In addition to the graphite crucible, there was another thing that was also popular in the school: flying lessons and Quidditch.
On Tuesday, the Ravenclaw common room suddenly exploded.
People were saying,”Ravenclaw freshmen will have sex with Hufflepuff students on Thursday afternoon – oh no, they will have flying lessons together!”
Moreover, the exciting Quidditch freshman selection will begin at the weekend.
This news caused a huge stir and instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the young wizards.
They whispered to each other, and everywhere they could hear people enthusiastically discussing flying brooms and the upcoming Quidditch games.
In the spells class, even Professor Flitwick was infected by this craze and couldn’t help sharing the tips for riding a flying broom.
“Waist and broom combined, children, this is the essence of flying!”
Professor Flitwick was talking with saliva flying. In order to let everyone observe his movements better, the book under his feet was higher, more than two meters high.
“”Don’t look at my short stature,”
Professor Flitwick laughed self-deprecatingly,”but my waist and abdominal strength is extraordinary. I can hit Hagrid’s knees when I jump! It’s this core strength that I rely on. Do you understand?”
Susan blinked her big eyes and asked,”Professor, how are your Quidditch skills?”
“I used to be called the flying squirrel,” Professor Flitwick said with a proud smile,”those tall batsmen are like sieves in front of me. I can hit them accurately and easily.”
However, when the young wizards further questioned why he was so proficient in Quidditch but failed to train excellent players, resulting in the poor performance of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team,
Professor Flitwick suddenly supported his waist, said with difficulty that he was not feeling well, and ended the course early. Professor McGonagall showed off her collection in class – dozens of jerseys signed by Quidditch superstars, and a full twenty flying brooms that had created brilliance on the field, which was an eye-opener.
Especially the one-star sweep, which was the first broom in history specially made for the game. It is said that on the market, this broom has been sold at a sky-high price of 10,000 Galleons.
Professor McGonagall not only showed everyone the treasure, but also turned into a The shopping guide analyzed the pros and cons of various flying brooms on the market for the young wizards.
Judging from the situation, if she doesn’t want to be a teacher anymore and switches to selling brooms at the Flying Broom Company, she will definitely be a top performer.
Even Professor Quirrell, who usually stutters when he speaks, shared his legendary experience of fighting a troll on a flying broom.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t withstand the troll’s brutal charge and was defeated in a few minutes. He surrendered – it is said that even his wand was broken.
The students were all immersed in a heated discussion about Quidditch.
Draco Malfoy boasted about his flying experience in the auditorium all day long.
While complaining that first-year students were not qualified to join the school Quidditch team, he told stories to his classmates.
Every time He told different versions of the story, but most of them ended with how he narrowly avoided a Muggle helicopter.
The Muggle-born little wizards couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker when they heard this. It was obvious that Malfoy had never seen how scary a real helicopter was.
These days, Susan and Hannah have been arguing over who is greater, Hamish MacFarlane or Finbar Quigley.
Susan thinks that although Quigley has won four championships, he is always changing jobs and goes to whichever team is stronger. He has to form a big three with others. The four championships were won by sucking up to others, and the gold content is really not high.
Hannah, on the other hand, thinks that although McFarlane is only loyal to the Montrose Magpies and has won four championships, he only has one on his honor roll. A”Dangerous Day Medal” seems a bit thin.
The two of them almost had a falling out over this.
Neville was always very nervous. Although his family was an authentic wizarding family, he had never even touched the bristles of a flying broom. His grandmother always felt that he was not smart enough and had insufficient athletic ability, and that playing with a broom was too dangerous for him.
Hermione was much calmer. She took out a book called”The Origin of Quidditch” from the library, hoping to learn flying skills through the book.
The girl picked up a broken broom for sweeping the floor from somewhere, and every day when no one was around, she would take Susan to practice in the open space.
Looking at the two girls running around on the ground riding the broom that couldn’t fly at all, Ye Ting didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“I said, if you two really want to preview the flying lesson in advance, I can lend you my broom to practice with.”Ye Ting finally couldn’t help it.
