Lesson 2: Flying and Brooms

Eponine stood in front of her class, smiling cheerfully like usual. As the last of her students arrived, she began the lesson.

"Today, we're going to learn how to actually fly the brooms today. But first, can anyone name a specific model of broom?" Eponine waited for her students to call out.

Aylee walked over to the pitch, not very ready. Brooms made her nervous and she hated heights. When she arrived, she heard the Professor say that they were going to fly brooms. Calm down... she told herself. Then, when she heard the Professor ask a question, Aylee slowly raised her hand. But she decided against it for it might be the wrong answer and everyone might laugh at her.

Rebecca ran towards were the lesson would be held, hoping that she wasn't late. When she arrived, she realized that it was only her, the Professor and a Ravenclaw girl she didn't know. Shrugging, she waited for everyone else to arrive.
Then, as Professor Fortescue asked the first question, Rebecca immediately knew the answer. At Summer, her mother used to take her to her cousins' home and they would always play Quidditch so this was very easy.
"Comet 260!" Rebecca exclaimed.

Sydney remembered all of the information she learned from her brothers about brooms and quidditch. “There’s the Firebolt. The fastest broom ever!” She smiled to herself and felt proud with her answer.

Severine called out, "Nimbus 2000!" and smiled smugly

Eponine nodded, pleased with her students knowledge on brooms. "5 points to each of you." She said, beaming. "There is also the Cleansweep Five, Cleansweep Eleven, and the Nimbus 2001. The school brooms are all Cleansweep Fives, which means they aren't as great as the rest of them. The order from not-so-great brooms to the best broom goes like this: Cleansweep Five, Comet 260, Cleansweep Eleven, Nimbus 200, Nimbus 2001, and the Firebolt. The better your broom the fasters and more stable you are while up in the air."

Eponine mounted her broom, which was a Firebolt. "Okay, everyone mount your brooms just how I did and follow me. We're going to do a couple of laps around the pitch." She sped away, looking over her shoulder to make sure her students were following her.

OOC: Have your characters follow Eponine to the best of their ability. As long as they're up in the air for at least a minute or two, RP how you wish.

Spencer whooped and mounted his broom with ease, flying with perfection- at least, he thought it was perfection. He laughed with confidence as the air whipped through his hair.

Rebecca felt super confident when the Professor told them to mount her brooms. She did it perfectly; of course, she had gotten a whole summer of practise! Grinning, she flew up in the air and followed the Professor. It was great to feel the wind in her face again.
What a lovely feeling! Rebecca would think every time she would fly.

Auden mounted her broom with ease. Auden loved flying. She flew up and started following the Professor. Auden needed this. She hadn't flew in a while and it relaxed her. Auden kept following the Professor and loving the wind flowing in her face.

Aylee felt a bit scared as she mounted the nearest broom. Would she be able to fly? Nervous, she began to fly a little. She rose a few feet in the air and then fell down.
"Ouch!" she muttered as she stood up.
The young girl tried to mount it again and managed to stay on it for a few minutes, following the Professor. After one lap, Aylee fell down again.
"Ugh!" she exclaimed as she stood up again.

Sydney easily mounted her broom and hovered slightly in the air. When she felt comfortable with that she flew off after her teacher. She felt proud and confident on the broom. The only other time she felt this way was with her music. She giggled and focused on flying. She looked abck down at Aylee and saw she was struggling. She shouted back down to her, "You ok, Aylee?"
