Mister Weasley's First Flying Lesson (A)

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

Ron had drafted a handful of house-elves to help him set-up an area near the lake for his class. And he wouldn’t let the SPEW badge abandoned in some corner of his room amongst the other knickknacks and keepsakes from his schooldays make him feel guilty for this fact. Was he supposed to accio a bunch of benches and a full desk!?

The makeshift “classroom,” which wasn’t a room at all, contained a desk which Ron Weasley was standing behind, and four benches facing towards it. He hoped that the caretaker wouldn't bother him for the imprints the furniture was making on the grass, and was grateful that at least today was a sunny, if crisp, morning. Ron was expecting at least a dozen students, but he also encouraged drop-ins as well. In all honestly, the new teacher was hoping to teach some actual kids rather than only grown-ups. The whole thing made him feel a bit like a middle-aged lady’s Shuntbumps instructor.

He dribbled his fingers on his desk as the students began to arrive for their class. He noticed that their ages definitely skewed high, and awkwardly closed the drawer which contained a generous selection of Fizzing Whizbees, Chocolate Frogs, and Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum. Another thing with a younger class was that they were much less intimidating. Also, very bribable with candy.

((Ok! Ron’s first class will likely have three updates; in this first portion your characters can mingle, ask Ron Mister Weasley questions, or decorate their helmets! If your character did not sign up for flying lessons, feel free to have them drop-in anyway. The second portion of the class will be a flying lesson aimed at novices (their brooms will be charmed to prevent them from flying over five feet high unless Ron knows their character has experience), and the third portion will be Ron giving out homework and dismissing class. The second update will occur either tonight or tomorrow morning, though the threads in this post can continue until their natural ends.

ETA: Furthermore, it's not needed for you to tag every session, just the ones that catch your interest.))
