Hesper felt herself flush with embarrassment. She'd known it would've been pretty obvious from the moment he saw her practicing but she hadn't expected him to just call her out like that. Well, he wasn't exacting calling her out but that was how it felt to her. "I most certainly do!" she retorted, her voice almost cracking at 'do'.
She tried to prove the point by changing direction and it worked a little better than the last time she'd tried to change course but rather than swerve to the side, the broom stopped rising and then turned 90 degrees so that Hesper was sideways in the air. "See?" Her voice came out strangled from the effort of keeping herself from falling off. She'd meant to say that after she'd glided to one side but that clearly wasn't happening.
She tried to urge the broom back to an upright position but it decided she wanted to fly forward now but very slowly. She pursed her lips as she clung on for dear life and flew towards him. "Good day, Sirius." She said this as the broom slowly flew her over his head and beyond.
