"Everyone wake up!" Cries Evelyn, from what seems very far away.

"Rose! Rose! Rose, for Merlin's sakes wake up!" the familiar voice of Val brings me back to earth from my sleep. I rub my eyes and see Val grinning down at me.

"Rose! It's our flying lesson today!" She beams and goes to my case and throws me my clothes.

"You're excited?!" Were my first words as I pulled on my uniform and robes. Val nods and shakes Carly from her beauty sleep.

"Alright, I'm awake," Carly mumbles, sitting up "No need to strangle me."

Val dodges Carly's pillow which seemed to aim for her head and comes back to me, seeing that I'm ready.

Val, Evelyn and I trample down to the Hall, Evelyn talking to us animatedly about her Dad's broomstick. I nod politely, "ooo"ing and "aaah"ing in the right places, but to be honest I don't understand half the words coming out of her mouth. They're all complicated sport words that make as much sense as the American word for football. Soccer, it's just really not necessary.

It seems like dragon's years until we reach the hall, Val's head practically in her bowl of porridge.

"Hungry?" Teases Albus as he comes, Val lifts up her head.

"Yes. That is why I am eating."

Albus laughs and wishes us luck, then I noticed he couldn't stop staring at the honey colour eyed girl from Hufflepuff. I smile to myself and make mental note to tell Val.

Eventually Val stopped eating and we made our way down to the Training Grounds.

"-I mean it's not that I don't want, but what if I fall? I'm quite afraid of heights..." Vicky continues, who is expressing her fear of riding a broom.

"Just don't fall of and you'll be fine," Val says simply. Val herself seems quite confident and as for me...well I think I'll be okay, at least I'm not working myself up like Vicky, I just need to relax...stay calm...breathe normally...

Then I spot the brooms...what?! Those are the oldest, flakiest brooms I've ever seen! What are they thinking putting us on those death traps and sending us miles up into the air? This horrible, I'm not going on one of those Merlin forsaken twigs!

"Excuse me?" A sweet voice comes from my right, I turn and see it was the honey eyed girl that Albus was looking at. She has dark hair, but unlike Val's wild mess, it was straight and tied into low bunches. She has a pointy pale face, with full lips and thin nose. I have to admit she reminded me of fairy.

"You look very pale," she continues "Do you need a sit down? Are you afraid of flying?"

That's when I realise that my fingers were digging into my palms - my nails already chewed off.

"Now your ears have gone red. Do you have a fever?"

"What?" I say, she was so...nice. It was kind of weird.

"Is it because of the brooms? Because I'm nervous too." She says reassuringly.

"I'm fine..." I say, a little bewildered. I then tell myself off for acting spoilt about the brooms, what's getting into me?

"Oh, okay! I'm Sara by the way." She says, holding out her hand. Nervous? Her hand was as solid as a dragon's hide! Wait a second, Sara? That was the girl who helped Scorpius with his Charm's work.

"I'm Rose. You helped my friend Scorpius? In Charms?" I say, making sure I have the right Sara.

Sara nods "Yes that was me, he's rather...you know! Don't you think?"

Complete silence. Scorpius? Really? Val is the first one to make any noise, by a burst of laughter.

"S-Scorpius?" She says between breaths "Scorpius Malfoy? Ha! Maybe if he cut off his girly haircut!"

I giggle along, I can't help it. Val's right, he does need a haircut. Sara laugh quietly.

"I guess you girls just like him as friends then don't you?"

"Yeah! Boys are gross," Val says "I mean, it's not like we're ever date them or anything. Albus is Rose's cousin and Scorpius and I...no! Ew, just no! Plus we're only eleven...why would you fancy someone now?"

"I can't help it," Sara argues "If I like him, I like him."

Val rolls her eyes. "Whatever you say."

Actually, now that I think about it it was Albus' birthday this weekend! I'll ask Roxy to buy a packet of chocolate frogs for me on Saturday.

"Val?"

"Yeah?"

"It's Albus' birthday on Sunday."

"Oh! I'll need to get him something, I'll ask my mum to send something through owl - once she plucks up the courage to touch one."

