At nine o'clock in the morning, Kyle, Hannah and the other Hufflepuff students walked down the steps and came to the field in front of the door to prepare for their first flying lesson.

It's a sunny, breezy day.

As they walked quickly down the sloping grass to a flat lawn on the opposite side of the field, the grass rippled slightly under their feet.

Beyond the lawn is the Forbidden Forest, with dark trees swaying in the wind in the distance.

Mrs. Huo Qi, the flying teacher, has been waiting there for a long time. She has short gray hair and two yellow eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

The moment he saw her eyes, a name appeared in Kyle's mind - Qolacol Mihoqi.

More than twenty broomsticks were neatly arranged on the ground.

Eagle Eye, no, Mrs. Huo Qi glanced at the little wizards.

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

Kyle lowered his head and glanced at the broom at his feet, his eyes full of disgust.

How many broom sticks can be inserted into this broken wooden pole to make it fly?

And these brooms, they are at least antiques from decades ago, right?

What guarantee can be given about its safety?

Dumbledore is also big-hearted and is not afraid that little wizards will fall to death during flying lessons every year.

"Stretch out your right hand and place it on top of the broom handle," Mrs. Hooch shouted from the front, "and say, get up!"

"Get up!" everyone shouted.

The broom at Kyle's feet immediately jumped into his hand, and the dust on it smeared his hands.

This thing must have been gathering dust in the utility room over the summer vacation!

Kyle threw it back to the ground with some disgust, took out his wand and cleaned it up. He also cleaned Hannah's broom next to it.

Hannah's broom jumped into her hand less quickly.

The broom was lying on the ground. When Hannah called it to get up, it bounced up and down symbolically, and then lay back down on the ground with a snap.

Hannah's situation is pretty good. The other little wizards don't even bother to bounce their brooms. They just look like they are lying down and motionless.

After waiting for a while, everyone's brooms finally jumped into their hands.

Mrs. Huo Qi stood in front of the team and explained to them the precautions for riding a broomstick and some flying tips.

Normally, a wizard rides a broomstick in two positions - astride and side riding.

The former is a common posture for riding a broomstick, while the latter is a posture exclusive to witches, because if you sit sideways, your posture is elegant and it is not easy to be exposed when wearing a skirt.

In this flying lesson, Kyle plans to try out some more desperate flying postures, such as broom flying.

Previously in France, due to the strict supervision of the butler, Kyle could only ride a broomstick in a straddling position, flying at a low altitude and at a low speed, swinging around for a few times before coming down.

As a veteran War Thunder player, GTA military base robber, and veteran battlefield driver, how can I be satisfied with this?

Mrs. Hooch was showing them how to get on a broom without falling off their heads.

She walked around the group, correcting their grip on the broomstick.

After a while, everyone was riding on the broomstick.

Feeling the soft touch from his butt, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the school's broomstick was in tatters. At least it had a cushion charm on it to prevent it from hurting his big baby.

"Okay, when I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard!" Mrs. Huo Qi said.

"Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and drop straight back to the ground."

"Listen to my whistle—three—two—!"

Before Mrs. Huo Qi whistled, Kyle kicked his legs violently, and the broomstick under his crotch was like an arrow, carrying Kyle and suddenly rushed dozens of meters away.

"Come back quickly! Child!" Mrs. Huo Qi shouted anxiously.

However, Kyle completely ignored her shouts.

After accelerating to a certain level, Kyle suddenly pulled the broom stick back, raising the broom head to between 110 and 120 degrees, creating a brief level flight state with the broom tail in front and the broom head behind.

Mrs. Huo Qi opened her mouth in surprise.

Kyle pushed the broomstick forward, pressing the broom head back to its original horizontal position.

After completing a beautiful Pugachev Cobra maneuver, Kyle flapped his arms excitedly and performed several more fighter maneuvers on his broomstick.

Seeing Kyle flying freely in the air like a bird, Mrs. Hoqi's eyes gradually became fiery.

Germany's Durmstrang Academy just recently produced a Quidditch genius named Viktor Krum. He was selected for the Bulgarian national Quidditch team at a young age and also served as a seeker.

A core position.

Now it seems that Hogwarts can also produce a talented Quidditch player named Kyle Dumbledore?

…

Using the magic power gathered on the soles of his feet to absorb the foothold, which is also the technique of climbing trees and treading water, Kyle stood firmly on the broom.

Such a thrilling action made the little wizards on the ground exclaim in surprise.

Even Mrs. Huo Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Hogwarts actually has a young wizard with such a talent for Quidditch?

Even the national Quidditch players can't do this move, right?

