Hope looked at the dilapidated broomstick in his hand. It was from many years ago. There were not many hairs on the broom head. He doubted the safety of the broom.
If he had known he would have bought a Nimbus 1700 when he was in Diagon Alley, but it seems that first-year students are not allowed to bring broomsticks.
However, being able to fly into the sky is still very attractive to the little wizards. Mateo in the dormitory is a pure-blood, and he often rides a broomstick at home. Moreover, Nimbus Company has thoughtfully launched a children's toy version of the broomstick, which is cheap. It is loved by children, but it doesn't fly high or fast.
Caleb was born as a Muggle and had never flown on an airplane, let alone flying. As for Hope, he was a dabbler. He had never ridden a broomstick, but he had ridden a Hippogriff when he was at his grandfather's house.
At this time, Mateo was explaining to Caleb the precautions for various flying broomsticks in a thoughtful and somewhat showy manner. Hope didn't listen. His current idea was to just do it!
Mateo didn't go out of his way to tell Hope because he wasn't sure of Hope's identity. When Hope introduced himself at the time, he used the trick his parents used to fool him. His father was the deputy chief of the police and his mother was a government official. researcher.
Although Mateo doesn't quite understand this, judging from Caleb's reaction, these professions should have a high status in the Muggle world.
However, after getting along for a period of time, he discovered a problem. Some common sense in the magic world was unknown to Hope, but some things were very clear to Hope, especially some strange knowledge that even a native of his country didn't know. .
Moreover, Hope's outfit looks ordinary, but Mateo's family makes wands, and he is familiar with most of the magic materials. The material of the clothes feels like silk produced by a magical animal. The same, natural material that is impervious to water and fire.
Moreover, the wand used by Hope looked like the one his grandfather had that hadn't been sold for hundreds of years, but he didn't dare to tell until he got it in his hands. If his grandfather hadn't sold it yet, If so, when he inherits the wand shop a few years after graduation, it will be in his hands.
Mateo, who is familiar with the mystery writer's series of books, believes that there is only one truth, that Hope is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
If Hope knew about Mateo's speculation, he would definitely say that it was all his parents' fault.
His original wizard robe was ordered from Madam Malkin's robe store, but his grandfather saw that Madam Malkin's robes were made of poor material, so he asked his family's tailor shop to sew a few sets for him. The ones he ordered were thrown away. Went aside.
After everyone got their broomsticks and lined up, Professor Huo Qi came to the little wizard with his broomstick and stood in front of him. He put the broomstick at his feet and said sternly: "Now everyone put the broomstick down like me. At your feet."
The little wizards put their broomsticks away obediently.
Professor Huo Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now open your hand and put it on top of the broom."
"stand up!"
The broomstick flew into Professor Huo Qi's hands obediently.
"Demonstration completed, let's begin."
Hearing this, everyone obediently followed Professor Huo Qi and started to call for their broomsticks. Many people let the broomsticks fly into their hands at once. Some like Caleb also successfully let the broomsticks fly after trying several times. Fly into your own hands.
Things are a bit less than ideal for Hope, whose broomstick is like a child going to the supermarket with his mother and rolling all over the floor because her mother didn't buy him the snacks he wanted.
No, bro, if we have something to say, okay? You can get it into my hands first.
Hope frowned and thought, doesn't he have the talent to fly?
Seeing the friends around him happily stroking their broomsticks, it was almost embarrassing. Suddenly, Hope had an idea and quietly put his hand on the wand and whispered: "Here comes the broomstick!"
With a whoosh, the broomstick flew into Hope's little hand, and it hit his little hand painfully. The little wizards around him heard the sound and looked over curiously, but in order not to be discovered, he still held on and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Professor Huo Qi is indeed an old professor. Those young wizards who have not yet summoned the broomstick are the objects of her attention, and Hope is one of them.
"It's a very beautiful summoning spell, but I'm not a magic professor so I can't give you extra points." Professor Huo Qi walked to Hope and took the broomstick while inspecting it and said: "But since you are better than the one who used his feet a few years ago, If you hook it up, be smart and I won’t deduct points from you this time.”
Hope blushed and scratched her head.
After Professor Huo Qi finished the inspection, he put away the broomstick and said, "This one is broken." Then he checked the brooms in the hands of several other little wizards who did not let the broomsticks fly, and put the broken ones together. Then he said: "I'll go to the warehouse to find a spare broom. You guys should take it with you!"
How could it be possible to stay honest? After the professor left, the brave ones flew around on their broomsticks. Some people from Muggle families who had never been exposed to broomsticks couldn't help but fly around.
Hope watched Caleb flying swaying under Mateo's guidance, feeling envious in his heart that he was so unlucky to find a broken broomstick.
While Hope was looking at the classmates flying around in the sky, Mateo came up and asked, "Do you want one of mine?"
Hope looked at him excitedly and said happily: "Is it true?"
"Of course." Mateo handed the broom to Hope and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"
Hope shook his head. Seeing this, Mateo explained: "It's very simple. Sit on the middle and back end of the broom. There is a cushion charm there. Hold the middle and front end with both hands and push your legs on the ground. Lifting up means flying up, and going down. Pressing forward means flying downward, turning left means turning left, turning right means turning right. Pressing forward means accelerating, and standing up means braking."
Under Mateo's guidance, Hope successfully flew into the air. This kind of free, ethereal, and unparalleled floating was unmatched by riding a Hippogriff.
Hope kept pressing forward, and the speed of the broom became faster and faster.
Mateo reminded loudly from below: "Don't fly too fast, it's dangerous!"
At this time, Hope heard this. After becoming more familiar with flying skills, looking at Slytherin Yulin and the others who were fighting in mid-air not far away, Hope flew over in a swish.
Last time you asked me to compete with the lighting spell, now we compete with each other, and the main focus is fairness.
After walking around Yulin for a few times, Yulin, who was not provoked, immediately followed her.
He can't escape her pursuit, and he can't fly without wings. It's very difficult for a rookie like Hope who is new to flying broomsticks to deal with a master like Yulin who looks like a veteran at first sight.
Moreover, Yulin's group of supporters spontaneously blocked Hope's flight path. How could he surrender obediently? He immediately pulled up the broom and flew high into the sky.
Not to be outdone, Yulin immediately followed. Just as she was about to touch Hope, something went wrong with the cheating broom, and Yulin's broom began to shake violently.
"Ah!!!" Yulin fell off the broom with a piercing scream.
Hearing the sound and seeing Yulin falling, Hope immediately leaned over and chased after him without thinking. A fall from this height would be serious.
Seeing that it was almost too late, Hope immediately took out his wand, stood on the broom, kicked on it, and sped forward.
Just grab Yulin and avoid injury with his special landing skills.
Grabbing Yulin's little hand, Hope raised his wand and shouted: "Yu..."
