Chapter 61 Flying Lessons

Frustrated, Harry greeted Merlin and led Ron to Hagrid's quarters outside the Forbidden Forest. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Mailin didn't follow, he didn't plan to get too involved in the plot, and he didn't have the heart of a full-time savior.

Merlin's goal was to learn magic systematically, and he felt that he should focus on practicing magic and practicing the alchemy that he had newly acquired in his hands. As for Harry, Merlin was going to put himself in the position of a good friend.

He wasn't going to get too involved in the main characters, they were only in their first year to provoke Voldemort, not to mention that there were more and more things waiting for them to do later...... Merlin didn't have much time to waste.

"Well, maybe it's okay to offer some help." Merlin muttered as he made his way in the direction of the library.

―――――――― time passes――――――――

One day, they noticed a notice posted in the Gryffindor common room, and they all sighed when they read it. Flying lessons are going on Thursday - Gryffindor students are going to be in class with Slytherin students.

"It's unfortunate," said Harry, in frustration, "as I expected. Riding a broomstick in front of Malfoy. ”

"It's not certain that you're going to look foreign." Ron said sensibly, "I know Malfoy always brags that he plays Quidditch really well, but I bet he's just talking big." ”

Malfoy spends his days talking about flying. But he wasn't the only one who said that: from the tone of Simofinigan's voice, it seemed that he had spent most of his childhood flying around the wilderness on a broomstick. Even Ron, if anyone wants to, will talk about how he once rode Charlie's broken broom and almost crashed into a hang glider. Everyone from a wizarding family chattered about Quidditch.

Belch...... Except for Merlin.

"What? Broomsticks? ”

Harry asked about Merlin when he was sitting in the common room writing (Ron: I don't know where he got so much stuff to write) and there was a stack of books at least forty centimeters high in front of him, and Merlin was struggling with a piece of paper behind the pile of books.

"Broomsticks, you say?" Merlin was interrupted by Harry's train of thought and simply broke the jar and put down the quill in his hand, "I've never ridden anything like that. ”

"Huh? Haven't you ridden it? Harry was surprised, and didn't seem to expect Merlin to answer - according to his thoughts, it was impossible for Merlin, as a pure-blood wizard, not to have ridden a broomstick. Harry was ready to accept Merlin's boasting, and the result was ......

I'm going to show me this when I'm taking my pants off? (Fog)

Merlin nodded: "yes, I haven't ridden it." I like to read books instead of these things. ”

Seeing this scene, you know that you like to read, Harry sneered.

Suddenly, Harry's excitement was half dispelled by this conversation. Now he was starting to get a little nervous, after all, they had to take classes with the rival house, Slytherin......

Harry didn't want to lose face in front of his opponents, especially Malfoy, whose hatred had recently skyrocketed to his cousin Dudley......

So Malfoy can be a qualified MT, at least he pulls hatred and fights.

Hermione was nervous, too, so she ran around with a copy of Quidditch Origins. It was the first experience, and Neville took every opportunity he could have to help him—he was listening to Hermione quite seriously anyway.

Later at mealtime, Neville receives a magic item called the Memory Ball. It is said that the more important the forgotten thing is, the brighter the ball will be...... So when Merlin saw that the ball in Neville's hand was so bright that it could be used as a torch, the whole person laughed badly.

Neville, have you forgotten who you are?

Malfoy passed by Gryffindor's table, and as long as he wasn't blind, it was impossible not to see the red shiny ball, so Malfoy, who swore to disgust the Gryffindors, directly snatched the ball.

Before Malfoy's mouth could taunt him, the perceptive Professor McGonagall noticed that something was wrong and walked over to ask what was wrong.

Malfoy's face was gloomy, and he dropped the memory orb and quickly left the place. Harry looked very angry—Snape had been embarrassed about him too many times lately.

"Uh, Harry, I don't think you can be so angry." Merlin persuaded.

Harry glared at Merlin, and was about to roar when he was stunned by the next sentence: "I saw Malfoy holding the memory ball when it was red and shiny. ”

The people around reacted instantly, and began to laugh, with Harry and Ron laughing the most exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, Merlin, you're so sharp-eyed!" ”

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and patted Harry on the shoulder, "I know you've had a bad time lately, take it easy." It's time for flying lessons in the afternoon, and you'll love the feeling of flying without restraint. ”

Harry was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry Merlin...... I ......"

"It's alright, friend. Something came to me. ”

Merlin waved his hand and left.

As the Gryffindors waited eagerly, time flew away - and so did the afternoon.

When Merlin and the others got to the meadow where the lesson was preparing, the Slytherins were already waiting there - it looked like they were ready to taunt Gryffindor for coming too slowly. But it's clear that class time hasn't arrived yet, so as long as you don't get late, it's okay. Why did you come so early? Drink the Northwest Wind?

The Slytherins didn't seem to think of this, and Merlin could easily see the look of frustration on their faces.

Their teacher, Mrs. Hodge, came. She has short gray hair and two yellow eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

"Okay, what are you all waiting for?" She snapped, "Everybody stands next to a broomstick. Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

Merlin looked at the broom at his feet, at least much longer than the broom he used at home (in this world) - what? Do you ask Tajo if the world uses a broom? Multi-function vacuum cleaner.

"Stretch out your right hand and put it over the broomstick," called Mrs. Hooch in front, "and say, 'Get up!'"

"Get up!"

Everyone shouted together.

Merlin immediately felt a magical force resonate with the palm of his right hand - the intensity was very low, and the resonant frequency was easy to find. With Mai Lin's subconscious manipulation, that magic wave was connected to him.

The next second, the broom jumped into Merlin's hand.

"Huh." Merlin was surprised, a little broomstick was still so powerful?

Mrs. Hodge then showed them how to mount a broomstick without slipping off their heads. She walked up and down the line, correcting their hand grips.

"All right, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and kick hard." Mrs. Hodge said, "Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, and then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground." Listen to My Whistle: Three, Two......"

"Whoosh!"

Neville was so nervous that he flew out at once. It looks like it's about to fall off the rhythm.

"Come back, kid!" Mrs. Hawkie shouted.

Neville made the most correct action - dropped.

"Oh my God." Merlin raised his forehead, "Feather Fall Technique!" ”

Neville was surprised to find himself floating down from the sky like a feather.
