Chapter 44 Accident in Flying Lesson
"Hey, Les, are you okay? Do you need me to share my experience with you?" Unlike Les, Malfoy's broom immediately jumped into his hand at the command. ☟
But there are only a few such obedient brooms. Daphne's broom, like Les's, just rolled on the ground, and some little wizards' brooms didn't move at all.
Although it was not as good as before but more than enough, Les still felt that his blood pressure was gradually rising.
After his body became younger, his emotions were more likely to fluctuate. This was an instinct brought about by a young body. It was troublesome to intervene, and Les did not intend to interfere.
"Get up!" He tried again, but this time the broom still only trembled.
"Is there really a Slytherin who can't even summon a broom? No way? No way!" Malfoy's voice rang in Les's ears.
There was no way, it seemed that even after a thousand years, the quality of the broomstick was still quite worrying, so Rice decided to use his own unique method. As for Draco Malfoy's provocation, Rice turned a deaf ear to him.
A true Slytherin has to be in conflict with a flying broomstick. Children like Daphne Greengrass are the real students who meet Salazar Slytherin's admissions standards.
After seeing that Daphne couldn't control the broomstick, Les felt relieved: This must be a problem with the broom. This broom is shabby and doesn't work at first glance. Hogwarts is so rich now, why doesn't it use more money? Budget to update the brooms used in school flying lessons?
This is where Les thought it over.
Who are on the Hogwarts School Board? As an organization responsible for donating money, most of the members of the school board are from pure-blood families, otherwise it would be difficult to cope with the constant expenses. This also makes the Hogwarts School Board of Trustees have a very high proportion of people from Slytherin House. The School Board of Trustees is generally biased towards Slytherin House.
In their eyes, Slytherin House winning the House Cup and Quidditch Cup is a joy to see. Then it is very necessary to weaken the other three colleges as much as possible. how should I do it? No matter how rich the school directors were, they couldn't hire a few professional golfers to participate in the competition, so they came up with the idea of broomsticks used in the competition.
For most students, a broomstick is a luxury item. Except for the wealthy young man from Snake House, most students borrow brooms provided by the school during competitions, but there is no rule in the school rules not to use your own brooms!
It's like a Muggle racing competition. One group of people uses a mobility scooter worth 100,000 yuan, and another group of people uses a supercar. The person who uses the supercar must have the upper hand. As a result, the free broomsticks provided by Hogwarts have never been updated. They are all old models of Sideswipe and Comet, and the Slytherin Quidditch team uses the best-performing broomsticks.
This is one of the reasons why it is so easy for the Slytherin team to achieve results.
While Rice and the broomsticks were recharging their air, Mrs. Hooch was at the front of the line showing the new students how to mount a broomstick without falling off their heads.
“There are two mainstream ways of riding a broomstick: side straddle and straddle…”
Les eventually gave up the traditional method of awakening the broomstick and switched to his unique secret levitation spell. However, he will soon understand where the flying broomstick has achieved technological breakthroughs in the past thousand years.
The medieval flying broomstick was an ordinary sweeping broom with a levitation charm attached to it, allowing it to fly under the control of a wizard. Broomsticks thousands of years later are very different. They are basically equipped with a spell that can effectively resist magical interference. Ordinary levitation spells cannot interfere with flying broomsticks at all, only powerful black magic can do it.
In other words, Rice's approach wasn't working.
Les:?
His spell failed, and the broom lay motionless on the ground, not even as effective as his verbal command. Malfoy's teasing eyes seemed to turn into reality, scratching back and forth on Les and the broomstick on the ground.
Daphne, who was standing aside, also faced the same dilemma as Les. She was obviously under a lot of pressure because she couldn't wake up the broom. She hesitated again and again and decided to bend down and pick up the broom.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, there was nothing she could do about it. She still had to learn how to ride a broom.
Les snorted, he would never bend down. A little counter-curse to stop me? In his opinion, the curse on the broom has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning. It is commonly known as guarding against gentlemen but not against villains.
He directly increased his efforts, but an accident happened: the school's brooms were in disrepair and were full of antiques. In addition, it was the first time to crack this kind of spell, which caused Les to overestimate the power of the counter-spell attached to the broom. strength.
His enhanced power of the curse washed away the counter-curse barrier like a flood and escaped. More than twenty broomsticks around him were all disturbed by him.
Whoosh whoosh!
Only wizards like Mrs. Hooch, Malfoy and Harry, who had amazing control over brooms or whose brooms were of relatively good quality, held the flying broomsticks in their hands. The rest of the people's brooms all lost control and flew into the sky like rockets.
In just one moment, more than twenty broomsticks flew twenty feet into the sky.
Les:!
He really didn't expect the school's broom to be so fragile, and he broke the spell in one fell swoop. Les reflected for a moment, and if the power of the spell was reduced to one-tenth, there would be a high probability that this would not happen.
(Broomstick: Les Lint was too strong and I couldn’t let him use his full strength in the flying lesson. I felt very sorry for him)
Rice's reflections don't make the broomsticks fall. As the broomsticks went berserk, the whole class fell into chaos, and Mrs. Huo Qi no longer cared about the students. She hurriedly got on the broomstick, rushed into the sky and began to "catch" the escaping broomsticks.
In the chaos, Malfoy noticed Harry, who was holding a broomstick like himself.
Um? Didn't he actually let go? This is incredible, wait a minute... Malfoy had a flash of inspiration, and a bad idea crossed his mind.
"Hey, Pot, do you have the guts to challenge me?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at Harry with a provocative look.
"What do you want to say, Malfoy?" Harry was very disgusted with Malfoy. He had never thought that anyone could disgust him more than Dally, until he met Draco Malfoy.
"How about we compete to see who can grab more brooms?" Malfoy pointed at the broomsticks that were flying into the sky.
"Show some shame!" Ron, who was standing aside, couldn't help it after hearing Malfoy's words. He said angrily: "Comparing your flying ability with someone who has just touched a broomstick for less than five minutes is really ridiculous. 'Okay!"
"Okay, pretend I didn't say that." Malfoy shrugged his shoulders, with an "you're right" look on his face, got on his broom and took off directly.
