Zack strolled outside into the last of the warm, summer sunshine with a newer Cleansweep over his shoulder. It was enough to pick him up and energize him for his last class of the day. It even seemed to improve his color a bit. The slight breeze ruffled his hair and new clothing. A far cry from his usual black robes, he was dressed in Muggle attire: a gray T-shirt bearing the cryptic letters ‘R.E.M.’ and a pair of ragged denim shorts. He waited 5 minutes before beginning.
“This would be the Flying Class that you all signed up for. If you didn’t sign up for it, you shouldn’t be here. All of you heard my spiel about Potions already, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I’m not the Flying teacher, we don’t have one of those yet, but until we do, I’ll be taking over the class. We’ve got brooms if you don’t, so don’t worry about that. Stand next to one, and say ‘Up’, with your hand outstretched. If you’re lucky enough, it’ll land in your palm. If not, oh well. Let’s get started folks.”

Tova gets her new Nova to jump to her hands with ease. She waits for the rest of her classmates to finish. Anxious to fly, she hops on her broom and waits as paitently as possible.

Professor Davinksi was taking over the flying classes, amd all Ellie could think about was how long it would take him this time to give them the whole history of flying. Luckily for her, he wasn't in a lecture-y mood, and immediatley instructed them to grab their brooms.
"Up," Ellie's strong voice commanded. How long ago had she learned this? Too many to count, she thought, waiting for Professor to give instructions, hoping that the class would go by quickly...

Loki looked at the old school broom at his side and winced. He'd definitely be looking into buying a new broom. He said, 'Up,' and watched as it made its slow way to his hand.

"That's it, peepshows, you've got it. Of course, I know most of you've probably had experiance with this stuff and it'll be boring the first couple days, but try not to think about it.
"We're gonna try hovering next. Everybody ready? Just kick up and hold the broom steady. When I give a shout, you're gonna ease the broom down, gently. Go to it."

Gwen easliy got her broom to hover 3 feet off the ground. She looked around her to see who was having trouble andwho had gotten up right away. To her right Ellie was hovering like she did it every day.
'this is to easy' she mumbled to herself

Ellie swiftly kicked off the ground, watching Gwen and the others around her progress very well. She raised her hand and called down to Professor, yawning.
"Can we play Quiddatch in this class, since everyone is obviously far beyond this instructional level?"

*tired smile* "I seem to have gotten in over my head for this class, haven't I? All right, all right, come on back down. This isn't Quidditch class, you do that on your own time, but I wouldn't be opposed to just a basic game. Chasers and Keepers."

Ellie landed expertly on the grass below and held her broom confidently.
"I'm a Keeper, Professor. "
She eyes Gwen, waiting for her response...

*looks thoughtful* "Maybe I ought to just pelt you with quaffles and see which of you cracks first?" *grabs a quaffle and holds it as everybody's gaze turns towards him. "For those of you unfortunate enough to not know the joys of Quidditch, this is a quaffle. Chasers pass it between themselves and try to score. The Keeper prevents that from happening. Easy enough?" *tosses the quaffle up to watch the match unfold*

"Alrigt Professor, let's play!"
