Chapter 44 The motivation is unknown, if you meet the strong, you will be strong!
Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had their first flying lessons on Wednesday afternoon.
The flying class took place on a lawn not far from the castle. When the Ravenclaw students arrived, they found that the Hufflepuff students had already arrived.
The little badgers came so early for the first time, and they were more active than Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, but the Ravenclaw students were lazy and uninterested.
The Quidditch team in my own academy counts down every year, so it is normal to not be able to cultivate a team culture and not be able to arouse interest.
The most important thing is that every time the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team slapped the sky loudly, the Kitty Hawks were also very excited, waiting to kick Gryffindor and punch Slytherin Woolen cloth……
The atmosphere is here, but there is no actual action. The record is stable in the top four every year, which will only make people more and more disappointed.
Not only the Ravenclaw students were disappointed, the little badgers were also disappointed after seeing the row of broomsticks in the distance.
They did fantasize that the school might have a Lumino 2000, the newest broomstick for this year.
Even if it is not worthy of such a luxurious broom, Sweeping Seven Stars is not bad. The products launched by Sweeping Broom Company are mainly cost-effective.
Although the configuration of the Sweeping series has never lost, the experience has never won, and occasionally there will be problems with braking, but the parameters are similar to Nimbus 2000 anyway!
No matter how bad it is, we can use the Nimbus 1700, which is a large version behind, and sweep the five stars.
Even more shivering, Comet 290 is also a classic model, which is barely enough.
But they never expected that Hogwarts actually used the Meteor series of broomsticks.
In the Transfiguration class not long ago, everyone just heard Professor McGonagall introduce this antique:
Introduced in 1955, a broomstick has been the cheapest racing broom on the market since its release!
Decades have passed, and if you use it to split a fork and burn a fire, you all dislike the smoke of wood.
The most important thing is that Cosmic Broom Co., Ltd., which produced the "Meteor" broom, went bankrupt as early as 1978, and could not even find a maintainer, let alone replace some old parts.
Is Hogwarts so poor now?
Or, this is the background of the ancient magic school, which is completely different from those upstart schools, and everything has to be "semi-old"?
It's not half-old, it's really an old antique from the garbage dump.
Mrs. Hooch strode forward, with short gray hair and yellow eyes like a hawk's.
Seeing the students muttering, she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "The new broom will come soon, this month...cough cough, let's make it this semester first."
These words are very similar to the promises of those schools: air conditioning will be installed next year!
It's a pity that next year and next year, when you graduate, you may really pretend.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with shooting stars. Although the speed is slower, it's better to be safe." Mrs. Huo Qi said loudly, "Hurry up, hurry up and stand by the broomsticks. If you move fast, you may be able to fly twice today." Ten meters away."
"..."
The little wizards found a pleasing broom and stood aside, with Shirley and Neville on Rove's flanks.
"Put your right hand out over the broom handle," cried Mrs. Hooch, "and then say 'Get up!' emotionally and from the bottom of your heart."
Shouting "get up" doesn't have much meaning, it's just a sense of ritual, just like when you buy a watermelon, you have to pat it first.
Rove's arm was placed above the broom. Thanks to the magic of the Bowtruckle, he had a special affinity for plants, even if it was already made of wood for brooms.
He didn't speak at all, and the broom jumped into his hand eagerly, without the slightest hesitation.
Mrs. Hooch glanced at Rove in surprise.
There were shouts and shouts on the lawn.
Shirley's broom slowly lifted into the air, and finally landed slowly in her hands.
Neville's broom seemed to be broken, it wouldn't move at all on the ground.
Hannah's broom jumped up nimbly, and slammed heavily on the girl's forehead with a bang. Her eyes were dazed, and she reached out to touch her red and swollen forehead, and suddenly squatted on the ground, hugging her head and crying.
McMillan, who claimed to be born on a broomstick, was half dead and trembling on the ground like a loach. When he stepped down, the wood broke in two.
"..."
In this repeated calling, regardless of whether they were summoned or picked up secretly, all the students had brooms in their hands anyway.
Mrs. Hooch explained to them the structure of the broomstick and the posture of riding it. Every student rode on the broomstick.
The earliest flying broomsticks did not have invisible cushions. Playing Quidditch at that time belonged to the Morgan era.
Elio Smeson invented the Cushion Charm, which solved this problem very well, so all brooms have invisible cushions on them, and they are quite comfortable to sit on.
Of course, because the broom has been used for too long, many cushions have been broken, which is a bit slippery.
Mrs. Hooch walked up and down the line, correcting the students' grips.
"Okay, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Hooch said loudly: "Hold the broom firmly, rise a few meters, then lean forward slightly, and fall back vertically." ground.
All are there, listen to my whistle..."
But Neville was too nervous. Before the whistle sounded, he flicked his calf and flew up.
Neville spun wildly in the sky like a cork spewing out of a bottle.
The students in class in the castle couldn't help but watch by the window when they heard the screams.
Mrs. Hooch fully demonstrates the uneven quality of teachers at Hogwarts. She just stood on the ground and shouted: "Come back, child! Come back!!"
Rove suddenly felt that there was another quota for Hermione's complaint letter.
Looking at Neville who was still spinning in the sky, Rove heaved a long sigh. Although Neville has been wanting to be admitted to the school hospital recently, he can't really watch him go in.
But the starting speed of the broomstick in his hand was too slow. If he flew to Neville's side at this speed, he would have fallen down a long time ago, so he had to give him some acceleration!
Rove took out a few seeds from his pocket and threw them on the ground. The seeds quickly took root and germinated, and a few elastic vines grew out, winding into the shape of a giant bow.
Rove used the vines as the bow and the broomstick as the arrow. The young man was silent and controlled the vines, drawing the bow like a full moon.
The broomstick was like an arrow, shooting into the air, roaring like a wind!
The next moment, Rove was also entangled by vines and flung towards the sky. Like an arrow shot from a strong bow, he instantly came to the side of the broomstick, maintaining a relatively static speed with it.
The broomstick lowered slightly, Rove stepped on the wooden pole with both feet, and the vines entangled him and the broom to maintain balance.
One person and one broom rushed towards Neville with great momentum.
The boy stood on the broomstick, the wind was blowing, his sleeves were fluttering, and he was hunting, as if he was flying with a sword.
Neville couldn't hold on anymore, he let go, was thrown by the broomstick, hit the castle wall with his body, and then fell towards the ground.
Neville was far away from Rove's flying direction, so the young man had no choice but to twist his waist and bend his whole body, controlling the broom to make a big arc in mid-air, and leap towards Neville.
At the critical moment, Rove finally arrived, grabbed Neville's ankles suddenly, led him to spin around, and slowly fell towards the ground!
"Look... look..."
Professor Flitwick, who was teaching Gryffindor and Slytherin, shouted loudly: "This is what I mean by abdominal strength... I was so good back then!"
After catching Neville, Rove sat on the broom and landed slowly. When he landed on the second floor, he saw a tabby cat standing by the window with shocked pupils.
Rove flew over and said with a smile: "Professor McGonagall, good afternoon, are you basking in the sun here?"
Professor McGonagall came back to her senses and found that Rove was approaching. She hurriedly jumped down and hurriedly turned back into a witch.
Rove was speechless. He wasn't a cat fanatic, so there was no need to be so vigilant.
Professor McGonagall recalled the exciting scene of Rove rescuing Neville just now, and her face became weird. She suddenly remembered what the captain said to her when she joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team:
No one deserves a center rear drive.
The motivation is unknown, but if you meet the strong, you will be strong!
