"Well be careful then and don't anger me," Bella replied with a small smirk. She saw his facial expression as she caught it and smiled, "You weren't worried about me were you?" she asked. "There was no way I would've been able to do that catch with only one hand." She realised immediately what the flying downwards reminded him of and waited with baited breathe, hoping he wouldn't freeze and fall. "Oh thank god," she said as he caught it and flew back up to her. As his leg brushed hers she froze, feeling the sparks that had just come out of no where. She looked at him for a moment and only just caught the Quaffle before it hit her face. "Sorry, spaced out for a moment," she said throwing it back to him. |

Magesta chuckled, "Yes, well you wouldn't be the first." She pursed her lips thoughtfully, "Tell you what. Why don't you get on your broom and show me what you know first then I know what you have to learn. After all if you're going to be the next Quidditch Captain you need practice." She smiled at him and stood looking out with practically one eye on him and the other on the students flying above her head. "Okay." Chris mounted his broom, and kicked off, wobbling a bit as he rose into the air. He started forward, and managed to fly in a lopsided circle, before heading back to the ground. As his feet touched down, he stumbled, and fell forward, landing on his hands and knees. Going a bit red, he got up and picked his broom up, and looked at the Professor. "I'm not much good at landing yet," he pointed out, rather unneccesarily. |

"Stuff," Bella replied with a small smile as she caught the Quaffle. "Some of which had to do with you," she said, deciding to tell him now before he asked even more. She threw the ball at him with one hand. "No more questions, we're meant to be practicing; not gossiping like old maids."

"I'm not much good at landing yet," he pointed out, rather unneccesarily. Magesta watched Chris fly in a lopsided circle and land not so gracefully. She smiled and picked up her broom, "You're too nervous, Mr. Marquez, that's all." She stood beside him and mounted her broom, "Here, what you want to do is go slowly but stay loose. Gently, push off the ground." She did so and hovered only a few feel about the ground, "Now if you focus too hard on keeping your balance or on the people watching you, you will start to wobble. Just think of you and the broom. Like...like riding a bicycle. I'm sure you've done that right? Here do it with me." "Stuff," Bella replied with a small smile as she caught the Quaffle. "Some of which had to do with you," she said, deciding to tell him now before he asked even more. She threw the ball at him with one hand.

Bella scowled as he caught the Quaffle and asked what she was thinking about. "Typical, you would continue to question me when I said it was over," she said rolling her eyes. "You've brushed against me twice now this lesson, and although it shouldn't make me feel good, it does," she told him. "Which is very very bad, considering Sam is nearby."

Andrew smirked, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I would never do that." He flew up to her and said lowly as he handed her the Quaffle he let his fingers touch hers a bit longer than necessary, "But isn't that what it's about. Feeling good and even Sam can't know what you're feeling." He glanced over at Sam and flew back a little bit before he looked over as he said aloud, "You can throw better than that." He winked at her and flew backwards some more.

"No of course you wouldn't," Bella replied rolling her eyes again. She held her breathe as he flew closer letting his fingers stay on for longer then they should've done. "There's a difference between making me feel good, and making me feel uncomfortable," she whispered back as he flew off, leaving the Quaffle in her hands. Her competetive side kicked in though when he spoke again. "You think?" she yelled throwing it towards the hoops.

Like...like riding a bicycle. I'm sure you've done that right? Here do it with me." Chris watched, then tried to follow her instructions. Thinking about it as being like riding a bicycle made it much easier - last summer he'd spend as much time as he could out on his bike. The circle he flew this time was still a bit lopsided, but at least he wasn't wobbling now, and when he landed, he didn't trip. He grinned at his success. He thought he might like flying even more than riding a bike, and that was saying something! |

Amelina raised an eyebrow at the sigh. Her breath was back, and she managing normal sentences. "Yep. I can hurt you later" She said with a laugh. She smiled and waited for his throw. Sam smiled and laughed. "Okay then," he said, flying off and sending the ball back in her direction Amelina flew out catching the ball and then poked her tongue out. She centered and then threw it back to him. |

She looked up at everyone flying around and smiled, "All right guys! That's enough this class. Next class we'll test your agility." She looked down at Chris, "Just keep practicing, Mr. Marquez, and you'll get the hang of it and be able to fly with ease. If you want any additional help just stop by my office. I'll be glad to help you outside of class." "No of course you wouldn't," Bella replied rolling her eyes again. She held her breathe as he flew closer letting his fingers stay on for longer then they should've done.

Bella smirked as Andrew missed the Quaffle and had to stiffle a giggle when he came back up. She was about to answer him when Professor Lockwood called the end of class and she sighed in relief. "Yup I'll be there," she said as she watched him fly down. Slowly she followed him getting off her broom with grace and ease. "Thanks Professor."

Amelina flew out catching the ball and then poked her tongue out. She centered and then threw it back to him. Sam caught the Quaffle and was just about to throw it back when Professor Lockwood called an end to the class. He flew up to Amelina and patted her on the shoulder. "You've got a good arm. Are you sure you're okay, love?" he asked, settling his hand on her shoulder. |

Amelina nodded gratefully. "Thanks. No wonder your on the Ravenclaw team" She said with a wink, "Yup. I'll be fine but I'll remember that I owe you one" She laughed and flew easily back down onto the pitch.

Sam smiled. "I'm only a Seeker. I work out, gotta keep myself on that broom," he laughed. "Yep, okay, you owe me one. Although you almost knocked me off my broom a couple of times," he said, following her down to the ground.

Amelina smirked, "Caught watching passing fairies were you? Not keeping your eyes on the ball? tut tut." She laughed cheerfully, speeding the old school broom a fraction.
