Who: Harry and Hermione
What: Test flying the broom Hermione has charmed
Where: Somewhere near school grounds
Warnings: Probably not.

Hermione was checking a few last things with the broom. She knew it would fly. She was 90% sure it would be reliable. She just didn't think it would get very fast and she didn't know if it would feel right. She had Dumbledore's help, but she did all the charms herself, and she didn't really fly. She had started on the broom as soon as Harry showed up, knowing he'd want a broom and there weren't any here. She was glad she finally told him so she could get help from him. He should be there any minute.

Harry rushed to the field, feeling like the world's largest git for bringing her flowers.

I mean, flowers, really? That's what you came up with?

When he'd found out she was working on a broom for him, Harry had been honestly touched. He had been desperately wanting to fly, and while Hermione would likely be ridiculously hard on herself, claiming it wasn't nearly good enough, he knew it would be smashing just to feel the earth far below him again at any speed.

So he brought her flowers. Like a git.

Honestly, the thought of eating them crossed his mind. Destroy the evidence, really.

	Hermione saw Harry approaching and was a little startled by the sight of flowers. Maybe he was on his way somewhere else after this. That would make sense. "Hello Harry!" She called, waving at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Git didn't begin to cover it. Walking up to Hermione, Harry all but shoved the flowers at her. Might as well make this as bloody awkward as possible. "Um, here. To say thanks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione looked at the flowers again, very surprised. She blushed just a little, taking them. "Um, thank you. They're very nice." Flowers? Ah. "So. Here's the broom!" Her voice squeaked a bit as she tried to quickly change the topic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Idiot, idiot, idiot... Harry intently focused on the broom. Too intently. "It really is brilliant of you to do this, Hermione. How did you find all the charms? Are there books here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione grinned. She didn't really know how to accept flower and that sort of thing, but she was use to academic praise. "I got some help from Dumbledore. Other than that I just found some spells here and modified them to do what I wanted." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh good. Awkward display over. Now to the flying, which was the part he was good at. "Well, it's brilliant. I'll just take it for a go, shall I?" Harry put a hand out and felt the familiar jump as the broom lept to his grip. He had to marvel, Hermione didn't even like to fly and she had done so well from only memory.

Safe wasn't the right word.

Harry took flight, the rush of wind as familiar and welcome as Hogwarts would be. She was right, it was considerably slower than the Firebolt had been, but it was nothing to sneeze at, roughly at a Nimbus level. Knowing Hermione she'd have it going faster than even the Firebolt in a matter of weeks.

He swooped at the grass, doing a feint and waving at her with a huge grin. In other words, showing off.

Hermione watched him fly. She didn't know quite as much about flying as the boys did, but she could tell that Harry was great at it. She was glad the broom was handling so well! She didn't think it work so well. She waved back up at him, jumping up and down a bit when he waved to her.

She tried to watch for things to improve, but she wasn't seeing anything. Either because Harry was such a good flyer, or that there weren't nearly as many errors as she thought.

	Harry pushed the broom higher, noticing that she had clearly put some stabilization charms on it since there was no vibration at the high altitude. Of course she would. Landing at her feet, his hair blown every which way, Harry grinned brightly at her. "I'd say it works pretty well, wouldn't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione was beaming. "Better than I thought. Must be the one flying it." (Reply to this) (Parent)
