Two things!

[Behold Ginny Weasley, the camera enchanted to float in front of her as she broadcasts this from... Her broom? That's right; she's back where she belongs, up in the air and the summer wind pulling at her hair and clothes, face alight in a smile. She looks infinitely better than she did a week ago, that's for certain.]

Firstly, I believe I owe drinks to quite a few people for the madness that was a few weeks ago. The Anonymous people graciously paid me in liquor from my world for helping restore the Hall of the Missing and it's not like I can drink all of it by myself—have you seen me? I'm too small for all that firewhiskey.

Priority goes to all my doctor friends, because I said so.

Secondly, FLYING LESSONS!

[Yes, it's about as loud as capslock.]

I usually offer this earlier in the summer but there's that little matter of a City-wide rebellion and being struck down with a magical plague, so I decided I'd best wait it out until people were a little more available, myself included.

I know I've spoken to a few people about this—Sulu? Stiles?—but it's open to anyone who's interested in brooms and isn't afraid of heights. I've never had anyone fall while I'm in the air with them, so don't worry! It's fun.

And if someone just wants to watch, come along. This is something I love, why not share it in any way I can?

That's all!

[AND OFF SHE ZOOMS, the camera following her for a minute as she speeds around the Quidditch pitch the twins built, corkscrewing and ~soaring, tumbling, freewheeling~ through the air. And it cuts out as she whips past the device.]

[It so is a kid. A kid who thinks flying sounds awesome.]

And anyone can learn to do it?

If they're willing to learn, yeah.

[In that case...]

Can I sign up? I'm Dewey.

Hi, Dewey, I'm Ginny. I'd be happy to teach you! No cost.

Nothing?

That's right.

I never paid for flying lessons and I do this for fun. I reckon it'd be a bit rude of me to charge for something that's supposed to have no pressure.

[That, and she pretty much owns two rather successful businesses, so...]

Well, I want to learn. Should I get my own broom? Can I get my own broom? Is that something you can get here?

[ He... might be excited, who knows. ]

Not that I've seen. Me and my friends made our own so we've only got a few, so I can't loan one out to you, but you'll borrow one during lessons.

Okay.

[ Further research into that will be required, he thinks. ]

When can I start?

Whenever you like, love. Any weekend morning that's uncursed.

Deal. Where should I be? Do I go somewhere specific?

[ Sudden realization - ]

Oh - should I wear a cape, or do you think that causes too much drag when you're learning? There's a lot to be said for style, I think...

[Laughing,]

You could wear a cape. I wear robes when I fly back home and they're just about the same.
