A Muggle's First Flight
Emily had been modelled into a young girl with many talents; piano, art, even a few classes of tennis... flying a broomstick was definitely a new one by any muggle's standards.
Standing in the middle of the training ground with other students, she stood to the left of a broom left out for her. Upon instruction, everyone started trying to call the broom.
"Up... Up...? UP!"
Emily's patience and confidence slowly dwindled when she became one of very few people left to be able to call the broom to her hand. Just as she was on the verge of tears, the broom gently touched her fingers and she snatched it tight in her grip.
She climbed on with the nose of the broom angled up. If she could manage a tiny hover, then there's hope for her passing this class after all. She tried hopping a few times to no success. She shut her eyes tight when she tried jumping a little higher, and even tighter when she tried jumping harder.
Until eventually... she was near six feet off the ground. With a startled whimper, she didn't dare open her eyes again until she willed the broom to bring her back down again, stretching her toes to the ground until she could feel the grass beneath her.
She felt the weight in her chest disappear as she exhaled, relieved to have managed the first task... only a list more to go before class would end. All of a sudden, piano lessons didn't seem so daunting anymore.

A Muggle's First Flight
After lunch was flying class. Andy got a school broom. "Okay, over here! First years! So everyone. Let's get straight to action. Put your broom on the ground and say UP!" Said the professor. "UP!" Said Andy. The broom flew in his hand. The professor told everyone how to fly. Andy crashed a few times then got a bit better. Then he was flying on flight speed like it was nothing. "Fly through the Rings. When you hear my whistle head back and hand back your brooms." Said the professor. Andy missed some rings but flew in most of them. He flew past the Ravenclaw tower and next to the green houses. A Ravenclaw always nails his subjects thought Andy. He kept on flying. He went faster. Then he almost got his robes ripped apart by how fast the air was. He flew past the Gryffindor tower and the great hall to. Andy could see the Hufflepuff common room peeking out between a stone wall. The wonders of the magical world where amazing up in the sky. Andy's hair was slicking back showing his forehead. "WOW!" He yelled. The warm September air flew By Andy. He hoped he can have his own broom. He can't wait until his second year where can buy his own broom. The magical world was amazing. Andy heard the whistle. He groaned and flew back to the professor. "I loved it said the Ravenclaws almost together. Only Amit who prefers Astronomy was covered in bruises. "Don't worry. Astronomy is next said Andy saying bye to the professor. Andy, who is muggle born loved his first time on a broom.
