Liam was rather startled when his broom shot up and kept going further than where the teacher had been hovering. "Hey stop please!" He begged, holding onto the broom for dear life. "A little help here Professor Drake?"
He glanced down and closed his eyes almost instantly. "Crap, exactly how high up am I?" he asked himself shuddering.

Sky more of surprised when her body stayed up but as soon as she realized what had happened, a large smile appeared on her face. Even though it was just hovering, she was flying! On a broom, no less! She couldn't wait to write to her family about this--she had a feeling everyone would be so jealous! "Awesome," She whispered to herself, feeling the broom hover up and down to her every wish. While she might've not been that good at picking up the broom, getting off the ground was a breeze.

Cecilia was relieved to hear that Alois was alright and she quickly went back to her own broom before the Professor resumed her instructions. Even though she knew all of this from her own instructor back home, Cecilia tried to pay attention to what Professor Drake was instructing them in.
Once she was done talking, Cecilia promptly placed the broom between her legs and kicked off the ground using two feet, feeling pretty comfortable with the action.

Cecilia's broom bucked a little on the rise up but she soon recovered from that stumble, coming to a steady hover in the air. Eve though none of this was unfamiliar to her, Cecilia couldn't stop a smile from appearing on her face. Oh, I love flying...--ah shoot! Her mother would kill her!
Before anyone noticed--hopefully--Cecilia quickly removed her leg from around the broom and sat side-saddle on the broom, keeping her knees tight together. Ah, how embarrassing! Red appeared on Cecilia's face--if someone reported this to her mother...!

Good news was she'd lifted off. Bad news her broom was out of control. With a scream her broom was only a few feet off the ground but was flying through the other students. Anya held on for dear life as the broom started aiming at her class mates. " HELP!!"
It was safe to say she was freaking out. She tried yanking on the broom handle to get it to stop but the thing seemed to fight her. "Watch out!" She'd barely managed to holler at the current target before the broom turned and went after a new target. She had no idea what to do, she was at the broom's mercy.

Maegrethe was rather annoyed when her broom didn't even budge from the ground after she had done what the Professor had instructed. She shot an ugly glare at Liam as he easily rose up into the air. She stopped glaring and her eyes went round when she realized he was going higher and higher and was actually having a hard time holding onto the broom. Oh great..this wasn't going to be good.
She raised her hand and then spoke when the Professor made note of it. "Professor Drake,I think my brother is having trouble controlling his broom."

Lothar frowned at Sky's comment about the accidents that were occurring around him. He shook his head and shot a rueful glance down at his broom. So far it had treated him well, but who knew what sort of thing was lurking beneath it's wooden exterior.
"You think it's their fault? If I recall correctly, the year my father started flying he said someone had put a spell on one of the brooms and one of the first years had been killed." He replied. "Be thankful you haven't been hurt yet."
Lothar shook his head and threw his leg over the broom, taking a deep breath before pushing off with his feet.

Lothar was very relieved when his broom steadily rose at a slow pace and came to a stop about three feet off of the ground. He glanced around and was a bit shocked to see one hufflepuff boy had gone up about 10 feet into the air! He sure hoped the kid wasn't afraid of heights and hoped the kid had a good hold. One wouldn't want to fall that far from a broom.
Lothar noticed one girl had turned so she was sitting sideways on the broom and snorted and shook his head. That was rather stupid. She would more than likely fall off the broom when they were supposed to start flying around.
Lothar swung his feet back and forth as he awaited the professor's further instructions. He was a bit startled when a hufflepuff girl's broom started flying around really close to the other students. Then her broom maneuvered her dangerously close to him. He knew that the Professor would probably have his hide, but he wasn't about to allow the girl to knock him or someone else off their brooms.
Lothar kicked his broom and it zoomed after the errant girl. Before she managed to collide with an unsuspecting student he caught up to her and grabbed hold of her and the broom and pulled them to a stop. "Whoa, slow down there broom." He murmured and towed her to the end of the line.

Louvenia had been about to follow the professor's new instructions when her attention was distracted by Anya's run away broom. She had to duck when the girl zoomed over her and was a bit surprised to see Lothar chase after the hufflepuff girl and save her. Wow, he sure could move fast on a broom. He must have practiced more than she had. Which was no fair.
Finally when Lothar was done saving Anya and moving her to the far end of the line Louvenia was a bit less freaked out. Though..her dreams of falling kept coming back to her. She shuddered slightly as she maneuvered her leg over the broom, tucking her skirt around her legs to keep it from flying up. She took a deep breath, steadied herself and then pushed up with her feet as hard as she could from the ground.

Louvenia was relieved and delighted when she rose into the air gently. She relaxed a little and took in a deep breath of the fresh morning air. Such a relief. After all the crazy occurrences that had been happening, she had thought the same thing would happen to her.
She came to a stop at about 3 feet in the air and looked around her surroundings. Man did things look so far away this far up in the air. She laughed realizing she wasn't really that high up at all. She was just really nervous.

Anya was scared for her life, she'd stopped shouting but only cause she couldn't make her voice box work. As one of the boys came over and grabbed her broom she was bright red and refused to look anywhere but the ground in front of her. As they came to a stop she managed to look the boy in the face. "Thank you." She looked back at the ground feeling foolish and troublesome.

Tristan blinked as she looked around at the other students. How could her teacher make it look so easy, but by the obvious display of those about her... it was obvious it wasn't so easily learned.
She bit her lip and held back a whimper as she stepped over her broom, cradling it between her legs before realizing that her knuckles had turned a pearl white from her grip. All they were going to do now was hover, right? Nothing else. She took a deep breath and forced herself to relax.
Once she felt her nerves were settled enough she pushed off the ground with her feet and tried her best to not close her eyes in fear of what may or may not happen next.

To no avail and against her mental wishes, Tristan's eyes slammed shut the moment she kicked upward... however, the ground didn't meet with her feet again and - with some minor hesitation - she slowly peered out of one eye.... Then two!
She was off the ground. Hovering and sitting in place in the air! This truly was magic!
Internally, Tristan thanked her lucky stars that she was merely a foot or two of the ground. She wasn't too terribly thrilled with heights and felt that - given the current lesson - this was a perfectly reasonable altitude in which to learn how to fly.

Sara - still giddy as ever - hopped happily upon that broomstick of hers and watched careful.
"This is an awfully small place ta put yer seat, teach..." she spoke, not necessarily speaking to the teacher, but more or less speaking under her breath... which could be mistaken easily for talking to the teacher all together.
"Are there any brooms that come with a saddle, by chance?" she asked - again to no one in particular - but gave little time for anyone to give a response.
"Here goes nothin'!" she sighed and pushed off the ground firmly with both feet.
