Macyn and Lily walked down the hallway together towards their first class of the day, and of the entire year - flying. Macyn couldn't believe that broomsticks actually flew, like in stories. She also couldn't believe that Hogwarts had a rule against modern technology. The latest iPhone had just come out, and Macyn couldn't even ask her parents for one. Then again, she had an owl to deliver messages for her. Lily had an owl too, a gray one. It was beautiful. Macyn got so lost in her thoughts that she barely noticed when they got outside. They walked down to an open field, where a teacher was waiting for them. "Alright", the teacher said. "Hold your hand over the broom and say 'Up!'"
The students did as told, and some brooms, like Lily's, came right to them. Others, like Macyn, had to try a few times. Some just couldn't get it at all. After brooms were in everyone's hands, the teacher instructed them to begin flying on the count of 3. As soon as the count got down, Macyn leaped onto the broom and took off. It was incredible, the feel of the wind on her face. There was nothing like it. If this was what school was like here, Macyn couldn't wait for more.
As soon as they got down, Lily pulled Macyn aside. "So what do you think?
Macyn smiled. "I love it. Are they all this fun?"
Lily snorted. "No. Mum and Dad told me most classes are boring, plus they had a bunch of stuff trying to kill them."
"Yeah there was a lot of weird stuff in this school, wasn't there?"
"Still is", Lily corrected. "Aunt Hermione says that there's all sorts of stuff here that they never discovered."
"Well...", Macyn began, thinking. "How about we discover it?"
