Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18

Chapter 41 The Test in Flight Lesson (Part 2)

"stand up!"

After hearing Mrs. Hooch's order, everyone shouted loudly.

Harry's Nimbus 2000 immediately rose to a suitable height. He has gotten along well with his good buddy, but there are not many rockets who are so obedient. Harry glanced to the side, and the three people in the dormitory Only Rove succeeded. After all, he had been riding at home for a long time, while Neville and Justin's rockets were bouncing on the ground, and they were quite angry when they wanted to refuse.

But such teasing didn't last long. After all, the practice rockets used by Hogwarts were skilled workers who had been trained hundreds of times. After the little wizards worked hard, almost all the little wizards got respond.

Taking advantage of this freshness, Mrs. Hooch began to seriously demonstrate how to sit firmly on the rocket instead of sliding down from the front end.

"You should be grateful for the invention of invisible cushions and pedals. Ancient rockets were much thinner than today's. Wizards had to sit on them very carefully, and even glued themselves to them with spells. At that time, the rockets had no tails. Equipped with a flame arrester, some unlucky wizards accidentally slipped down from the top, not to mention half dead, and the tail flame will burn them severely, but you don’t have to worry now, after hundreds of years of development, today’s rockets are in the The safety factor is very guaranteed.”

Mrs. Hooch, who was walking around in the crowd, was constantly correcting the wrong movements of the little wizards. These basic common senses are not difficult to grasp. Although the seat cushions and pedals are invisible to the naked eye because of their invisibility, they actually exist. Things don't disappear just because they can't be seen.

"Okay, since you already know the common sense, let's try it first. There is no need to ascend to the sky, I just need you to leave the ground and float slightly."

"As soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground, kick hard, and use your actual actions to tell your rockets that they are ready to carry you." Mrs. Hooch bit the whistle in her mouth , "Hold your hands firmly, sit firmly on your buttocks, rise a few feet, stay for a while, then lean forward slightly, and fall vertically back to the ground. It's very simple, listen to my whistle—three—two—one!"

With the sound of a sharp whistle, dozens of little wizards slowly floated to a height of seven or eight feet. These old-fashioned rockets are not fast, but they are still very stable in the sky. From the wizard's mouth, even Neville, who made Harry a little uneasy, did it.

Obviously, trying to ride the Nimbus 2000 in the dormitory made Neville feel less flustered at the moment, and the joy of another success made Neville couldn't help thinking in his heart: 'It seems that I am not worse than others? I just lack a little confidence? '

Neville, who had a slight change in mentality, has some subtle changes, but when a person starts to be sure of himself, things that were once impossible are not impossible.

After a while, after all the little wizards were able to hover stably in the air, Mrs. Hooch allowed everyone to move freely, but they could not fly too high. Ten feet was the limit set by her. Of course, these old rockets were also very difficult. Flying very high, their climbing speed is the same as twenty-eight-handed volt climbs. If the accelerator is given too much, they will keep shaking, and they will continue to emit black farts.

Mrs. Hooch also waved to Harry, and saw that Harry turned lightly and slid over. Compared with the jerkyness of other little wizards, he was as stable as an old driver when driving the Nimbus 2000.

"Awesome! Nimbus 2000!"

The boy next to Mrs. Hooch said with bright eyes after Harry landed on the ground.

"I'm Chris Souza, the Hufflepuff Quidditch House team's keeper and captain, nice to meet you, Harry!"

He grabbed Harry with his somewhat rough hands and shook it vigorously. It was hard to fake the joy from the heart.

"This year, two regular players just graduated and left. Although I have found a very potential seeker, there is still a shortage of chasers. Now the substitute Sherby is a bit too edgy. I sincerely hope you It can bring me a surprise!"

Even for the sake of Nimbus 2000, Chris had a lot of goodwill points when he first met Harry. His rocket swept nine stars. Two years ago, this rocket was considered excellent. But now the Sweeping series has produced a stronger ten-star, not to mention the comparison with the Nimbus 2000.

"Mrs. Hooch, how about handing Harry over to me now? I've prepared a test for him. The Hufflepuff team lacks a breakthrough. We have been suppressed by the other three houses for a long time. The last time The championship was eleven years ago, although we don't like to be in the limelight, but..."

"Okay, okay, Chris."

Mrs. Huo Qi, who seemed to have a headache rubbing her forehead, couldn't stand his nagging. This mother-like character was the opposite of Mrs. Huo Qi.

"Take Harry to the stadium to test, but remember, take your time, after all, Harry's time in contact with the Rockets is too short."

"Don't be brave." Mrs. Hooch glanced at Harry and said seriously, "I don't want students to report to the school infirmary on the first day of class."

"I understand, Professor." Harry grinned, and assured him with full confidence: "I will never try to be brave, and I will not do things that I am not sure about."

"Then go, the stadium is over there."

Mrs. Hooch pointed and looked in the direction of her finger. The huge open-air circular field with colorful flags fluttering in the distance was the Quidditch pitch.

"Can you follow me, Harry?"

Chris rode his Sweeping Nine Stars, the top speed of this rocket can reach 200 miles per hour, although the speed of Nimbus 2000 up to 300 miles can throw it to the point where the tail flame can't be seen, but the speed of the broom People are also very important, he has been able to completely control the Sweeping Nine Stars under him, and there is no pressure at all when pulling to full speed.

"Maybe I should say that." Harry smiled at Chris, "Can you catch me, Captain."

"Good boy!"

Chris, who was not annoyed at all, didn't care about the teasing in Harry's words. It was the mule or the horse that came out for a walk, and the actual combat test was the real key.

"Then let's go—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure flickering with a 'whoosh', and Harry, who left the place in an instant, shot out like lightning. Brighten up Chris' eyes!

Sweeping Nine Stars is also following closely at this moment, at least in the early stage of acceleration, there is not much difference between the two rockets, but as time goes by, the superior performance of Nimbus 2000 is fully revealed at this moment.

The boy like the wind crossed the sky above the crowd, and turned into a small dot on the background of the sky amidst a burst of exclamation.