“You have a broomstick?”
Hermione’s eyes widened.”When did you buy it secretly? Didn’t they say that first-year wizards can’t bring one? Oh, here you go again, you violated the school rules again!”
Although Ye Ting repeatedly emphasized that he had never beaten those Slytherin people, Miss Granger knew it clearly.
According to witnesses, when those Slytherin wizards were found, they fell to the ground and twitched.
This standard reaction of being electrocuted, you can tell who did it at once.
In the past two days, Hermione has been worried about Ye Ting hiding such a dangerous thing from them.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Ye Ting lied without blinking,”That’s an old broom I picked up. It looks about 80% new and can still be used, but it’s not very fast – but for a novice, this is not a disadvantage. At least it’s safer.”
“”How can you find such a good thing in Hogwarts?” Hermione asked curiously,”How old is that broom?””
“It’s not that old,” Ye Ting thought for a while,”maybe about 70 or 80 years.”
On Wednesday afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff welcomed their long-awaited first flying class. The class was held on a wide lawn near the castle.
When Ye Ting and the Ravenclaw students arrived slowly, they were surprised to find that the Hufflepuff badgers were already waiting there early, and their enthusiasm was even higher than when they were taking Professor Sprout’s Herbology class.
In contrast, the students of Ravenclaw, the former king of papers, seemed a little lazy, and they didn’t seem to have much interest in the flying class. It seemed as if the two sides had been switched.
It’s no wonder. After all, the Ravenclaw Quidditch team has performed poorly for years, and the team culture seems weak, so it’s natural that the students can’t raise their enthusiasm for flying.
But Ravenclaw Quidditch captain Davis was also helpless. He He had thought about training like Gryffindor and Slytherin, and fighting hard on the field to compete for the championship.
But the problem was that Ravenclaw was mainly composed of girls, and as the captain, he didn’t even dare to give orders loudly, for fear of making any of his players cry.
It would be strange if such a team didn’t rank last every year.
As the little wizards gradually arrived, the flying brooms used in class were also delivered to the scene.
Seeing the flying brooms, the little wizards cheered. However, when they came closer, the smiles on their faces gradually solidified.
They had originally imagined that the school would generously equip them with the latest Nimbus 2000 flying brooms – that is the hottest flying broom this year.
Even if the Nimbus company squeezes the toothpaste every year and only improves the configuration by 10% each time, it is enough to keep it at the top of the industry. The throne of the leader.
To take a step back, even if the school is not so extravagant, at least it will choose the cost-effective Sweeping Seven-Star Broom, right?
Although the Sweeping Series sometimes has poor user experience and occasional brake failure, it is the only choice on the market that can compete with the Nimbus series in terms of parameters, and the price is so affordable that people can’t help but shout”Sweeping, Yes”.
They have even made the worst plan. Even if the school gives them the slightly older Nimbus 1700 or Sweeping Five-Star in order to save money, they can barely accept it. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
At worst, classic brooms like Comet 290, although old, can still be used.
However, what they never expected was that Hogwarts actually prepared a Meteor series for them. The flying brooms of the”Meteor” series!
Just before the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall had introduced this antique broom.
Since its birth in 1955, it has been famous in the competition brooms for its extremely low price.
Decades have passed, and this broom has long been outdated. Even if it is used as a fire stick, it will probably be disliked because of the heavy smoke.
What’s worse is that the Cosmic Broom Co., Ltd. that produced the”Meteor” broom went bankrupt as early as 1978. It is now difficult to find a knowledgeable maintenance worker, not to mention replacing those old and worn parts.
Has Hogwarts fallen to this point now?
Or is the so-called”background” of this ancient magic school to insist on using these”long-standing” objects to distinguish it from those emerging nouveau riche schools?
But, how can this be called”long-standing”? It’s like an antique dug out of a garbage dump! []
But Ye Ting said that it was good to have a meteor, and it was obvious that he had never seen a real antique. If the school was a little more stingy, they might even go to the Room of Requirement to purchase it.
