Kelly walked onto the quidditch pitch, her jeans dragging a little in the morning dew. She had her broom in one hand, and behind her was a young, very excited girl.
Noting the sunrise as they continued to the pitch, she smiled. Once they were there, she turned around.
"Ready to test that thing?" she asked, gesturing towards the new broom that Chantelle held.

Despite her unusual amount of seemingly endless energy in the common room, Chantelle had slowed down a little on the approach to the pitch – of nerves more than anything. However the nerves led to excitement being brought about. Finally, she had a broom of her own!
The twelve year old did a little dance again as she stepped on to the grass of the pitch and when Kelly asked her if she was ready, Channy shielded her eyes and looked skywards, only realizing for the first time how high the goal hoops actually were.
Lowering her gaze to look back at Kelly again, the petite girl nodded determinedly and gripped her new Nimbus 2003 tighter – the nerves starting to build up again.
Those goal hoops were really high…

Kelly watched as Chantelle looked up, apparently examining how high the goal posts were.
"We don't have to go up that high, at first," she commented, seeing the nerves build up in the young girl's face. After seeing the affirmative nod, she began the lesson.
"You remember how to mount the broom and everything, right?" she asked.

Chantelle nodded again, her throat had dried up out of nerves, but she refused to let it bother her any more than that. She was twelve, not a baby!!!!
Mounting the Nimbus 2003 so she was sat on it comfortably, she kicked gently off the ground so she was hovering a little way off the ground.

Once she saw that Chantelle was in the air, she mounted her own broom. Once they were both hovering, she looked back at Channy.
"Shall we try moving now?" she asked.

Looking from the ground below her to the goal hoops way above them, Chantelle squeaked: "O...Okay," before urging the broom slowly forwards. Baby steps, Channy, she told herself, forcing herself not to try anything too big too quickly.

"There, you're getting it!" Kelly said, as Chantelle began to float forward. Kelly glided along beside her, just in case something happened.

At Kelly's encouraging words, Chantelle flew a little higher in the air, trying not to wobble on her broom.
"I'm doing it Kelly!!!!!"
