Lightbulb Flying: A Memory Skills Refresher



It was a nice, crisp December morning. The sun bathed the practice pitch in its dull autumn glow, no clouds to be spotted in the sky. Kennedy had kept close attention to the weather and since there was no snow in the forecast, he decided to set up an activity for his students. One must take advantage of nice weather.

At the entrance to the practice pitch stands the tall Flying Instructor, ready to greet students as they swarm in.

Upon entrance the student will notice wooden boards spread out in intervals and what looks like a nest paired beside each of them. It was an odd set up, that was for sure. What did Professor Escalante have in mind? Come on in and find out. Take a seat on one of the cushions the professor has set out for the comfort of the students.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

It was a surprisingly pretty day, given that December had started. But Jude could get behind more December days like these. He couldn’t help but cast the occasional glance up at the sky as he neared the practice pitch. “Hi, Professor!’’ He offered the former Slytherin a smile. So…

What would the students be doing today? The seventh year took in the setup. Wooden boards? Something like a… nest? Hmmm. But there were cushions which meant that he could head over to one to have a seat. Jude did just that, finding one somewhere in the middle of the mix and settling there.

Flying was a very well liked lesson for this little Third year. Professor Escalante was really nice AND who didn't love getting to be in the air?! This also was almost always a very hands on lesson, which meant plenty of opportunity to work off her boundless amounts of energy. It was all around a win, which was why Vera skipped onto the practice pitch in the highest of spirits.

"Hi Professor!" She chirped, eying the set up. Normally she would make a guess, verbally, on what the plan for the day was and yet.... This time she had zero clue, so instead of saying anything at all she simply found herself a cushion and plopped down. It was certainly nice to have somewhere more COZY to sit while waiting for lessons to begin.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Flying wasn't really Brandon's thing. But he had to come, and that meant that he was here and trying his best to look enthusiastic. "Hello, Professor Kennedy," he said politely, having to look up to look him in the eye. "You picked a nice day for this." He took a seat on one of the cushions. Brandon was not the best or happiest flier, but he did like comfortable seating and physical activity. He wasn't grumpy.

If there was one thing that Desiree Marchand had learned in her nearly four years at Hogwarts, it was that Hogwarts was full of surprises. One of the more pleasant sort was that she rather liked flying. Who would've thought? As such, she was in a cheery mood today. A class she liked, one of her favorite professors, and nice, sunny weather for this time of year… what was there not to be happy about?

She arrived, dressed in comfortable athletic wear like the notice said, but there was no reason comfortable had to be boring, right? Today she was feeling beastly, so she went for blue and gold sweatpants, a blue sweatshirt with a rose graphic, and matching sneakers. "Good morning, Professor," she greeted with a smile and a princessy wave.

Cue more waves for Jude, Vera, and Brandon. "Hi!" Desiree greeted as she took a seat on one of the cushions. She eyed the setup with an intrigued expression. Hmm, boards and… was that a nest? What was that for? Were they supposed to roll something over the boards and into the nests? She had no idea!

While he found himself a pretty good flyer, Rajesh still continued with the flying lessons for fun and air time. This one in particular was listed as a refresher and the Ravenclaw was curious to see what it would be about in comparison to what might have been originally taught in his early years when Professor Escalante hadn’t been around. It was always interesting to see different teaching styles and knowledge. “Good morning, Professor,” he greeted the man as he moved towards the entrance to the pitch before passing through to the actual field.

A field that had a collection of boards and what seemed like nests scattered about. Alrighty then, the Ravenclaw leaving it to be revealed as he took a seat on one of the free cushions.

On this crisp december morning Maria headed down to the pitch in her comfortable athletic clothes and shoes hoping that she wouldn't freeze to the point of ice cube before the fun even started. At the entrance to the practice pitch Maria headed over to the cushions to sit down. On the way she sent a bright smile in Professor Escalante's direction "Good morning professor Escalante. It's a nice morning for broom flying." she noted, if that was what they were doing?

