Chapter 17: You Say Yes, Don't You? Malfoy?
"Can anyone tell me what's going on here!" Mrs. Hodge looked around the young wizards, then turned her attention to Malfoy and Harry.
Harry and Malfoy's faces turned white with fright, and Ivan answered first.
"Mrs. Hodge, as you can see, they're just practicing their flying skills."
A look of confusion flashed across Malfoy's face, and he opened his mouth to tell him about Ivan's attack on him with the petrification charm, but in the end he closed his mouth and did not refute.
After all, Malfoy understands that if he says it, Ivan will definitely poke out the fact that he snatched Neville's crystal ball and took the initiative to provoke, which of the two punishments is heavier, Malfoy still knows it in his heart.
In order to avoid being hung up and pumped by Filch in the confinement cell, Malfoy reluctantly accepted that he and Harry were "friendly" to practice flying together.
But Malfoy would never allow the obnoxious Ivan to stay out of the way, even if he spoke.
"Yes, but it wasn't just the two of us who flew just now."
As he spoke, Malfoy raised an eyebrow at Ivan, the threat on his face was obvious, and Mrs. Hodge shifted her attention from Malfoy and Harry to Ivan.
"Okay, I'll admit it..."Ivan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, complaining in his heart about the bear-child nature of the Malfora people in the water.
Ivan and Malfoy glanced at each other unhappily, but the two sides still faintly reached an agreement in the intersection of their eyes, and they did not reveal each other... Temporary truce!
Malfoy was frightened by Ivan's punishment, and Ivan feared being drawn to patrol the Forbidden Forest.
With Ivan's current small size, he is not prepared to take this risk...
Harry, who had been listening, had a confused expression, shouldn't Malfoy take Neville's crystal ball and then take it back himself?
When did he become friendly with Ivan and Malfoy to practice flying?
However, given the frequent hints in Ivan's eyes, Harry wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.
"I should have said before I left, no one is allowed to fly broomsticks until I get back!" Hearing that there were three students flying without permission, Mrs. Hodge was angry for a while.
Neville had just been taken to the hospital by her, what if there was another accident?
"I'm sorry, Professor!" Ivan first apologized politely, and then immediately said.
"But I don't think there's any young wizard who can resist the temptation to fly freely on a broomstick, and who wouldn't want to graduate and become a glorious Quidditch player and bring glory to their country?"
"As for Malfoy and Neville, it was just an accident, but luckily our levitation charm worked well and no one was hurt."
Ivan gushed about his love for Quidditch, and almost made it clear that he was going to be a Quidditch champion in the future!
Mrs. Hodge's face looked a little better, and as a professor of flying lessons, Mrs. Hodge was also a fan of flying and Quidditch, so she could understand that desire.
"Even then, you have to pay for breaking the school rules..."
Although not as angry as she had been at first, Mrs. Hodge lowered her face and pondered how to punish the troublemakers, only to be interrupted by Professor McGonagall, who arrived just in time.
"Mrs. Hodge, can you stop for a moment? I might want to borrow Mr. Potter from you. ”
"Of course you can.." Mrs. Hodge was a little surprised, then nodded again.
Mrs. Hodge didn't see Harry's flight just now, and thought that Harry had made some other mistake and was found by Professor McGonagall, so she just briefly told him about Harry's flying lesson riding a broomstick.
Professor McGonagall just nodded, then motioned for Harry to follow her.
Harry's head was a mess, and he still didn't know what was going on, so he could only follow Professor McGonagall away in fear.
Mrs. Hodge watched the two of them leave, and then looked back and remembered that there was someone else to deal with. "Ivan, Malfoy, your actions will deduct five points for your respective academies, and then continue classes!"
Ivan's face turned bitter, he didn't care about being deducted points, just answering questions in class in the past few days, Ivan has won more than ten points for the academy, and no one will blame him if he deducts five points.
But continuing to take flying lessons made Ivan a little painful, and secretly prayed that the lesson would end soon, or wouldn't he just wear a gang?
Ivan had to pretend to hold a broom and make a flying posture, while trying to reduce his presence and quietly fish.
However, it backfired, due to the frequent situations in the previous flying lessons, Mrs. Hodge didn't dare to let these little wizards fly around anymore, and prepared to come one by one, and Ivan, who was cheated by Malfoy, was unfortunately ranked first.
Ivan looked at the flying broom in his hand, couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but regret it, he knew that he would clearly say that his flying skills were terrible.
Now that he was pitted by Malfoy, he wanted to say that he couldn't fly.
Ivan reluctantly tried, and this time the flying broom gave Ivan a little face, and he staggered and flew under the control.
Still, Ivan was very happy to experience flying for the first time, and after a slight acceleration, he felt the cold wind constantly echoing in his ears, and the roof tiles around him flew by one by one, this feeling of freedom and ease was far more wonderful than taking a plane.
After flying for a while, Ivan landed smoothly,
Mrs. Hodge pursed her lips, obviously a little dissatisfied, after all, Ivan's previous performance made Mrs. Hodge have high hopes, how can she fly and stagger...
Ivan had to cough twice, hiding his embarrassment. "Ahem, Professor, I think this broom is probably too old... It's a little unstable when flying... I flew well before. ”
Malfoy grinned, he didn't expect that Ivan's flying skills were so bad, no wonder he had been on the ground before, and he hadn't flown up like Harry.
Unexpectedly, Ivan said suddenly.
"You say yes, right? Malfoy? Otherwise, how could you suddenly fall from under the broom..."
Malfoy, who was snickering, couldn't laugh anymore, so he had to look at Ivan hatefully for a long time before he could hold back a sentence.
"Of course, I also think there may be something wrong with these brooms..."
How else could he say? Punch yourself in the face?
Malfoy said that he was also desperate, in order not to be punished, the truth could not be said, otherwise it could be said that he fell because his skills were too bad?
