Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Hearing Malfoy's words, Harry couldn't help but nod in agreement. Although his [Spirit Flash] looked like just a pendant, it possessed a unique aura, visible even to the naked eye, setting it apart from other ornaments.

“But what does that prove?” Harry still didn't understand what Malfoy was trying to say.

“How can you not understand such a simple thing?” Malfoy's eyes lit up as he imagined Harry. “The person who visited that ship might receive a legendary item as a reward!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

“Has your brain been gnawed on by Murtlap? Getting a legendary item isn't that easy. Maybe that item was given to Prefect Farley by a professor.” Ron even wanted to touch Malfoy's forehead to see if he had a fever.

“I already said, the person who gave the item to Prefect Farley wasn't a professor. That figure looked like a woman.” Malfoy tried his best to defend himself. “And haven't you heard the rumor? That ship seems to be alive!”

“Alive? What are you talking about? How could a ship possibly be alive?” Hermione rolled her eyes, speechless.

“No, it's definitely possible!” Ron refuted from the side. “Have you forgotten the Sorting Hat? It's just like it's alive.”

“Indeed, if it's Uncle Wilson, it's definitely possible for him to create living items. I've seen a talking wooden dummy at his house.” Neville chimed in.

Hearing this, Hermione's eyes widened immediately. Obviously, living objects were still shocking to a Muggle-born witch like her. Even though she had read many books, she had never heard of such a thing.

“Right!” Malfoy affirmed at this moment. “I secretly overheard Headmaster Snape talking badly about that ship behind its back. He always complained that the ship had a terrible temper and wouldn't even let him approach it!”

“So… you're saying that the legendary item was actually a reward given to Prefect Farley by that ship for some reason?” Harry seemed to understand a little at this point.

“Yes, yes!” Malfoy nodded immediately. “Haven't you heard the stories of phoenixes and unicorns? After gaining the recognition of magical creatures like phoenixes and unicorns, you can receive blessings and rewards. I guess that ship is the same! As long as you can please it, anything is possible!”

“This… isn't your imagination a little too rich? And how can you be sure that ship will acknowledge you?” Hermione could tell at this point that Malfoy was probably planning to go find that ship.

“How would I know if I don't try?” Malfoy said, then looked at Harry again. “You and I both possess legendary items, which proves that we are special. Do you want to go explore tonight with me? Maybe we can get a second legendary item!”

Ever since he obtained the fairy wand, Malfoy had always felt that he was a chosen one. The reason he approached Harry wasn't necessarily because they had a good relationship.

It was simply because Harry possessed another legendary item, which in Malfoy's eyes meant that the other party also had a mysterious connection with legendary items. Bringing him along might increase the chances of success.

Of course, due to the cooperation in the previous tactical training class, Malfoy subconsciously reduced some of his dislike for Harry and his friends, but he wouldn't admit it himself.

“But isn't this a bit too risky?” Harry looked a little hesitant. “You want to approach that ship based solely on your imagination. What if it has a bad temper and even gets angry at us?”

“And it's against the rules for lower-year students to be out at night after 8 o'clock! If we get caught, not only will points be deducted, but there will also be a violation record. I advise you to dismiss this stupid idea as soon as possible. I think it would be more appropriate to ask Professor Wilson directly about the ship.” Hermione also strongly opposed.

“Tch, I didn't expect the famous Harry Potter to be such a coward.” Malfoy glanced at them disdainfully. “Anyway, I'm definitely going to explore it. The opportunity to obtain a legendary item is right in front of me. If you don't want to fight for it, that's your problem. Just don't drool with envy when you see me get a new item.”

“Who said we're afraid?” After Malfoy said this, Ron interrupted before Harry could speak. “Let's go! But you better be telling the truth. If you play tricks on us, I won't spare you, especially since… we have Neville!”

After saying that, Ron deliberately nudged Neville beside him with his arm, and Neville knowingly clasped his hands and cracked his knuckles.

“May whoever lies turn into a Flobberworm!” Malfoy retorted stubbornly, but he still swallowed nervously after seeing Neville's sturdy figure.

After a week of getting along, these freshmen had a certain understanding of each other, and Neville's impression on everyone was that he was strong and had amazing stamina.