On the way to sit down Maria sent waves and smiles in greeting to her friends as she headed for a particilar cushion. "Hi Desiree! Hi Jude, Hi Rajesh, Hi Brandon!" Sitting down on the empty cushion next to Vera she playfully, but gently poked her good friend in the side. "Hi Vera, what is it I'm hearing? Are you crushing on a boy too and haven't told me?" It was out at least among some badgers that she was crushing on Kion of the lions.

It really was such a lovely day. Yukie made note of it, as she made her way to the practice pitch for the flying activity. Like the notice had said, she had dressed herself in comfy activewear, figuring they would be doing stuff that required much movement. Maybe she'd go sit by the lake later too, to work on some art on the journal Ren got for her. Truly, one must take advantage of such cozy weather.

"Good morning, professor," the littlest Rasting greeted the flying instructor with a smile as she moved to join the rest of her classmates who arrived before her. Yukie plopped on a cushion beside her dorm mate, Desiree, and wiggled her fingers at the other Hufflepuff as acknowledgment. Hey, hi, hello!

Why were there nests beside the wooden boards? Maybe it was a setup for a game of basketball. Quaffleball, maybe? No. Basketquaffle?

Regulus still didn't understand why first years were not allowed to bring their own brooms to school. He had a perfectly good one at home, which his dad had bought for him when he had turned ten, the day they'd thought the worst times were done with. Regulus had been pleasantly surprised to discover that flying was something he could do well, a natural talent as opposed to one he'd had to work hard at.

But the brooms. Surely it made more sense that anyone who had one could bring it so that there was less competition for the school brooms. What did they think would happen if first years had their own? And what about if a broom was a comfort object, and being able to fly like normal helped first years feel better about being so far from home, especially for the first time? Hogwarts would really deprive their youngest students a simple home comfort?

Oh, that was a good one. Regulus made a mental note of it as he strolled towards the practice pitch from the castle, formulating debates in his head as he so often did to pass any solitary long walks between common room, classes, and meals. Maybe he'd actually try out his persuasive skills on the flying instructor, or the Headmaster, just for the heck of it. Maybe not. There were other things keeping him preoccupied too.

He arrived at the practice pitch in black joggers, and a navy blue hoodie with a scarf in his house colours tucked into the front. There was no snow, but he felt the bite of the chill, and anything to do with flying ended up very hit and miss with whether he would warm up or end up a... a Regulucicle. Better to be prepared.

"Good morning," Regulus said to Professor Escalante as he arrived at the pitch. He cast an eye over the lesson set up as always, then took a seat on the cushion beside Brandon, like there was nothing out of the ordinary here. Which there wasn't, really. Cryptic lesson set-ups were perfectly normal, as far as he was concerned.

It was a rare nice December day, Maisey wasn't complaining one bit. She loved days like this, especially when the weather really started to turn cold. What made it even better is they were having a flying lesson today and they would get to go outside and spend sometime outside. The day was nice, so it was a good day to be able to dress comfy and go out.

As she headed to the practice pitch, the first person she seen was the tall professor himself. "Hello, Professor Escalante." She bustled by him smiling, excited as always for his lessons. There were already a number of others there. She smiled as she past some of the older students. She looked over and seen what the professor had set up of them today. She tried to guess what they would be doing today.

Kennedy found himself doing the same as Jude, looking up at the sky on occasion. It was more due to his lack of trust in the weather. Some days they had nice days in the morning and the next thing you knew, it was raining by noon then snowing ten minutes later. Trust issues, man.

Something he did trust, though, was Jude’s flying abilities and Kennedy couldn't wait to see how the young man would handle this activity. “Good morning, Mister Anders. I hope you came prepared.” Kennedy tapped his temple, emphasizing this wasn’t just any flying activity.

