Pacing up and down the pitch, Hailey took another look at the brooms and smiled. They were used and slightly beaten, but he thought the first years would have a better time of learning to fly if they had something newer than a Cleansweep 8. The Nimbus 2000 wasn't no Prix, but there was no way he'd start the kids on anything like that even if he could get his hands on one. Nope, the 2000s would have to do. Anyone who complained would find themselves appreciating the brooms even more after Hailey gave them an afternoon together in which the broomsticks would find themselves shinier and the student would, hopefully, be found a bit quieter.

Asap was the first on the pitch for the flying lessons, him being first into class was a first. But it meant he didn't know where do go since there were no desks. So he stood quietly to the left of the door and observed the pitch; there were a bunch of no-so-new brooms and the professor who he also recognized as the librarian. He shifted uncomfortable and leaned against the wall as he waited for the next student to arrive. He almost went up to the professor and asked where to stand or sit because was very excited about this class but that was not his way so he stood in the shadows in silence and waited.

Sabrina was so excited for this class. To be true, she didn't know they were going to have it at the start of school, since they weren't allowed brooms. That was a really stupid thought. she then decided. When she finally got to the field, only one other person was there. Asap. She saw him standing there, looking bored and uncomfortable. She walked right up to him and said, "Hey there Asap. How's it goin?"

Artemis arrived on the pitch looking around the area with awe on his face and he muttered one simple word and this was the first time he had muttered this word in his time at hogwarts. "amazing, I Belong here this is wonderfull."

Michelle walked onto the feild a bundle full of excitement. Seeing Sabrina and Asap she ran over to them bouncing to a stop at their side. "Hey guys!"
She flashed them a bright smile. "We'll ace this class eh? Heck we're already experts!"
The 'adventure' they had had a few nights ago was hard for her to forget. Of course, jumping out of the owelry window to fly was always fun.

Asap nodded in greeting and remained silent for a few moments before answering, "well enough." He looked over at Michelle as she approached them and said nothing. True he had flown with them and played rag, but that was an excuse to being on a broom. He did not hate either of them but still would prefer to be left alone. When she spoke he nodded before looking back out over the pitch. "You should hurry and get good brooms, right here is not where the class is."

Kyle approached the small group of people there. He hadn't flown much before, and the couple of times that he did he ended up with quite some injuries. But he's not very concerned about that. At least he probably didn't need to worry about ducking between bushes and trees when he flied here.

Flying. Whoopee.
Bloody hell. Did they actually expect those dead afraid of heights to get up into the air and fly? Geez. This particular first year was paranoid about heights, and this class wasn't going to be fun at all. Staring at the pitch, the Huffle almost shook in his socks. He wasn't only afraid of heights (although the rumour was the brooms didn't fly high), he was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of his peers. From what the boasting of fellow firsties had been, he would be the only one not having flown prior to coming into Hogwarts.
Chewing his bottom lip as the firstie entered the pitch, Nathan walked up to the line of rather outdated brooms, not wanting to look at them.

Sarsha very hesitantly made her way down to the quidditch pitch. She had only found out a few days before that they actually flew on brooms. It was a very scary concept. But what worried her more was the mention of the quidditch pitch. They weren't actually going to play that dreaded sport were they? Kyle had told her that loads of people got injured playing it and so now, she was worried and it showed on her face.
Sarsha moved onto the pitch and noticed all the other firsties, unfortunately she had also heard some of their boasting about how good they were on brooms. She shook slightly. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go through with this. She could see the other little boy, who she had seen in the hufflepuff common room looking as terrified as she felt. She also spotted Kyle. He didn't exactly look all that confident either.
She walked over to Kyle, and stood next to a broom next to him. "H...hello" she said nervously. She was not keen on flying one bit.

"Hey, there you are. I was just wondering if you are going to find yourself an excuse and skip this class," Kyle joked, but this time he caught onto her expression. Poor girl, he figured any muggle would think they were nuts, flying on broomstick and all.
"Hey, it's going to be okay," he reassured her. "This is a beginner's class. We definitely won't be going high, or fast," he now regretted telling her about the injuries. "So nothing will happen."

"Some of you look a bit lost," Hailey spoke after some time, directing his voice to those standing at the end of the pitch. He always wondered why they tended to huddle there. You didn't park yourselves in the doorway of a classroom when waiting for the first class of the year to start, did you? "Yes, we're over here. By the brooms. Don't touch them. Just stand next to them."

Artemis walked over to one of the newer brooms and stood with it on his right side. (Incidental) "Hey are we gonna ride these or sit on the ground all day?" Artemis yelled at the man in the robes. his face was almost playful but had a serious sarcastic tone.

Michelle glanced over at Asap. She got the vibe he wasn't too thrilled to have her and Sabrina around. Maybe he was like the other Slytherin people, contrary to what she had thought. They were cool to be around as long as it wasn't in public.
Michelle frowned and shrugged. "C'mon Brina, let's go get a broom."

"Now, you aren't going to fly vithought me now are you?" Flora laughed as she walked onto the pitch. At first she wasn't sure wether she would come or not, but her sister convinced her that learning something about flying could be good for her. However, Flora was excited. At least she managed to secretly return her sister's broom without a scratch before she found out that Flora took it for a ride.

Michelle jogged over to Flora giving her a quick hug. "Hey girlie. Bout time you got here. I almost felt like I was gonna have to start flying without you again."
She gave her friend a wink. "C'mon, me and Brina were just about to go and get a broom. We can get some next to each other."
Before leading on, she gave one last look/glare toward Asap then shifted her gaze to the line of brooms. "Let's get the ones on the end."
