Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 28 Flight Lessons

Although Maple stopped going to the Forbidden Forest after that, Hermione still ignored him.Alas, this arrogant little witch obviously wants to talk to Maple, but she just can't let go of herself and speaks first. It seems that she has to suffer some losses before she can behave herself.

Things returned to the main line, and Maple soon discovered that Harry's eyes had been cured, and he had been without them for several days.Looking at this Harry who was completely different from the original time and space, Maple couldn't help but feel a little confused about time and space.

This Snape, you are so quick and direct, I really admire you!

Although there was no unpleasant scene on the train due to Maple's interference, the hostile stance of Gryffindor and Slytherin soon caused Harry and Malfoy, the young enemies, to start a fight.

It was also the first time that Harry discovered that he actually knew a boy. He hated this guy more than he hated Dudley. He only believed this after meeting Draco Malfoy.

And Snape undoubtedly played a role in adding fuel to the fire. Although taking off his glasses made Snape even more obsessed with Harry's eyes, the proportion of his eyes in his face was still too small. Without the obstruction of his glasses, Snape could The face that Snape remembered when he hit the sandbag appeared more clearly before his eyes.This made Snape still find fault with Harry from time to time and deduct points from Gryffindor.

The dislike of Snape undoubtedly made Malfoy more hateful in Harry's heart, and Potions class became Harry's most painful class.

It was precisely because of the unhappiness with Slytherin that Harry was not very happy when he saw flying lessons in the Gryffindor lounge because they had to take them with Slytherin students.

It is precisely because of their obsession and desire to fly into the blue sky that people tirelessly study the mystery of flight and finally invented the airplane.

In the wizarding world, it is not easy to directly use magic spells to achieve flight, so the wizarding world is also obsessed with flying, which can be seen from their invention of Quidditch.

Muggle-born wizards are afraid of making a fool of themselves in front of their classmates, so not only do they not have the normal enthusiasm for flying, but they are slightly resistant to it.Wizards from the magical world are different. They no longer have this worry. In addition, many of them have watched Quidditch games and are eager to shine in the crowd like Quidditch athletes and become the one that attracts everyone's attention. Therefore, Showed unusual enthusiasm for flying.

Malfoy spent the entire day talking about flying, complaining loudly that first years were not eligible to play on the House Quidditch team.Maple really wanted to record this sentence, and then sit back and wait for Harry to be slapped in the face when he became the youngest Seeker.

Not only Malfoy, but also the first-year Gryffindor boys from wizarding families, such as Ron Seamus, kept bragging about how awesome they were at flying.

Before taking flying lessons, Hermione's performance made him discover another problem with the little witch.If you are overly nervous about knowledge that you cannot master, just don’t know it. What’s the big deal? Why embarrass yourself?

This is probably because her current knowledge, insights and abilities all come from books, and she has a reluctance to admit defeat, which makes her overly nervous and sensitive to external affairs.Books are written by people, and it is better to have no books than to believe in them.The knowledge that truly belongs to you still needs to be experienced personally. Over-reliance on books and being disconnected from reality will prevent you from fully transforming knowledge into your own abilities.

Therefore, Hermione showed a nervousness that was seriously incompatible with her profound knowledge and status as a top student when it came to flying, something that could not be learned by relying on superficial words in books.Then she nervously read through all the books on flying in the library, and then told the classmates around her about the knowledge she read in "The Origins of Quidditch" while eating breakfast.Rather than giving flight guidance to her classmates, it is better to say that she wanted to use this method to relieve her own tension and discomfort.

She was then interrupted by the arrival of the owl, and it was on this occasion that Neville Longbottom received a memory ball from her grandmother.Hold the memory ball tightly. If it turns red, the person holding the memory ball has forgotten something.

Poor little Neville turned red when he found out that he had got the memory ball, and then he tried desperately to remember what he had forgotten.At this moment, Draco Malfoy passed by the Gryffindor dining table and suddenly snatched the memory ball from his hand.

Harry and Ron jumped to their feet.For some reason, they half expected a fight with Malfoy.

Really, you are wizards, why do you always think about using fists and kicks like reckless men?

"Here comes the memory ball!" Maple directly used the flying spell that he recently learned from Professor Flitwick. After mastering the floating spell, it was not difficult to learn this spell.However, the difficulty of casting this spell will change depending on the distance between the wizard and the object, as well as the gravity and size of the object.

However, there is also a lazy way to use this spell, which is to put your own special mark on your own items to make it easier for your magic to react with them, which can reduce the difficulty of casting the spell.

"Want to do something to me, Malfoy?" Maple said with a playful smile.

"Hmph!" Malfoy left with a sullen face before Professor McGonagall came to the rescue.Coming from a wizarding family, his father specifically reminded him, so Malfoy knew that the wizard who controlled Obscurus was someone he couldn't mess with.

Ding, get some academic points.

"Keep your belongings, Neville!" Maple said with a smile after handing the memory ball back to Neville.

"Thank you, Maple!" Neville said gratefully.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Maple and the other Gryffindor students hurried down the steps and onto the grounds in front of the door, preparing for their first flying lesson.

It was a clear, breezy day, and the grass rippled slightly beneath their feet as they walked quickly down the sloping lawn toward a flat lawn on the opposite side of the field.Beyond the lawn was the forest, with dark trees swaying in the wind in the distance.

The Slytherin students were already there, and twenty broomsticks were neatly arranged on the ground.

