Chapter 16 Flying Lessons
Ever since he did a roller coaster for the first time when he was a child before his rebirth, his cousin forced himself to carry himself back to his family in the car, Zhang Feng knew that he had a serious fear of heights. Since then, even though the city where he works is thousands of kilometers away from his hometown, even if it is difficult to find a train ticket for the Spring Festival every year, Zhang Feng has never taken a plane home.
When a bulletin board in the Ravenclaw break room said that all freshmen were going to take flying lessons together starting Thursday, Zhang Feng seemed to see the grasslands of South America — alpacas running wild everywhere.
"Brother (Feng), what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your face?" As the other two members of the Xueba trio, Zhang Qiu and Hermione also saw that Zhang Feng was wrong, and asked together.
"Nothing, maybe because I didn't eat breakfast in the morning. I was a little tired and went to the library first. After saying some upside-down words, Zhang Feng rushed out of the lounge as if he were fleeing.
Zhang Qiu and Hermione glanced at each other, very puzzled by Zhang Feng's performance, and at the same time they had a little regret. Zhang Qiu and Hermione also saw the news just now, and the two of them were also very nervous, and they originally wanted to find Zhang Feng to find a way.
At this time, Zhang Feng was looking through various books about broomsticks and Quidditch in the library, trying to gain flight-related knowledge through books.
Zhang Feng really doesn't know if he still has a fear of heights after being reborn.
When my father took Zhang Feng to the UK, in order to enjoy the scenery along the way, they took a train all the way from China to the UK, and of course took a ship when crossing the English Channel, so Zhang Feng has never taken a plane since he was a child. As for thrilling rides such as roller coasters, Zhang Feng has never touched them since he was a child. For a 100-meter-tall building, apart from standing in an unprotected open-air environment, even the most serious people with fear of heights are fine!
Zhang Feng's aimless flipping through the library attracted the attention of Zhang Qiu and Hermione, who had just come to the library.
You must know that Zhang Feng usually has a fan of the world's situation, but today's Zhang Feng makes them feel Zhang Feng's "popularity". Looking at the title of the book in front of Zhang Feng, Zhang Qiu and Hermione glanced at each other, forced a smile, and sat next to Zhang Feng, Zhang Qiu and Hermione felt that they were not so nervous.
In the silent prayers of Zhang Feng, and in the boasting of the children of other pure-blood families, Thursday finally arrived.
At breakfast, Zhang Feng kept silently carrying the various precautions for riding with a flying broomstick, just like ordinary people before taking the driver's license test, so that Neville didn't even notice the fact that Neville received the memory ball from his grandmother, Zhang Qiu and Hermione looked at Zhang Feng and looked funny, for a period of time, Zhang Feng was the object of ridicule between the two of them, and completely lost his previous aura.
After breakfast, all the freshmen came to the lawn outside the castle. Mrs. Huo Qi, the professor of the flying class, was already standing on the lawn waiting for everyone's arrival, with her as the center, the flying broomsticks were neatly arranged in an arc.
"Stand next to the broomsticks!" said Lady Hooch to them.
When everyone was in place, Mrs. Hooch asked them to put their hands on top of the broomsticks and shout at them, "Get up!"
Harry, Zhang, and Malfoy's broomsticks flew up from the ground and rushed into their hands almost as soon as they uttered the first syllable. The other people's brooms either didn't respond, or they lazily rolled over and fell again.
Zhang Feng's broom reaction was the most peculiar, and when he shouted "get up", his broom stood up as if a rocket was about to be launched.
"When you can get the broom up from the ground, you can straddle it. Mrs. Hodge then gave another instruction to everyone.
"Mrs. Huoqi, I can't seem to ride a broom like this!" Zhang Feng raised his hand at this time, and helplessly signaled to Mrs. Huoqi the upright broom next to him, this broom may be due to Zhang Feng's excitement at this time, and he kept circling around Zhang Feng quickly.
"Hahahaha!" everyone burst out laughing, this may be the most embarrassing time since Zhang Feng entered the school.
Mrs. Huo Qi didn't have any good way, so she had to let Zhang Feng wait first.
When everyone else got on their broomsticks, only Zhang Feng was still standing next to them, his broomsticks making him spin at a constant speed. He looked at his broomstick, and had to hold on to the handle of his broom, and put his feet on the pedals, as if he were holding a tree and trying to climb up.
"Except for Zhang Feng, if you want to fly, you have to kick your feet down on the ground at this time, and then you can fly. Mrs. Hodge explained to the freshmen the essentials of flying below.
At this point, Neville was probably too nervous, and sat on the broomstick and kicked down to the ground according to Mrs. Hooch's instructions, rushing to the height of three stories in an instant. But he hadn't learned how to control the broomstick in the air, and seeing him shaky, everyone raised their hearts to their throats.
