"Got it, I'll go first!" One of the twins got on the broom first, pushed his feet against the ground, quickly left the ground, and began to fly around the Quidditch field.
"It's OK, just barely passable."
Charlie gave a simple evaluation while watching his brother fly around the pole. In fact, it is not difficult to tell from the smile on his face that he should be quite satisfied.
After all, not every freshman can fly so steadily.
After the twins had their first test flight, it was finally Albert and Lee Jordan's turn.
Since neither of them had ever ridden a broomstick, Charlie had to teach them how to use one. He was showing them how to ride on a broomstick without sliding off their heads.
"We didn't have this kind of treatment before." The twins jokingly said, "By the way, are we really his brothers?"
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Charlie glared at the twins unhappily and began to correct Lee Jordan's hand grip.
"You only need to push your legs to leave the ground. You will get a feel for how to control the force when you try it yourself later." Charlie taught them how to ride a broom seriously, just like a professor. "Hold the broom steady and lift your body slightly upwards, and the broom will rise. Similarly, if you lean down slightly, the broom will fall vertically back to the ground. If you lean forward, the broom will move forward."
It took about five minutes. After Charlie finished explaining the precautions, he asked Lee Jordan to start the test flight. He drew out his wand, ready to catch any freshman who might fall off the broom.
Li Jordan flew fairly steadily.
However, he flew very slowly around the Quidditch field, and it took him about five minutes to finish the flight. When he landed back on the ground, his face was filled with excitement that he could not conceal.
He could fly so smoothly thanks to his experience riding a toy broom before.
"Good flying." Charlie said a symbolic word of encouragement and handed the broom to Albert beside him.
Albert reached out and felt around on the broom handle.
Well, it's smooth, not cushioned.
He also remembered that the broomstick was enchanted with something called a "cushion charm" or a dampening charm.
However, he didn't feel any magic when he touched it. Albert was a little doubtful whether he would feel the sadness of "balls" if he sat on it
There was no way around it, there was an obvious seat on the toy broom.
"What are you doing?" Charlie looked at Albert stroking the broom handle in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.
"Nothing, I'm just trying to find where the cushion is?" Before Charlie could figure out what this meant, Albert had already stepped onto the broom and pushed off the ground with his feet.
Sure enough, the shock-absorbing spell does exist.
Sitting astride the flying broom did not hurt himself, because there was a very soft layer separating Albert from the broom handle, and it felt like sitting on a soft cushion.
Well, if I have to describe it, it's a bit like riding a bicycle.
As the broom flew up, the air immediately blew up Albert's robe, making it flutter behind him. Albert felt that he had never been so happy, and even forgot his awkward posture. He followed Charlie's instructions and slowly raised the broom head to make himself fly higher.
Albert glanced down, about 10 feet from the ground.
Thank God.
Fortunately, I am not afraid of heights, otherwise I would have fallen from mid-air if I let go.
Albert grabbed the broom handle with one hand and slowly leaned forward. The broom began to move forward, just like the first time he rode a toy broom. However, Albert flew very slowly, slower than Lee Jordan. But he still began to fly around the Quebec Stadium, enjoying the fun of flying.
Charlie below was very surprised. He had never expected that Albert would adapt to flying so quickly. Some newcomers who had never used a flying broom would become panic-stricken as soon as they flew into the air.
The other party was a freshman who was using a flying broom for the first time. It only took him a few minutes to achieve such a high level of flying ability, which was already very good.
However, after adapting to the current flying speed, Albert, who was flying in the air on a broom, no longer wanted to move slowly. He opened the skill list and upgraded the flying skill (broom) to level 1.
Albert seemed to have learned it by himself. He leaned forward, as if touching the accelerator switch, and the speed of the broom suddenly increased.
His originally slow movements became agile, and he rode his broom around the goal posts. The wind blowing in his face made him squint his eyes.
Hurry up!
His body instinctively leaned forward, and his speed increased a little. His sight in front of him was rapidly receding, and Albert felt that his heart might jump out of his chest at any time.
The feeling of flying is really great!
At this moment, Albert finally understood why wizards liked this kind of game.
Stimulate!
Yes, it's thrilling.
Just like why some people like to race cars.
Albert flew around the Quidditch field several times on his broom, flying faster and faster, almost reaching the maximum speed of sweeping the seven stars.
The four people below opened their mouths in surprise and were almost stunned.
“You fly well!”
A few minutes later, Charlie looked at Albert who had landed with a little stuttering. He felt incredible that he had witnessed the growth of this first-year student, from slow to fast, and gradually adapting.
It's only been a short time.
This talent is truly amazing!
Albert had roughly adapted to how to use the broom and overcome high-speed flight in just a few minutes.
Li Jordan, who was standing next to the twins, looked at Albert with a complicated expression. He originally thought that he was flying well, but he didn't expect that there was an even more evil guy.
Could it be that the legendary genius really exists
Of course, he wouldn't think so if he knew that Albert upgraded his flying skill (broom) to level 1 in order to enjoy the speed.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Albert apologized to Charlie immediately after getting off the broom.
Having said that, it feels really good to ride a broom.
"You are very talented in this area." Charlie patted Albert's shoulder vigorously and said, "You are all very talented. You can consider being a substitute player for the team. If you are free, you can participate in training together."
Charlie was very satisfied with today's harvest. Both Fred and George and their two friends were very talented in flying.
The twins looked delighted upon hearing this.
"We don't have our own brooms," Albert reminded.
"It's okay, you can borrow a broom from school," Charlie consoled him, "You can learn some skills first and find your place."
"However, I have one thing to say first." Charlie cleared his throat and said, "If you want to become a real Quidditch player, you still need to rely on your own abilities to pass the player selection next year. I will not let you off the hook in this regard."
"We understand." Fred winked.
"Well, that's good to know." Charlie was very satisfied with this. He planned to train a few people and use them as the team's secret weapons.
