The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 31 An Uneasy Flying Lesson

On Wednesday, an announcement was posted in the common room: New Ravenclaw students would take flying lessons with Hufflepuff students on Friday afternoon.

The lounge suddenly burst into laughter. Unlike Gryffindor, Ravenclaw House had no sworn enemies and maintained a lukewarm relationship with the other three houses. Their mood was naturally not as bad as the Gryffindor freshmen who learned that they were going to take flying lessons with Slytherin. Their emotions were more about the longing for flying lessons.

The students of Gryffindor and Slytherin could not be as calm as the young wizards of Ravenclaw. Draco Malfoy talked loudly about flying in the Great Hall all day long. While complaining that the first-year students were not eligible to join the college Quidditch team, he told stories to his classmates. There were many kinds of stories, but most of them ended with him narrowly escaping a Muggle helicopter.

Many young Muggle-born wizards covered their mouths and laughed secretly after hearing this.

Justin Finch-Fletchley, a Hufflepuff freshman whom Tom met in Potions class, said to him: "I bet 100 pounds that Malfoy has never seen a real helicopter, not to mention why the people on the plane Without seeing him, the sound of the helicopter flying could make Malfoy cry."

However, it seems that all young wizards from wizarding families like to talk big things about Quidditch: Seamus Finnigan’s childhood, according to his description, was spent on a broomstick, and Ron also had something to do with airplanes. The explanation is that it is a hang glider - which is much more reliable than Malfoy. This kind of aircraft is, to put it bluntly, the glider used by Detective Conan Rickyd. But in any case, this is a serious violation of the International Federation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy.

But on Thursday morning, a news spread like wildfire in the four houses: Malfoy teased Neville of Gryffindor House during yesterday's flying lesson. As a result, Harry Potter showed off his skills and dived fifty feet. I caught a small ball - this is the recognized template. The rest is all about the size of the ball. Some people say it is a crystal ball as big as a fist, while others swear that the ball is only as big as a quail egg.

After this incident, Malfoy felt a lot depressed and no longer talked about his good flying skills in the auditorium - in fact, he was really good at flying, but he met Harry, a fool. Now Malfoy, even the candy brought from home can't make him happy.

When more than 20 students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stood on the playground in the afternoon, everyone's hearts were in their throats: flying is the most primitive desire in people's hearts, and everyone has it in their hearts. There is this sneaking thought: Harry Potter can do it, maybe I can do it too? I've never touched a broomstick before, maybe I'm a genius too?

However, the so-called growth is to be able to realize one's own mediocrity. Most little wizards can't even make the first step: they can't even get the broom to fly into their hands.

Mrs. Hooch asked everyone to stand next to a broomstick, then asked them to stretch out their right hands, place them on the broom handle, and say again: Get up!

Everyone shouted like this, but most of those old, broken brooms with branches scattered all over the place just rolled over, and some even stayed motionless. However, there were also a few little wizards whose brooms jumped into their hands obediently, such as Tom's. That old broom.

[Flying talent has been unlocked]

The moment he got the broom, Tom received a notification from the system. He clicked on the character bar and saw that there was indeed an additional [Flying] option in his talent.

[Talent: Flying: 7 (born to fly)]

Tom didn't expect that he actually had the talent for flying! What is the use of this talent? Although flying is obviously not as convenient as Floo powder, Portkey, and Apparition, it is handsome! Its affiliated sport, Quidditch, is the national sport in the wizarding world. If you are good at Quidditch, it is equivalent to being good at rugby and basketball in the United States. If you are good at football and baseball in Japan, you will definitely get priority in choosing a spouse.

Didn't you see, Ron Weasley was a loser for five years, but as soon as he was selected for the Quidditch team and performed brilliantly, he left the game.

Tom was a little excited - not because of the priority in choosing a mate, but because this was an excellent opportunity to earn magic stones. Think about how many achievements a Quidditch game can bring, not to mention the tasks that come with it. .

"Okay, everyone look at me!" Mrs. Huo Qi asked everyone to turn their attention to her. "Let me demonstrate how to ride a broom. This is very important. Many little wizards will slip off the broom head when flying for the first time. This is the result of not listening carefully to the lecture, and the way to hold the broom is also very important..."

Mrs. Huo Qi demonstrated the key points and corrected everyone's mistakes in the team. After seeing that everyone had similar mastery, she decided to let the little wizards try flying.

Following Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle, all the little wizards kicked off their legs and left the ground, suspended a few feet in the air. But not everyone was so smooth. For example, Hermione's broom was not very obedient and knocked her down. Roger Malone's broom was completely unresponsive. In fact, it had not been moved at all since the beginning of the course, just like an ordinary broom.

"Professor, I..." Roger Malone's face turned red. This situation was really a bit embarrassing for him.

"Come, let me take a look." Mrs. Huo Qi noticed this unexpected situation and walked over: "Child, follow the steps I taught you. Okay, very good, the movements are very standard... Why doesn't this broom Are you moving?"

Mrs. Hooch was also confused, but she quickly realized something. She took Roger Malone's broom and found that it was an ordinary broom...

"Well, this may be a mistake made during the previous tidying up." Mrs. Hoqi was a little embarrassed. She handed her broom to Roger, and then Roger only showed it once and flew up.

"Very good!" Mrs. Hooch clapped, but just as her attention was focused on Roger Malone, another accident happened.

Padma Patil is a new student in Ravenclaw this year, and she is a little special: she is the only twin among the new students. She also has an older sister who was assigned to Gryffindor: Parvati Patil. Both of them are very handsome, and they look like beautiful girls at first glance.

However, Padma Petil's flying talent is obviously not as good as her appearance. Her performance in the whole class was quite satisfactory. She was not the first echelon of awakening broomsticks, but she was not the last one either. At this time, she was sitting on the broom leaning on the broom, watching the conversation between Mrs. Hooch and Roger.

Safe landing!
