good afternoon, class. good afternoon amanda, good afternoon. welcome to your first flying lesson. well what are you waiting for? everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. come on now, hurry up. stick your right hand over the broom and say up. with feeling! now once you've got hold of your broom, i want you to mount it. grip it tight. you don't wanna be sliding off the end. when i blow my whistle, i want each of you to kick off from the ground, hard. keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and touch back down. on my whistle. three, two. mr. longbottom. mr. mr. mr. longbottom! come back down this instant! mr. longbottom! everyone out of the way! oh oh oh. oh dear, it's a broken wrist. poor boy. come on now, up you get. everyone is to keep their feet firmly on the ground while i take mr. longbottom to the hospital wing. understand? if i see a single broom in the air the one riding it will find themselves out of hogwarts before they can say "quidditch". now, i want a nice clean game. from all of you. gryffindor wins!
