《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》IX. Flying Classes
Advertisement
I stand in line next to Draco as we have basic brooms out in front of us.
Nyx barely could stay still as she was wrapped around my neck so, in the air, she won't fall.
"Good afternoon, class." The professor greets as she walks to the front.
"Good afternoon, madame Hooch." The class says as I just roll my eyes.
"Good afternoon Amanda... good afternoon... welcome to your first flying lesson." She greets as the class stands still.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone steps up to the left side of their broomstick." She demands as everyone does as their told.
"Stick your right hand over the broom, and say up." She demands as the class does so.
Only mine, Harry's, and Draco's go in our hands first try.
I and him watch in amusement as Ron struggles with the broom. He tries a few more times before the broom goes and hits him in the face, I grin as the boy covers his face in pain.
"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." she demands as everyone does as they're told.
"When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off from the ground hard. Keep your brooms steady, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle— 3.. 2..." she stops suddenly as she stares at Neville.
Neville's broom starts to float upwards, clearly having no control of it.
"Mr longbottom." The teacher says strictly as Neville keeps floating up.
"M-Mr. Long— Mr. Longbottom!" She yells as Neville flies off.
"Come back down this instant!" She yells as Neville starts screaming, trying not to fall off his broom.

He shouts as his broom hits against the wall to Hogwarts three times before he falls straight towards the group and through the gate, eventually landing himself hanging from a statue's spear like a flag.
He grunts and yells as his robes rip, then the robes get daughter again on another structure, and rip again. He then finally hits the ground as the class stares at him.
Neville whimpers in pain as the teacher helps him up, I notice Draco taking the remembrall as I roll my eyes.
*Yikes!!* Nyx hisses as she looks at neville.
"Everyone's to keep their feet firmly on the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say quidditch." She says as she walks off.
I snicker quietly, somehow getting the feeling that that won't happen.
I watch as Draco kneels down, picking up the remembrall silently.
"Give it here, Malfoy." Harry says as I roll my eyes and observe the two.
"No. I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." He taunts as he throws the remembrall before catching it swiftly.
He mounts his broom as he flies up towards the roof. "How about on the roof?" He grins with a raised eyebrow as I roll my eyes before deciding following him.
"What's the matter, Potter? A bit beyond your reach? Even your sister is more skilled than you." Draco states as I sit on the broom with both my legs swinging on one side as I grin down at Harry.
Harry glares at us as he prepares to mount his broom, Hermione tries to stop him but fails as he flies over to us.

"Give it here, Malfoy! Or I'll knock you off your broom!" Harry yells as Draco looks at him in amusement, throwing and catching the remembrall in his hand.
"Is that so?" Malfoy says as he tries to knock both of us off our brooms but fails as we spin around, dodging his attempt.
*Y/n! Do it again! Do it again!* Nyx hisses at me as I whisper a later and smile at her actions.
"Have it your way, then." Draco teases before he throws the remembrall, making me laugh at Harry's bewildered face.
Harry flies past us as I sit with both my legs on one side, watching him attempting to catch the remembrall. He did manage to catch it, but unfortunately stops right in front of McGonagall's office who had looked at potter shocked.
Everyone cheers for Harry as I scowl but my grin forms one again when I see McGonagall walking towards Harry, me and Draco had already landed so we wouldn't get in trouble.
"Harry Potter!" McGonagall calls as the cheering stops and Harry turns towards the lady. "Follow me."
Me and Malfoy laugh as potter shamefully follows the teacher.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.
