Dora looked at the broom in front of her and smiled. Today was the first day of flying lessons. She'd been waiting for this since her mother had told her she could learn to fly. When she'd first arrived at Hogwarts, she'd seen the older students carrying their own brooms. Her hair had turned green with envy. She wanted to soar through the sky, feel the wind against her, she knew she would make her hair long for a minute just for the feeling.
"I can't believe we're finally getting to fly, what if I'm terrible?" she asked herself. "I mean, what if I fall, just because I'm a witch doesn't mean I'm invincible." She'd heard her mother say those words many times. Usually after Dora had managed to fall, trip, or get tangled in something.
"Good morning class, welcome to flying lessons. I am Madame Hooch and I expect everyone to listen to me, flying can be dangerous." Dora fought the urge to roll her eyes. Her mother had joked she should wear a helmet for her lesson. Dora had stuck her tongue out. Dora listened carefully and when she ordered her broom "Up", it flew straight into her hand.
"Good job, Miss Tonks, now, please, everyone mount your brooms like this." Within a few minutes, the class was in the air, Dora had in fact made her hair grow long just to feel the wind in it before returning it to it's usual length.
"Can you believe how awesome class was, I mean, the wind, it was amazing," she rattled to one of the other Hufflepuff girls.
"I was there, Dora, I'm glad you liked it though. Maybe next year you can try out for the Quiddich team?"
"Do you really think I could make it?"
"No idea, but if you like flying that much, then maybe?"
"Playing on the team would be awesome," Dora agreed as she started writing a letter home, the letter was nearly five sheets of parchment describing the whole flying lesson. The school owl she was using glared at her slightly before taking off.
"I hope mum doesn't think it's too long," she muttered still dreaming about flying as she changed into the pajamas and fell asleep.
