Welcome to Gaia! ::

Flying using a broomstick is very easy if one knows how to follow the right steps. Of course you have to be a witch or wizard to fly a broom, Muggles do not have the ability to fly a broom. Professional wizards such as the teachers of Hogwarts do not have to follow those seven steps but can easily grab their broom and start flying. Professionals either say a non-verbal incantation or have the ability to fly a broom without any wand waving.

Broomsticks, better known as Brooms, are one of the means employed by wizards and witches to transport themselves between locations. The earliest recorded use of the broomstick was in 962, in a German illustrated manuscript. Only wizards and witches appear to use broomsticks in the Wizarding world. House-elves, for example, use Apparition. Broomsticks appear to have a bit of personality of their own, as they are able to respond to the simplest of commands, such as "UP!".

Records show that witches and wizards started using the broomstick in 963 when it was fully functional. Until the nineteenth century, broomsticks were of varying quality, although the invention of the Cushioning Charm in 1820 by Elliot Smethwyck greatly enhanced the quality and comfort of the rides.

At present, nearly every wizarding household in Britain owns at least one broomstick. Dedicated riders keep their brooms in top condition with a Broomstick Servicing Kit. Large groups of wizards and witches may travel by broomstick without being seen by Muggles through the use of a Disillusionment Charm. An earth-bound Muggle might then only see a slight shimmer in the night sky as broomstick riders pass overhead, which might be put down to blurred vision, sleepiness or a trick of the light.

This is basically the large exam that will be taken by all students when class is open (class will be open when i have received the class roll which includes the name of every single student). The test i must say is fairly easy and students with a lot of knowledge about flying and the Wizarding World will ace it.

Basically if you pass this test you are allowed you are allowed to fly on a broomstick. In this class you are allowed to fly outside only and anytime whenever even if i am offline. But you are not to fly inside the castle only with strict permission from a teacher. You are allowed to fly, chat and discuss flying in this classroom after passing the exam. Students can redo the exam over and over to pass. I will keep record of all students who have taken the exam and will post the results in the post above.

To pass you have to receive a 2O+/3O. Students have to PM there finished exam titled 'The Flying Exam'. They are to 'copy' the exam and 'paste' it in the PM space given and then 'answer' the questions in the PM. For more questions please ask me here.