In fact, Mrs. Hooch didn't know that Kyle was able to fly on a broomstick with the help of magic power.

It was because of the concealment of the wandless spell that Mrs. Huo Qi didn't notice it.

Relying on physical ability alone, there is probably no wizard in the world who can do it.

After Kyle landed firmly, all the little wizards gathered around him.

Especially the Hufflepuff badgers all looked at Kyle with admiration.

The little blonde girl stood next to Kyle with an excited expression, as if she was the one who had just made those dazzling maneuvers in the air.

Mrs. Hooch squeezed her way out of the little wizards and came to Kyle.

She looked at Kyle with a burning look in her eyes, "Kyle, are you interested in becoming a Quidditch player?"

After thinking about it, she added, "As a professional, I can write a letter of recommendation to the Quidditch club..."

Kyle:…

You want the son of the Dark Lord, the future Third Dark Lord, to become a professional Quidditch player?

seriously?

"Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo Qi, that's not my intention." Kyle declined politely.

"Kyle, don't you think about it again? With your talent, you can definitely become a world-class star..."

"Sorry, Mrs. Hooch, I want to be a great wizard like Principal Dumbledore more than a world-class football star."

Kyle spread his hands, "But I can join the Hufflepuff Quidditch team."

Only now did Mrs. Hooch remember that the little wizard in front of her had the last name Dumbledore.

It's not surprising that Kyle would use Albus Dumbledore as a role model.

She looked at Kyle with some regret, as if she had just missed a rare treasure.

What Mrs. Hooch didn't know was that Kyle's real surname was Grindelwald.

At Hogwarts, apart from Albus Dumbledore, only the four deans of Hogwarts knew about this matter.

Quidditch Notes: (The following content is collected from Baidu)

Quidditch is an important aerial team competition sport in the "Harry Potter" series of novels. It is named after the transliteration of Quidditch. It is a ball game played by wizards riding broomsticks in the wizarding world.

Like ordinary games, it is played on a court surrounded by stands.

There are three 50-foot-tall gold poles at each end of the court, with rings on top.

Competitors are divided into two teams, each team consists of seven people, riding broomsticks to compete in the air.

Quidditch team player composition:

Keeper (1 person): Similar to the goalkeeper in a football match, his main task is to guard his own goalpost and basket and prevent the opponent's players from scoring.

Beater (2 people): The main task is to use the bat to protect their own players from Bludgers, so they usually hit Bludgers as far away from their own team as possible, and of course

Including hitting the ball towards an opposing player.

Chaser (3 people): Chasers are responsible for attacking and scoring. They will try their best to throw the Quaffle into the opponent's hoop to score points.

Seeker (1 person): An extremely important player in the game. He is responsible for catching the golden snitch, which can often turn defeat into victory for his team. Therefore, those who serve as seekers are usually the lightest and fastest flyers.

With keen eyesight and the ability to fly with one or no hands on a broom, they are also the most vulnerable players on the court.

As a ball game, Quidditch uses three different balls at the same time.

1. Quaffle: A red ball as big as a football and more like an ordinary ball is the Quaffle. The chasers pass the Quaffle to each other and try to pass it through the opponent's ring. Each time they can get 10 points.

The goalkeeper is responsible for guarding his team's ring.

2. Bludgers: Two aggressive black balls that are slightly smaller than the Quaffle are called Bludgers. They fly around on their own, always trying to knock players off their brooms, and the batter is responsible for protecting them.

Teammates are not hit by the "bludger" and they hit the opponent's player at the same time.

3. The Golden Snitch: A golden ball that is the size of a large hazelnut and has silver wings is the Golden Snitch. It flies as fast as lightning, and the job of the Seeker is to catch it.

When the Snitch is captured, the team that caught it scores 150 points, and a Quidditch match is over.

Regarding the Golden Snitch, it can be opened, but it can only be opened by the first person who touches it.

But the first person to touch it was not the maker of the snitch, for they all wore gloves when making them.

From the perspective of Quidditch's victory mechanism, Quidditch is unfair.

Since the Seeker caught the Golden Snitch, his team scored the equivalent of 15 goals and ended the game. It is difficult for other players to compare with it.

So Quidditch is often just a competition between two seekers.

So why is it so popular? Do wizards and witches watch the game just to admire the violence and fancy broomstick skills?

Actually no, Quidditch matches are always played in series.

Unless you're just playing casually in an apple orchard, every Quidditch match is part of a larger series, and the cumulative score will determine the final winner.

The Hogwarts Quidditch Cup is won by the team with the highest total score, not the team with the most wins.
