Chapter 44: Isobel's Anomaly

How to say that?

Mrs. Hodge's way of teaching is truly ...... Unique.

After a moment's thought, Connor realized that all he could find was such words.

The principle of the broomstick is not explained, nor the techniques of flying are explained, but the students are taught how to call the broomstick into their hands.

But that's good, after all, calling a broomstick is never a difficult task, and this effect similar to the 'Flying Charm' is really not technical.

For wizards, it is indeed something that can be done with concentration.

But what happened next was an eye-opener for Connor.

"Next, watching me demonstrate, riding a broom is also a very simple thing."

After the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students managed to get the broom in their hands, Mrs. Hodge rode the old broomstick.

"First of all, clamp your legs, but remember not to hook your legs, and when you clamp them, you will be silently thinking about flying in your heart, and you should imagine as much as possible that you will be out of the ground, as if something is rushing out of your head."

Gradually, Mrs. Hodge's feet gradually lifted off the ground, and she leaned directly on the old broomstick.

Nor did she fly directly into the sky, she just levitated, and after leaving the broom handle with her hands, she showed her posture to the students.

Unlike the way ordinary people see her legs tightly clamped, Mrs. Hodge sat on the broom in the real sense.

At first glance, her body is not in contact with the broom at all.

"It's also easy, and when you can feel an invisible cushion under your ass to hold you, you've done it."

That was the end of her explanation, and the rest was time to practice.

That didn't sound like a problem, but it seemed weird to Connor's ears.

It's like putting an elephant in the refrigerator, and it's really not going into any detail.

Perhaps Madame Hooch was a Quidditch genius herself, and for her, flying was as simple as eating and drinking.

However, after all, not all students are like this.

"What did the prefect say in the morning?"

With their broomsticks between their legs, Justin and Wayne looked like they even wanted to jump on the spot.

But even so, they still couldn't touch the sky that seemed so close at hand.

"I remember what the prefect said, grab the broom and concentrate on transmitting the intention to fly...... As long as you can successfully fly once, the rest is easy. ”

Connor replied.

But in retrospect, Gabriel's morning round of tuition is a bit abstract to be honest.

"I don't think there's any difference between what the prefect said and what Madame Hodge said......"

Ernie couldn't help but whisper.

He didn't fly either, even though the prefect had already tried to make up lessons and explain the key points of flying to these first-year students, but he never succeeded.

A flying lesson lasts about an hour, but Ernie at least doubles his efforts, and the anticipation he has had for the lesson has been worn away by one failure after another.

"It's so uncomfortable, how can I take off......

Immediately afterward, he saw his good roommate next to him suddenly rise into the air, calmly levitating.

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€

Before he could show any surprise, Connor fell to the ground again.

"Actually, it's okay, it's pretty simple, do you remember what we learned in Charms class?"

"You're asking me to cast a levitation charm on a broomstick? But I haven't learned the levitation charm yet. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What kind of brain circuits are you. ”

Immediately stunned by Ernie's answer, Connor only felt a little outrageous.

"I'm just giving you an example, so let's take it as an analogy...... For example, put aside spells and wands and put your mind on the broomstick. ”

"Those thoughts of the Levitation Charm ......"

"I'll try."

Instead of forcing himself to imagine flying, Ernie quickly changed his mind after following Connor's advice.

"Probably ...... Such? ”

Suddenly, his feet were straight off the ground.

"Oooh! I did it! ”

He shouted.

However, before he could express any more excited feelings, he found himself farther and farther away from the ground.

"Wait, how can this stopβ€”"

But it's too late to ask about that.

By the time Ernie's voice echoed, he had risen high into the air, and in a few moments he was taller than the Astronomical Tower at Hogwarts.

Immediately afterward, Mrs. Hodge flew up on her broomstick.

But before that, Ernie couldn't hold on in a hurry, and fell straight off the broom.

"Ahhh!!hhh

"Yugadim Leviosa!!"

In the end, the first accident occurred after a good flying lesson.

And that's just the beginning.

Human beings are born with only one pair of feet and one hand, and even wizards, after learning magic for a few days, they are still based on the existence of the earth.

The skies may not be unfamiliar territory to wizards, but young wizards have clearly not yet learned to fly.

For them, being away from the ground is bound to be quite a difficult thing.

After such a class, accidents occurred frequently, either the legs were numb or the direction of the broom could not be controlled, and there was only one result: falling.

One may be okay, Connor can still catch it, but sometimes there are too many people, and Connor may not be able to react.

Eventually, both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were in the school hospital.

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey had already prepared the corresponding measures, and falling and breaking bones were never a big problem for wizards.

"Isn't this kind of problem every year in flight lessons......

"It's normal to get hurt, and I don't know what you're surprised about."

Following the prestige, Connor met the silver-haired girl of Ravenclaw.

She just folded her arms and leaned against the wall like an adult.

But it's a pity that her height doesn't meet that standard, and she looks a little nondescript.

"In this situation, it can only be said that they don't have that kind of talent, so there is no way to enjoy the fun of flying in the sky immediately."

"Isobel ......"

Looking at the girl, Connor couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"You like to fly?"

"Well, at least now I think it's funny, and I especially like the feeling of the wind blowing on my face."

She grinned over to Connor and patted him on the shoulder.

"I see that you flew very steadily before, do you want to compete with me to see who flies faster?"

This guy ...... Was this kind of personality before?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you sure you're Isobel? ”

"Why, isn't it like?"
