[That afternoon, outside the castle, the students, Gryffindor and Slytherin, are lined up in two rows with brooms by their sides. The teacher, Madam Hooch, comes down the line. She has short hair and hawk yellow eyes.]

"We get to see your first flying lesson," said Regulus smiling softly at his daughter but deep down wishing her first time learning was by him.

Hooch: Good afternoon, class.

Class: Good afternoon, Madam Hooch.

"I actually kinda like Madam Hooch but nobody could beat Poppy," said Nadia making Poppy blush.

Hooch: Good afternoon, Amanda, good afternoon. [to the class] 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!

Class: Up!

[After Harry and Nadia said "Up"!, the broom immediately flies into their hands.]

"Good job Harry,'' said Lily and Remus smiling softly at Harry.

"That's my son," said James proud of his son.

"Good job Nadia,'' said Sirius and Regulus while Natalia threw a thumbs up at her daughter.

Harry: [amazed] Wow.

[Nadia looks unimpressed about the broom. Hermione stares at him as the class continues.]

"Please for merlin just be impressed that's all I asked," said Barty Crouch Jr.

"Over. My. Dead. Body.'' said Nadia smirking at Barty.

"urgh. Regulus I don't like your daughter," said Barty glaring at Nadia.

"That's fine with me. You want to know why," asked Nadia.

"Why," asked Barty now looking confused.

"Cause you're irrelevant not important just simply in the background compared to me," answered Nadia smirking at Barty.

"I like her," said Bellatrix.

"Me too," added Rabastan.

Draco: Up! [broomstick flies up and Draco smugly grins.]

Hooch: With feeling!

Hermione: [as her broomstick slowly rises] Up. Up. Up. Up.

Ron: Up!! [His broom immediately shot up and whacked him on the nose] Ooh! [Harry laughs] Shut up, Harry. [Ron then seemingly starts to laugh after he recovered]

Hooch: Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. And grip it tight, you don't want to be sliding off the end. [the class mounts on their broomsticks] 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, and then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle...3...2...

[She blows the whistle. However, Neville's broomstick somehow lifts him off the ground. Neville immediately lifts off. He looks quite frightened.]

Neville: Oh...

Hooch: Mr. Longbottom.

Girl: Neville, what are you doing?

Students: Neville...Neville...

Boy: We're not supposed to take off, yet.

Hooch: [Neville begins soaring away uncontrollably] M-M-Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom!
