Alright, four lollipops down and three to go. Shouldn't be that hard, right? RIGHT? And some people were already finished O__O Ella had some serious work to do. She decided to fly towards the middle of the pitch and do a small loop, hoping to find another pair of lollipops that were pretty close together. While she was circling, she heard a voice speaking to her.



Oh! It was Witsy...the Gryffindor girl! "Hi Wisteria." She called, smiling. "Oh, only since the start of last term. I'm only second year." And she continued to look down at the ground, hoping to add two more lollipops to her bucket. "You?" Not that she really had much time to chat, she was on a mission. She really wanted to finish so she could enjoy the sugary treats. And then Witsy was saying exactly what was on Ella's mind. O__O Was she a mind reader? "I think I heard Professor Vindictus say we could keep what we got!...so that means we'd better get even more!" And with that the second year was off, headed slowly towards the ground, as she had just set her eyes on a pair of lollipops. Blue and green and quite close together! YES!

As she flew towards them, Ella stuck out her tongue in concentration, eyes wide. Oh please.please.please. And she was leaning again, though at least this time she didn't have to stretch her arm as far! The blonde extended her fingers and wrapped them around the lollipops, pulling as hard as she could and... WICKED. Two more lollipops!

Ella dropped them into her bucket and eyed her inventory. Six pops down, one to go. She could totally finish up soon and get off this splintery broom! Mhmm!

Yay! Sarah descended on her broom, again using circling the pitch to make her lower. She detached her bucket from her broom and took her lollipops out -then she put her broom in the broom rack and stacked her pail on the pile. "Thank you for the lesson and the lollipops" said Sarah to the flying teacher. She then quickly left the field, not wanting any students that were still airborne to land on her.

One more to go. Just one. Ella could almost taste the lollipops and she was super eager to get the last one so she could skip off somewhere on the grounds and enjoy them! YUM.

The second year headed towards the right side of the pitch, hoping to spot some of the delicious treats. Only it was quite hard, especially because many of the other students had finished. Having had no luck there, she then transitioned slowly to the left, picking up speed (as much as one could on a medieval broom). Below her, there didn't seem to be too many good options left. The lollipops she did see were quite small and didn't look like they would be particular easy to remove from the ground. She would have to circle around again in search of a better target.

...

And on her THIRD circle, Ella spotted it. A BIG green lollipop just waiting to be grabbed. It was in a particularly green spot of grass too, perhaps the reason no one else had gone for it. Hehehe. Good thing Ella had really good eyes! With a wide smile, she headed towards the lollipop, making sure to decrease her speed gradually as she got closer to the ground. And then she was right in front of it, and it was coming up fast. EEP! She had to just...reach out...a little to grab it...OOOF.

O__O

Well she had got the lollipop...but the second year had also tumbled off her broom. Luckily, the bucket remained filled with lollipops and unharmed, laying on its side in the grass a few feet away. Ugh. Not the smoothest landing ever but still...SHE HAD FINISHED!

Walking over to the ancient broom and bucket, Ella dropped the seventh lollipop in and headed towards the broom rack.

Once there, Ella emptied the bucket of lollipops and stuffed her pockets, a wide grin on her face. Next she stacked the bucket on the others before placing the ancient splinter giving broom back in its rightful place. Peace out, medieval death trap! See you nevz!

And then she was off, skipping towards the castle, but not before offering Vindictus a farewell. "Bye Professor! Thanks for the lollis!" ...and about a bazillion and one splinters.

Laura hated this broom, hopefully when she could get some more lollipops she could try and escape this lesson and make sure that she never ever rides one of these brooms again, she hated them and she would make sure that she told everyone how bad these broom where, Laura tried to get a couple of lollipops but she couldn't do it.

Nigel decided to do the Lollipops one at a time. He felt it would be easier for him then trying to catch two at a time. He was no seeker.

He flew down and picked up one lollipop with no problem. It was little easy but he still had to collect three more and he did not know if he could before class ended.

Ok now he had only three left to do. He could do this.
