Flying? No Way!
The Flying class was going smoothly all along. No big deal. Teresa was actually really happy and excited about her Flying class.
Teresa was watching her teacher making sure to pay attention and sometimes nodding in 'yes', 'no' , or 'I don't know'. It seemed it was enough for her teacher to silently move her head. Yes, yes, the class is going so smoothly, her teacher doesn't mind her being so quiet and her classmates appreciate it.
They were revising the safety rules and stuff and now was time for some more practicing of the 'Up!' command. She smiled and lined her broom straight with her foot and put her hand above it commanding it "Up!". Since it wasn't her first time her broom was in her hand quickly.
That was the time when Teresa realized she had to sit on the broom and actually fly, she looked around. Many of her classmates were already sat on their brooms and some already actually flying. What to do? What to do now? She can just let them now she's afraid, she's afraid of heights!
Teresa was sitting on her broom, still looking around. Three more people remained on the ground including herself, she was growing more nervous and more afraid. "Ah, what to do? What to do?!" She was nervously pacing the ground with her broom between her legs. She looked down at her broom, up at the sky, at the remaining classmates again at her broom, sky, classmates, and this way around again.
When Teresa's gaze landed on her classmates she noticed there is only one girl and her remaining on the ground, she was nervously looking around herself now. Mentally preparing herself to fly or not.

Flying? No Way!
@Teresa Shadowmoon
Cassie was in awed when one of the people that they looked up to, stand before them. Professor Bercegeay. Olphie Bercegeay, former Beater of the Holyhead Harpies. The only professional all female Quidditch Team. The person Cassie aspires to be. Professor Bercegeay explained the class what are the rules when it comes to flying.
Cassie nodded their head when it needed to be. Professor Bercegeay also tell the class, if the students want to stay after the class for the introduction being off the ground they are welcome to stay. Cassie smiles ear from ear with this info. When the time to instructed the broom to up, Cassie stand beside the battered school broom.
"Up!"Cassie command with confidence and vigor. The broom float above the ground a few inches. Cassie inspected the broom just like how Professor Bercegeay told the class. Once the inspection done and the broom safe for them to ride it, Cassie mount the broom and they not before long up in the air.
"This is awesome!"Cassie shouted and smiling to themself. Cassie try to lean their body forward and swoosh they are flying. Faintly they can hear someone said 'Mind your surrounding, children' from the ground and Cassie nodded their head between the cool Spring afternoon air.
They almost collided with a Hufflepuff boy that thinking riding the broom same like on a sport car. "Oi! watch it, estúpido!"Cassie cussed out. Cassie shake their head and resume their flying but it seems almost all the student fly above the ground except one person. Cassie looks down to the girl on the ground.
Slowly still riding their broom, Cassie approaches the girl. "What are you waiting for, mate?,"Cassie inquires the other girl. "You missing all the fun"Cassie stated while still floating above the ground.
OOC Note - I hope you are fine with me using Professor Bercegeay instead of Professor Jemari, if not then owl me and I will change it into the current Professor for this thread.

Flying? No Way!
Teresa's head was moving really fast and eagerly. Her forehead was getting watery, she was starting to sweat. The sweat was slowly dripping alongside her face she could almost taste the weirdly salty taste in her mouth.
Teresa looked up at the sky once more shifting her gaze from one student to another as they were flying flawlessly above her head. She gulped and pulled up her broom to her face, tightening the grip on the wood. Ew, her hands were starting to get sweaty too as her broom was slipping away from her grasp.
Teresa was staring at her classmates still. "I-It's okay, if-if I stay here... No one seemed to notice me nor our teacher, I-I'll be fine!" She said to herself encouraging self. Well, encouraging self to stay on safe ground.
When her classmates approached her she slightly jumped and let go off of her broom letting it fell down and hitting her foot. "Aw..." Teresa bent down to get her broom and pat the injured place on her foot. "Aw..." She hissed to herself at the touch. It wasn't anything big for a Hospital Wing, but it sure hurt.
Teresa finally looked up at her classmate. Eyeing them and then her broom and the sky. "F-Fun?! I-I... I'm good! M-Maybe next time...? Hehe..."

