[New writing all over the journal, kind of large and...enthusiastic is a good word. Also, doodled (and fairly well, at that) around the words are sketches of fairy wings. Yeah.]

{>Haha! I guess requesting two classes was a little much.<}
{>They didn't need more Care of Magical Creatures professors but a spot was open for flying.<}
{>So come Monday I expect you all to be there with your brooms and smiling faces! I'm even giving you time to pick them up at home over break!<}
{>No excuses. Flying might not be mandatory for upper years but it's the fun you all need to keep going with your studies!<}
{>You know what they say about all work and no play.<}
{>Autographs to everyone who does well first day.<}
{>Oh. Right. I should introduce myself.<}
{>Peter Banks at your service!<}
{>Yes. The quidditch player and yeah I'm taking a break from that to teach the next generation of fine flyers.<}
{>I know you won't disappoint.<}

Most muggles don't seem to understand Quidditch. I was raised around it, but I fail to see why everyone loves it so much.

It's just a bunch of guys on brooms, showing off because they think it'll get them a girl. Booooring.

[animalmagnetism]

{>If they're showing off for girls they're flying wrong!<}
{>Flying is an art.<}
{>It's all about you and the wind and pushing everything to the limit.<}
{>The balls and points are really only an afterthought.<}

[arachnoble]

Flying is a convenient way to get from place to place.

I've never had a good feeling for it.

[animalmagnetism]

{>No such thing!<}
{>You just didn't have a good teacher.<}
{>That can be corrected you know.<}

[arachnoble]

I don't see how your teaching methods could be so different.

But maybe I'll take you up on the offer.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't!<}
{>But I've never failed to help someone improve their flying before.<}

[arachnoble]

Maybe you just smiled them into submission and acceptance.

[animalmagnetism]

{>I do have a dashing smile!<}
{>But I like to think there was some skill involved!<}

[arachnoble]

You'll have to prove your skill, then.

When should I arrange for a lesson?

[animalmagnetism]

{>I'm free anytime until term!<}
{>And after I don't think I've sorted my schedule yet!<}
{>I have to talk with the other professor first.<}

[arachnoble]

Then will tomorrow at sunrise be alright?

[animalmagnetism]

{>A sunrise flying lesson sounds like the best thing!<}
{>I'll be there!<}

[arachnoble]

Don't be late!

[animalmagnetism]

{>I'll be there before you! Haha!<}
