Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

The arrival of flying lesson professor Rolanda Hooch calmed down the previous noise of the crowd.

For little wizards, the authority of a teacher is largely determined by the lessons they teach - the more engaging the lessons, the more effective the teacher's words tend to be.

This was exactly what flying lessons were like. Mrs. Hooch didn't need to speak, she just walked out of the castle, which silenced the little wizards.

Of course, her sharp yellow eyes like an eagle probably also played a big role in deterring her.

"Okay, the chatting time is over, everyone can start!" Mrs. Huo Qi's voice was also very sharp, "Everyone stands next to a broomstick. Hurry up and don't get the wrong position."

Broomstick?

Jerry lowered his head and looked at the brooms placed on the lawn, with a slight disgust on his face - they were basically all worn out, some had crooked handles, as if they had been hit hard; some branches had broken branches. Poke it outwards, as if it is about to fall apart.

'After all, it is an old teaching aid from a thousand-year-old school, so we can't expect too much. 'Having said that, Jerry still felt a little disgusted. 'Can't wizards replace their mobility tools with magic carpets or motorcycles?It’s not like there isn’t. '

Although Jerry knew that the flying broomstick was actually equipped with invisible cushions, pedals, variable direction and speed grips, and other devices that could improve the riding experience, he still didn't like this stick-like vehicle.

He felt pain between his legs just looking at him. He was not an ancient witch, and the handle of the broom was not smeared with 'Witch's Brew' - a topical psychedelic potion that can improve a witch's spellcasting state and assist in divination.

European wizards prefer broomsticks as a means of transportation, which is also a historical choice.

In the dark witch-hunting frenzy, it is necessary for wizards to prepare a means of transportation that is easy to carry around and less likely to arouse Muggle suspicion. A broom meets this requirement at first, and is more normal than carrying a bathtub or chair. There are so many people that you can disguise yourself as a street sweeper anytime and anywhere.

Although the secret was later leaked, it even became one of the standards for witch-hunting by Christian inquisitors...

However, by that time, the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" had almost been promulgated, and European wizards had fully moved into 'underground' activities, so broomsticks were not abandoned on a large scale.

On the other hand, the prosperity of Quidditch has also given the broomstick a strong vitality, allowing it to not only be passed down to this day, but also constantly updated.

'That makes perfect sense, but I still don't like riding a broom. Jerry curled his lips secretly.

Among the little wizards present, no one was as interested in flying broomsticks as Jerry. Most of them were eager to ride on them and fly into the sky in one breath.

Even children who are a little afraid of heights have some hidden expectation of getting rid of the shackles of the earth.

But there are many young wizards who are dissatisfied with these old brooms, and this does not distinguish between Slytherin and Gryffindor.

"I hope nothing happens soon. Fred and George said that the brooms in the school are too old to be used. Some brooms will tremble when they fly high, and some always secretly deflect on their own."

Ron checked the broomstick next to him - the handle was twisted and the branches were loose, and he complained softly.The broomstick looked older than his brother Charlie's, which disappointed him.

Draco on the other side happened to hear Ron's words.He puffed up his chest proudly. How could Weasley, who had more children than he could afford, be compared with the wealthy Malfoy family?Not only do I have several good brooms at home, my father will also mail seven nimbus 2000 to me tomorrow.

'As a reward for not being able to deal with that guy Gunter...' Thinking of this, Draco felt very aggrieved.He really couldn't figure out why the opponent was so powerful. The entire Slytherin team was knocked down by the stun curse.

'Forget it if you can't deal with Jerry. After all, although he himself is a shameful blood traitor, Gunter is still one of the traditional famous families of Slytherin House. '

Although Draco was still a little aggrieved, he had learned to accept the status quo over the past few days.At the moment, what annoys him the most is that he has to use these old gadgets like Weasley.

"Waiting for my father to bring back the light ship..." Draco looked down at the evil broom at his feet with disgust on his face.

"Attention everyone, now stretch out your right hand and place it on top of the broom." Seeing that the students had already stood still, Mrs. Huo Qi walked to the front of the team and emphasized the key points of the operation loudly: "Then say: 'Get up'!"

"Get up!" the little wizard shouted in unison.

Jerry's broom immediately bounced off the ground and flew straight into his hand without any hesitation.

This is not surprising. Not to mention Jerry's outstanding flying and magic talents, the system also provides strong support for him to control the broom.

The proficiency level of the magic card [Flying Broomstick] has exceeded 15000, and the characteristic entry 'Broom and Man are One' has been activated, giving him a vague feeling of being commanded by an arm when calling the broom, without any obstacles at all. .

In addition to Jerry, Harry and Malfoy also gave great performances.Their brooms jumped up almost in sequence and crashed into their respective palms.

Immediately afterwards, Ron and Seamus also obtained their brooms through the air. It seemed that the series of stories they told today were not entirely fictional.

However, there were only a few obedient brooms like this, and more brooms kept rolling on the ground, refusing to obey despite the little wizards calling back and forth.

Of all the people, Neville was in the worst condition. His broom seemed to have taken root in the ground and refused to even move.

'So how did he fall?It seems that he may not be able to fly today. Could it be that his potential has exploded? Jerry glanced at Neville and began to think wildly.

However, his hands were not just idle.

While other little wizards were still summoning brooms, Jerry carefully took care of the old cultural relic broom in his hand.

Naturally, there is a complete set of repairing spells and descaling spells. Although they cannot maintain the enchantment runes inside the broomstick, they can at least straighten out the awkward branches and remove external stains.
