Sparrow saw that Ginelle was introducing Ammy to the basics of flying. She grinned and left them be. She mounted her broom and sped straight up into the sky. She decided to just take it easy and sped around the pitch working on speed.

 A little awkwardly, Amelia straddled the broom. The first time she kicked off, all she did was kick the grass behind her. With another try, coupled with an "Up" she managed to get off the ground. Once in the air she tried to get it to lower, without tipping it forward into a dive. An involuntary gasp came from her when she shifted, for a moment falling, but then in her stern voice she repeated, "Down now please," to which the broom obeyed slowly. She had to tell it "Enough" in order to keep it at a hover level with Ginny. Glancing up at her new friend she asked, "Was that okay?" her voice breathless with excitement.

Ginelle had a huge grin on her face. She was having a good time teaching Amelia to fly on her broom, and she hoped that this was the start of a new friendship for Ginelle. She was never a very popular kid, due to her mothers stories, and she never really had friends. This was a great feeling for Ginelle. "You're doing really good! Now, try it again with more confidence. You've got this. If you fall, I'm right here to catch you. As long as you don't go too high, you should be safe." Ginelle hopped off her broom again, and walked over to Amelia's side. She was checking her position and hands on the broom. "One thing that will help is if you are a little further back on the broom. You seem to be a little too close to the top of the broom, and that may be what is putting you off balance. Try it like this." Ginelle got on her broom and showed Amelia where to put her hands, and where to sit on the broom.

Amelia tried to slide back down, but failing, had to get off the broom and climb back on lower. She gave a glance at Ginny then back at herself, to see how similar they were. Seemed pretty close to her. Once more she kicked off, and this time she lowered into a hover much quicker than before. She wasn't holding still, instead swaying back and forth, but that was due to the broom's desire to throw her off.

"You're doing really good! This is your first time, correct? She asked. Ginelle didn't realize it when she first heard about the sport, but she had flown on a broom before when she was very young. That may be how she knew what to do. It was like that old muggle saying: Once you know how to ride a bike, you never forget. Maybe Ginelle had more experience with magic than she ever remembered.

Turning to look at Ginelle again, Amelia nodded, "Yeah," and with that break in her concentration the broom dropped down, causing her to land hard on her hands and knees, the broom still between. Cursing she stood up slowly, knowing she'd get bruising from the impact and straddled again, "It takes a lot of concentration doesn't it?" she asked trying to smile away her mistake.

"It does at first, but then it comes very naturally once you get the hang of it." She kept watching Amelia. She was really doing a good job.

After going around the pitch a bunch of times, Sparrow felt much better. She began to pick it up some and then went into a spiraling dive straight down. She felt free and like her self again. All the stresses of life gone and she could relax. Sparrow continued to spiral downwards toward the ground.

Amelia murmured, "I wouldn't want to lose concentration high up. It's like the broom is toying with me before it drops me." She felt the devious nature of the school broom; as if its only way of entertainment was to throw its beginners off.

Ginelle came out to the field. She didn't feel like flying today, but she actually felt like dancing. It was strange, but she loved to dance in the grass. It was very difficult to do, but she still did it. Ginelle came out to the field, seeing no one was around, and then started to stretch. Now that she thought about it, she really shouldn't be dancing out here. That would be embarrassing if someone saw her. She decided to call her broom, and she would fly from there.

Ginelle came out to the quidditch pitch again, and she decided to start doing laps. She was tired, and she was a bit depressed about her lack of motivation to do anything lately. She flew around the pitch like a bullet, trying to imagine a snitch she was chasing. But, she was a chaser, not the seeker. She summoned a quaffle and decided to take some shots. She wasn't the keeper, and she couldn't charm the goal posts to randomly block, so it was a bit boring to do it by herself..

Sparrow strolled onto the pitch in a great mood. Things were going well and she was quite happy with everything at Hogwarts. Sparrow mounted her broom and sped up doing her normal routine. She speed around the pitch a couple times before going into a quick dive like she had the day of the incident. She was determined to do it just like she had that day (except for the falling part) and she sped up in her dive and as like before, to anybody watching it would seem like she was going to crash.

Ginelle watched Sparrow intently as she dove. She knew she wouldn't crash. That wasn't why she was watching. No, she was watching because she wanted to be able to do that if she dropped the quaffle, or if someone else dropped it. She needed to have speed - She needed to have fast reflexes just like a seeker. Ginelle decided to mimic Sparrow. She dived down as fast as she could, pretending to be reaching for a quaffle. As she was going down, she was getting more and more frightened. Then, she pulled up fairly quickly, but she wasn't anywhere near the ground. She sighed, knowing that she was letting her fear of hurting herself get to her. She needed to have more faith in her flying.

Sparrow judged the distance as she got closer and feet from the ground she pulled up and the momentum brought her withing inches of the ground, but she did not crash. Sparrow grinned. She had finally succeeded after years of work and without incident. Sparrow then took a snitch out of her pocket and let it go. She waited a little before flying off to find it.
