Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 319 "Landing Bird" and Talent

Flying may be one of the few talents with more talent than effort.

This is like a driver ’s license test. No matter how skilled the subject one remembers, once it involves the practical subject two, the theoretical knowledge in the book can play almost the same role as zero.

But just like driving, the flight course is precisely a training course for maneuvering flying props (flying brooms, magic carpets ...). Most wizards are better after a certain familiarity and training. Control the flying broom and complete the short journey.

With the exception of a few "landbirds", in the European magic world, people usually call wizards who have almost zero flying talent or are unwilling to learn to fly like it is to call people who can't swim "dry ducks". ——Even if the top flying broom is in their hands, they will follow the broken branch that was cast off the curb and cast a spell.

Of course, this situation is quite rare, even rarer than dumb guns.

In fact, the vast majority of wizards dubbed "Landing Birds" are not really flightless at all, but they are a bit less talented and not so good-for example, Hermione Granger, It's just that Little Beaver hasn't realized this yet.

The last class of Gryffindor first grade on Thursday afternoon was Prof. McGonagall ’s Transfiguration.

Perhaps it was stimulated by Elena's excellent performance in the morning. In the face of the little wizards in her college, Professor McGonagall became more strict than before. Throughout the class, Professor McGonagall pursed her lips with a serious face, even if Hermione made a little change in her matches, it did not make her smile.

To make matters worse, when it was almost time for class, Simo Finigan accidentally exploded his matches, which made Professor McGonagall have to drag on for a few minutes to lay out his homework.

So until 3:30 in the afternoon, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a group of Gryffindor wizards hurried down the steps to the flat lawn in front of the castle gate. Not far from the lawn is the black forest's forbidden forest. The autumn wind gently blows the woods and makes a rustling sound.

The little wizards of Slytherin College had been waiting on the lawn for a long time. Elena, wearing a Hufflepuff uniform, stood in a sea of ​​silver and green, which looked particularly conspicuous, and the ground on one side was neatly arranged. More than twenty flying brooms are emitted.

When the Gryffindor students approached, they just heard Draco Malfoy talking aloud about his thrilling flight experience as a child.

"... I can guarantee that it was a Muggle helicopter. When they saw me, they were all stupid, and then the whole helicopter crashed into me like a big soaring bird. "

Draco Malfoy opened his arms, lowered his voice, and whined in his mouth. He looked around the nervous Slytherin wizards, and his eyes fell on the smiling Elena, no Continue to increase the volume consciously.

"However, without any confusion, I calmly tilted the broom to the side, flew over the Muggle helicopter dangerously and dangerously, and flicked away easily ..."

"Come on, Malfoy. It's just to escape a Muggle helicopter, what's so show off."

Ron Weasley pouted and said aloud, "I once drove Charlie's broken broom and almost ran into a hang glider. The difficulty was more thrilling than your story."

As he said, Ron glanced at Elena standing in the crowd without leaving any traces, and lifted her chest slightly.

"Weasley ..."

Draco Malfoy's smug face collapsed instantaneously, glancing gloomyly at the sudden appearance of Ron.

"You can fly with the broken wood **** of your home? Glider, what is that, far worse than a helicopter."

"Huh, do you know anything about Muggles. Harry, tell him, which is more dangerous, a glider or a helicopter?"

Ron blushed and touched Harry on the ground with his broom on the ground, trying to ask for help.

"Glider and helicopter ..."

Harry gave me some embarrassment. The Dursleys never let him watch TV and magazines. In this respect, he really couldn't answer much.

However, in his impression, it seems that the helicopter is more powerful.

Just when Harry didn't know what to answer, the arrival of Hogwarts flight teacher Ms. Huo Qi rescued him from embarrassment.

Ms. Huo Qi is said to have been a member of a professional Quidditch team. She has short gray hair and looks extremely capable. Her eyes are yellow, like the eyes of an eagle.

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, the chat time is over. What are you all waiting for?" She snapped. "Everyone stands beside a flying broom. Quick, quick, hurry up."

Flying broom?

Elena lowered her head and glanced at the flying broomsticks on the lawn. Her face was a little disgusted-she had never understood why it was already in 1991, and the magic world still uses this stick-like flying props?

Even the magic carpets of Egypt and Arabia, or flying motorcycles, are much better than brooms. However, since the school curriculum is arranged in this way, and Quidditch can only use the flying broom as a competition tool, she has no other choice.

