Soaring to New Heights
Layla, a first year Ravenclaw, had decided to try riding on a broomstick she had borrowed from Hogwarts. Upon walking into the stadium, however, there were a group of Slytherin students, probably making all these decisions, which were meant to be in their common room. Layla was new here- and shy, so she didn’t want to be on bad terms with anyone.
As she hopped on the broomstick, as she had predicted, her mind had gone blank, legs wobbly and stomach bad. She felt like giving up and not allowing herself to go up. But this was something she would need to get used to. One leg after the other, she swung onto it rather like how you get on a horse.
She put on a determined expression, and started to rise. She was not liking this one bit. As the Ravenclaw student rose, her stomach began to churn. Wanting to avoid anything bad happening to her, she did something equally as bad- plummeted straight down. Her eyes widened with shock as she went towards the lawn, rather slowly, being on one of the older brooms. She did a sharp turn upwards and got off the broomstick immediately.
Catching her breath, she called out to the Slytherins “Good for a first timer?”
