First Class Closed

I came onto the fresh grounds of Hogwarts and walked hesitantly towards the quidditch pitch, I hadn't really played quidditch. The last time I really played it was when my aunt cam around and showed me how everything worked, I never really did any flying as my mum was really overprotective and thought I would just fall. As I walked on with confidence I could see other students chattering, I felt like they were all watching me. I shook off my nerves and just continued to stride on, finally I was at some broomsticks. I stood besides them and though to myself, what if it doesn't work, what if I'm to heavy for the broom to lift? Standing besides them I said the words "up!" to my greatest delight the broomstick flew up into my hands. My nerves went away and I was asked to mount my broom, definatly nervous but very excited. I lifted my feet off the ground and hovered at least a meter off the ground while some people flew higher and others lowered, even though I was nervous I had done it! I stepped away from my broom pleased with myself and walked back to Hufflepuff common room excited for my next lesson.
