The first lesson chapter 4
At breakfast the gang met up around the table to talk about Jen's lessons with the guys.
"So ya, we will meet here and then get out stuff to play, ok?" Harry addressed the group.
"Today all we will need is our brooms. We are simply going to go over broom handling. Rob and I haven't seen all of you girls on brooms."
"Right today we are just going to work on sharp turns, flying in formations and maybe a few tricks if we get through it fast" Rob added.
"Great" Jen said, "Thanks again for doing this Rob"
"Anything for a friend Jen, specially for one of my fans" Rob added as they walked off to classes Harry stood there for a minute and said "Sure Rob gets thanked but I don't" Ginny started to laugh, Harry didn't realize he said it out loud.
"It's ok Harry, I thank you," she said in a low voice so only he heard it. Harry smiled and he gave her a hug. Classes went by quickly. Before anyone knew it, they were outside waiting to take off.
"Ok ladies we are just going to see what you can do already. So take off and join me over there. Rob said wile taking off and pointing to a spot on the other side of the field the where they were at. "Ron, Harry stays with them will ya?"
"No problem Rob." Harry replied back.
"I'm going to go to the far side of the field and get some stuff set up, just get them off the ground and I should be back by then." As Rob flew over the other side of the field to get things set up; he could hear Harry explaining how to fly to the girls. Every little while Rob would look over his shoulder to see how the girls where doing, but on the second look he got a shock of his life. Jen was already in the air, so he hurried to set up the activity. When he was done he went back to the group. When he arrived he saw, to his joy, that everyone was ready to go.
"Before I take you through the first drill, I want to see what you can do" Rob said while hovering in the air, the group nodded back "all you have to do is try to follow me. I will go slow so don't worry Ron and Harry I would like you two to stay in the back to make sure everyone is ok."
"No problem Rob" Ron said while moving to the back
"Ok lets go," Rob, said while turning around towards the middle of the field. They started slow, just fast enough to feel the wind blowing your hair back. After a shaky start Ginny and Jess started to gain control of their brooms, but not after Ginny did a quick nosedive that Harry corrected for her. Next Rob started to make them turn at a faster rate of speed after a quick left and a quick right Rob stopped to see who was all behind him. To his great joy he saw Jen and shortly followed by Ginny, then Jess and Harry and Ron bringing up the rear.
"Ok you guys are doing great!" Rob said, "I think your ready you guys are going to have a lot of fun, we are just going to do this next drill and call it a day.
"Ya I am bushed" said Ginny taking a big breath
"Ha, ha harder then it looks, eh Ginny?" Joked Ron.
"Just little" she said back sticking her tongue out at him.
"Oh be nice to your bother now Ginny" Jen said to her
"You know I like her more and more," Ron said whispering to Harry, Harry laughed Rob hearing what Ron said laughed and shook his head. "Ok in this drill we are going to work on turns speed and stopping." Rob took them through the drill, "First, I want you to fly throw this hoop, then you will take this hard right, I would like you to pick up speed on the straight-away then hard left around the pole then coming to a stop over the X. Everyone got that?" Rob asked. They all nodded "Ok; we are going to do this a few times to see how you do. Ron can you watch them just after they make the hard right?" He nodded "Harry you will be in the straightaway and I will be helping you at the end. Now an average Quiddich player can do this in one minute but today our goal is two minutes, ok?" The girls looked at Rob, Rob could see that Jess wasn't to sure of her self and that Ginny was to busy staring at Harry but he noticed that Jen was looking at the course and planning her every move, Rob was quite impressed on what she was doing. "Ok for the first run we are going to be right beside you so that if anything happens we can help you." After hearing this, the girls' morale went up. As Rob pulled a shinny silver whistle out of his pocket and he asked if there was a volunteer to go first. To his shock, and his joy, Jen asked if she could go first. Rob gladly said, "Sure, just wait till I blow the whistle." She nodded back at him; he furiously flew down to the end of the course just to get there fast as he could because he wanted to see what she could do. To his shock at first then understanding what she did she went slowly through the course, not horribly slow but just enough to get an idea if she was thinking along the right lines on how to do this, making notes in her head as she went along. When she got to Rob he flew up beside he and asked how she was doing, she said fine and that she was having lots of fun and that she knows that it's not easy teaching this to them. After Rob heard this he turned red as an apple he told her that he was having fun showing them how to fly anyway. He asked her if she was ok with the course and if she wanted to go again she said if it was all right if she could just hover around. He didn't mind. Next was Jess, she did really good, she only had a little close run in with the ground, lucky Harry got there to pull her up before she hit. Ginny only had troubles with the sharp turn when she yanked the broom to the right she turned to hard and started spinning, but luckily Ron got to her before she got bucked off. After having that close call Ginny asked if they could stop for the day. Everyone understood that she had a headache so they all agreed and decided that after dinner they would all meet up in the common room and discuss what they would do tomorrow. When the girls where flying back the guys stayed behind to help Rob take down of the course, in the middle of this Ron asked Harry and Rob "Hey guys, did you get the feeling that Jen was holding back?
"I know she was" Rob said looking back at the school
"How do you know?" Harry asked
"I could just tell, the way she took every corner, how she was flying, and you could see it in her eyes."
"Sure that's why you were staring at her right, Rob" Ron said bumping Rob
"What are you talking about" Rob said while hitting him back.
"Oh you know you like her Rob and we all know she digs you" Harry said picking up the hoop.
"What ever" Rob said, "I don't know about you guys but I could go for a nice dinner"
"Ya having to save your girlfriend, Ron, really tired me out." Harry said giving Ron a smack in the head and Rob laughing "Hey I had to save your girlfriend too!" Ron tried to come back "Ya but remember that's you sister Ron" Rob laughed even harder "Ooh right" Ron said
"That's everything guys, lets go eat" Rob said.
"Right" Harry said, while they got their brooms off the ground to start the trip back to Hogwarts.
