She looked down, but there was nothing there. Isobel turned slightly, but all she saw was the group of kids. What? One of the girls was already mounted, and looked confident about her abilities. And she was trying to help the others. Isobel smiled at her before turning to another boy who was asking a question.
"If you're ready on your brooms, you can try and fly now. Just kick up off the ground and hover a few feet in the air for now." For some of them, that would be difficult enough and might take a few tries. The ones who had an easy time would just have to be patient and wait until they were ready to actually start flying around. Isobel looked to her fellow quidditch players. "If some of them still need help getting on their brooms, a couple of us can stay and help them. The rest of us should fly around with the kids to help them." They had all probably come to the same conclusion already, but saying it out loud helped her feel organized. Isobel had her broom and was eager to fly with the kids, but that was not necessary yet as so far they were all still on the ground and when they did fly they would only be a few feet off the ground at the moment.
*GASP*
*_*
ISOBEL VONHUE HAD JUST SMILED AT HER. Suri BEAMED back, showing off all her VERY WHITE TEETH because she brushed twice a day and sometimes after lunch 'cause Mum made her, and WAVED EXCITEDLY despite the fact that Isobehl Vonhue had already turned back around. Oh well. MANIC WAVING. YES. SO MUCH WAVING SHE FORGOT TO LISTEN and therefore didn't realise it was time to kick off.

Sure, Wylie already KNEW he was sitting on the broom the proper way, he didn't need to follow the sport to know THAT, but wasn't she going to check?
JUST TO MAKE SURE?
He wasn't even convinced that those brooms were SAFE to even FLY. He eyed the thing carefully, all while PURPOSELY ignoring LANCELOT, who was calling his name. Wylie had seen him. Wylie had made sure he was nowhere near him. Wylie wanted to knock that toilet paper helmet right off his head.
And then place it on his own head, to keep himself safe.
Help, though? DID he need help? Why, yes. Yes he did. Wylie unmounted his broom and shuffled just a liiiiiiittle bit closer to the girl who was so KINDLY offering him her help. WAS SHE EVEN LOOKING AT HIM!? Even if she wasn't, he was handing his broom to HER. "See if this is safe for me!" And if it was, then he would MAYBE do all that stuff the Quidditch Pro lady was saying.
After quite a while, Suri realised she should probably stop waving, and instead turned to the boy she was helping. Because she was just the NICEST.
UM.
What.
Suri looked at the boy, and then at the broom, and then back at the boy and frowned. "That's not helping you, that's DYING for you and I never said I'd do that!" Psht. Did she look DUMB? "And just so you know," cue snotty voice, "I have the prooooper kids broom and not that," she gestured at the broom he was holding out, "BABY TRAINING broom. If you want help with flying into the air, I can help you but I'm NOT going flying your broom."
And that was that, Mr. Weirdopants.

Alec exchanged a look with one of his fellow professional players before looking back at the young boy. See, he knew what was special about the brooms but maybe the kids didn't so... that explained the helmet? He didn't think any of them would let something happen to the kids, right? Alec certainly wouldn't.
Still. Smiles for you, Helmet Kid (Lancelot). And for one of the girls (Alice) who'd been there already.
Some more kids started arriving, with some looking... nervous, was it? (David) And others looking fairly miserable (Wylie) from what he could tell. Yeah... Alec hadn't expected this.
Just like he hadn't expected that cry of pain.
Eyes wide, the former Hufflepuff moved forwards to help the girl (Xander) but... someone else (Torie) was there already. Okay, act cool, Summers, act cool. And BREATHE. And smile warmly at all the kids because they must be nervous. Nodnod.
One girl (Suri) got a particularly wide smile, because of the way she was helping another kid. Yeah, he noticed and approved very much. Well done, kiddo.
And it was time to fly!!!! And they were...
... not off.
Oh, how this reminded him of his first time flying. He let the others give instructions since they sounded more confident on the matter and were able to say it without stuttering or pausing a lot. Though, he did turn to Isobel and said, "I'll stay on the ground and help out with the little players." Nodnod. It was only right. And he didn't think he could fly knowing that someone was having trouble.
So... he turned to the others. The younger people. "Is anyone having trouble kicking off of the ground?" Or were they just nervous and no one wanted to go first?
Suri had turned around to ask if they could fly now - you know, so that she could get away from this strange boy next to her who wanted her to FLY HIS BROOM - when she noticed A QUIDDITCH STAR looking at her.
OH OH.
OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. MORE SMILES.
CUE MORE BEAMS FROM HER. BEAMBEAMBEAM. Suri grinned so wide her cheeks HURT and she waved at FAMOUS QUIDDITCH STAR ALEC SUMMERS the same manic waving she had at Isobel Vonhue, but got SO excited she dropped her broom to wave at him with TWO HANDS and then she completely lost her head and BLEW HIM A KISS.
WHA. _D:
Promptly realising what she'd done and blushing furiously, Suri hurriedly dropping down to the ground to hide her face in shame and pick up the fallen broom. Mounting it again, she AVOIDED ALEC SUMMERS' EYES LIKE THE BLACK PLAGUE and kicked off from the ground, wobbling a bit but straightening herself before she fell. Because she could fly. She should be in the other group.
NO ONE LOOK AT HER PLEASE.
