Chapter 10 The effort of raising a hand

This Herbology class is one of the few classes in this school year that Hufflepuff and Gryffindor take together. Although there may be changes in the next school year, it is a lesson that allows Maka to get close to Harry and the other three.

The most suitable time for the group.

Speaking of Harry, the boy who survived is currently fighting with all his strength against the Flobber caterpillars on the stems and leaves! Yes, that’s right, it’s the Michael Corner with a weak sense of presence.

The kind that my classmates ate alive when they were kids. They especially like lettuce, but generally they eat plants.

When Ron squeezed over to ask Maka about his previous encounter with Snape in Potions class, Maka was thinking about this kind of caterpillar! These guys are 10 inches long, longer than Maka

The wand was not much shorter, God knows how Michael swallowed it as a child!

"Could it be eaten after biting it off?" Maka thought about it and suddenly shuddered.

"...Why don't you bite it off before you eat it? Are you thinking about what to have for lunch?" Ron looked at Maka in confusion, and then said, "Don't worry about lunch for now, tell me about it! You are

How did you provoke Snape? We will start his class tomorrow. I heard from my seniors that he always only favors students from his own college, and I don’t know if that’s true.”

Maka came back to her senses and shook her head helplessly.

"Who told you that I provoked Professor Snape? Isn't this seeking death?" He briefly explained the specific situation, but Hermione couldn't help but join in.

"Hey! I mean, Professor Snape really said that?" Hermione said a little excitedly, "That's Arseny Giger's pharmacological formula, it's authoritative! How could he say it was a mistake so casually!"

Immediately, Hermione calmed down again, and then looked at Maka apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with questioning authority, but..." She hesitated, a little doubtful, "I mean, is that quantitative constant really an unnecessary constant?"

"It should be right." Maka nodded, and then explained to Hermione in a low voice. Hermione added a few words while listening, but seemed to be a little convinced.

"What are they talking about?" Ron turned his head and asked Harry.

"Probably it's the content of Potions class." Harry had finished fiddling with it at this moment. A Flobber caterpillar was twisting and struggling in his gloved right hand, but it couldn't escape from the caterpillar that was blocking it from eating.

The claws of evil.

"So, we also need to learn those... I mean, what they are talking about?" Ron hesitantly leaned forward to listen to a few more words, and then looked back at Harry.

Harry shook his head. He only knew that he couldn't understand it at all, "It shouldn't be... right?"

After hearing this, Ron looked at Maka and Hermione who were discussing in a low voice again, then gave up and continued to concentrate on fertilizing the herbs.

"Maka, who is always clean and tidy, and Hermione, who is always messy, are a rare combination." He muttered in a low voice, puzzled.

"Then, that Maka who had been lying in bed and couldn't get up turned out to be an excellent and good student."

Before school started, Maka lived in Hao for a long time. Ron thought he was very familiar with him. Although he looked smart and calm, he was actually very lazy and stayed in bed! It turned out that it didn't seem to be the case at all.

It wasn't what he imagined. He once thought he had found a good partner who was similar to himself!

"...Perhaps, I can ask him for help with the homework that I can't solve in the future?" Ron suddenly came up with this idea, at least he thought it was a great idea.

Behind the herbal practice course was the flying course that many people were looking forward to. This course Maka and the others took together with Ravenclaw.

Maka is naturally looking forward to this course that allows people to fly freely in mid-air, but he is not sure whether he will encounter any difficulties. To be honest, his sense of direction is not very good at ordinary times. If he flies into the sky

, will it really be impossible to find the north?

The first flight lesson was held next to the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle, where there was a slightly sunken flat field. The grass on the ground swayed slowly with the breeze, and it looked full of life.

Looking to the east, you can see the edge of a dark forest, with tall tree crowns rippling in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The little Hufflepuff badgers were already standing on the field. They looked at the Ravenclaw students who were walking slowly towards this side. Mrs. Hooch, the flying teacher, was urging them loudly.

Go faster.

"Okay, what are you waiting for?" she said sternly, "Everyone stand next to a broomstick. Quick, quick, hurry up."

Mrs. Huo Qi's short gray hair stood up like a steel needle, unable to even be blown by the wind; her two eyes were yellow, looking like an eagle that was strictly supervising its young birds.

