[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.]
"We get to see you on your broom!" James says excitedly.
"Yeah I guess so," Hazel shrugs.
"Please tell me! Do you play Quidditch?" James asks hopeful.
"No," Hazel says with a small smirk seeing James pout.
"Dang it you took after Lily then," James says still pouting.Hooch: Good afternoon, class.
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 Hazel said "Up"!, the broom immediately flies into her hand.]"She's a natural just like me!" James shouts jumping up and down as people laugh at his reaction but then also impressed that she managed to do it first try.
Hazel: [amazed] Wow.
[Hermione stares at her as the class continues.]
Draco: Up! [broomstick flies up and Draco smugly grins.]"Don't look to smug there Malfoy," Ron says with an eye roll.
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! [Hazel laughs] Shut up, Hazel. [Ron then seemingly starts to laugh after he recovered]Everyone else started to laugh as well as Ron just looks around pretending that it wasn't him.
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! Neville," Alice freaks out and Frank just holds her close to him to calm her down but even he was freaking out slightly.
Neville: Oh...
"That's all you have to say is Oh?" Sirius laughs out resulting in a slap to the back of his head by Remus.
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!"Maybe be the teacher and help instead of just calling his name," Alice freaks out.
Amelia is again taking notes on this about the broom and Hooch not helping properly.Neville: AHH!
Hooch: Mr. Longbottom!"Just repeating his name isn't going to help anything!" James shouts out.
Neville: Down! Down! Ahhhh!
Hazel: Neville!
Neville: Help!!!
[He immediately skyrockets towards the sky]
Hooch: Come back down this instant!"He would if he could!" Multiple students shout coming to Neville's defense.
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.]
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.]
