Excellent.

"Welcome to the first flying lesson. The basics of how to fly a broom will be covered and practiced . . . hopefully without loss of life or limb."

Smirk.

"Place your right hand over the broom - open palm - and in a firm voice say 'Up!' Make sure you let the broom know who's the boss. When you do this correctly, the broom will fly upwards and hit your open palm. Then you must grasp the broom in your hand."

He pulled out his silver whistle. "Show me how it's done." Vindictus barely finished the sentence when he placed the whistle up to his lips.

TWEET!
Nate outstretched his right hand over his broom, palm down, and yelled "UP!" perhaps a little too loudly. Nothing happened at first, but after about a second the broom vibrated, then shot up into his palm, and he grasped it. "Wow," he said under his breath, smiling and staring at the broom in his hand.
