| | The Grounds: HoM Lesson 2 Lainey lead her class to a patch of grass down by the lake. It was peppered with rocks here and there so everyone could sit there if they wanted.
"Now, if everyone will get settled - we'll start class!" Lainey hopped up on her broom and hovered a few feet from the ground. |

Cassandra watched Lainey... She liked this professor, but she was a bit off her rocker... She sat on a rock quietly, hoping the professor wouldn't make her fly.

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. Ariana bounced outside, her good mood made even brighter by the fact she held a broom. Not having had any practice in a very long time she sat down on a comfy rock and held the broom in her hand, her green eyes bright with excitement. She loved History of Magic and this would surely be a great lesson.

"Well, I suppose I've procrastinated enough now. Let's begin. Can anyone tell me who the first person credited to flying a broom is?" |

"Guthrie Lochrin?" Cassandra said her hand in the air.

Krissy pulled out a quill and a piece of parchment, she didn't want to miss a single thing having to do with flying. The wind whipped at her scarf but it just added to her feeling of excitement. Perhaps she'd be able to feel the freedom of flight again.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Alex Black First Year | SS Featured Writer Lovely Lady Excelsior jumped onto his broom and waited, hovering just a few feet off the ground. There was nothing he was afraid of. He thought Cassandra had already answered the question correctly so he just waited, listening. |

Rapunzel had raised her hand to answer the professor's question, but a Slytherin answered first. Oh well...maybe next time.

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. Ari didn't know the answer, so she picked up her notebook and wrote down the answer, wanting to keep it for further research later. Instead, she put the broom by her feet and made long hand notes, using her green ink and blue feathered quill.

CJ Cooper | Inside Kitty | HIT ENTER | UNO Queen "Yes! Good work, good work, Cassandra. Another two points for Slytherin." Lainey rose a few feet higher on her broom, roughly at head level now. "Ole Guthrie. Bless him. Can... anyone tell me the first person to fly a broom is - according to Muggle records? I know several of you are really into Muggles." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Aschere Tonks Fifth Year | Aschere flipped hurriedly through the pages of her textbook. That Slytherin was smart.. Aschere wondered which trait of hers the sorting hat had seen to sort her into Slytherin over Ravenclaw.. or maybe she was in both houses? Aschere squinted, trying to make out the colours of her uniform.

"La Befana. She is a character in Italian Christian Muggle folklore, similar to Saint Nicholas or Sandy Claws. Legend has it that La Befana was approached while she was sweeping by the astrologers (the three kings) a few days before Christ's birth. They asked for directions to where the Christ child was, but she did not know. She provided them with shelter for a night, as she was considered the best housekeeper in the village with the most pleasant home. They invited her to join them on the journey to find the Christ child, but she declined, stating she was too busy with her housework. Later, La Befana had a change of heart, jumped on her broom and flew to search out for the astrologers and the child. That night she was not able to find them, so to this day, La Befana is searching for the child. She leaves all the good children toys and candy, while the bad children get coal." Cassandra said... but was this the answer she wanted? This was folklore, and she wasn't sure... "Or did you mean Elphaba?" Cassandra added.

Rapunzel blinked, a bit stunned by the etensive Slytherins' knowledge of flying. Dang....they should have been Ravenclaws! She wondered which answer to write down...

CJ Cooper | Inside Kitty | HIT ENTER | UNO Queen Lainey grinned between Excelsior and Cassandra. "Both correct. I was looking for Mr. Edelin, but I can't deny that you are both correct." Lainey took notes of the points for Slytherin.
"That's enough history for me. I'll be losing you all before we even get started," Lainey laughed. "Now.. let's talk about WHY.. a broom. Anyone have thoughts on this? Why do we fly around on brooms of all things?" |

"They're common objects, Proessor," Aschere said, rising her hand and tring not to lose balance. "They're not only ordinary, being easy to conceal from Muggles, but also cheap, so that even poorer witches or wizards can be seen to possess them without suspicion being aroused."

Cassandra was great at history... she was capable of memorizing whole chapters, but opinions she was rather lacking on.
"Cause they are Aerodynamic?" She said hesetantly... "The shape facilitates speed..."

Bethany Marie Dumont Magical Law Enforcement | Monica Raised her hand. "Professor, wasn't it because, back in the older days, brooms blended in well. What I mean to say is a muggle could walk by a broom on a porch and not realize it for what it was, because it looked like what they were using to sweep their floors with."

Rapunzel was able to raise her hand this time, having learned this in the last Flying lesson. "We fly brooms because originally, they were commonplace, and it wouldn't be suspicious if a Muggle saw brooms lying around a wizard's house," Rapunzel said brightly. "Plus, they're more aerodynamic and simple to fly than a bathtub or a carpet. Although I think a magic carpet would be cool...." she trailed off in thought.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Alex Black First Year | SS Featured Writer Lovely Lady "I agree, they are common objects, and the muggles wouldn't be so suspicious in seeing us using something so mundane as a broom. Our true purposes can be disguised much easier by using something so commonplace," Excelsior volunteered. |
