"So Akko, just saying 'Tia Freyre' isn't enough, you have to be commanding your broom to fly while keeping in that position I showed you"

"T-tia freyre!" Akko shouted, to no avail; the broom stayed as it was and Diana sighed.

"Akko, you have to make sure you're completely concentrating on getting your broom to do what you're telling it, don't let anything distract you"

Don't let anything distract you. Don't let anything distract you. That was easy for Diana to say, she wasn't the one who had her girlfriend pressed against her back, whispering into her ear. Oh God, she was hugging her now. Diana's hands gently guided Akko's to the correct places on the broom before returning her hands to their place of Akko's waist.

"Tia...Tia freyre, tia freyre!" Akko tried again, only to be met with the same result. After one last desperate "Tia freyre" Akko hung her head in defeat while Diana gently hugged her.

"Don't worry Akko, I'm sure that you'll be able to fly perfectly in time"

"Really?"

"Of course" Akko smiled and leaned back into Diana's chest "And in the mean time I'd be more than happy to let you fly with me if you want to go somewhere…"

"Thanks Diana, I love you!"

Amanda groaned "Constanze, none of the teachers understand!" before collapsing next to her and pulling the smaller girl into a hug.

"Hmm?"

"It's terrible! Even professor Nelson doesn't get me, she keeps on saying stuff like 'Amanda, what you do isn't safe and doesn't count towards your final grade' and 'You'd be better off postponing these silly antics until you've left school', she's forgotten what it's like to be cooped up inside all day"

"Mhmm"

"I really don't know what I'd do if you and Jasminka weren't here"

"Mmm"

"But when professor Finneran has the nerve to say-" Amanda was suddenly cut off by Constanze pressing her lips against hers, and she didn't move for several seconds after, trying to take in what had just happened. "Thanks Constanze, you're wonderful"

The smaller girl blushed and returned to the circuit she was soldering, but didn't try to push Amanda away when she hugged her again.

Akko walked into the red team's room, humming happily.

"So how did it go Akko?" Lotte asked, glad to see her friend in such high spirits.

"I couldn't get off the ground! But Diana was really nice about it and she said she'd help me whenever I wanted"

"I see...That sounds" Lotte searched for the right thing to say "Very kind of her"

"I know right! Diana's an amazing teacher"

"She certainly seemed to favor a 'hands on' method" Sucy commented, not looking up from her book.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It looked less like a tutoring session and more like you two were flirting the entire time"

"We weren't flirting! I mean, we were a little, but not for the entire session, there was only that little bit where Diana..." Akko trailed off looking embarrassed at the thought of telling Lotte and Sucy what she had done with Diana.

"Constanze, want one?" Jasminka held out a bag of brightly colored lolipops to her teammate who took a pink one, unwrapped it, mumbled a couple of words of thanks and popped it in her mouth before returning to the robot she was making. Jasminka watched as Constanze configured and dismantled a circuit with her wand several times before she finally slotted it into the metal shell she had made and cast a spell on it. Constanze plugged it into the DVD player she had made and after testing it several times placed it in a cardboard box she had written 'Projector' on.

"Did your old projector break Constanze?"

"Mhmm"

"Do you know why?"

Constanze shook her head and began to pack away the spare materials scattered on her desk before doing the same with her tools.

"I got the new John Wick movie in the mail today, do you want to watch it after dinner?"

At the mention of a new film to watch Constanze's face lit up and she hugged Jasminka as tight as she could while the Russian girl smiled and patted her roommate's head.

"Is Constanze ready?"

"She's showering right now, she should be done in about five minutes"

"I'll get the popcorn on in a minute then, do you want sweet or salty?"

"Constanze likes it slightly sweet, so lets go with that"

"Sounds good" Jasminka grabbed a couple of bags of popcorn from under her bed and put them in the microwave before settling back down next to Amanda, who nonchalantly put an arm around her.

"What are we watching tonight then?"

"John Wick 2, Constanze liked the first one"

"John Wick...Was that the one with explosions?"

"All the movies Constanze likes have explosions"

"I know right" Amanda chuckled "She's so cute when she gets really into a movie...Still, you're every bit as cute as her"

"Amanda..."

The two leaned closer together. Their hands met, their eyes closed...They jumped apart in surprise when both bags of popcorn began to pop at the same time. After a few seconds they realized what had happened and started to laugh at how silly they had been before they sat back down together.

Constanze walked in, already wearing her pajamas and settled down in between Amanda and Jasminka who put their arms around her and made themselves comfortable as the movie began.
