1st Wind | Gotta practise

Quidditch Pitch

[Fuu held the schools broom firmly in her hand. There were a few things that she needed to do before she could actually play for the time and the most important, was being able to actually fly on the broom itself. As she let it hove, she slowly moved to get on it before gently lifting off.]

Okay, so far... So good.

[She hadn't moved, but it still felt very weird. But after seeing the practises from her friends team, she just wanted to give it a go herself, even if it meant trying to do it herself. After all it wasn't that hard, right?]

[It's by mere chance that he's on the stadium this time, looking for something in the referee's room, that he might have left there, when he notices there's someone there. Entry is of course not restricted to the pitch, but he still decides to check, just in case.

What he sees makes him pull his lips into a bit of strained smile. A Ravenclaw girl, that's definitely not a first year, looks like she's about to take her first flying lesson, obviously not used to being on a broom often.]

You're too cramped. You need to relax. The more afraid you are, the greater the chance you'll hurt yourself.

[He speaks before thinking again, approaching the girl. That old school broom is uncomfortable enough already, she doesn't need to get a muscle cramp as well.]

[Too cramped? She didn't know she was too cramped or tense if she was told to relax. Pausing for a moment, she moved her shoulders up and down as her way to relax a little more before looking over, it slowly sinking it that someone had just spoken to her.]

I'm not afraid, I'm been much higher than what I am currently after all.

[fireredspear]

Oh?

[Then he might have misjudged. His fault, he had thought she looked a bit out of practice.]

Then it's fine. Need any help with something?

[windofthephoenixtemple]

I do need to learn a bit more about how can can control such a thing with only one hand.

[It's a bit nerving to have to do when she thought about it.]

[fireredspear]

Well, brooms are, for the most part, controlled by will and thoughts. If they weren't Quidditch would become unplayable, right?

[He says with a wink, before continuing his explanation.]

But you need a lot of flying practice for your broom to pick up your thoughts, or habits, to react quickly and accordingly. And yes, you need to be sure in your saddle.

[windofthephoenixtemple]

Really? I must admit I had no idea that was how they worked

[She never had a reason to really look into it until recently when she thought her friend was having a lot of fun.]

Then I will keep at it until I get the best hang of it I can.