Following, arrived Vera in her usual chirpy self. Kennedy smiled kindly at her. “Good day, Miss Thanatos.” What? No guess today on what they were going to do? Did he stump her? Excellent. Kennedy was quite proud of himself.

Here was Brandon. Kennedy had specific instructions from his daughter to keep this little guy safe at all costs. Violeta seemed to take a quick liking to the kid, and Kennedy had explained that his lessons were not dangerous. They were simply designed to challenge the students, and that’s exactly what he had in mind today. “Good morning, Mister Fox.”

It was already December and yet Kennedy still felt a relief when he saw students coming to class, carefree. Desiree had seemed miserable last term, and within reason, and this term it was a 360. Kennedy welcomed her cheery, fashionable self with a smile and curt nod in response to her princess wave. “Good morning, Miss Marchand.”

Another of his talented flyers. Along with Jude, Rajesh was one of the handful of students Kennedy trusted to set an example for the younger ones. He wondered if any of the two were considering professional Quidditch, and if not, he would be more than pleased to write recommendation letters for university, or in anything they planned to do after Hogwarts. He would make sure to call them both and offer them his service.

As it was, this wasn’t time for it, so he’ll do it later. “Good day, Mister Atreyu-Rehman.”

Ah, someone who noticed the weather. Kennedy had made the effort to select a day with no snow for the sake of the students--and the activity. For both. “Good morning, Miss Dolph. It really is a great day for flying.” They were definitely going to be doing lots of that this morning.

Kennedy returned the smile with a gentle one of his own. If you had told him one day that he’d be teaching his former classmates’ children, Kennedy would have rolled his eyes. Yet, here he was, teaching more than just one of his classmates’ kids. Kurumi’s bunch gave him--what did his daughter call it--feels? Yeah, it gave him that. “Nice day, Miss Rasting.”

The flow of students started to dwindle down after some time. Kennedy checked his watch, there was still a few minutes left before the activity began. Here came another brave soul. “Good day, Mister Evans.” He didn’t seem to show the same curiosity as the rest of his classmates. Did he not wonder what Kennedy was about to put them through?

There were already a number of others there. She smiled as she past some of the older students. She looked over and seen what the professor had set up of them today. She tried to guess what they would be doing today.
After little miss Maisey arrived, Kennedy decided it was time to start. He smiled at her, “Good morning, Miss Wilde.” He waited for her to head inside before doing so himself. If there were any late stragglers that’d be fine. This activity was for fun and challenging skills.



“Good day and welcome to the practice pitch,” he announced as he reached the front of the group of students. “As you may already be aware this activity will be a fun way to challenge and sharpen your skills.” So there would be no need to lose their feathers if things didn’t go their way. “Today we will be putting not only your flying skills, but your memory skills to practice as well. Now, you may all be wondering how?” Kennedy resisted the smirk that wanted to break out.

His wand slipped into his hand and he gave it a wave. At once the all of the boards levitated a few feet off the ground and turned to face the students. They weren’t just boards, they held a puzzle. The nests remained below their respective boards, but they were no longer empty. They were filled with different colored eggs, and if you looked closer, they had marks that resembled that of the puzzle pieces.

“You will be tasked to replicate this puzzle on the empty boards located at the opposite side of this field.” Kennedy signaled said empty boards with his wand, all spaced out, one for every student. “All pieces must contain the same color, same design and must be placed in the right spot in order to be complete.” Now for one of the fun bits. “You must be wondering where the puzzle pieces are and what are these eggs doing here?” He gave them a slanted smile. “These eggs are the puzzle pieces. You must collect an egg that matches the piece you are going to place on the board, and deliver it on a spoon across this field while flying on your broom. Beware, these eggs could be quite capricious and like to stir up some trouble. If you are to drop one, the egg will simply reappear back in its nest. Once you reach the board, the egg will transform into a puzzle piece and you will have to place it where it belongs on the board. You will repeat these steps until it is complete.” It wasn’t that hard, was it? “Be on the lookout for challenges that might pop up.”

