Reaching the ground unscathed, Raine dismounted her broom and helped Lizzie pry her clenched fingers off hers. Raine walked her over to a bench saying, "Just sit down here, Lizzie, don't get up unless you feel sick. If you are sick, find Professor Vindictus and ask to go to the hospital. I'll keep an eye on you from the air." Raine hoped Lizzie wouldn't think less of her for sounding like somebody's mother, but she smiled at her, then remounted and took off. the professor would probably be in the air anyway, and she could find him there and tell him about Lizzie. But first, she had a Gryffindor's pride to mend.
Lizzie was glad to be back on the ground, and almost got tears in her eyes when Reine was so kind to her.
"Oh Reine, think you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you.." She gave her friend a hug, and then sat down on the bench, watching Reine take off again. She just hoped she'd learn to fly someday, but surely not today.
