The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 12 Flight Lessons

Throughout the weekend, Ryan was called by Hermione to go to the library to read books at other times except for Saturday morning when he went around the Black Lake.Originally, Ryan didn't want to go, but after observing in the common room for a few days, he found that the entertainment items in the wizarding world were nothing more than some chess and card games or Quidditch. For Ryan who traveled from the information age, it was really boring.In comparison, the various magical books are more interesting.

In addition to reading books, Ryan sat by the fire in the common room and chatted with his classmates on holiday nights. Sometimes some students would come to ask about their homework, and Ryan patiently helped them answer.

While helping his classmates, Ryan finally understood why professors get angry when they correct assignments.Some people copied long paragraphs from the original text in the textbook, and some people didn't make any logical sense at all. In the most extreme cases, they even took a section of Potions homework after the Transfiguration homework was not enough.Not to mention a plethora of grammatical and spelling errors that Ryan didn't even make much of in his previous life.

It can only be said that the teachers at Hogwarts have a good temper.If he were to be the teacher, he would definitely swell the paws of some opportunistic children.

Looking at the pleading gazes of his classmates like small animals, the soft-hearted Ryan could only sigh silently.Inspire these little guys to write their homework a little bit, and teach them the format of writing papers in previous lives.

However, on Sunday night.Ryan also firmly rejected the request of individual students to copy their homework.

Days passed like this day by day, and Ryan gradually established an image of a principled and good person among Gryffindor classmates.Of course, Hermione Granger's somewhat withdrawn, nerdy image was also established at the same time.Ryan had hinted at this issue to Hermione a few times, but unfortunately she still went her own way.

Finally, more than a month after the start of school, a notice was posted in the Gryffindor common room that flying lessons will start on Thursday-Gryffindor students will have lessons with Slytherin students.Aside from being a bit frustrating with Slytherin, the rest of the news is pretty exciting.

Within days of the notice being posted, everyone from the wizarding family was babbling about Quidditch, except Neville Longbottom.Ryan heard a lot of stories, but he really couldn't understand the fun of Quidditch.

However, Ryan also learned from the chats of his classmates that every few years, there will always be one or two young wizards who are forced to apply for exemption from majors because of their insurmountable fear of heights, and then they will be socially killed as cowards in the courtyard.He prayed silently, hoping that he would not be one of these unlucky ones.

In the midst of everyone's heated discussions, the time came to Thursday.Over breakfast in the morning, Hermione kept talking about some flying instructions she had read from a library book called Quidditch.Everyone except Neville was a little tired of her babbling.

Seeing this situation, Ryan made a quiet gesture to Hermione. "It's actually the same as swimming. No matter how much theory you learn, it's not very useful. The most important thing is to try it." Hermione opened her mouth, as if to refute something.But the owl's letter interrupted what she was about to say.

Neville's grandmother sent her a memory ball.As a result, it was almost snatched by Malfoy, but fortunately, Professor McGonagall came to deal with the matter quickly.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the Gryffindor and Slytherin first-year students all came to the front field, preparing for their first flying lessons.The weather was fine, a fine day for flying.

Dozens of broomsticks are neatly arranged on the ground. I heard from the seniors that these broomsticks are all old, and some of them can even be called antiques.

Lane glanced at the broom.It turned out that many broom branches had fallen off a lot, and the place where the end was held was also warm and glowing.It appears that these brooms are in a worrisome condition.

Their teacher Mrs. Hooch came.She had short gray hair, and her eyes were yellow like a hawk's.She is a very capable looking lady.

"Well, what are you all waiting for?" she snapped. "Everyone stand by a broomstick. Quick, quick, hurry up."

When everyone stands up.Mrs. Hooch shouted from the front: "Put your right hand over the handle of the broom and say, 'Get up!.'"

"Get up!" A chaotic voice came out.

Less than one-fifth of the brooms obeyed.Obviously Lane was the four out of five, his broom just rolled on the ground.

Fortunately, after more than a dozen repeated calls, the broom finally jumped into his hands.

Mrs. Hooch then showed them how to get on the broom without sliding off it.Ryan looked very seriously, although he knew Madam Pomfrey's craftsmanship was very good.Even if the bones in an entire arm are gone, they can grow back in one night.But as a normal person, I definitely don't want to enjoy the advanced medical level of the magic world.

After correcting everyone's gestures, they entered the actual operation stage. After a whistle sounded, everyone floated up and floated to a place about one meter above the ground.After a few minutes of testing, Ryan found that he might not be good at brooms, and no matter how much he practiced, he could at most be able to ride.

Just as Ryan had just returned to the ground according to Mrs. Hooch's instructions, there was an exclamation from the side.It turned out that Neville was too nervous, which caused his broom to lose control, and his whole body rose rapidly.Then he lost his grip on the broom and fell from the sky.

Ryan originally thought that Neville would fly up before Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle based on his memory of the original book.So be prepared to act early to avoid things from happening.But there was no problem until Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle, and Ryan thought his butterfly wings had wiped out the accident.

After seeing Neville ascend, Ryan subconsciously took out his wand from his pocket.Then, as he fell, the Levitation Charm was cast on him.

It's a pity that Ryan's spells are self-taught, and the effect is not good.Neville just paused in the air for less than a second, and then fell heavily on the grass.

Mrs. Hooch nervously ran forward to check on Neville's situation.

"The wrist is broken, maybe a bit broken." Everyone heard her whisper.It seems that the floating spell still has some effect, which is much better than the original fracture.However, it is likely that the system did not respond because the change was not large, but at least this helped a person, and Ryan felt very happy.

All right, kid—it's all right, get up. " Mrs. Hooch helped Neville up and said.

She turned and warned the rest of the class to put the broom back where it belonged.After that, they took Neville to the school hospital.
