"thanks" he smiled at all the encouragement he was getting. "Nice to know so many care", he joked with them. He held the broom and decided not to tempt fate though and went to put the broom back. "I'll call it a day I think".

"Sorry touched a nerve did I?" Alastar shrugged, he looked at her red hair and figured he better watch what he said around this one. Red haired people were known for their temper. "I'll let you back to your book then?"

[[fine with me Jo]] "I want to be in the smartest house. I don't know which one that is but that's the one for me!" he told her matter of factly. "Are you hanging about here for a reason or do you want to stroll about?" he asked, he couldnt' believe he had even tried asking he wasn't usually...

"Yeah, first year are you?" he asked her looking up and down the street the way she had, wondering if she was looking for someone.

"That's me then is it?" he sighed, typical he had to be out in the rain with two girls and get treated like a baby. "Right I'm going". He walked a bit ahead then stopped and turned around, "Well are you coming or not?" he smiled.

Alastar looked at her frowning, "Maybe so but everyone just seems to have it altogether. I think I'm just still trying to get my head around the fact that magic is real and not some hocus pocus".

"Hey Maddie", Alastar smiled at her, "so what are you two doing sitting here on the floor. Don't you know there's a perfectly good library here?"

"It's alright I suppose. I feel totally out of my depth here. I know nothing. At least in my old school they did normal subjects you know, geography, history, maths, english , science. I don't understand any of these subjects." Al sighed and looked off into the distance, he was finding this...

"I like the originality of your question", he laughed trying to be witty but not convinced he had pulled it off, "Just strolling around. Familiarising myself with the place". He walked over and sat down by the base of the tree with his back leaning against it and his knees pulled up to his...

Alastar had been staring straight ahead, it was only a movement to his right that made him look. He recognised Andromeda from his DADA and flying class. He walked over hoping he wasn't interrupting. He noticed she was reading again, everytime he saw her she had her nose in a book. "Watcha readin...

Alastar walked down on to the lawn and strolled about for a bit. It wasn't too bad really the weather seemed to be clearing up nicely. He hummed a tune to himself and slowed down his pace. It wasn't like he had anywhere imparticular to walk to.

Alastar didn't know whether the girl was in earnest or not but figured he was the one who had disturbed their resting place, so moved over closer and knelt down. He put his hand out again to her. "Al. Is that better then?" [[do you want to do a thread somewhere else until Maddie gets back...

"Hi Violet", Al shook her hand and smiled. "I just got mad with myself for not being able to do it you know. Sorry I walked away like that. I think I was here for nearly 20 minutes by myself failing miserably then everyone seemed to show up all at once." He scratched his head, "I don't do well...

Alastar was still in shock, he put the school broom back onto the ground and decided to try again. He did exactly as Andromeda told him to do and again the broom flew straight up into his hand. He shook his head in disbelief and looked up at her as she ran around the pitch. He smiled to himself...

Al didn't think he would ever be ready but inhaled like she said and as he exhaled tried his best to see the broom in his mind rising from the ground into his outstretched hand. "UP", the broom rose slowly but it rose, as soon as it hit the inside of his hand his fingers locked around it. His...

Al looked her and couldn't believe what she was saying, practise makes perfect wasn't that what his parents were always telling him. He nodded his head slowly and stood beside the broom as she showed him with his fingers outstretched. He turned and asked "What next?"

Alastar knew she was only trying to make him feel better, for goodness sake the girl flew like everyone else walked. "Easy for you to say", he grumbled, scratching his head and scuffing the ground with his foot.

Alastar was dead embarressed now. He knew all of these students to see and some were from his house. He couldn't believe he had been asked about a girlfriend. Sheesh. He bent down and picked up his broom and muttering, "I was just trying to get it right, I can never get it right", he began to...

"Hi Jo pleased to meet you. I'm Alastar but people call me Al" he held out his hand not sure if that's what kids around her did or not.

Alastar had not got any of his flying classes. In the words of one of his brothers, he sucked big time at it. He walked now really annoyed with himself out to the pitch and went to the storage area where they kept the school brooms. He took one out and looking at it said, "don't fail me". He...