There were piles of really old flying brooms there, all of which were handmade products before the industrialization and standardization of flying brooms.
Each of those brooms was a fine product made by hand by a handmade immortal. Aren’t they more ingenious and soulful than industrial products?
Just then, Madam Huo Qi strode over.
She had short gray hair and two yellow eyes, as sharp as an eagle.
Seeing the students talking about it, she seemed a little embarrassed, touched her nose and said,”The new broom will be here soon. This month… ahem, everyone should make do with it for this semester.”
This sounded like the promises made by the school year after year:
“Air conditioning will be installed next year!”
It’s a pity that there will be so many next years.
Maybe by the time you graduate, the air conditioning will really be installed.
But what does that have to do with you?
“”Okay, okay,”
Madam Hooch said in a raised voice,”Although the meteor broom is slower, it is at least safe and reliable. Come on, stand next to the flying broom and don’t waste time. If you move quickly, you may be able to fly twenty meters away today!”
“……”
The little wizards each picked a broom that looked usable and stood aside, waiting for instructions.
“Come on, children, stretch out your right hand and place it lightly on the broom handle.” Madam Hooch instructed loudly,”Then, with emotion, shout from the bottom of your heart!
“…0This
“get up” actually has no real meaning, it is more like a ritual, just like when people buy watermelons, they always like to pat them first to check the ripeness of the watermelons.
The lawn was suddenly filled with shouts, full of vigor and vitality.
Ye Ting’s arm was above the broom. Thanks to Amber’s divine eye, he had a special talent for flying, and he could use both the wind wings and the flying broom as if they were his arms.
He didn’t say anything at all, but the broom seemed to sense his intention and jumped into his hands impatiently.
Madam Hooch looked at Ye Ting in surprise, with a flash of approval in her eyes.
However, not everyone’s broom was so obedient.
For example, Michael’s broom rolled on the ground for a few circles and then lay there motionless.
Susan’s broom seemed to have just woken up, and it took a long time to fall lazily into her hands. Justin’s broom seemed to be broken, and no matter how he shouted, it lay on the ground motionless.
Hannah’s broom was impatient. It jumped up and hit her forehead hard, causing her to burst into tears.
Anthony’s broom was like a restless loach, twisting on the ground.
He stepped on it and tried to stabilize it, but he didn’t expect the aging broom handle to break, causing him to fall on his back, causing the surrounding students to laugh.
In this chaos, whether the students successfully summoned it or secretly picked it up, in short, everyone held a flying broom in their hands.
Madam Hooch explained to the students in detail the exquisite structure of the flying broom and the correct posture when riding.
The students were excited and stepped on the brooms one after another, eager to try.
The early flying brooms were simple and crude in design, and they didn’t even have an invisible cushion. At that time, only true warriors dared to participate in Quidditch games.
Fortunately, with the advent of Elios Mason’s [Cushion Spell], the difficult Morgan era finally came to an end.
Since then, every flying broom has been equipped with a comfortable invisible cushion, and the riding experience has taken a qualitative leap.
The reason for making the cushion invisible is purely to maintain the traditional image of wizards.
In Ye Ting’s eyes, all of this, including continuing to maintain the broom shape of the flying broom, is an act of taking off pants and farting.
In terms of speed, it is not as fast as the flying swords in the East, and in terms of comfort, it is not as comfortable as the magic carpets in the Middle East.
Of course, the condition of these brooms at Hogwarts is even worse.
Due to their long history, many of the broom cushions have been damaged, which inevitably makes people feel slippery.
Madam Hooch patiently shuttled among the students, instructing them how to hold the broom correctly.
“”All right, children, listen to me,” Madam Hooch announced loudly,”When I blow the whistle, you must push off with all your strength to take off. Remember, push hard!”
She reminded again:”Hold the broom tightly, rise a few meters in the air, lean forward, and then land smoothly. Are you ready? Listen to my whistle… three.”
