Chapter 29 Flying Lesson I
After a Charms lesson, they went to the auditorium for lunch, and after the last play, their relationship became closer.
Harry and Ron were talking about flying skills as they walked along, and they had their first flying lesson this afternoon.
The last time Seamus said he hadn't ridden a flying broomstick, it was actually true, and while Lupin had taught him a lot during the year, it didn't include flying.
Although he is interested in flying, at Daisy's insistence, they push Seamus to ride a broomstick until now.
The Slytherin side was even more lively than theirs, and Draco kept bragging about it, showing off loudly in front of everyone: "I learned to ride a broomstick when I was eight years old, and once when I was practicing, I saw a Muggle plane, and if I hadn't dodged fast, I would have knocked it down." ”
Seamus had just been eating, and when he heard these words, what he had just eaten almost squirted out of his nose.
The stable flight altitude of the aircraft is in the stratosphere, which will basically remain at about 10,000 meters, not to mention whether the flying broom can fly so high, just according to the temperature. If the temperature on the ground is 20 degrees Celsius, then the temperature at an altitude of 10,000 meters can reach minus tens of degrees Celsius.
Hearing Draco's boasting, Harry and Ron were already upset, but there was nothing they could do.
Needless to say, Harry must not have ridden a flying broomstick, after all, he has lived in the Muggle world since he was a child.
As for Ron, he was also bragging to Harry about the fact that he used to practice broomsticks, using Charlie's old broomstick.
However, he was not imaginative enough to blow flowers like Malfoy, and in the end, it was Draco who had the upper hand in this regard.
Seamus didn't mean to stop them, anyway, when it came to flying lessons, one of the people in this group counted one, and they all had to be pinned to the ground and beaten by Harry.
The first time you make contact with a flying broomstick, you will be able to dive until you get close to the ground, leveling it in an instant. This is the standard Lansky maneuver, and I have never heard of anyone who can use it the first time.
This talent can only be described as terrifying, as for Draco, although he flies well, but when he meets Harry, he can only be overshadowed. After practicing before, I would be hung and beaten by a person who rode a broomstick for the first time, and it can only be said that a normal person met Kaihang.
Sure enough, during the afternoon flight lesson, a capable wizard with silver hair, Mrs. Hooch, was the professor of their flying lesson.
After explaining a lot about the precautions when flying, let each of them take a broom, put it on their right side, hang their palms over the broom, and give a loud command to the broom. ”
Most of the dozens of young wizards present did not perform as well as they boasted in the auditorium, and only a few of them made the broomstick jump into their hands at the first time.
Seamus's broom hesitated, didn't jump out at the first time, and after struggling for a long time, he still managed to get the broom.
But Hermione was different, the broom beside her, as if she hadn't heard any sound the whole time, didn't move, stopped there, not even a symbolic roll.
Hermione was a little angry, and at one moment she said that the broom was broken, and then she said that she must have done something wrong.
Ron was the most miserable one, probably because he was too nervous, he had already practiced, and loudly ordered the broom to get up, but unfortunately it was probably too loud, and the broom hit him directly on the forehead.
Draco, who had been boasting before, did not perform badly, and got the broomstick as soon as possible.
After a period of practice, everyone basically got their hands on broomsticks, and the people who picked them up first were all those who had used broomsticks before, except for Harry.
The rest, it was Seamus who rubbed like this for a while, and there were people like Ron who were a little too nervous, and anyway, after a little late, they also got the broomstick.
In the end, there are people like Hermione and Neville, who don't have any flying talent at all, and can only pick up the broom with their hands in the end, otherwise the class will not be able to continue.
Mrs. Hodge saw that everyone had their broomsticks and began the next stage of the demonstration.
"Get up," Mrs. Hodge said casually, and the broom jumped into Jump's hand.
She walked in front, ready to demonstrate the correct flying posture, "Show me all here, I'll only demonstrate once." ”
During the demonstration, everyone watched intently, except for Malfoy, who was still trying to brag about his flying skills to others.
"As soon as I blow the whistle, you kick the ground hard, remember to hold on to your broomstick, and try to fly a few feet high. ”
Lady Hodge commanded the crowd loudly, and Seamus mounted his broomstick, intending to experience the feeling of the first flight like everyone else.
However, before Lady Hooch could blow the whistle, a loud scream was heard from the side, and Neville flew high into the air with a "whoosh", making a huge scream in mid-air, surpassing the secondary tower of Hogwarts Castle in an instant.
Before Mrs. Hodge could react, Neville accidentally failed to grab the broomstick and fell from the sky, dancing his teeth and claws in the air.
All the little wizards on the ground were screaming and messing around, for fear of seeing something terrible.
Only Seamus knew Neville would fall from the sky, so he drew his wand early.
"Yuga Dim Leviosa" made a beautiful levitation spell that stopped Neville in mid-air, and everyone present was very surprised.
Mrs. Hodge breathed a sigh of relief after PUBG, and said loudly with emotion: "Beautiful Levitation Charm, at this age, you are the best little wizard I have ever seen, Gryffindor plus 10 points." ”
Mrs. Hodge did not hesitate to give a very high evaluation, and everyone applauded, admiring Seamus's reaction just now.
Seamus controlled Neville floating in mid-air and slowly placed him on the grass, and Neville didn't move from the moment he stopped in mid-air. Until now, I am down-to-earth, like a sigh of relief, paralyzed, as if all my strength has been drained.
"You stay here, and even though the kid isn't hurt, he's going to have to go to the school hospital to see him. Mrs. Hodge conjured up a deck and placed Neville on it, "If any of you dare to fly, I'll fire him when he returns." ”
Of course, this statement is just an intimidation, because expelling a student is not so simple.
