Frances was jumping slightly, excited. Tenuka was starting to shake. "You okay Tenuka?" Frances asked. Tenuka nodded going very pale as the teacher started handing out brooms to the first years; glaring at those who already had brooms. "Ten points from each house." she said sternly. "First years are NOT allowed their own brooms!" Tenuka was too scared to even groan with the rest of the Gryffindors.
"That is SO not fair!" Robyn said quietly to Jake. "I'm the only Slytherin with their own broom, and i'm on the team, so I can hardly ride the horrid crappy school one's can I!" "Well go tell her that!" Jake replied. Robyn nodded and ran towards the teacher. "Um, Professor, I don't think it's fair that you took points off Slytherin. Seeing as i'm the only Slytherin with a broom, it's okay." Seeing the teachers look she added - "I'm on the team." The teacher [who i've forgoten the name of] rolled her eyes and gave Slytherin back their points.
"I don't like the look of that girl. . . " Frances whispered quietly to Tenuka. Who nodded in reply.
"On with the lessons then!" she said loudly.

Sophia had given Meally a conspiratorial grin before the teacher had arrived. "Just a bit of nack passed down." Now however, she was scowling secretly at the teacher, but paying attention to what she was saying all the same.

"For those of you who do not know how to fly, you must first master your broom." Prof Pinch said. Tenuka shivered, even though it was a warm day and the sun was shining. "Place your broom on the floor, stick your right hand over the handle and say up!" she continued.
Robyn placed her broom on the floor, said up, and it whizzed into her hand.
Frances eagerly put her's on the floor and said up in a comanding sort of way. It flew slowly into her outstretched hand. "Excellent Frances!" Pinch said smiling.
Tenuka was having trouble placing the broom on the floor.

Sophia's broom was up a fraction of a second later than Robyn's, this made her pout ever so slightly in anger, but it soon dissipated from the prospect of flying soon.
Lukas watched as most of the people around him struggled to make their brooms move any faster than snails pace. that tutor that daddy hired really is paying off wonderfully he thought smugly to himself as his broom planted itself firmly in his hand at the command.
Tanya giggled with Clair at how pitiful her attempts were, but was secretly bothered that most of the other students seemed far more competent than her.

Jake was struggling to get his broom into his hand. "Up!!!" he said, willing it desperately to rise suddenly into his hand. But it didn't. His shoulders slouched and his shouts of up grew less and less enthusiastic. "With force Jake!" Robyn said happily.
Tenuka said up very quietly, but the broom rolled to the left slightly. "Hey, yours moved!" Frances said encouragingly.

Clair was also giggling. Hers was moving so slowly upwards you wouldn't think it was moving. "Look it's getting closer!" she said giggling. Her concentration slipped, and it fell back onto the floor. She and Tanya burst into new sets of giggles.

"I'm- gonna- split!" Tanya managed between fits of laughter at their failures. "UpUpUpUpUp!" She called jokingly to her broom, holding out her hand in a pretentious manner, mocking Lucas's smug face.

Clair also did an impression of Lukas. Then broke down in more giggles.
After a few more failed tries, her concentration finally held and the broom made it's way ever so slowly into her hand. "Yes! I did it!" she said loudly. "Calm down please Miss. Roberts.[clair]" Prof Pinch said.

Tenuka said up again, less shakily, but the broom just stayed still. In desperation she bent down and picked it up. But as soon as she stood straight again, the broom snapped vertically and hit her in the face. Then it gently floated back down again. "Stupid broom!" Tenuka said pressing into her forehead with her hand.
