Flying Class

I saw Madam Hooch standing on the grass of the training grounds, hands on her hips, and her usual stern look. Today was windy and her white messy hair was blowing with it.
"Alright, class," She announced. "Today we're going to be learning Riding With Partners."
Merula turned over to me.
"Well, partners?" She asked.
I was going to say, "Sure!" but my mind drifted away. I imagined Merula holding onto my sides while we were flying through the air together, and she would land a kiss on my cheek, too. The wind would blow in her messy hair and we would be able to have a moment to ourselves, too. Then I imaged Merula controlling the broom. I would hold onto her hips and my face would lay buried in short hair...
"(Last name)?" Merula snapped her fingers directly in my face. She was talking louder than she should have had to, just to get my attention. "Hello? Are we gonna be partners in riding together or not?"
I was pulled back from my imagination and got grip of my words.
"Oh- Yeah! Let's be partners!"
She looked at me in a disgusted-but playful- way.
"Don't act too happy about it!" She whispered. "Nobody needs to see you happy with being my partner!"
I laughed. "Why? Are you scared they'll want me?"
Merula made her usual, cute, upset, and angry face. God, it was adorable.
"Shut up, (last name)!"
I laughed once again, but then stopped when I heard Madam Hooch's yelling.
"Alright! Everyone listen up! Class had started!"
The lesson first started off with the usual, "Up!"
Many kids got wacked in the face with there broom. Merula's lips curved, holding in her smile. That adorable smile.
As the class continued on, we finally got to the part of the lesson where we tried to do what we were taught. It was time to get Merula to ride with me.
Madam Hooch asked her question, hoping for no hold up because the class was soon to be over.
"Who's partners?"
Everyone started telling her their partners and excitedly got onto their brooms.
"Me and Merula, Madam Hooch." I said, holding in my jumps of excitement.
"Watch it, (last name). Try not to be so excited you'll fall of your broom." She said. "I can't have you break any bones, or I'll miss out on moments with you." She added, mumbling, and what looked like blushing.
I mounted my broom and stuck my hand out. She grasped it tightly and sat with me.
"Off, you two," Madam Hooch pointed upwards, to the clouds. "Be back soon. Class is ending in just a bit."
Merula wrapped her arms around my waist and her feeling started to warm me up. We were enjoying our private ride: the wind was blowing with us, it was a cloudless day, and mainly, we were together, alone...
Suddenly, I felt her hand tickle down from my waist, but to the untouchable area.
"Merula!" I gasped, slapping her hand, with the other still on the broom.
"S-sorry-" She was embarrassed, but I respected her for taking her opportunity.
"It's fine, Merula. You're only 12. When you and me are closer, and when you're older, I'll allow full exploration." I winked.
The flight continued, but Madam Hooch made her call of,
"Children! Come down! Class is over!"
Merula's head was laying on my shoulder, warm and soft. She picked it up, and landed a small kiss on my neck, then left her head up because we were departing to the training grounds.
"Amazing work, Ms. (Last name). So sorry you couldn't operate the broom, Ms. Snyde. In the next class, the partners will e operating the broom."
We walked out of the training grounds, together, once again.
