Holly Potter's Hogwarts experience

Chapter 10

New Seeker

[That afternoon, outside the castle, the students, Gryffindor and Slytherin, 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.]

"Oh my Merlin Quidditch!!! We get to see you on a broom!!!" James and Sirius shouted in unison wanting to see how their daughter faired on a broom and if she was anything like them when it came to quidditch.

Hooch: Good afternoon, class.
Class: Good afternoon, Madam Hooch.
Hooch: Good afternoon, Amanda(A/N: who the hell is 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 Holly said "Up"!, the broom immediately flies into her hand.]

"Oh my baby is a natural!!!" James said puffing his chest up in pride while everyone else around him rolled their eyes or smiled at seeing how proud the pranking lion was of his daughter, knowing that maybe she was all he needed to grow up a little bit.

Holly: [amazed] Wow.
[Hermione stares at her 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.

"Don't get too cocky now Dray." Luna said in a dreamy voice making those from the future have to cover their mouths not to laugh at the offended face Draco held.

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

Snorts and laughter filled the room as Ron went red seeing his you gee self wack himself with a broom. He had honestly forgotten about that since it seemed so long ago.

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...

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

"Oh no." Alice whispered, hopping that Neville got his father, Frank's, flying abilities instead of her's.

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!

Alice hides her face in Frank's chest not wanting to see her baby get hurt while Frank rubbed her back to comfort her and himself.

Hooch: Mr. Longbottom!
Neville: Down! Down! Ahhhh!
Harry: Neville!
Neville: Help!!!
[he immediately skyrockets towards the sky]

Hooch: Come back down this instant!
Neville: AHH!
[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.]

"Please help him." Alice whispered like a prayer over and over again.

Neville: Help!
Hooch: Mr. Longbottom-! [However, the students quickly stand back as Hooch dives out of the way, allowing Neville to fly right through. Neville goes through the scatter and up a tower.]
