Since Giles seemed busy, Alec opted to answer her question and hoped it was loud enough for everyone to hear. "If you want to land, just tilt the nose of your broom, which is this end bit opposite the twigs," He tapped the nose of his own broom in his hand. "Tilt that towards the ground. Just a small tilt, nothing extreme, yeah? You'll feel yourself descending and just slowly touch down on the ground with your feet. It might take a bit of practice but you'll get there." Smile and thumbs up for you, girl.

Very carefully Xandra manoeuvred her broom around with slow motions as one of the quidditch pros decided to answer her question. Nodding she beamed down at him. “Thanks, I don’t want to land right away I just want to know how to land for when I do want to land so I don’t panic.” And given her clumsiness it could turn bad if she panicked.

Catching Jamesäs eye Xandra rolled her eyes and scoffed impatiently up at him. "The instructors donät know what level of flying experience everyone has so they start with the basic stuff first to give everyone a fair chance to learn and get comfortable on a broom like me. I haven't flied much because my mum hasn't let me, remember?"
