I Just Wanted to be Free

5.Flying Class

24 December 2020

It has been about a month and we are having our first actual flying class. We learn the basics now we are actually going to try to fly.

"Good afternoon class"

"Good afternoon Madam Hooch." The whole class said.

"Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone stand to the left side of your broomstick." So we did. She rushed us. "Now stick your right hand out and say up." We all began saying it. On mine and Harry's first try our brooms just flew up to our hands. Hermoine just gave me a serious look of seriously. I then saw Draco's lift his. Hermonie is saying as if she is talking to a pet. Ron flies up and it hits his face.

Now everyone has their brooms in their hand. "Now once you got hold of your broom I want you to mount it. Grip it tight you don't want to be sliding at the end. When I blow my whistle I want each of you to kick off from the ground hard, keep your brooms steady, hover forward then come back down." She blew her whistle but Nevil was the first up but he kept going up. He then lost control. Banging into the castle. His robe then got caught up very high but you can tell it was going to rip and he was going to fall. I don't know why but I mounted my broom and flew to help break his fall. Which I did but got a little hurt in the process. Madam Hootch decides to take us both to the hospital wing. She threatens them before we leave.

At the hospital wing, I was treated by Madame Pomfrey. She had me rest for a little just to make sure I didn't hurt my head. Hermonie eventually arrives. She handed me my necklace. She told me what happen after Nevil and I had left. I can't believe Draco would be like that. Hopefully, Harry didn't get into trouble too much. "Hermonie why didn't he bring it himself."

"Well, he thinks you don't like him as much mainly because you always talk to me or Ron more and you're very quiet with." How can I be nice to someone who I have to help destroy? He's also related to the man who killed my father.

"Can you tell him thank you for me?" Hermonie nods. We get up and start to head back since it will dinner soon.

"Hey E.J;" Nevil calls me "he has a sling around him right now and he is still in bed. "Thank you for helping me earlier, sorry you got hurt because of me."

"Don't worry Nevil. I barely have a scratch. And you know I was helping a friend so the wounds are worth it." I gave him a smile. "Rest up Nevil see you at class tomorrow."

Hermonie and I were walking but then we pass by a trophy case. There was a plaque and it had Harry's dad's name. "Hermonie go find Harry." While I waited for them I looked at the plaque again then I look at the other names. I then see my mother's names. Hermonie then comes back with Harry and Ron.

"Harry you never told me your father was a seeker too," Ron says.

"I didn't know," Harry says. I can agree with him. I wonder what my mother played. "Do you think there are records?" Hermonie I look at each other and smile.

"Library." We both say. The four of us go to the library and go to the front desk.

"What can I help you with?" The librarian asks us.

"We would like to past records of Gryffindors quidditch teams," Hermonie says.

"Okay, do you have a specific year?" She asked and we then began looking at each other. I then think in my head.

"1975 -1978." She nodded and then she showed us the way. She took the books out for us. We each grabbed one and then went to sit down.

"How did you think of these years?" Ron asked me
