The Wizarding World

7: Taking Flight & 3 Headed Dog

After the study hall, the first year had now been taken to have their flying lesson. The students stood in formation with brooms in between them all. Y/N in between Hermione and Harry. Y/N had remembered the lessons his father had shown him before he left for Hogwarts.

Y/N and the rest of the first years waited for Madam Hooch as she wasn't around at the moment for half of the class were quiet while the other half were whispering wondering where Madam Hooch was. "Good afternoon class." Said the booming voice of Qudditch referee and their teacher Madame Hooch. "Good afternoon Madame Hooch." The class greeted. Madame Hooch stood in between the students smiling her golden eyes looking at all the students. "Welcome to your first flying lesson." She greeted. The students stared at for waiting for an instrument only to have Hooch look at them crazy. "What are you waiting for?" Step up to the left side your brromstick." The students eagerly walked to their broomsticks. "Stick your right hand over the broom and say, ''Up'." Madame Hooch instructed. Each student said up. Harry's broom instantly went up into his hand, same for Y/N. Hermione stared bewildered at the duo with brooms first. The remainder of the students struggling with the broom getting up kept chanting up. Hermione having trouble with her's as the broom had bounced up and down and Ron who angrily yelled at his broom that smacked him in the face. Causing Y/N and Harry laughing.

After the horrible torture for the student who couldn't work the broom finally got the hand of it. "Now, once you've got hold of your brooms, I want you to mount it." The student then mount the brooms. "Grip it tightly, you don't wanna be sliding off the end." Madame Hooch then stood at the end. "When I blow my whistle, I want you to kick off from the ground, hard." The first years listened carefully. "Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle, 3, 2."

Madame Hooch blows her whistle but the first up is Neville who instantly panics. Hooch now walking over to Neville telling him to carefully come down. "Neville!" Y/N calls out as Neville broom then takes off as he screams for help and Madame Hooch instructing. "Come back down this instant!" Neville's broom goes haywire as it makes a beeline for the students. They dive out of the way as Neville makes it through a corridor and up to a spear statue where his cloak gets snagged on it. Neville robes then give and drops him to a torch holder where it gets caught again but this time drops him from it. "Everyone out of the way!" Madame Hooch orders as she runs to Neville who's on the ground. She sits him up while he winces as his wrist looks broken. "Everyone keep your feet in the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will be expelled before they can say 'Quidditch'" Hooch say making her and Neville's way to the hospital wing. "Did you see his face?" Malfoy says tossing up Neville's remembrall. "Maybe if he had given this a squeeze he'd have remembered to have fallen on his big fat arse." Harry pushes his way through to Malfoy. "Give it here, Malfoy." Harry ordered the greasy haired boy. Malfoy turned to Harry a big smile on his face. "No. I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." Malfoy said mounting his broom and gracefully gliding around the class. "How about on the roof." Malfoy said flying up. "What's the matter Potter? Bit beyond your reach." Malfoy teased. Harry now angry mounted his broom. "Hatry stop." Y/N said putting his hand on Harry's shoulder. "He's right. You heard what Madame Hooch said besides you don't even know how to fly." Hermione said but Harry didnt listen as he flew up to Malfoy. "Idiot." Y/N said mounting his broom not listening to Hermione who warned him to as he flew towards the two in the air. Malfoy staring at Harry not realizing Y/N had join in who was flying in low beneath them. Y/N focused on Malfoy as he threw the ball far away where Harry flew after it, Malfoy flying down still not have noticed Y/N who flew over and knocked him off the broom landing on the ground hard. "Sorry didn't see you there." Y/N quipped as he flew back down. "Your just as much as an idiot as Harry is." Hermione said glaring at the H/C boy. "He'll be fine, beside it seems like Harry is too." Y/N said as he turned everyone's attention to Harry who had been waving the ball in his hands and everyone cheering for him as he landed.