Kennedy felt confident that while this might be challenging, the students were capable of doing it. They’ve practiced more than just the basics this term, they had this. “Just a recap, you will memorize the puzzle while simultaneously flying an egg on a spoon to the opposite side of the field and completing the puzzle on your respective board. Come up here and collect a wooden spoon and a broom, then select a puzzle board. At the sound of my whistle you’ll begin. Good luck.”

He waited for the students to come up and grab a broomstick. For today they were using the school designated brooms. No ifs, ands, or buts. It was for their own broom’s sake, honestly.

Eyeing the students, Kennedy brought the whistle to his lips and blew. GO!


OOC: Hellooooo! Glad to see you all here! This is a fun little obstacle course where the students must use their memorization skills and see how it fares during challenges. I’ll be hopping in to spice things up sometime tomorrow. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send me a PM. Happy RPing/Flying! <3

As Vera sat waiting for class to begin, her legs bounced from their criss crossed position because she was horrible at holding still. Hopefully it wasn't too disruptive, except... Then again the lesson hadn't technically started so... It probably didn't matter if it WAS. She watched the other students arrivals, smiling and returning the wave of the nice older Hufflepuff who spent majority of last term as a wombat. Was it bad Vera had already grown to associate the yellow house with the wombat due to that instead of the badger??? Soz Maria. Which speak of the devil!!

The third year lioness BEAMED at her friend, wiggling a bit at the side poke before dramatically falling over to the side to rest her head on the other girls shoulder. "Mariaaaaa. Hi!" This position was VERY short lived though, as at the wombat badger's words she bolted upright and turned with WIDE eyes. "whose saying what?!" For the record this panic was not because she had any specific attachment to any boy maybe nor was it that she was hiding it from her friends if she did just maybe herself, she didn't know. The panic was because there was a small list of people a rumor like that could be referencing and she was quite concerned about how some might take it if it fell to the wrong ears.

But shoot!! There was not enough time to talk about it as it was, as class was starting and apparently they were playing a memory game??? The flying part she felt confident on. Memory?? Yeah, not in the slightest. With the smallest of sighs, she stood from her spot to go and retrieve a broom, and a spoon, before heading back and readying herself on the former. She STARED at the board with the puzzle for as long as possible, trying to burn the image into her brain, before the whistle went off and she was on her way.

Putting the egg on the spoon and balancing proved to be a difficulty and Ve had to pick the same blue circle back up 3 times before she got the hang of it. And once she did, it was time to attempt to fly through the air with it. The calling the eggs capricious had her concerned it was going to start screeching at her like a mermaid egg, but still. She persevere!

But Merlin, this was already more difficult than she would have thought. Or was that also due to her distraction? She'd blame that, it made her feel better.

Dear Merlin Maxine was terrified of doing this. Flying last year didn't go well - flying this year ... well not going well. She wasn't sure why she even showed up for class - no one would really noticed if she slipped away would they? For being a Gryffindor this was the place she was most cowardly. She preferred to have her feet firmly on the ground.

But none the less, she grabbed a spoon, a broom, and an egg/puzzle piece and preparred for take off - was her her body shaking or was it just the spoon? She wasn't sure. Maxine chose to mount the broom first, once she felt like she had a good grip, she pulled the egg out of her pocket and tried to balance it an her spoon. She was suppose to fly one handed. Everything about this lesson sounded terrible.

"What happens if the egg breaks?" She asked out loud - not to anyone in particular but just asking for a friend.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Jude grinned and waved back at his favourite fashionista - Desiree. He really didn’t have to comment on her outfit, right? She should already know that he loved it! And… wasn’t Maria just chipper? The older Puff lifted a hand in greeting.

