Chapter 043: Flying Lesson Accident
"Well, quiet. www.biquge.info"Mrs. Hutch, a female professor with short gray hair, was a little surprised to see Edward standing on the sidelines, and asked, "Professor Edward, are you here to audit my class?"
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Hooch, auditing is only a goal, but more importantly, I need to protect the students from injury during the flight. "After all, these are freshmen, and I'm the guardian of Hogwarts." ”
"Well, now I understand the meaning of the Guardian position. Mrs. Hooch said, "With you, perhaps I will feel more at ease." ”
"You can go to class and leave me alone, and the safety of the students will be left to me. Edward said confidently.
Mrs. Hooch nodded and began her lesson.
"Welcome to the first flying lesson, what are you still standing there mushrooms? Now immediately stand to the left of your broomstick, and then hold out your right hand and say, 'Come up.'" ”
When the freshmen heard this, they began to try, and Lady Hutch came to Edward's side, looked at the freshmen, and said to Edward, "This is a test of the freshmen's flying talent, and anyone who can communicate well with a broomstick can become a good Quidditch player." Won't Professor Edward try it?"
"No, I can't do any magic just yet. Edward smiled and said, "What is Quidditch?"
"You don't know about Quidditch matches?" Lady Hooch looked at Edward with the eyes of an alien.
"Haven't you heard of it, it's a wizarding game? You know I've been living in the Muggle world before. ”
"It's no wonder, then, that Quidditch is the most popular sport in wizarding worlds, a ball game of broomsticks. Soon after, the house will have a Quidditch tournament, which you can check out when the time comes. Mrs. Hutch explained, "Oh, it seems that Harry has a great talent for flying. ”
Among the freshmen, Harry was the first to make the broom fly in his hand, while Hermione, who was known as a genius, could only make the broom move slightly on the ground. Ron also had no talent for it, and his broom even knocked right on his head.
Edward couldn't help but laugh, causing Hermione and Ron to roll their eyes in annoyance.
"Well, don't be discouraged, everyone can't be proficient in all magic, they will all have their own areas of expertise. Madame Hutch encouraged, and then continued, "Now, get on your broomsticks and hold on tightly, lest you slip off the back." ”
"As soon as I blow the whistle, you jump up as hard as you can, try to keep the broom steady, fly in the air for a while, then lean forward a little and gently return to the ground. ”
When she had finished speaking, Mrs. Hooch blew the long whistle she hung on her chest.
Before the freshmen could begin to try, the little fat Neville's broom flew first, and instead of flying steadily at a low altitude, as Mrs. Hooch had said, he flew as fast as he could.
"What are you doing, Mr. Longbottom, get me down!" cried out Mrs. Hudge, panicking.
"I think there's something wrong with his broom. Edward, who had been smiling at the class, placed Starlight on the ground and came to Mrs. Hooch's side with a solemn face, "Look at Neville's expression, he can't control his broom at all. ”
"I told me repeatedly before class to take good care of my broom, how can I still ......," said Mrs. Hutch with chagrin.
"I'll take care of the rest. Edward kept an eye on the flying Neville, and as his broom hit the wall a few times and swooped down on the freshmen, Edward ran after him.
Then Edward jumped lightly, grabbed Neville's wizarding robes in one hand, and lifted him off the flying broomstick.
"It's okay, Neville. Edward placed the terrified Neville on the ground, and the latter sat down in fright and could not speak.
"Thank you, Professor Edward. Mrs. Hutch was also frightened, and she could not escape the blame for the injury that had occurred in the first lesson.
"You're welcome, just a little bruise. Edward said sternly, "Stand up, Neville, a man must be a man." ”
"Yes, yes, Professor Edward. Caught by Edward's breath, Neville habitually stood up, but still had a frightened expression on his face.
"Leave this kid to me, I'll take him to the infirmary, I think he's frightened and needs a break. Mrs. Hooch held Nawei and said, "Professor Edward, please help me take a look here." ”
"No problem. Edward nodded.
............
After Mrs. Hutch left, the freshmen surrounded Edward and applauded.
