Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 85: In flight lessons
In fact, a few days ago, the announcement of flying lessons on Thursday was posted in the Gryffindor common room.
Flying has undoubtedly become a hot topic among the freshmen. Since the announcement was posted, words such as flying and broom can always be heard every day.
However, this incident did not bring much waves to the freshmen of Gryffindor.
After all, everyone knows that Fred, George and Angelina, as the team's backup, train with the regular players, and prepare to work hard for the selection of regular players next year.
Albert and Lee Jordan occasionally participate in training. Both of them have good flying skills. As for Arya, this witch from a wizard family has naturally been in contact with broomsticks since she was a child, and has no knowledge of flying. Others are so keen.
After the announcement of the flight class was posted, everyone had no special reaction, and even the topic of flying was much less talked about than other colleges.
With only one exception, Shanna, who was born into a Muggle family, has no contact with broomsticks at all. She is definitely the most nervous of Gryffindor's freshmen.
To this end, she also borrowed a copy of "The Origin of Quidditch" from the library, hoping to learn some flying skills from the book.
It's a pity that Shanna doesn't have a faceplate, so she can't directly add some upgrades, and the book can't directly help her understand the ability to ride a broom.
"Don't worry, riding a broom is not as difficult as you think, have you ever ridden a bicycle?" Albert actually understood the reason for Shanna's nervousness, just like people who fly for the first time will be nervous. Picking up a broom is naturally also tense, and it will be very tense.
Most importantly, she lacked confidence in herself. Honestly, the confidence thing is really important.
Albert's confidence comes from his own panel. He knows that he will never fail, so he dares to try, and the big deal is solved by adding points to the panel. After all, there is still a lot of experience in the stored experience pool, which is the source of his confidence.
"Ride," Shanna replied, taking a deep breath.
"Riding a broom is like riding a bicycle." Albert comforted, "At the beginning, someone will teach you, try a few times, and you will definitely learn."
"Really?" Shanna asked suspiciously.
"Really." Albert nodded, "You should have some confidence in yourself."
Next to him, Lee Jordan was speechless. Although he had never ridden a so-called bicycle himself, Lee Jordan dared to pat his chest and assured that Albert was fooling others there again.
You're amazing yourself, but Shanna isn't you!
In the afternoon, a few minutes before flight lessons.
Albert and the Gryffindor students hurried to the class venue, and the Gryffindor flying lesson was held with the Slytherin students.
"Why not take a flying lesson on the Quidditch pitch?" Fred wondered again, taking place on a flat lawn outside the castle.
"Who knows." Lee Jordan didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't all the same everywhere.
"Come on, don't be late," urged Angelina, who seemed impatient to take her first flying lesson.
"Don't worry, there are still five minutes, enough time for you to go there." Albert was not in a hurry at all, looking up at the lawn in front of him.
The Slytherin students are already there, helping Madame Hooch set up their brooms.
Mrs. Hooch is a short-haired woman with an aquiline nose and sharp eagle-like eyes. After riding a broom, it gives an inexplicable illusion, as if it were a bird that could swoop and capture at any time. Prey eagle.
The flying lessons were pretty much the same as what Charlie taught them.
First, let the broom jump into your hand. Most of the Gryffindor students succeeded after a few attempts. Only Shanna was a special case. Her broom didn't move. Hold it in your hand, causing a burst of laughter.
Madam Hooch, who saw this scene, also shook her head indistinctly.
"Don't worry, there are only a few who can do it easily." Angelina motioned for Shanna, whose face was flushed, to look at the Slytherin students opposite her. Their situation was not much better than hers. Those who were still laughing at them just now. Her people are still competing with their brooms.
Next is how to ride a broomstick and how to hold her hands correctly. Mrs. Hooch walked back and forth among the students to correct everyone's wrong grip. She was amazed at the high level of Gryffindor students. Gryffindor added five points to the dissatisfaction of the Slytherin students who were criticized opposite.
Then, followed by practice lifting off the ground.
Shanna's situation was even worse. The broom she was riding was shaking slightly, and she didn't know if it was her broom or she was shaking.
After the simple tutorial, Mrs. Hooch let the best people on the brooms practice freely. With her eyesight, it was natural to see that Albert and the others had mastered the skills of using the flying broom.
Fred watched with pleasure as the Slytherin students who were still instructed, got off the ground on a broom after George and began to fly in the sky like magic.
Albert couldn't help shaking his head again and again. He naturally knew that Fred was doing this to stimulate the Slytherin students on the opposite side.
After all, the freshmen of the opposite phase are far less talented in flying than Gryffindor.
No way, except for Shanna who flew badly in Gryffindor and was left behind by Mrs. Hooch, most of the people have already flown in the sky~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, the few of us don't need to fly at all flight lessons. "George told Fred, who were in a cross-helix flight, to a round of applause.
"Flying well," said Lee Jordan, who went to the Quidditch pitch far less often than the Weasley twins. Even if you go with Albert, it's just to enjoy flying on a broom, or play ball with everyone.
"However, Slytherin students can't do it!" Lee Jordan said in front of the Slytherin students when he landed, and instantly drew a wave of hatred, which attracted the glares of a group of little snakes.
"I was right."
"It can only be said that we are far better than them in this regard." Albert put a knife on the chest of the Slytherin student without being salty.
"Come on, Warrington, over Weasley."
In the sky, a Slytherin student who was flying well was following behind George and Fred. With the shouts of Zeng Shengxin and the companions below, it evolved into a circle game.
Fly faster and more steadily than anyone else.
Slytherin's Warrington was just one section short of the twins, who often practice flying around the court, and ultimately failed miserably.
Afterwards, the three of them were trained by Mrs. Hooch, but everyone could see that Fred and George didn't care. They cared more about Warrington who won Slytherin.
"Win," Fred announced happily.
"Isn't this normal?" Albert looked at the two of them speechlessly, it was impossible for them to lose from the beginning.
It's just that these words reached the ears of Slytherin students. I don't know why it was so harsh. What is normal?
Is it normal for us Slytherins to lose?
I'm so angry, I really want to beat him up.