Anyway. Yes, he was all prepared and ready for what Escalante had prepped for them today. This is why he paid close attention to the instructions and information being given. Okay, the boards were now facing them and the nests now held eggs. The Hufflepuff did a double take, carefully observing what he was seeing with regard to those patterns. He turned his upper body to take in the empty boards behind the gathering.The instructions were rapidly repeated mentally. Yeah, he thought he had it all down. This was going to be a challenge but it was going to be loads of fun at the same time!

Spoon and broom gathered, Jude selected a board. He spent all of the remaining time squinting at the pattern as though squinting would aid him in properly memorizing the patterns. Then there was the sound of the whistle. He quickly snagged an egg with the green star. Soon enough, the seventh year was on the broomstick with the egg on the spoon and he was off, carefully attempting to balance the egg while heading for the other side of the pitch.

Unfortunately for him, this wasn’t that easy of a feat because already the egg had been dropped once which resulted in him having to start all over again. Now Jude was on his second attempt, trying his best not to have the egg escape again.

Okay the boards were now filled with instructions as they floated in the air before them. And there were eggs appropriately in the birds’ nests. Rajesh was watching everything happening and listening to Professor Escalante and trying to follow along the best he could with what was going on and what was to be expected of them. Eggs equals puzzle pieces…got that. Need to match said eggs with the markings on the board you picked with the corresponding puzzle board across the pitch…sort of got that. Carrying eggs one at a time across the pitch on a broom while dealing with tricks?

That was something to be concerned about.

There would definitely be a lot of flying but just how much would be it heading back to repeat a mistake? If only the eggs were bigger like dragon bigger and you could hold in in your arm. That he would be better at. Raj got up to his feet when they were given the go ahead with a whistle, the seventh year biting his lip as he mulled over which board to pick with his borrowed broom in hand. Finally picking one, he did his best to memorize the patterns on it, retrieving a spoon and one of the eggs that fit the bill before boarding his room and kicking off. Balancing said egg on the horizontal spoon in his free grasp when he was up in the air at a decent height.

Now for flying…the Ravenclaw heading tentatively towards the other end at a slower than usual pace.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Brandon cheered up a little when Regulus arrived and sat by him (the other boy got a wave and a little smile), and again when the idea of memory was mentioned. Brandon had an excellent memory, and he was a lot better at that than he was at flying. And egg-carrying. Honestly, just knowing that the professor wouldn't yell at him if he dropped it was making him worse at egg-carrying. "What's capricious?" Brandon asked anxiously. Were the eggs going to do something weird? Were the eggs trying to make him fail??? Despite the professor's constant reassurances, Brandon still looked at him with wide, worried eyes at least once a class.

When the activity started, Brandon easily memorized the puzzle and picked up the egg with the star. This puzzle was easy. Sadly, the balancing was not so easy and it took many tries to even get the egg properly balanced on the spoon. Then he tried the actual flying... he wobbled. A lot. Then he tried to imagine his dad standing behind him and watching to see if he was doing it right. That obviously wasn't the right approach, because he got all stressed and tensed and the egg fell off. New strategy: pretending the professor was watching... wait. The professor WAS watching!!! Brandon lost his nerve, and had to start over again. This time, he pretended that he himself really wanted to do this correctly, because it was very important to the safety of the universe. Slowly and wobblily, he made his way across the pitch.

He was F O C U S E D. Brandon always looked very determined and intense when he was trying his best, which was a lot of the time. He just wanted to do things right because he needed people to tell him he was doing a good job.

Off they went!

The practice pitch was suddenly charged with nerves and uncertainty, Kennedy could tell by the expressions the students wore. It might seem hard at first as all new things did. They needed repetition and practice, and by the end of this puzzle, they’ll have it in their pocket. No challenge was ever easy in the beginning. And what kind of instructor would he be if he gave them easy tasks? They’d learn nothing, that’s what.

He also understood the nerves of flying one-handed, and since that was something they already practiced this term, he was placing those acquired skills to practice. Vera seemed to get the hang of it. Jude and Rajesh were up and doing their best too.