Maka chose a broom that looked more pleasing to the eye from the brooms neatly arranged on the ground, and stood quietly next to it, watching the other students hurriedly find their places to stand.

"Stretch out your right hand and place it on the broom handle," Mrs. Hooch shouted from the front, "and then say: 'Get up!'"

"Get up!" Everyone seemed to be affected by Mrs. Huo Qi's strict tone, and even the shouting became more orderly.

The broom jumped into Maka's hand obediently. He felt this strange and fresh taste, and felt that it seemed not bad.

But other students may not have it so smoothly. Some brooms bounced slightly on the spot, while others rolled on the ground. Ernie's broom even flew directly into the air, making his palms red.

.

It seems that this thing is related to talent. After all, there are only a few people who can get it into their hands normally.

Then, Mrs. Hooch showed them how to ride on a broom without sliding off their heads. She walked around the team, correcting the students' hand grips, and criticizing those who always failed to do well from time to time.

sentence.

"Okay, when I whistle next, you have to kick your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Hold the broom steadily, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall back vertically.

Ground. Listen to my whistle—three—two—"

"Oh——!" Maka couldn't help but exclaimed as she watched the ground getting further and further away from her. This feeling was really interesting like never before.

Mrs. Huo Qi walked back and forth, observing everyone's situation. Of course, there were many people who couldn't fly at all. The brooms didn't seem to listen to them, but nothing special happened.

"Mr. McClain, you have exceeded the height I said." Mrs. Hooch shouted loudly towards Maka, "Get down and be safe!"

Maka was stunned for a moment, and realized that she seemed to be flying higher than the others. She quickly leaned forward slightly as Mrs. Huo Qi said just now, and the broom immediately fell down steadily.

"Well done," Mrs. Huo Qi patted Maka on the shoulder, "The first thing a novice should pay attention to is safety. Step by step is the most correct choice."

Maka nodded, but she was thinking to herself, "Next week you will see Neville and Harry soaring into the sky! Of course, the former is in a literal sense, ew--"

"Mrs. Huo Qi, I was thinking, if a novice accidentally falls off the broom, what should be done to fix it?" Thinking of this, Maka suddenly changed her mind and said.

He still had a good impression of Neville, a fat boy who was always nervous. If Mrs. Hooch had been mentally prepared in advance, perhaps his arm would not be broken.

It must have been painful, otherwise Maka wouldn't still have fresh memories of that scene.

"Just use the levitation spell, don't worry," Mrs. Hooch replied. She thought Maka was worried about being injured. "If it's too late, Madam Pomfrey at the school hospital will cure them. Her potion always

very effective."

"Oh! Thank you for your answer." Maka pretended to be relieved and politely expressed her gratitude.

Of course, this was just a small episode in his study life. For Maka, it was just a matter of convenience, and he forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

"Ha-! This feels so good!"

With Mrs. Huo Qi's permission, Maka got the opportunity to fly at a low altitude. He applied for this after a lot of effort, and he is feeling great at the moment!

The strong wind rushed towards Maka's face, whining past Maka's ears and blowing his robes. Under Maka's control, the broom led him to dash left and right, looking like a flying bird.

Shark dashing through the water.

Although this shark is a bit too close to the "bottom".

"Be careful—! Slow down! Slow down! Quick, do as I say—!" Mrs. Huo Qi shouted from below, but Maka's ears were filled with the sound of wind and she could not hear anything.

After a while, Maka, who was so addicted, finally slowed down. He suddenly pulled the broom handle and turned around, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

Before landing, Maka noticed something was wrong with Mrs. Huo Qi's face, and he immediately understood where the problem lay - in the second half of the test flight, his speed seemed to be too fast.

Even though these brooms are cheap for practice, and some of them seem to have some messy problems, they are still qualified products and are not children's toys for children.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo Qi," Maka lowered her head and apologized immediately after landing. "I was a little carried away. I didn't expect that this flying feeling would be so great, so I didn't notice it for a moment."

Mrs. Huo Qi stared at Maka for a while, then sighed and said: "I just said you have to take it step by step... However, you fly well. After studying "Quidditch Safety Precautions" carefully, maybe

It allows you to fly a few more times.”

"...I believe you will find that falling in love with Quidditch is a right choice!"

This is Mrs. Hooch, who is so strict, fair and responsible towards everyone and everything, and most importantly - she loves Quidditch from the bottom of her heart.
