Retirement from Hogwarts

At 02:30 on Friday afternoon, Jack and Hermione hurried out of the main castle and ran to the Quidditch pitch on the left side of the castle.

"Why are you here so late?" Padma Patil, who was in the dormitory next to Hermione, asked strangely.

"I...we prepared some things." Hermione said breathlessly.

Jack, who was following Hermione, took out a lot of wristbands from the schoolbag he was carrying and distributed them to the students in the class.

"This is a bracer imbued with an acid protection spell," he said. "It will prevent your clothes from being corroded by the acid of Darwin's Flytrap."

Before the students around them could thank them, their teacher, Mrs. Huo Qi, arrived.She has short gray hair and two yellow eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

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

Jack glanced at the brooms at everyone's feet.It looks different from the novel, Jack thought.The branches of these brooms are neat and orderly, and the broom handles are as clean as new.He even saw the Nimbus 2000 logo on the broom at his feet.

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

"Get up!" everyone shouted.

Jack's broom lay motionless on the ground, not even interested in rolling around.Although it is not unusual for a broom to fail to fly, most people's brooms respond to their owners in some way.

Jack squatted down a little angrily. He looked like a robber in a police movie. He tapped his broom with his wand and said softly: "I don't know what you are dissatisfied with me about, but if you wait a minute, you will still be like this." Don't give me face. I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally light you up."

Then he stood up and put his right hand on top of the broom.

"stand up!"

The broom under his feet suddenly jumped into his hand.

The people around looked at him in surprise.

"How did you do it?" Hermione asked with a look of disbelief.

"I just gave him a little help," Jack replied. "Help him understand where he is."

Then Mrs. Hooch showed them how to get on a broom without slipping off her head.She walked up and down the line, correcting their grip.

"So we can only sit on this log?" Jack complained in a dissatisfied voice. "I thought there could be a cushion charm or something like that to add a cushion to this thing."

Then Mrs. Hooch took them onto a high platform, surrounded by a huge Darwin's Flytrap.

"Okay, as soon as I whistle, you push your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Don't worry about falling. Once you fall, these flytraps will catch you. I won’t let you get hurt. Listen to my whistle—three—two—one.”

Following Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle, black shadows took off from the ground and flew into the sky.

Mrs. Huo Qi also flew into the sky after the students took off.

Suddenly, Jack's broom jerked.Almost throwing Jack off the broom.

Jack held the broom handle tightly, turned over on the broom dexterously, circled around the broom handle, and sat firmly on the broom again.You are still a bit young to fight with me. Looking at the broom under him, Jack curled his lips in disdain.

Unexpectedly, the broom seemed to hear his thoughts and rushed forward like an untamed horse.

"That black-haired boy over there, you're flying too fast!" Mrs. Huo Qi behind him shouted to him loudly.

"This broom is out of control," he shouted back.With his voice, the broom flew faster.

As he flew faster and faster, the protection of the Venus flytraps under them seemed to come alive. Huge insect traps opened one after another, and plant vines quickly swept towards him from the insect traps.

He had to barely control the direction of the broom to avoid the vines coming towards him one after another.Finally, he couldn't hide anymore.A thick vine knocked him off the flying sweeper.Everyone exclaimed.

Then, Jack hovered in the air.

"If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm a sick cat, right?" Fang Yuan roared.He quickly chased after the broomstick.As they chased them farther and farther, more and more Venus flytraps began to attack them.

Jack and the broomstick quickly shuttled through the jungle of vines, chasing each other.They kept bypassing the flying tentacles and the flytraps hidden in the leaves.Until they flew out of this land covered by fly lizards and flew into a wilderness.

Finally, Jack forced the broomstick to the end of a narrow valley.He walked over slowly like a broom.

"You fly, you keep flying. Why don't you fly anymore?" Jack said with a smirk on his face.

Seeing this, Broomstick couldn't help but lean against the wall.

Jack walked slowly towards the broom, tapping his wand on the palm of his hand as he walked, as if considering what spell to use.

. . . . . .

It was already half an hour later when Jack returned to the Quidditch pitch.After seeing Jack, everyone on the court flew over and started surrounding Jack asking questions.

"Come on, come on, Professor Flitwick is here." Hermione's voice came from a distance.

"Jack, are you back?!" Hermione said in surprise after seeing Jack.

"Well, although this guy is a bit difficult to deal with." Jack raised the broom in his hand and said, "But it turns out that I am still better." Jack smiled proudly.

Mrs. Hooch and Professor Flitwick looked at Jack carefully and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was not injured.After they looked at each other, Professor Flitwick said:

"Mrs. Hooch has told me all about your performance in heaven just now. I wonder if you are interested in joining the Quidditch team?"

"Join the team?" Jack asked in surprise, "Am I a little inappropriate for my age?"

"Since Gryffindor can recruit Potter into the team, there is no reason why we can't let you join. We Ravenclaws are not idiots who don't know how to adapt." Professor Flitwick smiled confidently.

"In that case, of course I have no problem." Jack said happily.

"Then it's settled. Someone from the Quidditch team will contact you after school tonight." Professor Flitwick said happily.