Among the entire first year, he was the only one who seemed calm and collected during morning exercises. In the following days, he could even run the entire course with the upperclassmen. Unless he was itching for a beating, Malfoy didn't want to provoke this scary guy.

“Okay, whoever breaks their promise turns into a Flobberworm!” Ron also responded loudly, then agreed to meet Malfoy at the boathouse at 9:30 that night before parting ways.

“Are you crazy?” After Malfoy left, Hermione looked at Ron in disbelief. “You actually believe his nonsense? Or is stupidity contagious?”

“That's a legendary item!” Ron retorted with deep obsession. “No matter how small the chance, why not try if there's an opportunity?”

“But being out at night is against the rules!” Hermione persisted. “If we get caught and points are deducted, it will affect Gryffindor's chances of winning the House Cup.”

“It seems like our house hasn't won the House Cup for many years. Even if we don't get points deducted, George and Fred alone can ruin our chances.”

Ron was very self-aware. “And this is just being out at night. George and Fred have already done it more than once. Maybe we can go back and ask them if they have any tricks.”

“Oh my god!” Hermione shook her head speechlessly, then looked at Harry with a questioning look. “You don't think this is stupid, do you? Running out on an adventure for a vague rumor?”

“But I… I'm actually a little tempted too.” Harry smiled awkwardly at Hermione. “To be honest, legendary items are really tempting. My [Spirit Flash] saved me once! If there's a chance to get another one, it seems worthwhile to take a little risk.”

These Gryffindor little lions already had a bloodline that admired adventure, and even Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with breaking the rules.

“That's right, that's right!” Ron chimed in at this moment. “I still don't have a legendary item. If what Malfoy said is true, then we'll have a big advantage.”

“You guys…” Hermione felt like she really couldn't stand these two anymore, so she could only look at Neville for help. In her impression, Neville was the most stable.

“If you're all going, I can come along to help. If we really upset that ship, I can contact Uncle Wilson. He also gave me a legendary item.” Neville said, then pulled open his clothes to reveal his metal belt buckle engraved with a lion.

“Even you have a legendary item? Uncle Wilson is really biased!” Ron glanced enviously at Neville's belt, then became even more determined to go out at night.

Hermione, who was watching the few of them from the side, was speechless at this point. How could even Neville want to join in? Is that legendary item really that tempting?

Hermione had also been to Silver Shimmering Commerce, but she was obviously more fascinated by those dazzling magic lamps and magic phonographs, and she wasn't very interested in so-called blind boxes. In her eyes, that thing was like a Muggle lottery, all a scam.

However, the other three were already immersed in their yearning for legendary items. They whispered and discussed their own or other people's legendary items and walked straight into the central courtyard.

And Hermione could only follow the few of them helplessly at this time. She really couldn't figure out what was in these boys' heads.

Next, these freshmen also ushered in their first flying lesson. Flying brooms, such magical props, obviously fascinated Harry.

At the same time, his flying talent was indeed good. Throughout the class, Harry was the first to master how to control a flying broom besides Malfoy and Ron.

However, Malfoy and Ron had been exposed to flying brooms and Quidditch before entering school because they were born into wizarding families, so they already had a certain foundation, while Harry was completely starting from scratch.

So they had a very enjoyable flying lesson, and there was even a small episode during this time.

That is, their roommate Seamus actually swiped a few 'Colorful Balls' from the previous tactical training class, so that everyone could throw them at each other while practicing flying.

And Harry showed superb flying broom control talent during this period, which even alarmed Professor McGonagall in the office.

Then, a nervous Harry was taken away by Professor McGonagall after class, and then introduced to Gryffindor Quidditch team captain Wood, and recommended him to join the team as a Seeker in the Lion House as a first year student!

However, this was actually Professor McGonagall's helpless move, because the previous best Seeker in the Lion House, that is, Ron's second brother Charlie, had just graduated, and now the Gryffindor team was in a transitional period.

In addition to being a Quidditch fan, Professor McGonagall herself was also a Quidditch player, and in her last year at Hogwarts, in the match against the Snake House, she was seriously injured and fell heavily from the air due to a malicious foul by her opponent, causing her to faint and break her ribs.
