The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 31: Not so flat flying lesson

On Wednesday, an announcement was posted in the lounge: Ravenclaw freshmen will take flying lessons with Hufflepuff students on Friday afternoon.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the lounge. Unlike Gryffindor, Ravenclaw Academy had no rivals, and maintained a lukewarm relationship with the other three houses. Naturally, their mood was not as bad as the freshman Gryffindor who learned that they were going to take flying lessons with Slytherin. Their emotions were more of a longing for flying lessons.

Gryffindor and Slytherin students couldn't be as calm as Ravenclaw's little wizards, and Draco Malfoy spoke loudly in the Great Hall all day about flying. While complaining about the inability of first-year students to play on the House Quidditch team, he told his classmates stories, many of which ended with his terrifying dodging of a Muggle helicopter.

Many young Muggle-born wizards covered their mouths and laughed when they heard it.

Justin Finch, a freshman at Hufflepuff whom Tom met in Potions class, told him: "I'll bet £100 that Malfoy has never seen a real helicopter, not to mention why the people on the plane Didn't see him, the sound of the helicopter flying could make Malfoy cry."

However, it seems that all young wizards from wizarding families love to talk big about Quidditch: Seamus Finnigan's childhood, according to his description, was spent on broomsticks, and Ron also had something to do with airplanes. The fate of the solution, but he is a hang glider - this is much more reliable than Malfoy, this kind of aircraft is, to put it bluntly, the glider used by the famous detective Conan Rickid. But in any case, this is a serious breach of the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act.

But on Thursday morning, news spread like wildfire across the four Houses: Malfoy was teasing Neville at Gryffindor in yesterday's flying class, and Harry Potter did his best, diving fifty feet. Grabbed a small ball - this is the accepted template, and the rest is all about the size of the ball, some say it's a crystal ball the size of a fist, and some people swear that the ball is only the size of a quail egg.

After this incident, Malfoy felt a lot of sluggishness, and he never talked about his ability to fly in the auditorium again—in fact, he was really good at flying, but he met Harry, a jerk. 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 heart also mentioned in their throats: flying, itself is the most primitive desire in people's hearts, and everyone's heart There is this kind of dark poking thought: Harry Potter can do it, maybe I can too? I haven't touched a broom before, maybe I'm a genius too?

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

Mrs. Hooch asked everyone to stand on the edge of a broom, and then asked them to stretch out their right hand, put it on the broom handle, and say: Get up!

Everyone shouted like this, but most of those shabby and old broomsticks were just rolling, and some even didn't move, but there were a few little wizards who 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 an option of [Flying] in his talent.

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

Tom had no idea that he actually had the talent to fly! What is this talent for? Although flying is obviously not as convenient as Floo fans, Portkeys, and Apparitions, it's handsome! Its affiliated sport, Quidditch, is a national sport in the wizarding world. If you play Quidditch well, it is equivalent to being good at rugby and basketball in the United States, and football and baseball in Japan. You can definitely get the right to choose a mate.

Don't you see, Ron Weasley has been a loser for five years, but as soon as he was selected for the Quidditch team, and after a wave of high-profile performances, he was released directly.

Tom was a little excited - not because of priority in mate choice, but because it was a perfect opportunity to earn magic stones, think about how much achievements a Quidditch match can bring, not to mention the tasks that come with it.

"Okay, everyone look at me!" Mrs. Hooch asked everyone to turn their attention to her, "I will demonstrate how to ride a broom, this is very important, many little wizards will slip off the broom head when they fly for the first time. That's what happens when you don't listen carefully, and the way you hold the broom is also crucial..."

Mrs. Hooch demonstrated the main points while correcting mistakes for everyone in the team. Seeing that everyone had about the same grasp, she decided to let the little wizards try flying. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

With Mrs. Hooch's whistle, all the little wizards kicked their legs, left the ground, and suspended several feet in the air. But not everyone was so smooth. For example, Hermione's broom was not very obedient and shook her off. Roger Malone's broom was completely unresponsive. In fact, it hadn't moved at all since the beginning of the class, just like a normal broom.

"Professor, I..." Roger Malone blushed, this situation was really a bit ashamed to him.

"Come on, let me see." Mrs. Hooch noticed the sudden situation, and she walked over: "Son, follow the steps I taught you, okay, very good, the movements are very standard... Why does this broom move? Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Hooch was also at a loss, but she quickly realized what she was doing. She took Roger Malone's broom and found that it was an ordinary broom...

"Okay, it might be a mistake when tidying up before." Mrs. Hooch was a little embarrassed, she handed her broom to Roger, and Roger flew up after only showing it once.

"Very good!" Mrs. Hooch applauded, but just as she was focusing on Roger Malone, another accident happened.

Padma Patil, a freshman at Ravenclaw this year, has something special: she's the only twin among the freshmen. She also has a sister who has been assigned to Gryffindor: Parvati Patil, both of them are very handsome, and they are beautiful at first glance.

However, Padma Patil's flying talent is obviously not as high as her face value. Her performance in the whole class is quite satisfactory. She is not the first echelon to wake up the broom, but she is not the tail of the crane. At this moment she was sitting on the broom, watching the conversation between Mrs. Hooch and Roger.
