"If you're comfortable enough, go ahead and have fun flying around. For the adventurous, you can actually get your carpet to hover in the air and stand on it! It's pretty awesome!"
To make his point, Vindictus took off on his magic carpet and reached the twelve foot mark in the air. He carefully stood up and put his hands on his hips.
"You can't do this on a broom without falling off! Now show me how you can fly on these carpets!"
All Jenny could do was to gape with her mouth open. The Professor standing on a flimsy carpet! But he is an expert after all...
Jenny pulled the edge up a bit to make the carpet go a bit higher. Now it was a little more than five feet off the ground. Jenny turned the carpet in a circle as she looked at the view around her. It was incredible! But at the same time it was still scary...
