Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
"Now, when I blow the whistle, you're going to give yourself a strong push up with your feet" Madam Hooch said as we all managed to mount the brooms, "Hold your broomsticks, keep them steady and get a few inches off the ground. To get you down, you'll have to bend the body down a little along with the handle" she instructed us.
"When I blow the whistle... Three... Two... One!"
As soon as Madame Hooch finished counting, she blew her whistle, and with that I gave a push with my feet up. As soon as I gave a boost, my broom started to hover in the air, a few inches off the ground.
Looking around I could see that some students had their broomsticks zigzagging or shaking, and the rest managed to stay as steady in the air as me, they being kids who've flown on broomsticks before.
"Fine. Now that you're up in the air, I want you to fly around the field slowly, and don't go up too high," Madam Hooch said.
And that's what we did. We started flying across the field, with some students shorter than others and some quite tall, in this case me.
I was currently about 5 meters off the ground, calmly flying across the field. But unconsciously, the more time I spent in the air, the more speed I gained and higher I climbed, until I reached a height of 15 meters, flying three times faster than my colleagues.
As I flew, I could hear the song 'I Believe I Can Fly' playing in the back of my mind.
'This is so liberating' I sighed in satisfaction, looking out over the grounds of Hogwarts and the birds in the sky that flew beside me, apparently not afraid of me.
The wind was in my face. The dampness and coolness of the air brought a wave of satisfaction to me. The feeling of gravity no longer pinning me to the ground was exhilarating.
I was so engrossed in the joy and peace of flying that I didn't even notice Madam Hooch looking at me perplexed.
'How can this boy fly so well? Did he lie about never having flown before?' Madam Hooch thought in surprise.
Unaware of Madam Hooch's thoughts, I started to go faster, almost reaching full speed on my broom, which even though it was an old model and was worn out, was still a fast broom.
Madame Hooch who was lost in thought was awakened by a loud sigh from one of the students. She looked back and saw that the students had stopped flying and some had even landed to the ground and were now looking up in shock. And when she looked in the direction they were looking, what she saw was a student high in the sky, flying at high speed and doing stunts. And that student was obviously me.
'What he is doing?! These maneuvers are very dangerous!' Madame Hooch exclaimed in her mind.
"Mr. Night, you're too high and flying too fast! Stop these stunts and get down now!" she yelled at me sternly.
'Oops' I looked down guiltily, only realizing now how tall I was, 'I think I should have paid more attention'
I then tilted the tip of my broom down and began to land slowly. And while I was landing, the other students started running towards me, with my friends in front.
"Morgana's boobs, You're crazy Ethan! You were flying so high and…and fast…Merlin, that was amazing!" Anthony exclaimed excitedly as he got in front of me, and I could only smile wryly at him.
"You had to show off right?" Terry asked me with an amused smile, but I could feel his concern.
"Hehe, I kind of got carried away" I said scratching the back of my neck.
"Merlin, Ethan. I was so worried," Susan said, sighing in relief. And I gave her a reassuring smile.
While I was surrounded by my colleagues, Madame Hooch landed on the field and started coming towards me.
"Mr. Night, do you know how dangerous that was?" she asked me, glaring at me grimly with those eagle eyes.
"Sorry teacher. I was so engrossed in the feeling of flying that I didn't even realize I was so high or going so fast" I apologized sincerely, feeling guilty for making so many people worried.
Madame Hooch then started to stare at me even more, before she let out a tired sigh.
"Sigh. Alright... but don't let it happen again" she said, and I nodded in agreement, "And I'm not going to give you detention, but that's 3 Ravenclaw points" she finished, and I just accept my punishment.
'Hmm, I don't care about the points, and with the amount I've earned 3 points it's nothing to me' I thought, 'But I really should have controlled myself a bit'
"Well, the lesson is over. Leave the brooms on the ground and go back to the castle" Madame Hooch said, realizing it was late.
After she said that, she started shooing us away, and then we started walking off the field, chatting excitedly about Flying class and the stunts I did.
'Hmm, he'd make a good Seeker or Chaser' Madame Hooch thought, looking at my back as I walked away from the training ground, 'And if what he said about being a muggleborn is true, then he's a born flyer! I have to ask Minerva and talk to Filius'
__________________________________________________________________
The rest of the afternoon went by, and my classmates started talking to everyone they knew about the Flight class and how I did high speed maneuvers in the air, and by the end of the day almost half the school knew about my 'demonstration' in flying class.
As for the points, none of my colleagues said anything, or more precisely, none of them cared, as the amount that was taken out is not even half of what I earn in one day, so for them I had the right to lose some of these spots.
The only person who was unhappy with the loss of points was Phillips, but he was more unhappy with Madame Hooch than with me, saying he would talk to her to see if he could convince her to withdraw the punishment, but a simple look at the Prefect Jenkins, or Sophia as she asked to be called, was enough to shut him up.

-Night-
"Hi girl" I said to Nyx as I walked into my room and saw her lying on one of the pillows on the floor. Nyx then lifted her head and meowed lazily in greeting to me.
Nyx currently spends the day sleeping and in the afternoon she hangs around the school. And one thing I discovered is that pets have their own passage in their rooms so they can go out whenever they want.
'Did she find anything interesting?' I questioned myself internally, 'Well, if she finds something interesting she can show me later'
"Well, let's go to sleep" I then said to Nyx, who got up off the pillow and jumped onto the bed.
So I started to get out of my clothes and changed into a pair of comfy black pants, and shirtless I lay on my bed, with Nyx joining me, climbing onto my chest and curling up.
Tired, I started to slowly close my eyes. But before falling asleep a thought crossed my mind.
'Hmm, tomorrow is the day Potter will join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. How will others react?'
End.
