Celandine had stood quietly and listened at the Professors instructions.
Confidently she put her hand over her broom, "Up!" and it came up, but as slippery as it was it slid from her hand almost immediately, luckily she caught it with her other hand; discovering that if she held it gently it wouldn't go sliding everywhere.

She tried her best to ignore the Slytherin drama unfolding...although she was hoping that they wouldn't lose points for it, they were her friends even if they were in a different house.

Frowning she did as the professor said, mounting the broom sideways and holding the broom as gently as possible so that it wouldn't go sliding out of her hands again.
