Retirement from Hogwarts

When Jack and Hermione passed by the foyer in front of the Great Hall of Hogwarts one morning, they noticed a group of young wizards discussing something heatedly around the notice board.

A huge notice for the opening of flying lessons was posted on the notice board in the foyer.Every first-year student gathered around the notice board had an excited smile on his face, and everyone was telling others about their previous flying experiences.Even Ron, who was fined to stay in school for killing Neville Toad at the beginning of the school year, excitedly recounted the story of how he escaped a shuttle on a broomstick.

In the next few days, almost everyone was talking about their flying experience. A platinum-haired Slytherin student boasted to everyone about how he chased each other on the same shuttle and finally won the game.

And he is not the only one who speaks such nonsense.Another Gryffindor student named Seamus Finnigan said he spent his entire childhood flying around the planet's asteroid belt on a broomstick.

This atmosphere lasted until this Thursday night. When Jack and Hermione came to the Great Hall during dinner, they found that the freshmen Gryffindor and Slytherin, who were originally as excited as chicken blood, seemed to have physical symptoms. He was eating quietly at his long table as if he was empty.

In the corner of the Gryffindor table, Jack also saw Neville, who had bandages on his hands and looked like a frost-beaten eggplant, and Harry, who was constantly comforting him by the side.

"What's wrong with you, Neville?" Jack asked as he walked over.Although he was asking Neville, his eyes were looking at Harry, who was sitting next to Neville.

"Neville fell off his broomstick during flying lessons this afternoon and broke his arm," Harry replied.

"Did that Slytherin blond do it?" Jack glanced at Malfoy, who was sitting on the Slytherin table, and asked proudly.

Harry opened his mouth, but Neville interrupted him before he could say anything.

"No," Neville said, "I'm just too nervous."

"But thanks to that platinum boy."

"That's why Harry became our Seeker."

At this time, the Weasley brothers appeared from behind Jack and Hermione without anyone noticing.

"But you're in trouble, your flight practice class has been cancelled."

"Mrs. Huo Qi seems to want you to take a good theoretical lesson first."

"Only those who have passed the flight theory test can practice flying."

Fred and George said in unison.

"What do you want to express by talking so much? Is there any way you can let us take practical flying lessons?" Hermione's voice came from the side.

Fred and George looked at each other, looking at Jack with some sympathy.It's not a good thing to have such a smart girlfriend, Fred's eyes conveyed this message to Jack.Then they spoke:

"We have a way to give you practical lessons."

"But why are we telling you?"

"Then let's deal, what do you want?" Hermione said

Jack felt that Fred and George looked at him even more pitifully.Jack couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"We heard little Jack has a knack for solidifying potions."

"We provide the raw materials, how about you help us make a batch of solid potions?"

"make a deal."

"Don't do it."

Hermione looked at Jack who objected in surprise.

"Your price is not high enough." Jack watched as Fred and George stretched out their right index fingers and shook them gently in front of them. "You just provided us with unconfirmed news, but we have to spend a lot of time making solid potions. Your price is too low." Jack glanced at the teacher's desk as he spoke.

Fred and George looked at each other as if they had discovered a new world, and then said:

"There's nothing we can do. It's us who can take the initiative."

"If you don't have our information, you'll have to go to flight theory classes."

"I don't think so." At this moment, Hermione, who saw Jack's suggestion, seemed to have figured out something, and stared at Fred and George with a look of unkindness and said:

"If we tell Mrs. Huo Qi that someone clearly has a solution to the hidden dangers in flying lessons but refuses to share it with her, and only wants to use this information to blackmail junior students. I don't know what Mrs. Huo Qi will think. Woolen cloth?"

"I just said that Jack and Hermione are not easy to fool, but you still don't believe it."

"You finally agreed to my plan, so don't put the blame on me."

Before Jack and Hermione could continue talking, the two of them started arguing.

In the end, with the "friendly help" of Fred and George, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's flying lessons were not changed into theory lessons.

However, as a price, they had to fly around a group of Darwin's Flycatchers, which forced them to control their flight speed to avoid being attacked by the mutated giant Flycatchers.Of course, Fred and George also received a small amount of solid potion as payment.
