335 Fly me to the moon... On a broom!

After a couple minutes of shuffling from the group of first years, Reima and Ciri find themselves standing next to a vacant broom which lays on the grass near their feet. Madam Hooch tells everyone to pick up their broom by commanding it into their hands by saying "Up"... Reima and Ciri do so and the broom's snap into their hands with ease, unlike the majority of the surrounding students. She then goes on to explain how to hold a broom properly and how it functions. Reima can feel Ciri almost vibrating with excitement at the prospect of actually flying but doesn't comment yet.

After a couple more minutes of getting the first years situated, Madam Hooch gives the Ok for those who are confident to start hovering. The ashen haired duo do so, Ciri laughs nervously as her feet leave the ground, she hovers a couple meters off of the floor at a comfortable height while Reima hovers next to her.

Reima "This is easier than I thought it'd be."

Ciri nods, "We should buy a couple of these and give them to Kaer Morhen, I want to try facing Geralt and Yen at Quidditch!" She says while smiling at the thought. Reima also thought it was a funny idea and made a mental note to purchase a bunch of brooms, their production methods and materials alongside the potion books and materials he intends to bring back.

Finally Madam Hooch gives everyone permission to free fly, but "Not too high". Reima didn't really know why she'd add the last bit as most of these first years would instantly die should they fall from their brooms. No amount of potions could heal a splattered skull afterall. He and Ciri dart around the sky passing by each other while performing various tricks, Reima himself found it relatively easy to surf the broom as if it were a skateboard. While it was difficult to turn the thing with his feet, he found it doable with a touch of Telekinesis.

Madam Hooch was on the ground keeping a close eye on the students to ensure their safety. As she had previously had an accident while trying to become an Animagus she'd acquired the eyes of an Eagle which pushed her Quidditch skills to the next level, allowing her to compete professionally and eventually find her current position at Hogwarts, teaching flying and judging Quidditch matches. She'd been keeping a close eye on a boy called Dennis Creevey who while having the confidence of a professional, looked incredibly unstable on his broom. That is, until her attention was drawn away towards the transfer students who she'd had the pleasure to teach...

Hooch "Oh lord..." she mutters as she watches Mr Ludvig stand atop his broom and almost collide with Miss Rivia. She's even more surprised when she sees the latter perform a handstand for a couple seconds...

Reima "Hey Ciri, wanna try a stupid and dangerous stunt?"

She grins "Obviously!"

Reima "Alright, when we pass each other I want you to jump on my broom." she nods and they fly away from each other to gain speed. Madam Hooch who's on the ground is biting her nails in confused and worried apprehension at what they're going to do next. She isn't disappointing as when the duo pass each other they jump to the others broom, successfully swapping them midair!

Dennis Creevey who was also watching slowly topples off of his broom backwards in awe of them, he's high enough to severely hurt himself, especially if he falls on his head or neck...

Luckily for Madam Hooch's career and the boys spine, Reima had noticed the brewing trouble and quickly swooped down to catch the boy under his armpit.

Dennis "O.M.G! Thank you so much for saving me! You're an amazing flyer! Could I get an autograph? Maybe my brother could get me a picture of you?" like a verbal machine gun he fires a barrage of questions at Reima who can only smile and nod at him, all the while thinking whether or not it'd be appropriate to drop him "Accidentally"...

He delivers the young boy to a pale Madam Hooch who thanks him graciously before joining back with Ciri and continuing to mess around in the sky.

Dennis "Do you think I could be as good at flying as them someday?" the young boy asks Madam Hooch. While she wishes to be truthful she can't just destroy this boys dreams now can she?

"Maybe? If you put the effort in? You would have to be extraordinarily talented to match those two who seem to both be geniuses at flying...

He smiles and nods rapidly at her, grinning at the thought of becoming a famous Quidditch player.

As the lesson is about to end Madam Hooch signals everyone to make their way back to her, she collects all the brooms and congratulates them all for learning to fly, she also mentions to Reima and Ciri that she'd support them in attempting to join a national Quidditch team should they wish to. Of course they both refuse as they know they won't be in this world long enough to actually compete.

Alas, both can't rest as they have another set of lessons immediately after this one as it was tacked on to their already prepared schedule, not that they're complaining, flying was incredibly fun after all.