When he heard Maxine, Kennedy replied, “The eggs are charmed and won’t break. Once they fall off the spoon they will disappear and appear back in their nest.” As he had explained. He figured having the eggs break would make the activity all too messy, and he didn’t want to waste eggs either.

When he heard another voice, Kennedy approached Brandon's board. "Capricious means their mood is a bit unstable. They like to wiggle from time to time." Which could be challenging at times, but it wasn't a constant feature. "There's no need to worry, it's a feature that doesn't happen often." That was something set for the more advanced.

Okay, so Jude was having some issues. See, he was ambidextrous BUT he favoured his left side. Right now, the guy was alternating in trying to find out which hand he’d be more comfortable holding the spoon in. It turned out he dropped the egg {yes, he was still working on the first} from his right hand as much as his left. He was not amused. Nuh uh. Not a bit. And it didn’t help that the egg wiggled at times! Maybe he should just stick the spoon between his teeth.

It didn't matter at that moment because Jude came to the end, successfully too, of that first round. Indeed the egg transformed into the puzzle piece. The boy hovered there, picturing the board he had just departed from. Luckily for him, he recalled exactly where the piece should go and he stuck it on the board before him.

Back to the other side then!

Brandon added the word capricious to his mental vocabulary, hoping the capricious eggs were like a certain capricious family member and not a certain other capricious family member. Maybe they could be placated in the ways he already knew to use on people. A boy could hope.

"Capricious doesn't seem like a synonym for wiggly," Brandon said to himself out loud. Wiggly wasn't scary. In fact, his eggs weren't even that wiggly (maybe they knew he really didn't want them to be). It took him fewer and fewer tries to get the eggs until eventually he wasn't dropping them at all most of the time. He was almost done!

No, Brandon didn't look very cool anxiously-wobblily-flying. But he wasn't dropping the eggs anymore, which was a win.

The flying part, Yukie found pretty easy. She'd been on a broom before without falling off, so truly that meant she was an ace at this. As for the memorisation, Yukie figured she'd be able to handle that well. Sure, she'd forget the year of a goblin rebellion but she was going to rely on patterns which would be easier for her. But of course, there was the issue of the wiggly eggs on spoons. Maybe Professor Escalante wanted the students to liken them to holding quaffles in an actual game of Quidditch, because that's what Yukie thought they seem to be.

With one of the school brooms in hand, Yukie joined the others in retrieving a spoon and an egg. She eyed egg in her hand, as if mentally sending messages to it so it won't let her down on the way to the other side of the pitch.

The littlest Rasting mounted on the broom and hopped off, so she was hovering above the ground for now. Once she found her balance without holding the broom handle, Yukie held the spoon out and placed her egg on it. She'd stay here for now, to work on balance before she could allow herself to whoosh away.

What if they just cradled the capricious eggs instead? Like babies?

Hope was overjoyed to be outside on a lovely day, and she felt quite confident about this exercise. She and her siblings had all learned to fly on brooms from an early age, and they all had been playing games together flying on them for years. And carrying the eggs in a spoon--that was just like some of the games they played back home (surely this would be easier than trying to run and flip a pancake at the same time!)

She was also relieved that the school brooms were provided, because she hadn't brought hers--it was a hand-me-down and homemade and it really was looking rather ratty by now, and she would have been ashamed to bring it out in front of some of these students with their fancy racing brooms. So she happily picked out a broom that looked particularly like it would like to be taken for a nice flying session, took off on it, and headed for the nest of eggs. She had looked at the puzzle carefully, or pretty carefully, at least, and now she gently raised a red egg with a green circle on it and took off at a moderate pace across the field. She had no trouble at all balancing the egg and before she knew it, she was in front of her empty board.