Their teacher, Mrs. Huo Qi, is here.She has short gray hair and her eyes are yellow, like the eyes of an eagle.

"Okay, what are you waiting for?" she snapped. "Everyone stand next to a broomstick. Quick, quick, hurry up."

Maple looked down at the broomstick at her feet with a look of disgust on her face. This kind of thing should really be put in a museum.Hogwarts shouldn't be short of this kind of money, right? Or are the ones given to new students specially prepared to withstand falls?

"Put your right hand over the broom handle," Mrs. Hooch shouted from the front, "and say, 'Get up!'"

"Get up!" everyone shouted.

Harry's broom immediately jumped into his hand, but only a few brooms were so obedient.Hermione Granger's broom just rolled on the ground, but Neville's broom didn't move at all.

Maple's broom didn't move at all at first. It seemed that she felt Maple's disgust and got angry.

Oh, you still get angry with me, okay, you have the skills!

Maple pulled out her wand, and the broom, which seemed frightened, immediately flew into Maple's hand.But to others, it looks like he summoned the broom with a magic spell.Only a few students next to Maple took a closer look, and then subconsciously stayed away from Maple.

Then Mrs. Hooch showed them how to ride on a broom without falling off their heads.She walked around the group correcting their hand grips.Harry and Ron heard her criticizing Malfoy for what he had been doing wrong.I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Okay, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Hold the broom steadily, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground. Listen to my whistle—three—two—"

However, Neville was too nervous and was afraid of being left on the ground, so before the whistle touched Mrs. Hooch's lips, he kicked hard and flew up.

"Come back, child!" cried Mrs. Hooch, but Neville rose straight up like a cork from a bottle—twelve feet—twenty feet.Harry saw his frightened, pale face looking down at the ground that was rapidly receding, and saw him gasping for air as he slid off the side of the broom handle, and then—

"Upside down golden clock!" When Neville was about to fall to the ground, Maple waved his wand, and Neville was lifted upside down and flew up into the air.

"The golden bell falls to the ground!" The spell was lifted and Neville fell to the ground again.

Ding, get some academic points.

Although Neville landed safely under Maple's spell, he huddled on the ground, obviously frightened.

"Mrs. Hooch, I think Neville should be frightened. Do you think it's okay if I take him to the school hospital and let Madam Pomfrey check it out?" Maple walked over, helped the trembling Neville, and said Mrs. Huo Qi said.

"Okay, please, dear. I think if you come back quickly, you can practice flying for a while." Mrs. Huo Qi said.

"Okay, Mrs. Hooch." Maple picked up the limp Neville and walked towards the school hospital.

"Okay, let's continue the class." Mrs. Huo Qi said sternly, "Follow my instructions. If any of you changes the flight route without authorization, then don't come to my class again."

Then, at Mrs. Huo Qi’s order, all the students took off together.Not everyone flies very steadily, and some even shake back and forth. After all, it is difficult to control the direction with only a broomstick. This is like the first time many people come into contact with a bicycle.

But fortunately, with Neville's criminal record, many people without self-confidence did not fly too high. Some fearful people flew less than one meter, which was not higher than Mrs. Huo Qi's height, but she No blame at all.For her as a teacher, the safety of these children is the most important thing.

These will be overcome gradually as they get used to the feeling of being in the air.

Harry and Malfoy are among the best flyers and the highest flyers.Malfoy deliberately flew past Harry, then waved a glass ball in front of his eyes.

"Malfoy, give me back Neville's memory ball!" Harry shouted.

"Ah, I accidentally dropped it, do you think it will break?" Malfoy threw the memory ball aside and laughed.

Seeing that Neville's memory ball was about to be dropped to the ground, Harry didn't know whether the magical item would break. But the moment Malfoy threw the memory ball away, he had only one idea, and that was to save Neville's memory ball. Protect this memory ball.

For a moment, Harry couldn't care less that Mrs. Hooch was right next to him. The little lion was always like this when he was impulsive.He leaned forward and pointed his broomstick downward.

In the blink of an eye, he speeded up and swooped down, chasing the glass ball.The wind howled in his ears, mixed with the screams of the audience below, as he stretched out his hand and caught the glass ball one foot above the ground.He straightened the broom handle in time, and then he fell gently on the grass, holding the memory ball firmly in his hand.

"Potter, what are you doing?" Mrs. Hooch found awkwardly that as she had not seen Harry's actions immediately, she had just finished shouting this sentence, and Harry had already completed the whole process.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hooch, I just wanted to save Neville's memory ball!" After the incident, Harry remembered Mrs. Hooch and suddenly said with a nervous look on his face.

"Good boy, don't be so impulsive next time. If you are not careful, you will break your neck." After Mrs. Ho Qi said this, she couldn't help but ask: "Harry, this is your first time riding a flying sky." Broom?"

"Yes, Mrs. Hooch," Harry said.

"It's unbelievable, you are such a flying genius, Harry!" After saying this, Mrs. Hooch asked Harry to go back to the team, but after class, Mrs. Hooch told Professor McGonagall about it.

Although this time it was only a few feet tall and not as thrilling as the original time and space, Harry still showed off his flying talent beautifully.Professor McGonagall, who was crazy about looking for seekers, still chose to make Harry the youngest seeker at Hogwarts.

Although things took a major turn due to Maple's intervention, they turned a corner and returned to their original trajectory.