The flying brooms that Hogwarts used as teaching props have been around for years, and each one is worn and old.

The hand next to Elena seems to have been hit, the position of the handle is twisted, and some branches protrude out of the way, which does not seem so reassuring.

Last night in the Gryffindor Lounge, she had heard Fred and George Weasley complain about flying brooms in school, saying that some brooms would tremble when you fly too high, and Of course, always slightly to the left.

The only good news is that learning to fly is different from learning magic. It does not require an understanding of magic and principles.

As a magic prop that has been assembled and made, the little wizards only learn how to activate and control it steadily. With regard to flight speed and performance, most of them depend on the craft of the broom itself- It's not difficult to understand, just like driving, the driver doesn't need to understand the principle of the engine, just need to understand the ignition start, control direction and throttle.

"Okay, now stretch out your right hand and place it on the broom."

After everyone had settled, Mrs. Huo Qi shook her hips and shouted in front of the line, "Then say: 'Get up!'"

"Get up!" Everyone shouted.

Elena's broom immediately jumped into her hand, and beside her, Harry and Malfoy's broom jumped in the same instant, followed by Ron and Simon's broom.

But there are only a few brooms that are obedient like this, and more brooms roll naughtily on the ground.

Hermione Granger ’s broom was okay, at least a little bounced on the ground, and Neville ’s broom seemed to be asleep, not moving at all ... the students had to repeat it over and over again A command.

While waiting for other little wizards to summon the broom, Elena lifted the corner of her skirt calmly and wiped the broom handle carefully with the expressions of Draco, Harry, and Ron's words. Then, by the way, the branches behind the teeth and claws were pulled down, trying to make the broom look better.

Most of the other successful girls are imitating Elena and doing the same thing.

Similar to the Hogwarts boys' robes that have remained unchanged for ten thousand years, the white shirt plus gray and black suit pants are matched. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there is not much room for choice.

Generally speaking, according to the Hogwarts autumn dress, the upper bodies of the little witches are mostly gray or dark gray V-neck sweaters, and there are styles of pullovers and cardigans, depending on how much gold is spent in the Lady Mokin robe shop Gallon.

The lower bodies of the witches are uniform gray or black pleated skirts and checkered skirts, which are matched with gray stockings according to the weather and season, or black stockings that are impervious to flesh. (Picture.JPG → click to view)

After waiting for a while, everyone's brooms finally jumped up, and Mrs. Huo Qi also returned to the front of the team and began to explain the content of the subsequent flight lessons.

"The riding broom is mainly divided into two positions!"

"Saddle riding allows the broom to fly faster, withstand the wind pressure from the oncoming fly, and has a wider field of vision. And because it can roll, the maneuverability is better, and it is more convenient to draw out your hand to use the wand."

Mrs. Hodge made a standard straddle demonstration and stopped after leaving her feet on the ground.

"Sit on the side, the advantage is that it is more comfortable when riding, the posture is more elegant, and the girl will not run out when wearing a skirt. And when the situation occurs, you can quickly jump off the broom."

As Mrs. Hodge said, she glanced at the girls in the queue and nodded slightly.

There is no doubt that this is the exclusive pose of the witch.

"But the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the field of vision is almost limited to the side of the flight path, and the speed cannot be improved. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to do actions such as rolling. In addition, relatively speaking, the flying talent and sense of balance The requirements are also higher. You have to go through a certain period of training before you can try this method, so today is just an introduction ... "

Before Ms. Huo Qi had finished speaking, I saw Elena lowering her head and holding the skirt, sitting naturally on the broom sideways, with her feet hanging slightly, as if swinging in the air. go with.

For Elena, since holding the flying broom, she has a wonderful feeling. It seems that she will fly naturally, which is like the instinctive feeling that fish will naturally swim-at the same time, Hermione Chocobo Granger, who was subdued by the broom, was a little more complicated.

"... Well, it seems that someone has succeeded."

Mrs. Huo Qi twitched her lips slightly and shrugged a little helplessly-it seems that at the Quidditch Cup next year, Hufflepuff Academy is about to rise, if Elena is willing to join the Academy's Quidditch team .

You know, in order to avoid the children being so tall, Mrs. Huo Qi deliberately omitted a small message, that is, side riding is not just a girl ’s riding method, many Quidditch teams also use this method to judge players Whether the balance and talents are qualified.
