Now for the meat of the day, as everyone was right on track. "Alright everyone, it's time to mount onto your broom. Just swing your leg over the broom and keep a steady grip with your dominate hand over your hand. Like so." The Groundskeeper demonstrated for them. "Now first thing we'll be doing is taking off. Once you're fully mounted you are to face in the direction of the air before kicking off the ground with a single jump into a hover." That sounded like a good way to start...

But that was not a lot of fun to Justin, who then grinned from slightly above all once he kicked off. "So once you're hovering, you'll be able to do a little task that'll get you to keep your balance." And with that, he aimed his wand at the occasionally giggling trunk to unlock it, revealing floating fireflies. "They will be floating around this area only, so all you have to do is keep following them through these hoops." With another flick of his wand, there revealed the many hoops some were high and some low near the ground around the Pitch. The highest ones didn't reach the height of the stands, but high enough to get one shaking from the distance.

"Once you've kicked off and found your balance from a short hover you can take off after the fireflies and fly through ten hoops. If you wanna keep a firefly, it's fine by me if you decide to grab hold of one." Taking his whistle out again, On my whistle you can begin. Three, two..."

*TWEEEEET*

OOC: Another task, all you need to do is just hover enough till your character is comfortable enough to take off after the fireflies through the ten hoops. This should take no more than four labeled posts. You'll have two days from this post.

Jonas was finally in the air. He hovered around for a moment or two. Considering he lived in a muggle household, he hadn't flown all summer the year before...so he was a bit rusty when it came to certain things, like flying for instance. Getting the feeling in his air legs, he took off at a steady pace scanning around for the first firefly. Why were they chasing fireflies? You could hardly see them in the daylight. He sighed. Now he knew how seakers felt trying to find the snitch.
