Take things as they come at Hogwarts
Chapter 106
The performance of sweeping 8 stars is naturally very superior, but it is a pity that as the first generation of trial overhaul products, it has been changed too much.
First of all, the initial speed accelerates from 10 seconds to 50 miles in 7 stars, and suddenly accelerates to 70 miles in 10 seconds!
It's a big leap, not comparable to the 2000 Halo that accelerates to 100 miles in 100 seconds, but it's already great.
But this kind of practice of not considering the handling and only increasing the speed not only greatly reduces the safety of the Sweep 8 Stars, but also betrays the tradition of the Sweep series.
Prior to the release of the Light Wheel series, the entire British wizarding world was in competition between the Sweep and Comet sets.
The broomsticks of the two manufacturers, one is known for its ease of handling and the other for its excellent braking performance.
Yes, they are not fast, no wonder they were finally surpassed by the light wheel series and became a second-rate flying broom manufacturer.
But now, although the latest product of the Comet series, the Comet 290, has increased speed, it still maintains the tradition of the Comet series, has good braking, and the "250" is selling well this year!
In practice, it can quickly make a sharp stop in the air, minimizing the risk of a player encountering a "car accident" in the air, and at the same time, it will not cause the player to accidentally fly out of bounds and then be penalized.
All in all, the response was very good!
But sweeping 8 stars, it's a lot faster, but the controllability has become a mess!
Many amateur teams use it because they are not used to this huge shift and suffer from frequent accidents.
Therefore, even if the price is lowered by sweeping 8 stars in the end, it will not sell very well.
Ron didn't expect that Locke didn't care about the verbal criticism of Quidditch lovers who swept 8 stars, and decisively bought it, and was willing to lend it to him.
"Ron, I promised Wood to be Harry's replacement, but don't try to drag me to train with them. In that case, my broomstick won't be useful in the dormitory, so I might as well lend it to you!" Locke said unconcernedly.
"Thank you, Locke! You're really my best friend! But where did you get so much money to buy a sweep of 8 stars?" Ron feared that Locke would be in financial crisis because of himself.
He felt that if he was only Harry's backup, Locke didn't need to buy a new broomstick.
After all, if Harry leaves unexpectedly, then Locke, who replaces Harry, will directly use Harry's light wheel 2000 to play.
Because even if it just swept 8 stars this year, it is still far from being compared with the light wheel 2000.
The Halo 2000 was launched the year before, and everyone thought it was similar to the latest product in the Sweep series, which swept 7 stars.
But it turned out that comparing these two brooms together was a complete joke!
6 sweeps 7 stars for a light wheel 2000, no one wants to change.
One is 50 miles in ten seconds, one is 100 miles in ten seconds, and then the handling is about the same?
And the top speed of the Halo 2000 is far more than the sweep of 7 stars!
To get back to the point, Quidditch's goalkeeper actually relies most on the broomstick's initial velocity.
Because if you want to stop the ball, in addition to being quick with your eyes and hands, you also need to have a strong ability to move short distances. And this is related to the initial velocity of the broom.
The initial velocity of sweeping 8 stars and 10 seconds and 70 miles is currently the fastest except for the light wheel series.
It's fair to say that even with this broomstick, Wood would have chosen Ron as a goalkeeper backup.
It's no wonder that Ron thinks that Locke bought it for the sake of his good brother, and swept 8 stars.
And Locke's idea was similar to Ron's guess.
Anyway, the performance of the sweeping 8 stars is superior, and it is also suitable for the Locke of the Seeker, and the price is also cheap, only 60 Galleons, which is only one-fifth of the Halo 2000.
As for poor handling...... Nothing can be perfect.
Anyway, Ron flew out when he pounced on the ball, and even if he changed the Halo 2001, he couldn't fly out halfway and fly back again.
"Ron, I don't think you have to worry about Locke's lack of money. You don't know what he's been up to this summer!" Hermione chimed in.
"What did he do?" Ron was a little confused.
"He invented a new practical deformation technique, and he got a large sum of gold gallons from the patent fee!"
"Oh, Hermione, how did you know about this!" Locke was surprised.
"I have my own sources. Hermione said casually.
This time it was Locke's turn to be uncomfortable. Hermione had told him the previous year that she had her own channels.
But it can't be helped, who makes themselves more mysterious and secretive? This is Hermione's revenge!
"But Hermione, you better not tell Harry about it. That's my black history. That technique is not a big deal at all, the main thing is that the paper is too well written with the help of the professors, and then there is the most critical Helena's potion recipe ......" (read the violent novel, just go to the Feilu novel network!)
"Who is Helena?" Hermione hit the nail on the head.
"A ghost at Hogwarts. I met during the summer vacation. Locke replied.
"Where is she, can we go meet her?" asked Hermione.
"I'm afraid not. She has a cold temperament, is moody, and likes to be quiet. In fact, she ignored me as soon as school started. Locke spread his hands.
"That's right......" Hermione didn't ask any more, but she took it to heart....... []
When Harry returned from Colin and Ginny, Ron immediately went up to share with Harry the good news that he would have a new broom available tomorrow.
Harry was a little surprised, but also happy for Ron.
Then the five little wizards went back to the dormitory, changed their clothes, packed up, and went to Hagrid's together.
Going to Hagrid on the weekend afternoon of the first week of school was agreed upon by a team of five.
Originally, Hermione thought that Harry and Ron would not be able to come, but she didn't expect them to be discharged from the hospital so soon.
And when the five of them came here, they happened to see Lockhart, who was separated from Hagrid and walked towards him.
Locke greeted politely, and Lockhart barely coped with it, then left immediately.
"He looks upset!" said Harry.
"It's really upset. I don't know what Hagrid said to him?" Locke agreed.
Normally, every time he meets Harry and Locke, Lockhart pesters them a lot of words.
Now, Lockhart doesn't even want to take the initiative to talk to them.
"Don't stop here, let's go ask Hagrid?" Hermione urged the boys.
"That's right. So the two boys got out of the way, let Hermione go in the front, and led everyone to Hagrid.
Hagrid saw them from afar and greeted them very warmly: "I thought you had forgotten about me, it's great that you came to see me!"
"Hagrid, these pumpkins...... Did you train it?" Neville watched as Hagrid circled around a giant pumpkin.
"Of course, as soon as Halloween arrives, these little darlings of mine will come in handy!" Hagrid said with an expectant expression.
"Halloween is still 2.7 months away, Hagrid!" Ron reminded.
"Trust me, Ron. Two months are gone in a blink of an eye!I often see young wizards grow up in the blink of an eye and leave school, like your two older brothers!" Hagrid exclaimed suddenly.
Ron didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Hagrid, what did Lockhart do with you just now?" Harry quickly brought the topic back to him.
"Did he think I didn't know how to prevent the water demon from burrowing into the well? He also told me that he was good at driving out female ghosts, and I told him that if Locke was allowed to come, the female ghosts would immediately scream and flee in fear when they saw him!"
"Oh, Hagrid, I suppose they're just screaming and lunging at me!" Locke didn't think of female ghosts as magical creatures.
"Yes...... Attracting female ghosts, you're as good as Lockhart at that. Hermione's words meant something.
Locke was dumbfounded.