"Oh shoot! I do not mean to startled you"Cassie stated to the other girl when Cassie saw the other girl jumped when they are talking to her. The girl cried in pain when the thick handle of the broom hit her feet. "That looks like painful"Cassie said when they saw the girl on the ground patted her injured place of her foot.
"Seriously! What is wrong with you?"Cassie shouted to the same boy that just a few minutes ago almost collided with them. The boy zooms passed Cassie's head and Cassie's luckily ducked their head in time. If not well that was for sure something worth to visit the Hospital Wing. The girl stammered out her answered.
Cassie looks at all the students that fly above them and the girl on the ground alternately. "You are not afraid of flying, are you?"Cassie inquires the Hufflepuff girl and laughs sarcastically. I mean she is a witch, for Merlin's sake! Cassie thought internally.
It is not like their character at all. Caring about other person, let alone someone that they barely know. But Cassie always taught to be good and aid other person if or when the person need it by their Mother. Cassie pushed down the thick wooden handle, inches by inches Cassie gradually goes down.
"Are you sure about that? I can tell that you want to fly"Cassie stated to the other girl when their feet planted on the ground and stands beside the girl. Their left hand (Cassie is a lefty) holding the handle casually. "I can help you if you want. But it is cool if you do not want it"Cassie smiled to the other girl, waiting for her response.

Teresa shakes her head as in 'no' and scratches the back of her head, then moving her hands so fast. "No, no, no! It's okay. I just didn't see you coming, that's all." Teresa smiles awkwardly at the person in front of them then proceeds to look at the ground, especially at her foot. "Ah, it was painful, but nothing big. I don't have to visit Hospital Wing tonight." She smiled again.
Teresa suddenly stopped and tried to find that someone her classmate is referring to when suddenly boy from her house flies near their heads. Well, a few minutes later and the boy would fly straight to Teresa's head if she didn't duck down and cover her head. "Woah!" She lets out.
"I..." Teresa started. "...not afraid of flying, no... not at all. Flying seems fun, yes indeed..." She gulps and looks at the sky. "It's more than a flying...hehe..." She tries to explain in a way she doesn't have to tell she's afraid of heights instead of flying in this case. Teresa then looks back again at her feet, she notices her broom with the corner of her eyes as it is laying beside her. She picks it up, holding it in her right hand.
Teresa nods, agreeing with Cassie. "Yes... I'd love to fly... I just have an issue." Teresa exclaims lastly.

"I'm glad you are okay"Cassie stated after Teresa saying that she did not saw Cassie coming. "Tonight? Is thing thing often happen? I mean you visited Hospital Wing?"Cassie asks the Hufflepuff girl. Cassie and Teresa exchanging pleasant conversations then the same boy that flew above Cassie's head a moment ago, fly again and nearly collided with Teresa head.
Teresa ducked down and covered her head. "That is it!"Cassie look up the sky and trying to find the boy in the middle sea of yellow and black. "Be right back"Cassie gritted their teeth and soon fly up above the air towards the boy, annoyed with his antics. You can hear and see the arguments from both of the students whether you up in the air or on the ground.
When the arguments done, Cassie come back down. "The nerve of that boy"Cassie expressed still mildly annoyed. "If I do not remember Professor Bercegeay paid her attention to us, I hexed him already"Cassie then take a deep breath and calm their inner turmoil. "Anyway, where were we?"Cassie inquires Teresa.
Then Teresa mentioned that flying was fun and she love to fly but she has an issue. 'Okay, flying is fun and Teresa loves to fly, then why she hesitates to do so? Am I missing something here?', Cassie said to themselves internally.
"So what is the issue then? Your are not.. Your are not afraid of heights, are you?"Cassie taking a wild guess when Teresa said that she has an issue. Cassie laughs, finding that idea a bit amusing to them.

Teresa silently smiled giving Cassie her silent thanks. Then she uncertainty nodded at the question about her and her visits to Hospital Wing. "I am quite clumsy, so I visit Hospital Wing very much often." Teresa exclaimed and added. "To be exact, the last visit I had was two days ago when I accidentally burnt my finger." She awkwardly laughed and scratched the back of her head.
Teresa hasn't had the chance to say something nor decline or accept the fact she has to wait down here so she just silently nodded being cool with it as she watched them get on their broom and chase her house classmate. And yes both of the two were pretty loud you could clearly hear what they were arguing about. Well, it was quite a funny picture if you're not part of the argument.
When Cassie got back down Teresa still silently listened to them, smiling as she understands her rage.
"Uhhh..." Teresa only lets out clearly not remembering what the two of them were talking about earlier.
But when Cassie said what Teresa was afraid to say all along she gulps for a hint that she remembers, unfortunately.
"I, uhhh... n-no...? ... Maybe...? ...Y-Yes..." She finally admits and looks down at the ground.

