Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Chapter 22 Flight Lessons

"Welcome to your first flying lesson." Mrs. Huo Qi appeared above the lawn on a broomstick. She landed slowly, "Here you will learn how to fly a broomstick."

The little wizards who were originally gathering in twos and threes on the lawn hurriedly gathered together after seeing Mrs. Huo Qi. They knew that class would start soon.

"What we are going to teach you today is to summon your broom, and then drive it to a position below five meters." Mrs. Huo Qi waved her hand, and a sweeping five-star appeared at the feet of the students.

"Due to limited funds, we can only sweep four stars, but its performance is very stable and it is very suitable for novices."

"Put your right hand over the broom handle," Mrs. Hooch called, "and say: Get up."

"Get up" everyone shouted. Some people succeeded, but some people's brooms didn't move at all. They could only try a few more times out of frustration; but compared to those who were hit in the face by the broom bounce, they may be lucky. of.

Then Mrs. Hooch showed them how to get on a broom without slipping off her head.She walked up and down the line, correcting their grip.

"Okay, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Hold the broom steadily, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground. Listen to my whistle three two”

Stephen kicked off his legs and successfully left the ground. He felt that flying was not very difficult. Stephen gradually raised the height, and soon reached the three-meter limit set by Mrs. Hoqi.

He looked around. Rowan was flying rapidly at a height of three meters. He didn't know how many times he had flown before he could fly so skillfully. Other students were trembling, as if riding a broom to the sky was difficult.

"Where's Petunia?" Stephen looked around, and it turned out that Petunia hadn't taken off yet. She looked a little nervous, and Stephen shook his head. Just now she said she wanted to fly on Buckbeak for a while, but now it was difficult to even sit on a broomstick.

Stephen tried to control the broom and flew over: "Penny, what's wrong with you?"

"Stephen, I feel like I can't leave my feet off the ground." Penny stared at the ground, "I think I might be scared."

"Penny, it's just a little bit off the ground. Aren't you afraid of heights?" A smile appeared on Stephen's face. He looked at Penny, "Kick off your feet, don't use too much force. Don't you still want to see Buck?" I'm afraid it won't work if Piccolo is afraid of flying."

Stephen thought of Neville, who flew too high because of too much force.

"You're right, Stephen, I think I should give it a try." Penny took a deep breath, feeling that she should be ready, "You'll be watching me, right?"

"I'll try my best." Stephen didn't dare to finish his words, but he took out the wand from his sleeve and was prepared to use the levitation spell if the situation went wrong. Although he was not skilled in using it, he was still very confident as long as the flight was not too high.

Penny kicked lightly at first, but there was no response. She kicked harder and it flew up this time. She clutched the broom tightly with both hands, looked down at the ground, and then up at Stephen.

"It turns out that this is how it feels to fly into the sky. I have never tried it before. My parents were not willing to let me try flying a broomstick when I was very young." Penny felt that she was not afraid now, "Stephen, I am not Afraid of heights, you must remember to take me to see Buckbeak later."

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Stephen smiled. "I will write a letter to Hagrid later. I think he will be happy to take us to meet Buckbeak. Hagrid is always very enthusiastic and keen to introduce the little wizards to him. Fantastic Beasts, I think you’ll really like him.”

"Oh" an exclamation suddenly appeared on the other side of the lawn, and Stephen and Petunia looked towards the place where the sound came from.

A silver-haired girl wearing a Hufflepuff robe flew too high. She flew at least twenty meters above the ground. She didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly fly so high. She was so nervous that she failed to hold on to the broomstick and fell from it.

The one closest to that position was Rowan. He reacted immediately and climbed quickly on his broomstick. When he was ten meters above the ground, he grabbed the girl's hand and tried to pull her up. However, Rowan seems to have overestimated his arm strength and the age of his four-star sweep.

What happened was that the girl grabbed his hand and pulled him and the broom down together, but they didn't fall as fast as before.

"That girl seems to be Chiara" was Penny's voice, with a hint of trembling.

"Wingardim Leviosa." At the same moment that Rowan grabbed Chiara, Stephen took action, but the weight of the two was beyond what his spell could bear, and he could only make the two fall. Not that bad.

"Oh," was Rowan's cry, catching Chiara and his broom with his own body as he fell to the lawn.

"Merlin bless you, that's twenty meters. I think you need to go to the school hospital and take a closer look." Mrs. Hoqi hurriedly ran to Rowan and Chiara, and used the levitation spell to lift the two of them up. "No one, no one." My permission is not to use the broomstick and stay on the lawn until get out of class is over."

"Stephen, will they two be fine? I see you used the levitation spell on them."

"Emmm, I think I can only make Rowan's fall less miserable. I think he may have to stay at Madam Pomfrey's for a few days." Stephen watched the two people who fell go away. Mrs. Huo Qi said, "That's twenty meters. I really don't know how that girl did it. If Luo Wen hadn't caught her in the middle, she would have died."

"I hope Rowan and the others are okay." Petunia had a worried look on her face, "Then are we going to Hagrid's soon? I think we may need to go see Rowan and Chiara first."

"Let's go check on the two of them first." Stephen nodded, "We can postpone our trip to Hagrid."

get out of class was over, and the two hurried to the school hospital to visit Rowan and Chiara.

"Fortunately, Rowan held Chiara and prevented her from falling to her death from a height of twenty meters." Madam Pomfrey looked at the two of them and rambled on about the many dangers of flying lessons. In her opinion, it was so Dangerous classes should be canceled directly. "I have to thank someone for using the levitation spell on them, otherwise they would have to stay here for a week instead of lying down for a day."

"Oh, Stephen, some students told me that they saw you use the levitation spell to save Rowan." It was Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout. They heard the news that their students were injured and came over to visit.

"Yes, Professor Flitwick, Stephen was next to me at that time..." Petunia briefly explained the situation to the two professors.

"Well, I understand. Fortunately, you used the levitation spell to prevent Rowan and Chiara from being so seriously injured." Professor Flitwick nodded, "I think we should add twenty points to Rowan and your actions. Come on, let’s go in and see the two of them.”

As Mrs. Pomred said, Rowan only fell badly when he caught Chiara in the end, and he recovered quickly, but he needed to be observed in the school hospital for a day; while Chiara was a little frightened, except for Other than that, it's no big deal.

"We have suggested that Mrs. Hooch apply to Professor Dumbledore for an updated broomstick. To be honest, the four-star sweep is too old." When Professor Sprout left, he told Stephen and Petunia something about replacing the equipment. thing.

Soon after, Filch posted a notice on the bulletin wall. It says that the school has decided to purchase a batch of Sweeping Seven Stars to replace the old Sweeping Four Stars. At the same time, in order to prevent new students from flying too high, the maximum flying height of teaching brooms is set at twelve meters, which is approximately twenty feet.