"Oh, Edward, you were so handsome just now. With such a fast flight speed, you were able to accurately catch Neville. "Ron has now become a complete embracer of Edward, following Edward's example and jumping and grabbing.
"With you protecting us, we're not afraid of anything anymore. Harry smiled, feeling a sense of security for no reason when he was with Edward, and he completely forgot the pressure that had been hanging over him.
"Okay, stop flattering me, it's my duty. Edward clapped his hands and said, "Now, let's move on to the rest of the lesson, you can surround me, do as Madame Hutch says, and if anyone gets out of control, speak out in time, and I will stabilize you before you can fly high." ”
The freshmen applauded, flying is something that everyone is passionate about, and these freshmen are no exception, and it is their expectation to learn to fly as soon as possible.
Subsequently, a group of freshmen surrounded Edward and began to experiment with low-altitude levitation.
Harry was the first freshman to be able to fly steadily, while Malfoy was the second. When the freshmen were flying, only Hermione was still standing on the ground, unable to get the broomstick to fly.
This is a very huge blow to Hermione, who claims to be a genius girl. The girl's face was full of shame and unwillingness, and she did not even dare to look at her classmates, afraid to see a mocking look on their faces.
"Don't give up. Edward walked up to Hermione and said, "I don't know how to control a broomstick, but in my experience, you need to think of your broom as a friend, not a tool. ”
"Friend?" Hermione wondered, crying.
"That's right, it's a good friend, so that your broom will identify and cooperate with you. Edward waved his star and said, "He's my friend." ”
Hermione realized something, closed her eyes and adjusted her mentality, and sure enough, she flew slowly.
"Look, isn't that simple for our genius girl?" said Edward.
"Thank you for the experience, Edward. Hermione blushed.
Just then, there was an exclamation from among the freshmen, and Draco the Thorn argued with Harry and threw a glass ball far away.
Immediately afterward, Harry flew out in a rage, as if trying to catch the orb.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Edward asked, glancing at Harry, who was flying fast but very steady, relieved himself and with a straight face.
"Professor Edward, I just threw a piece of trash out of the flying field. Malfoy looked at Edward a little timidly, "You know, this is the professor's grounds, and it's easy to trip over garbage here." ”
"He's lying! That's Neville's memory ball. Ron said angrily.
"Okay, I think I understand what's going on. Edward looked at the thorn and said with a little headache.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable with this Malfoy, but the other party was just a child after all, it was actually normal to have this kind of comparison and bullying each other, and what Edward wanted to do was to guide this child with a little flaw in character in the right direction.
What's more, this Draco Malfoy is also very talented, and he is relatively well-rounded in all aspects, and he is a talent that can be created.
"Mr. Malfoy, I think you'll need my special attention in the future. Edward stared into Draco's eyes and said, "Your character will make your future full of thorns, and I have an obligation to correct it." ”
"What do you want to do? Professor Edward, you see, my father is a Hogwarts trustee. Malfoy threatened.
"yes? I don't think even the school board members can interfere with my class, right?" said Edward, laughing completely nonchalantly.
Edward saw Harry successfully catch the orb and fly back, he turned to Draco and said, "Mr. Malfoy, I think you need to apologize to Neville and Harry. ”
"I don't apologize to a half-breed guy. Draco said angrily.
"Half-blood?" Edward was stunned, and suddenly understood the origin of Draco's character.
He had learned about a number of families in the wizarding world, among which Draco's Malfoy family was an ancient pure-blood wizarding family, and a Muggle-hating family. As the only child of the Malfoy family, it was not surprising that he had a tendency to despise half-bloods and Muggles.
It is not an easy thing to change the habits and personality that a person has developed since childhood.
"What are you doing? Harry Potter, Professor Edward, come with me. Professor McGonagall arrived at the flying lesson grounds, and she beckoned to Harry and Edward.
............
Edward and Harry followed Professor McGonagall to the outside of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, and then Professor McGonagall handed over an older student from the classroom and said in an uplifting tone, "This is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Oliver Wood." Wood, I've found you a great Seeker. Well...... Comes with a passable rescuer. ”