"That's explain everything"Cassie stated as Teresa mention that she often time visited the Hospital Wing. "Bet all the nurse and staff in there know who you are by now"Cassie joked at the Hufflepuff girl. "How do you burnt your finger? Last time I check we still would not be allowed to brew something at Potions class"Cassie wonders.
"You know what, I really do not want to know how you got burnt"Cassie said to Teresa not in malice way. Cassie laugh awkwardly. Sometimes the way they say things can come off a snark comment and Cassie did not want Teresa think the wrong way. Cassie look up to the sky. The sky adorn with black and yellows also green and silvers.
Cassie housemates look at them weirdly for talking to a Hufflepuff. "Do not mind them"Cassie assures Teresa. Teresa been nothing but kind to Cassie. Then Teresa stammered out what Cassie suspicious about. "So, you really are afraid of heights"Cassie then let out a loud laugh.
They laugh for a moment but when Teresa go quiet and looking down at the ground, Cassie stop their laughter. "Oh, you really serious about that"Cassie somewhat feel bad about their laughter earlier. "I know acrophobia is not a laughing matter. My apologized"Cassie said to Teresa.

Teresa chuckles and nods her head. "Yeah... 'Oh hey Teresa! Have a seat! What is it today?'" She laughs as she tries to impersonate the Hospital Wing's nurses and staff. Now she shakes her head in 'no'. "Yeah, we aren't allowed to..." Teresa reassures Cassie about her statement. "I was just lighting up candles at my dorm, they had this pretty smell of strawberries." Teresa sniffed almost as if she smelled the scent of the candles right now.
"Ah no-no, it's okay. Many people, especially my family know about my clumsiness, so why wouldn't I tell one more person?" Teresa smiles and nods assuringly.
Teresa rolled her eyes at the laughs and looks from the Slytherin classmates. "Ah, don't worry. I am quite used to it." Then she proceeds to laugh under her breath. "Well, we're not, I mean Hufflepuff isn't that bad or is it?" Teresa asks and slightly points to herself.
Then nods. "Yeah..." It wasn't sad 'yeah' or embarrassed 'yeah'. It was more like 'I know yeah'.
"Heh... quite serious, yes." Teresa says and looks at her teacher who is tutoring her other classmates behind the two of them. "Oh, no-no!" She shakes her hands and head. "I am quite alright with your response though. Many would think that acrophobia is a silly thing for a witch to fear."

Cassie laugh, like genuinely laughing when Teresa trying to impersonate the Hospital Wing's nurses and staffs. Their eyes full of mirth. Again their fellow Slytherin look at them like they going mental. "What? This is none of your business. Show is over. Beat it!"Cassie barked to the sky where some of their classmates still floating up in the air.
One by one their fellow classmates retread and continuing whatever they did. "Oh yeah, I think my mom has one too. I think her candle smell like fire wood or vanilla bean, I can not recall"Cassie told Teresa. "Mother loves those kind of candles and Father hate it. It is hilarious"Cassie added.
Whenever Cassie or their Mother could make their father uncomfortable (intentionally or not, it is the highlight of Cassie's day). "No, I do not mean like that. It just sometimes when I said something, it could come out as a sarcastic or snarky comment. I just do not want you to see it in a wrong way"Explains Cassie to the Hufflepuff girl.
Cassie take a moment before answering Teresa question about Hufflepuff are bad or not. "So far the answers is no. You are the second badger I have interaction with"Cassie claimed then scratch the back of their neck feeling a bit awkward. Not far from where Cassie and Teresa stand, Professor Bercegeay talking to Teresa other classmate.
"But still it is not an excuse to laugh about it. Any kind of phobia is a very real thing and I am so sorry that I laugh before"Cassie smile at Teresa. Cassie look up to the sky and it is almost empty. "Are you ready try to fly now?"Cassie offers to Teresa and one by one both of the girls classmates dispersed.
"But I would not force you to do something you not ready yet. I just think it will going to be fun to feel the wind hitting your face gently. You do not need to fly just yet. Let just hover above the ground and just feel the magic"Cassie express in very cliché way. Cassie mount the school issue broom and float a few inches above the ground.
"What do you say?"Cassie smile at Teresa. From where Cassie at, they can see that Professor Bercegeay paid to the girl interaction from afar. Professor Bercegeay mouthing 'thank you' and Cassie nodded their head as their respond to the person they idolize.
