Whilst the principles of the art of Flying are fairly relaxed and negotiable, I do have some rules that need to be followed if this class is to be successful and helpful to your broomstick skills. Failure to comply with the rules may not result in a direct house penalty at first, but repeat offenders may be subject to detention and/or removal from my lessons.
- Please bring your own brooms to lessons, if possible. This is not compulsory, though, as the school has its own wide array of broomsticks, which First Years are obliged to use.
- No deliberately dangerous behaviour involving broomsticks. For obvious reasons- I don't want to have to cart you off to Madam Pomfrey halfway through a lesson.
- Likewise, please don't do anything that would endanger your fellow students. Daring stunts on brooms are all good fun- just make sure you don't kill anybody else accidentally when performing them.
- Please keep personal conflicts out of the class. We're here to learn how to fly, after all.
- Flying is a purely physical class, so I'm not really very interested on having three foot long essays on aerodynamics submitted to me just because some students were bored on the weekend. We will touch on theory occasionally during class, however.
- Respect. Well, you don't have to actually respect me, but at least act like it for the sake of my vanity. I do require that you respect your fellow students as well, however, so house rivalry lacks a place in my classes.
- Though most of you are probably too mature to act this way, please, if I ask you to mount your broomsticks do not start giggling as though I've made an absurd innuendo. I have not- all I want you to do is get on your bloody broom.
As you can see, the rules of Flying Class aren't numerous or particularly hard to follow, so I expect that you abide by them, thank you.