Now...where had the green circle on the red background been? Hope had been sure she had memorized the puzzle, but it seemed that the excitement of flying across the field had weakened her memory of how it went. Hmmm....ah, she thought she had it! Carefully, she placed the puzzle piece that had once been an egg in the upper right corner of the puzzle.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

On his way back to collect another egg, Jude took the time to practice flying one handed by leaving his right hand on the broom. It turned out he was actually good at it as he flew in a straight line and without any problem. At first, he was confused but then, almost as he was back with the eggs, it clicked: he had been so focused on trying not to drop the egg from earlier that he hadn’t been focusing properly on flying. Only now could Jude fully appreciate the activity which the professor had set up for them. It truly did test in more ways than one.


His other conclusion? He needed to focus equally on both flying and carrying the egg simultaneously. Or at least he had to try harder.

The seventh year scooped up another egg-puzzle, this time a green piece with the red circle. It was easily balanced on the spoon but almost immediately as he took off for the opposite end of the pitch, the egg started squirming.

Uh oh.

Kennedy observed the students, some struggling more than others, and that was fine because this was a game with a learning opportunity. He watched as Jude finished his first round after consistently doing his best. Brandon was incredibly wobbly and Kennedy admired his perseverance. Yukie was trying something different, seemingly practicing her balance before doing anything else. Creative. Green eyes roamed around, finally landing on Hope placing the piece in the wrong slot.

“Great job, everyone,” Kennedy announced. “Make sure you do your best to remember the correct order of your puzzle. When you complete it, let me know and I’ll come over.” And if it wasn’t correct the students would have the opportunity to rearrange the pieces until they were in the right spot. Until then, he’d hold off from over-explaining so as to not distract them.

As more students went back and forth, Kennedy proudly noticed a few cracking the code. “Everyone pause for a bit,” he said. “As some of you might have figured out, the eggs will mimic your flight movement. The smoother you fly, the less the egg will wiggle. The rockier the flight, the more the egg will move.” The eggs didn’t like their peace disturbed. "You may continue."

Now that they had that piece of information, what were they going to do with it?

Ooops that didn't go as planned was Maria instant reaction as her friend bolted upright, and went from beaming at her to panicked wide eyes. Maybe in hindsight she should have asked Vera about it after class? Thinking before acting Maria was bad at sometines and thus this little nugget had blurted out. "It was just a lot talk in the corridors about you being seen chatting a loooooooooong time with a lion boy in the portraits corridor. Logan I think?"

Maria didn't though not have time to reassure Vera that she wasn't intending to upset her. She just thought it was fun that they both had crushessss. Prof Escalante however decided that it was the perfect time to start class. Maria gave her friend a last glance before focusing on the instructions. They had to choose a puzzle board, memorize the pattern and then fly on a broom across the pitch, collect an egg and at the same time balance said egg puzzle piece on a spoon back to lay it on the board.

Her hand and eye coordination wasn't the best and on top it off she had to balance on a broom. Last time she had been lucky to not fly into the whomping willow. Trying not to worry too much Maria picked up a board for herself as well as a spoon and a broom before memorizing the first puzzle piece. She needed a blue egg with a red cross on it for the piece in the right bottom corner.

On Prof Esclante's signal she kicked off from the ground on her broom and flew over the pitch. On the other side she picked up the right blue egg and tried to balance it on her spoon. It took her four failed attempts where she had dropped the egg being very glad her shoes didn't look like scambled eggs when she on the fifth attempt manged to balance the egg on the spoon without dropping it as she mounted her broom carefully, kicked off from the ground, and flew back the way she had come to place the egg on her puzzle board.

Elated of her success Maria memorized the colour and shape of the next egg and mounted her broom and kicked off into air to fly to the egg nest.

So .. don't wiggle? That was the whole plan? Don't move or wiggle on the broom and it would all be okay.

Maxine had successfully made one pass - going about 1.2 miles per hour, but she had done it. Now she grabbed another egg and began the second journey. Trying her best not to smash it. "Slow and steady wins the race" She told herself .... trying to pick up a little speed to get this task over with as soon as possible.