"Alright, everyone find a broom!" Calls a low voice of a young man - Professor Cook "They're all old and slow so it doesn't matter which you choose."

Val and I stand next to each other, Sara on the other side of me.

"Now, boys and girls, hold your hand over the broom and shout 'up'."

I did as he said and hold my hand over the broom, I take a few deep breaths and shout "Up!"

...Nothing

"Up!"

Nothing.

"Up!"

The broom shoots into my hand and almost knocks me over, I look up about half of the class had done it, Val has done it too.

"Up!" Vicky shouts again, the broom swings round and trips her up. Val and I stifle our laughs as she climbs to her feet, her robes dirty from the mud.

Soon the rest of the class manage to get their broomsticks ready and Professor Cook begins to walk up and down shouting instructions.

"Kick of with strength but not too much of you'll fall!

Make sure you grip tight or you'll fall!

Level yourself or you'll fall!

Keep straight or you'll fall!

Don't look down," he said stopping at the front, grinning "Or you just might fall. Go!"

I kick off the ground, getting a better start then some, my broomstick seems to know what I want as it floats me up slowly, giving me enough time to drink in my surroundings. I can see the forbidden forest from here! Hogwarts looks as grand as ever...I look down...oh Merlin. I'm so high! Professor Cook looks like the size of an ant from here.

"Rose!" Calls Val who's a few feet above, I look up and that's when it happens.

My broom was quite obedient until this point. When I looked up I leaned back and broom thinks I want to go up. Great.

I shoot past Val, and up into the clear sky, heading straight towards the clouds. I let out a scream and try and lean back down. Bad idea.

I fall backwards with my broom and my broom does a dive to the ground. My robes billow at the speed and my skin feels like it's being stretched. Professor Cook no longer an ant he's growing...and growing...and growing...

I feel an arm grab me and my broomstick falls to floor, I'm only a few metres from the floor. I sink slowly to the ground, hearing huffing of the person who caught me as the struggle to hold my weight. My saviour and I crash onto the ground and everyone huddles around us.

"Are you okay?"

"Lucky Professor new Aresto Momentum." I heard Vicky state.

"Are they unconscious?"

"Back off people! Let them breathe!" Cries Evelyn from my right..

I groan, I open my eyes and see heads peering down at me. I turn to see who saved me, slowly as my back seems to be bruising. It was Val, she was groaning and crying. At first I wondered why and then I looked at her shoulder. It looked dislocated...am I really that heavy? Not time to about that Rose! I kick my self mentally for thinking such a thing.

"V-Val?" I whisper, her eyes flutter open.

"Well," she says trying to hold back the tears "That was a good plan."

"Everybody move!" Shouts Professor Cook, he scoops Val up in his arms and calls Thomas to help. Thomas and Evelyn help me to my feet and Thomas supports me to the Hospital Wing.

Nurse Magnus is a beefy frightful woman. She looked way to tough to be in the uniform and if there's one thing she hates most in the world, it would be drama. She takes no nonsense, you are in and out faster than you can say pumpkin juice. When we come in she stops reading The Daily Prophet and strides up to Professor, who lies Val on a bed.

"So what do we have here? Another broom accident? You need to realise Tom that sooner or later one of your students will be killed on the pitch then what? You'll..."

Tom? As in Thomas Cook? I try not to laugh as I think of the airline, Val seems to have caught on as she laughs a loud.

Nurse Magnus' glare fixes on Val, she scans her like a robot before approaching.

"Looks like you've got a dislocated shoulder, how'd you do that then missy?"

Professor Cook, stepped forward "Nurse Magnus, the other fell of her broom and she tried to catch her, though she wasn't strong enough to handle the falling body weight and the sudden weight pulled on shoulder. Thankfully I had my wand with me."

Nurse turns to me "You said thank you?"

I suddenly felt insanely guilty "T-thank you, Val."

Nurse nods and claps shed hands together.

"Everybody out apart from these to two!" She hustles everyone like sheep and pushes them out. After she closes the doors she turns to us.

"No worries girls! This will only take a few minutes" She cracks her knuckles.
