An old school rival brought itself to the front of his mind as he saw the boy hanging for dear life, rising higher and higher, danger becoming even more imminent. The broom was going to throw him off if Severus didn't act quickly, but his mind was at a blank at what to do.

Immediately words began to spill out of his mouth, as he closed his eyes for a moment, remembering an old friend.
