In fact, a notice about flying lessons on Thursday was posted in the Gryffindor common room a few days ago.
Flying has undoubtedly become a hot topic among this year's freshmen. Since the announcement was posted, words like flying and broom can be heard every day.
However, this incident did not cause much trouble for the freshmen of Gryffindor.
After all, everyone knows that Fred, George and Angelina, as substitutes for the team, train with the regular players and prepare to participate in the selection of regular players next year.
Albert and Lee Jordan would occasionally participate in the training, and both of them had good flying skills. As for Arya, this witch from a wizard family had naturally been exposed to flying brooms since she was a child, but she was not as keen on flying as others.
So much so that after the flight class announcement was posted, no one had any special reaction, and the topic of flying was even less discussed than in other colleges.
There was only one exception: Sana, who was born into a Muggle family and had never touched a flying broom. She was definitely the most nervous freshman in Gryffindor.
To this end, she also borrowed a book "The Origins of Quidditch" from the library, hoping to learn some flying skills from the book.
It’s a pity that Shana doesn’t have a panel and can’t directly add points to upgrade, and the book can’t directly help her learn the skills of riding a flying broom.
"Don't worry, riding a flying broom is not as difficult as you believe. Have you ever ridden a bicycle?" Albert actually understood why Sana was nervous. Just like people who take a plane for the first time would be nervous, it would be natural to be nervous when riding a broom for the first time, and very nervous.
The most important thing is that she lacks confidence in herself. To be honest, confidence is really important.
Albert's confidence came from his own panel. He knew he would never fail, so he tried boldly. At worst, he could solve the problem by adding points on the panel. After all, there was still a lot of experience in the experience pool, which was the source of his confidence.
"I have ridden it." Shanna took a deep breath and replied.
"Riding a broomstick is like riding a bicycle," Albert comforted him. "There will be someone to teach you at first. Just try a few times and you will definitely learn it."
"Really?" Sana asked suspiciously.
"Really." Albert nodded, "You should have some confidence in yourself."
Li Jordan next to him was speechless. Although he himself had never ridden the so-called bicycle, Li Jordan dared to pat his chest and guarantee that Albert was fooling others again.
It's true that you are very capable, but Shanna is not you!
In the afternoon, a few minutes before the flight lesson.
Albert and the Gryffindor students hurried to the class venue. Gryffindor's flying class was taken together with Slytherin students.
"Why not have flying lessons on the Quidditch pitch?" Fred was puzzled again. Their flying lessons were held on a flat lawn outside the castle.
"Who knows?" Li Qiaodan disagreed. It would be the same wherever you go.
"Hurry up, don't be late." Angelina urged, she seemed eager to have her first flying lesson.
"Don't worry, there are still five minutes, enough time for you to get there with some spare time." Albert was not in a hurry at all, he raised his head and looked at the lawn in front of him.
The Slytherins were already there, helping Madam Hooch set up her broomsticks.
Madam Hooch is a woman with short hair, a hooked nose, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes. When she rides on a broom, she gives people an inexplicable illusion, as if she is an eagle that may swoop down and catch its prey at any time.
The flying lessons were pretty much the same as what Charlie had taught them.
First, make the broom jump onto your hands. Most of the Gryffindor students succeeded after several attempts, except for Shanna. Her broom didn't move at all. Finally, Shanna bent down and took the broom in her hand, causing a burst of laughter.
Mrs. Huo Qi, who saw this scene, also shook her head slightly.
"Don't worry, only a few can do it easily." Angelina motioned to Shanna, whose face was flushed, to look at the Slytherin students opposite. Their situation was not much better than hers. Those who had just been laughing at her were still struggling with their brooms.
The next lesson was how to ride a broomstick and how to hold the hands correctly. Madam Hooch walked back and forth among the students, correcting everyone's incorrect holding methods. She was amazed at the high level of the Gryffindor students and awarded Gryffindor five extra points for this, which made the Slytherin students who were criticized on the opposite side very dissatisfied.
Then, the next step is to practice lifting off the ground.
Sana's situation was even worse. The broom she was riding was shaking slightly, and she couldn't tell whether it was her broom that was shaking or she herself.
After finishing the simple tutorial, Madam Hooch let the best broom riders practice freely. With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see that Albert and the others had already mastered the skills of flying brooms.
Fred watched with pleasure as the Slytherin students who were still receiving instruction lifted off the ground on their brooms behind George and began to fly in the sky like a show-off.
Albert couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that Fred did this to provoke the Slytherin student opposite him.
After all, the flying talent of the freshmen on the other side is far inferior to that of Gryffindor.
There was no way. Except for Sana who was a bad flyer and was left behind by Madam Hooch, most of the Gryffindor people were already flying in the sky.
"In fact, none of us need flying lessons," George said to Fred as the two of them performed a cross-helix flight, drawing applause.
"Flying well." Lee Jordan said. He went to the Quidditch field far less often than the Weasley twins. Even when he went with Albert, he just went there to enjoy flying on a broom or playing ball with everyone.
"But Slytherin students are not allowed!" Lee Jordan said in front of the Slytherin students when he landed, instantly attracting a wave of hatred and drawing angry glares from a group of little snakes.
"I wasn't wrong."
"All I can say is that we are far better than them in this respect." Albert stabbed the Slytherin student in the chest indifferently.
"Come on Warrington, overtake Weasley."
In the sky, a Slytherin student who was a good flyer was following George and Fred. With the desire to win and the shouts of their companions below, the race turned into a circling race.
See who can fly faster and more steadily.
Unlike the twins who often practiced flying around the field, Slytherin's Warrington was only one section behind and ultimately suffered a miserable defeat.
Afterwards, all three were scolded by Madam Hooch, but everyone could see that Fred and George didn't care. They cared more about beating Warrington from Slytherin.
"Winner," Fred announced happily.
"Isn't this normal?" Albert looked at the two speechlessly. It was impossible for them to lose from the beginning.
However, when these words reached the ears of the Slytherin students, they sounded so harsh for some reason. What does it mean to be normal
Is it normal for us Slytherins to lose
I'm so angry, I really want to beat him up.
