Dahlia smiled, carefully putting the pouch into her pocket "we have our first flying lesson today right?" Ron asked excited "yes, after breakfast" Dahlia nodded, Hermione and Neville Tensed, both visibly scares of the upcoming lesson. Finishing breakfast the group made their way out side, Neville and Hermione followed stiffly, their knuckles nearly white from their grip on their respective bags. "Nev you'll be alright, we'll be right next to you" Harry soothed, wrapping an arm around his god brother. Dahlia slowed Hermione slightly, opening the pouch and pulling out the bracelet "Mione, youll do great. Wear this, it's a black family bracelet, it'll keep you safe. Also, if you confidently summon your broom and mount it. I'll give you a book on Arithmacy from my Vault" Dahlia bargained.

Many in the hall gasped in surprise, mostly those raised in wizarding culture, understanding the significants. "What is it?" lily asked, confused by the reactions around her "Giving an outsider, an object from your family is Sacred. Family owned objects are just that, only that family has it.

"Their going to be Quidditch Stars" James said proudly, convinced, "sorry dad, we actually don't like quidditch that much. It's kinda boring" the twins choruses seriously. Their friends had to hold in their laughter, the only ones who saw how hard it was for them to say that without cracking. "Oh... That's.... Fine" Regulus managed to say, him and the others deflating in their seats "yea... You don't... Have to like quidditch..." James managed to say.

"Good afternoon class" "Good afternoon noon Madam Hooch" the class chorused, taking a spot next to each of the brooms laid out. "Now each of you stand next to your brooms, there you go, raise your hand over your broom, now say up" She instructed, watching everyone. "up" Dahlia, and harry among some of the others said getting it on the first try, hermione managed on the third try. The group his their laughs as Ron's hit him in the face before going to his hand.
