Iris Potter Watching the Movies {ON HOLD TILL 2027}

New Seeker and Chaser

[That afternoon, outside the castle, the students, Gryffindor, Slytherin and Slythindor are lined up in two rows with brooms by their sides. The teacher, Madam Hooch, comes down the line. She has short hair and hawk yellow eyes.]

Hooch: Good afternoon, class.

"Good afternoon, Madam Hooch", the Weasley Twins chorus.

Class: Good afternoon, Madam Hooch.

Hooch: Good afternoon, Amanda, good afternoon. [to the class] Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up. Stick your right hand over the broom and say, up!

Class: Up!

[After Iris and Aries said "Up"!, the broom immediately flies into their hands.]

"You're naturals!"

"Of course they are. Have you seen them play?"

Iris: [amazed] Wow.

[Aries frowns when he hears amazement in her voice. He thought she would know how to fly, every pureblood- or wizarding raised halfblood -knows. Something wasn't right. Hermione stares at them as the class continues.]

Draco: Up!

[broomstick flies up and Draco smugly grins.]

Hooch: With feeling!

Hermione: [as her broomstick slowly rises] Up. Up. Up. Up.

Ron: Up!! [His broom immediately shot up and whacked him on the nose] Ooh! [Iris and Aries laugh] Shut up, guys. [Ron then seemingly starts to laugh after he recovered]

The great hall laughs.

Hooch: Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. And grip it tight, you don't want to be sliding off the end. [the class mounts on their broomsticks] When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, and then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle...3...2...

"That's what she-"

"There are children here, Padfoot!"

"But Moony!"

[She blows the whistle. However, Neville's broomstick somehow lifts him off the ground. Neville immediately lifts off. He looks quite frightened.]

Neville: Oh...

Hooch: Mr. Longbottom.

Girl: Neville, what are you doing?

Students: Neville...Neville...

Boy: We're not supposed to take off, yet.

Hooch: [Neville begins soaring away uncontrollably] M-M-Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom!

Neville: AHH!

Hooch: Mr. Longbottom!

Neville: Down! Down! Ahhhh!

"Can't you use your wand!"

Hooch looks sheepish.

Iris: Neville!

Neville: Help!!!

[he immediately skyrockets towards the sky]

Hooch: Come back down this instant!

Neville: AHH!

"He would if he knows how to!"

[He flies uncontrollably in the air and hits a wall, conking along it and then swooping off. All the while, he is screaming. He begins to zoom back towards the group of students. Hooch quickly holds out her wand to stop him.]
