Vivian Fairfield would never be late for this!
Here came another first year. Tiara glanced at her watch when the girl asked about being late. "
Not late, no, but we are getting ready to begin soon. Fetch yourself a broom!"
Speaking of which, it was time to get going.
"Okay everyone, grab your broom and gather around!"
She waited a bit for a little circle to form. "
Right, good morning! Let me assure those of you that are nervous that you will be just fine as long as you follow directions. Plus a cushioning charm on the ground cannot hurt." Literally.
"
Before you can begin to fly, you must earn your broom's trust and likewise learn to trust your broom. Please place your broom on the ground under your dominant hand." She reached behind her and grabbed her own Firebolt, then she placed it on the ground on her right side. "
Stretch out your hand over your broom," she demonstrated herself, "
and firmly ask your broom to come up to your hand. Up!" Her broom flew up into her hand right away.
"
It may take you a few tries. Just be confident and your broom will eventually listen. Give it a go!"
