should of been obvious she didn't like flying. Well not in a wind. She liked flying and she'd loved the tryouts but she didn't like that she was being glared at from the group by stooopid Vindictucus.

Vindictus in name, vindictious in nature.

Nah, I'm, I'm okay Amy nodded, sort of, uh, how do you speed up? She asked, so she could know what never to do

"So, my last question is this...When I want to land...Do i stop like three feet of the ground and jump off or what?"


Oakey starred down at the the other flyers. He wasn't being helped...

Good thought Oakey That just means I'm a good at this. Oakey still wanted to learn something though. He knew Harvey hadn't taught him everything so that he could learn it on his own.

Oakey continued to stare at each and everyone of the other students when one caught his eye. It was that Dino Lady who was yelling at her broom before (causing his house to lose points). She didn't seem to have good control of her broom. Lucky for her Isobel and Penny came by, Isobel started to instruct them on flying techniques.

Oakey was now really bored just people watching from his broom he lowered himself to the girls. Hi Girls! Oakey spoke up hoping to grab their attention.

Aurora sat on her broom, flying warily around, scowling. She could point it in the right direction but she just preferred to walk. She knew all she needed was to bring up her confidence but she'd rather not.

Rosemary smiled softly, "Only looking out for one of my new friends!"

Ariella pushed off the ground and flew around in the air. She loved the feeling of flying--the wind whipping her hair and stinging her eyes. She did some circles and dips with a huge smile on her face. As she hovered above the ground, she watched some of the other students on their brooms.

"So...instead of chopping my ingredients I need to blend them..." she said more to herself than to Simon, or anyone for that matter.

She supposed it was also a confidence issue as well that contributed to all the jerkiness of her movements. Looking back at Simon, she smiled at the captain with a small hint of confidence.

"Thank Simon, I think...I think I can try and make a proper loop around the pitch now."
Simon couldn't help smiling as he watched Kurumi try to digest his information and finally spoke with a fitting analogy to make sure she got it right. "Exactly," he said with a nod, "That and relaxing a bit more and you'll be fine. You're doing well already Kurumi," the captain assured her with a smile.

"You're certainly welcome," he said, nodding at her words and making a mental note to keep the occasional eye on her anyway. The boy watching as she flew away before taking a short fly of his own to see if anyone else around needed his assistance.

"H-Hi," she greeted as her broom wobbled a bit.

*Wobble*

She tried not to choke the poor broom by holding tighter on to it, but the wobbling wasn't helping at all. "Okay...so, I kind of need a few tips," she said, smiling sheepishly. Her daddy was one of the best flyers ever and here she was, asking for flying tips.

Oh, the shame.
The seventh year had flown for a bit before coming to a stop smoothly and looking around from his new perch. It wasn't long before a Slytherin girl joined him and after listening to her speak and a second glance, Simon realized that it was the young girl from the ship.

"Well you've already managed the first things...taking off and having the courage to attempt flying up here," he replied with a smile. The willingness to try was always a good thing to have. "Relaxation a little of your hold would be a good tip but for now if it makes you more comfortable keep it up until you get more steady on the broom." The Gryffindor captain thought for a moment on what else could be needed.

"How about we try some level flying now....I can fly beside you if you want. I promise not to go fast."

Yeah, actually, ignore me, I'd rather not lose anymore points she grinned, he like La Flame took any opurtunity to do that or shove her in detention.

Stupid teachers
Ella peered down at him. 'Aha!' Ella sighed. 'This is boring meeee!' Ella let her legs hand down loosley, swinging them slightly she was suprised at how much balance and nerve she still had.

Amy turned as she saw Boggart dude, Oakey she grinned at him, she hoped he wouldn't get all annoyed for losing points. As in her defence, she wasn't the only one who was shouting, there was a fifth year who'd been even louder. If that was possible

Yeah Amy nodded knowlegabley, just don't damage the broom and you'll stay on his good side. Normally this would be the cue for her broom to ram her into a wall, or a post, but not today, she held it down firmy. She didn't know if it was possible for 50 points to be lost, but Vinny would deffinatley try. Same, Amy nodded, her eyes widening at the little person's chutzpah. Are you mental? Amy asked, you might fall and then Vinny would definatley punish you before taking you to hospital.

But honestly, she wanted to be able to do that. It was cool
