Chapter 28: The Internal Structure of a Broom
Wizards were very old-fashioned, and compared to the rapid changes in the Muggle world, they often gave Louie the impression that he was not up to date.
For example, the broomsticks that wizards ride, Louis looks at them and has a kind of sorrow.
However, Galen, who was riding a broomstick for the first time, had a good time, and he saw Louis walking into the Quidditch pitch from a distance, slowly maneuvering the broomstick to fly, and greeted:
"Hi, Louie! You're finally here! ”
"Uh-huh."
Louie laughed, "Looks like you're having a great time." ”
"That's right!"
Galen nodded happily and said, "I've been looking forward to flying lessons at Hogwarts for a long time, but I didn't expect George and Fred's brother to let me experience what flying feels like in advance, it's great!" ”
"Do you think it's hard to fly on a broomstick?" Louis asked curiously.
"Sort of..."
Galen subconsciously wanted to scratch the back of his head, and...
"Bang!"
Unable to keep his balance, he suddenly fell off his broomstick.
Thankfully, the Quidditch pitch was surrounded by soft grass and a relatively softer sand in the center, and Galen, who was riding away for the first time, didn't fly high, so he wasn't hurt because of his rough skin.
And when Galen was casually patting the dust on his body, the two brothers, George and Fred, who were originally flying around the court, flew not far in front of Louis at a speed of 15 miles, and said with a smile:
"Hey Louie, would you like to try what it's like to fly?"
"Charlie has prepared a broom for each of us, George and I will go to Charlie now and let him teach you how to fly on a broomstick!"
Having no objection to the twins' proposal, Louis smiled and nodded, and then saw the two fly to the center of the Quidditch pitch and call Charlie, who was practicing the tactics of the game with his teammates.
As the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Charlie's flying skills are clearly good.
The broom he rode was obviously much more advanced than that of George and Fred, and after flying to Louis at great speed, he smiled at Louis with a gorgeous fluttering tail:
"Louie, long time no see, how do you feel at Hogwarts?"
"Very good, Charlie."
The relationship with the Weasley family is very good, and Louis smiled familiarly: "I heard George and Fred say that you specially prepared brooms for us, which is really troublesome for you." ”
"No trouble!"
Charlie glanced behind him with his peripheral vision, looked at George with a helpless expression, and Fred rode a broom to play in mid-air, and said with a headache:
"I just hope George, those two fools of Fred don't cause you trouble!"
So saying, Charlie instructed George to go and fetch the broom that had been prepared for Louis, and patiently explained to him:
"Louie, you should be flying on a broomstick for the first time, remember not to be afraid, I will watch you from the side, you will not be in any danger."
"You just need to ride a broom like me, and push your legs slowly and hard, and you can easily ride a broom and fly into the sky."
"After flying, you need to hold your broom tightly, the broom will rise if you lean back slightly, and the broom will go down if you lean forward slightly, and you need to use your hands to adjust the direction of the broom's flight, you know what I mean?"
Sounds a bit like a joystick-operated flight game?
Louis nodded earnestly, reached out and touched the rod of the broom, feeling that it was a little smooth and not soft.
Then, when Louie rode on a broom and began to fly at a low altitude under the guidance of Charlie, he tried to analyze the overall structure of the broom with his magic...
Shocked!
Although Charlie is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, the broom he can prepare for Louis and the others cannot be high-end goods, and it looks like a sweep series that has long been eliminated.
However, when Louie used his magic to analyze the internal structure of the broom, he was amazed at the many wonderful magic spells that had been permanently attached to the seemingly ordinary broom.
For example, the "Cushion Charm" is used to improve the overall comfort of the broomstick and prevent male wizards from the sadness of riding on it.
Another example is the "acceleration charm", which is like the throttle of each broomstick, which is used to accelerate flight, so that wizards use the amount of magic output to determine the depth of the accelerator.
In the end, Louis concluded that the true mystery of each broomstick is actually hidden in the permanent spells stored inside it.
Those enduring spells are like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that make up the inner workings of each broomstick.
The appearance of the broom, on the contrary, is secondary.
Just like using the interior parts of a van, a modified Lamborghini can also drive, but it is not at all comparable to a real sports car in terms of performance.
In Louie's opinion, as long as he can master the internal structure of the broomstick, he can change the appearance of the broom at will, and turn it into a flying sword, missile, Hot Wheel, etc.
So, when Charlie was sure that Louie had basically mastered how to fly on a broomstick, he greeted him and continued to practice the game tactics with the team. And Louie, who was slowly flying around the court, was not as addicted to flying as the twins and Galen, and couldn't extricate himself, but carefully analyzed the internal structure of the broomstick.
"Hmm... The principle of permanence of the cushion mantra is not very difficult, maybe when the holidays come, I can try to modify the car at home so that everyone can sit more comfortably. ”
"Huh? Permanence principles such as acceleration spells and direction spells have been encrypted? Maybe this kind of encryption spell is what wizards use to protect their property rights! It's not hard to crack, it's like a combination lock for a safe, I just need to manipulate the magic first like this, then like this, and then like this..."
“OK! Puzzle successful! ”
"Not bad... This speed up spell is very useful, so you can dig deeper into its mysteries and use it in conjunction with my Sky Dance to speed up my flight speed when using Sky Dance. ”
Briefly analyzing the internal structure of this sweeping broom, Louis can be said to have benefited a lot in the analysis process.
If possible, Louis really wanted to order a new broom from the Halo series and pondered the difference between the new broom and the old one.
Pity...
Alas!
I don't have the ability to make money!
Nowadays, a broom of the light wheel series costs 50 gold galleons at least, and Louie is not like the "horse manure" in the HP movie, from a pure-blood family with mines, and it is completely a luxury to buy a broom analysis study of the light wheel series.
As for the way to earn gold Galleons through regular channels...
Louie did.
However, just as Louis was seriously pondering whether the way to "moderate prosperity" was feasible, a quarrel from inside the Quidditch pitch suddenly caught his attention.
Soon, I saw that the person arguing with Charlie, the twins and others was the Slytherin Quidditch team members who preferred the prairie color, and the young man with buckteeth in the lead of them was actually holding a broom from the Halo series...
Louis couldn't help but think happily:
"I've got a broom!"
