Title: Flying Rating: G Word Count: 118 Warnings: none Summary: Hermione Granger on the day Harry becomes a Seeker.
-
They call it flying.
It’s straddling a piece of wood and rising into the air on the wings of magic and luck. It’s a rush and a high and the sharp feeling of wind in your face; it’s a terror that rises in your gorge as you squeeze your eyes shut. There’s ice and there’s chill but above all there’s the feeling of the hard ground as it rushes at you, unbending and unforgiving.
You try and you try but around you the other students are sitting astride their slender chariots, laughing and gossiping and you know they’re watching you, pointing at you, and so you bite down hard on your fear and keep insisting, up, up, up.

Thank you, everyone &hearts I had in mind the scene from the first movie in which she simply can't get the broom to rise into her hand, and (in the book?) when it's said that the broom needs to sense your seriousness, or something similar to that.
