Chapter 12 Flying Lessons

However, Hermione's introduction was soon interrupted by the owl, because one of her only two listeners, Neville, received a package containing a "memory ball" sent by his grandmother, according to Neville, if the owner forgot something, the smoke inside the memory ball would turn red, only to turn red as soon as he finished speaking.

But in Darren's experience, it's not the hardest thing to know if you've forgotten things, the hardest thing is, "I forgot what I forgot!" Neville clutched his forehead in pain as he looked at the red ball of memory.

In this regard, Darren can only return the sympathetic gaze, which no one can help him, maybe some spells similar to the Dementor can be useful, but obviously no one at this table will.

Even so, this memory ball is also very magical, because in fact, strictly speaking, people are forgetting all the time, no one can remember everything they have experienced, only the information that enters the brain's long-term memory system will be recorded and become a memory, how does the memory ball distinguish and recognize memories?

After waiting for most of the day, at half past three in the afternoon, the Gryffindor students left the castle and went to the grounds in front of the door to prepare for their first flying lesson at Hogwarts.

The instructor of the flying lesson was Mrs. Hodge, who had short gray hair and looked very energetic, but the most impressive thing about her eyes, which were yellow, like the eyes of an eagle, gave people a sharp feeling.

After greeting each of the freshmen, Mrs. Hooch asked each of the freshmen to stand to the left of a broomstick, put their right hand on top of the broom, and say "Get up."

As a result, Harry only said a word, and his broom immediately flew into his hand, to the surprise of Hermione next to her, because she had always been an excellent student, but this time she was behind, and closely behind Harry was Malfoy, and even Ron's broom flew up, but it didn't fly into his hand, but slapped him in the face.

And Darren was in a similar situation, the broomsticks were rolling around on the ground, but they didn't fly into their hands, of course, they weren't the worst, because Neville's broom next to him didn't move at all.

After a while, when most people were able to lift the broom from the ground, Mrs. Hodge moved on to the next stage, how to ride the broomstick.

"When you have caught the broomstick, ride on it, and hold on tightly, so that you don't slip off from behind......"

Listening to Mrs. Hodge's words, Darren felt terrified, and he could still slide down from behind on a broomstick, so if he said it, this broom doesn't have an automatic stabilization function?

Lady Hodge didn't care at all, and continued, "As soon as I whistle, you jump upwards as hard as you can, try to keep the broom steady, fly in the air for a while, and then lean forward slightly, and fly gently back to the ground. After saying that, Mrs. Hodge put the whistle hanging on her chest into her mouth, "Listen to my whistle, three-two-drop!"

As the whistle sounded, when the others were still hesitating, the first one to leave the ground turned out to be Neville, he jumped hard, and immediately staggered into the air, and then the attention of the others was focused on him, and they all stopped their movements, and looked at the first "flying man", intending to learn how to fly from him.

It's a pity that Neville obviously didn't really master the art of flying, he just used too much force, and after floating in the air for a few minutes, he finally lost control completely, no matter how Mrs. Hodge shouted "come down", he flew higher and higher, and his flight speed became faster and faster, and he also played tricks in the sky, rolling, handstands, and all kinds of thrilling actions one after another, so that the students below watched in amazement.

In the end, he slammed directly into the Hogwarts castle, but it seemed that the walls were shielded, and Neville was only bounced away from the hard walls, but the impact also caused him to lose his way further, and he swooped down on the grass, and in a burst of exclamation, he swept past a large group of students against the turf, and walked away.

Eventually, Neville was caught in his robe by the spear in the sculpture's hand and picked off the broomstick, but before anyone else could figure out a way to get him off it, the chubby Neville fell to the lawn with a thud after the robe was torn, finally ending his day's flight.

After this thrilling, Dalí confirmed that the broomstick did not have an automatic stabilization function, as can be seen from Neville's trick flight......

In addition, the security work of Hogwarts school is too bad, not only the Potions class, this flying class is also poor, there are almost no safety measures at all, such as tethers, safety nets, protective charms, nothing, it is completely laissez-faire, fortunately Neville was lucky just now, he was only stabbed in the robe with a spear, otherwise, according to his speed at the time, even if it was only a little crooked, I am afraid that he would have to experience Madam Pomfrey's life-saving skills, not just spraining his wrist.

In addition, Hogwarts School doesn't need to be so streamlined, there is only one professor in each class, a little bit of a situation, after the professor leaves, this group of bear children will not chase ducks, although they don't have Tsubaki's ability to destroy the world, but there is absolutely no problem with tossing something.

No, just as Mrs. Hooch sent Neville to the infirmary, Malfoy and Harry successfully staged a battle in the air, holding Neville's memory ball on the ground for a friendly match, which naturally ended with Harry's victory.

However, looking at Harry's smooth movements in the air, as if he was born to know what to do, he leaned forward and grabbed the broom tightly with both hands, so the broom shot forward like a javelin, all the movements were like a cloud of water, rising, descending, diving, and accelerating, Dali had to admit that Harry's flying skills were really innate.

Of course, Malfoy was also very good, but considering that he had been exposed to broomsticks, he was still a little worse than Harry.

When Harry returned to the ground, the Gryffindor students gathered around him, cheering on the success he had just managed to dive into the air to retrieve Neville's orb of memory, until Professor McGonagall showed up and took Harry away.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Harry had also earned himself the title of Hogwarts' youngest Quidditch Seeker.

"I said he'd get in trouble," Hermione said with a frown as she looked at Malfoy's triumphant smile, turning her head to look at Harry's back as she followed Professor McGonagall away.

"Rest assured, as I said, this is a different world. Darren stood behind her, looking at Harry as well, and whispered.
