Learn Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 43 The Tempting Dumbledore

Noah said goodbye to the principal he had bumped into by accident, and turned into another corridor.

I didn't expect to meet Dumbledore... The moment Noah saw Dumbledore, he almost thought that Dumbledore was coming for him.

But it shouldn't be, right?

At the moment of turning the corner, he glanced back at the corridor thoughtfully. Principal Dumbledore had already joined Professor McGonagall, and the two were talking about something.

Noah turned into the corridor without stopping and came to the library.

It should be that he thinks too much. Instead of thinking about these things, he might as well think about his homework.

……

"Minerva." Dumbledore greeted Professor McGonagall with a smile.

"Principal Dumbledore." McGonagall did not expect to meet the principal here, and was very surprised. "Shouldn't you go to the Ministry of Magic today?"

"Just came back." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Is there something wrong with the Ministry of Magic?" McGonagall couldn't understand why the headmaster came to find himself first as soon as he came back.

Generally speaking, shouldn't this principal be stealing dessert or deserting his office?

"No, they're all boring things," Dumbledore said while talking about lemon candy. "You know, Minister Bagnor will leave office next year."

The Ministry of Magic has started to form cliques a year in advance.

This kind of thing happens every time a minister leaves office, and Dumbledore, who is the "strongest wizard", is also the target of many people.

So after the meeting, he will inevitably be wooed by various people overtly and secretly.

Even if Dumbledore doesn't participate in these every year, there will still be people who come to try to win them over every year.

The creases on Professor McGonagall's brows have deepened a lot. She doesn't like the twists and turns of the Ministry of Magic.

"What about today's meeting?"

"Still boring." Now Dumbledore frowned too.

"Well, I'm actually here to meet the kid." Dumbledore finally told the truth.

"The kid..." Professor McGonagall was taken aback, "You mean, Lannister?"

Dumbledore nodded: "As you said, he is a good boy."

Professor McGonagall frowned deeper: "Mr. Principal!"

The professor obviously did not agree with the headmaster's tentative behavior.

"Sorry, Minerva, I'm just a little worried."

After all, there was a Slytherin "genius" before, and that genius went astray in the end, which is still one of the things he regrets the most.

Professor McGonagall fell silent when he heard this: "Lannister is a good boy and will not be the next one."

"I hope so too."

……

Noah didn't know about the conversation between the two big boys from the school, and he was speechless watching Mrs. Pince kicking out several Gryffindors.

And two of them were none other than the Weasley twins.

These guys made a lot of noise in the library, which directly angered the librarian.

I don't know what book I'm reading.

It had little to do with Noah though, he had already started to finish his homework.

In order to practice the spell before, he didn't do a lot of homework, and he planned to finish it all at once this afternoon.

As he expected, the library is a very quiet place for him, at least there will be no unnecessary eyes on him all the time.

Most of the people here are looking down at their books, and there is almost no noise except for the sound of turning pages and writing.

Well, thanks to Mrs. Pince for totalitarianism.

During the two days of the weekend, except for Saturday morning, Noah spent the rest of the time in the library.

Even Eve couldn't find an excuse to take him out, but was dragged by Noah to do homework for a day in the library.

In the end, all the Slytherins who became first years were soaked in the library doing homework.

……

On a new Monday, the Slytherins had their first flying lesson.

Their class was held in an open space next to the Forbidden Forest, with Hufflepuff who was teaching with them.

Fourteen brooms have been placed in this clearing, and Ms. Hooch, with short gray hair, has been waiting in the clearing. She has arranged the brooms in two rows, with Slytherin on one side and Hufflepuff on the other. His own is located in the center of the two teams.

The little wizards stood upright consciously, looking at Mrs. Pince expectantly.

"Okay, don't look at me like that, are you ready?" Ms. Hooch likes the eyes of the little wizards very much, just like she likes Quidditch, she also likes every little wizard looking forward to flying The eyes of the sky.

But this did not detract from her sternness at all: "Now stand by the broom, quick! Quick!"

All the little wizards quickly stood up straight.

Although the broom on the ground has been damaged a lot, and some branches have even poked out, it seems that it has been used for a long time, but the little wizards still enjoy it.

"Stretch your right hand over the broom. Then shout: 'Get up!'"

"Get up!" shouted every little wizard.

Some of the broomsticks jumped up immediately and were held firmly by the little wizards, some... just rolled over, and some didn't even move their broomsticks at all.

Noah: "..."

Yes, Noah's broom belongs to the flipped one.

It may be that his disgusted expression revealed his emotions, and this rather old broom didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Well, the broom has a temper too.

Fortunately, most people's brooms are similar to his, only four brooms flew obediently.

Noah looked up, well, Monty and Warrington, and Cedric of Hufflepuff and another Hufflepuff that Noah didn't know, four students grabbed the broom.

Seeing that Noah failed to wake up the broom immediately, Warrington and Montague were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Noah in surprise.

Noah understood that expression in an instant - there are still things you are not good at!

Well, Noah had never played with a broom before.

He looked at the broom that looked like it was on the ground, and there was a hint of threat in his gray eyes: "Get up."

This time the broom got up obediently, and it flew into Noah's hands obediently, and was firmly grasped by him.

After about 5 minutes, everyone grabbed their brooms.

Ms. Hooch began to show them how to ride a broomstick without slipping off. She walked around each one, correcting their grip, but someone as skilled as Montague was obviously very fond of broomsticks. Familiar, flying through the skies even before school, hardly needed much correction.

After correcting her grip, she said loudly: "Now, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard! Hold the broom firmly, rise a few feet, and then lean forward slightly, vertically Fall back to the ground."

"Now, listen to my whistle!"

Everyone is riding on broomsticks and getting ready to fly.
