Chapter 21 A small episode in the flying class

The flying lesson takes place on the lawn in front of the Hogwarts gate.

On the way to class, Bernard looked at Adam, who was so calm that he was incompatible with the warm atmosphere around him, with a strange expression on his face:

"You don't seem to be very interested in flying lessons?"

Adam always made him feel like a fake little wizard from a Muggle family. He was curious about everything in the magical world, but Adam seemed to have a commonplace indifference to many things.

Through this period of getting along, he understood that this seemed to be because Adam had too many ideas of his own, but he still couldn't understand it.

That's flying!

"It can't be said that I'm not interested. Flying is an experience worth looking forward to, but this technology lacks practicality for me."

Adam spread his hands:

"I can't ride a broomstick to my parents' restaurant."

"That's true..."

Bernard nodded. He didn't have any physical property to inherit, but after Adam said this, it seemed that he should also consider whether to fully enter the wizarding world in the future.

The professor of flying lessons is Mrs. Hooch, who is also the referee of the Hogwarts Quidditch game. She has short gray hair and yellow eyes like hawks.

"Everyone stand next to a broomstick... What are you waiting for? Come on, come on, hurry up!"

It can be seen that this is a resolute lady.

Standing next to the broomstick, Adam glanced at the broomstick at his feet and found that the branches at the tail were a little messy, and there were even signs of breakage in some places. He hoped it would not affect his use later.

Mrs. Huo Qi glanced around and found that everyone was in their places, and shouted:

"Put your right hand over the broom handle and say, 'Get up!'"

"stand up!"

The broomstick suddenly jumped into Adam's hand.

Although the students around me may have failed the first time because they were too excited, they all succeeded after several attempts.

Everyone held the broom handle and looked very excited.

"Don't worry, you need to know some things about flying before you actually take off."

Mrs. Hooch began to explain how to hold a broomstick correctly and how to sit on it without falling off. During the explanation, she walked past each person and corrected their posture.

"Stand straight. Leaning too far forward will cause your broomstick to rush forward at the beginning!"

Mrs. Hoqi patted Bernard on the back and walked to Adam:

"Well, that's nice. You can hold it more comfortably. If you want to play Quidditch, you can't hold the broomstick with both hands."

"What exactly is Quidditch?"

Bernard couldn't help but muttered. He heard his classmates talking about this yesterday. He wanted to ask but found that he couldn't get in the conversation.

"A game of catching balls while riding on a broomstick. Maybe you can read "The Origins of Quidditch". I have this book on my bookshelf."

"I'll take a look when I get back."

"Okay, kids, stay in this position and remember what I just said! Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall straight back to the ground. When I whistle later, you will push your legs together. Kick off the ground—kick hard!”

Mrs. Huo Qi stood at the front of the team and looked at the students in front of her, holding her silver whistle in her hand:

"Listen to my whistle—three—two—one—"

Accompanied by a clear whistle, Adam kicked his legs hard, and his whole body flew into the air——

It was really a novel experience to ride a broom and hover in the air. Even though Adam had been mentally prepared before, his heartbeat started to accelerate uncontrollably.

At this time, there was a sudden noise around. It turned out that a classmate was too excited and shook his upper body, causing the broomstick to move around. Mrs. Huo Qi called him down from the sky and gave him a lesson.

After watching the excitement, Adam's attention returned to himself. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Adam began to try to control the broomstick - up - down -

After his feet returned to the ground, Adam got off the broomstick and looked at the broom with eyes shining.

Okay, I have to admit that flying a broomstick is a bit fun. I wonder what it feels like to fly with wings?

It seems that the study of Xiangpai can be mentioned earlier...

"Wow!"

Back on the ground, Bernard staggered a little when he got off the broomstick. His legs seemed a little weak and his face was a little pale, but his eyes were bright.

"The flying broomstick is so awesome! I never thought that one day I would be able to fly in the sky...I mean without an iron shell around it."

"The material of the aircraft shell is not iron...but I agree with what you said before."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeise! Adam!"

Adam turned his head and saw Cologne turning a corner in the air, flying diagonally downwards toward him on his broomstick with a look of panic on his face. Adam's pupils shrank, and an invisible magic circle quickly formed under his feet——

"Bang——"

With a muffled sound, Cologne hit the air in front of Adam, as if he hit a thick shield. Fortunately, for some reason, he suddenly lost control of his broomstick, and the speed of the broom suddenly dropped. In the end, Cologne just fell off the broom, which was three or four steps above the ground.

"What did I just say?!"

Madam Hooch rushed over quickly, grabbed Colon and checked him. After confirming that he was not injured, she said angrily:

"Rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly, and fall vertically back to the ground - I don't care what operating techniques you have heard elsewhere, you must do it in my class! If it happens again, you will be put in solitary confinement!"

Letting go of Colon, Madam Hooch looked at the other students with a suffocating look:

"You all remember this too!"

Madam Hooch began to explain how to move forward and backward in the air, and then the get out of class was over, asking everyone to remember the last things she said. She would ask questions in the next class, and those who couldn't remember would not be allowed to get on the flying broom.

"Are you okay?"

Adam walked to Colon.

"I'm fine...just a little sore in the nose."

Colon thought about it and still didn't care about the weirdness of the moment just now. The broom lost control and hit the air, etc., which should be an illusion caused by his panic and confusion in the control of the broom.

"What happened just now?"

"Um..."

Cologne's eyes wandered:

"I just remembered the Quidditch moves I saw in the newspaper before, and wanted to try a pose, but I didn't expect..."

"Shouldn't you be glad that you didn't try the Wronski feint?"

Uther complained when he heard Cologne's words when he came over.

"I'm not stupid! And I know I was wrong now, okay? I was scared when the broom lost control just now..."
