Chapter 14 Flying Lessons!
Unlike the loli vaguely regretting not buying owls, Liu Jiecao was still not moved at all even though he saw others using owls.
Not all students have owls, but in fact only some students have owls.
Harry hadn't received any letters since the last text from Hagrid. Needless to say, Malfoy soon noticed this. Malfoy's owls often brought him big bags of candy from home, and he always took them apart at the Slytherin's dining table.
An owl brought him a small package from Neville's grandmother. Neville opened it excitedly and showed everyone a glass ball as big as a marble, which seemed to be filled with white smoke.
"It's a memory ball!" he explained, "Grandma knows I always have no memory - it will tell you if there is something you forgot to do. Look, you hold it tightly, like this, if it turns red - oh..."
His face suddenly elongated because the memory ball suddenly turned red, "You just forgot something..."
Neville desperately recalled what he had forgotten. At this moment, Draco Malfoy passed the dining table in the Gryffindor Courtyard and snatched the memory ball from him.
Harry and Ron jumped up. For some reason, they were somewhat hoping to fight Malfoy.
However, Professor McGonagall was always more keen to detect something wrong than other teachers, and she appeared in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
"Malfoy snatched my memory ball, Professor."
Malfoy had a gloomy face and quickly threw the memory ball back to the table.
"Wait and see." He said that, and then he slipped away, followed by Crab and Goll.
Seeing this, Liu Jiecao had to sigh that Malfoy was awkward.
In fact, Malfoy wanted to be friends with Harry Potter than anyone else. He had an advantage over others from the beginning. He met Harry early in Diagon Alley and had a conversation.
However, Malfoy may have been born in a pure blood family, and he has almost no friends. The two behind him are just followers and have no opinions of his own.
Therefore, Malfoy is not very good at saying beautiful words, and Ron has become Harry's friend first. Malfoy targeted Ron out of jealousy, so he directly pointed himself at the opposite side of Harry.
Just like now, Malfoy attracted Harry's attention by bullying Neville, and he even probably didn't know why he did this.
Since then, the conflict between Malfoy and Harry has gradually become a big conflict, which has turned the two into a complete opposition.
Even in the end, many people betrayed the school and Harry because of Voldemort, but Malfoy stood firmly on Harry's side in the end. It can be seen that this person is not a bad heart, but just a child with awkward personality.
This is the world. If you treat it as a friend, others may not follow you to the end. If you treat it as an enemy, you may stand by your side the most firmly in the end.
True love will only be seen in times of distress, this is reality.
Harry actually didn't understand at all. He forced Malfoy, who "had been a child as an idol" to become his enemy.
If he had considered Malfoy's mood more, it would not have turned into the current situation in the end. Although his friends might not have regarded it as, they would not have become enemies.
After all, it was actually just Malfoy and Ron at the beginning. The conflict between the two pure-blood families had nothing to do with Harry. Harry was just excited about being able to make new friends, so he turned to Ron too far. He directly denied Malfoy, who scolded Ron, and finally took action, directly forcing Malfoy, who had originally come out of kindness but messed up because he was not good at speaking, and turned it into an opposition.
I have to say that they are all children, and only children are so simple. Good is good and bad is bad. When everyone becomes an adult, good or bad is not so clear. Many adults smile in front of each other but plot behind their backs, that is the most terrifying thing. The current scene is just a child’s play.
At 3:30 that afternoon, Harry, Ron, Liu Jiecao and other students from Gryffindor hurried down the steps and came to the ground in front of the door to prepare for their first flight class.
It was a clear and breeze day. When they walked down the sloped grass and walked towards a flat lawn opposite the site, the grass was slightly waved at their feet. On the other side of the lawn was the forest, and the black trees in the distance were swaying in the wind.
The Slytherin students were already there, and twenty flying brooms were neatly arranged on the ground. Harry once heard Fred and Joe Cha Weasley complain about the flying brooms at school, saying that some brooms would tremble when you fly too high, and some would always turn slightly to the left.
At that time, not only Harry heard this, but Liu Jiecao and his friends also heard it together. Compared to the 2,000 light wheels I bought, the school's flying broom would naturally not be in the eyes of them.
Their teacher, Mrs. Huo Qi, came. She had short gray hair and her eyes were yellow, like an eagle's eyes.
"Okay, what are you all waiting for?" she sternly said, "Everyone stands next to a flying broom. Hurry, hurry up, hurry up."
Liu Jiecao glanced at his flying broom speechlessly. It was broken and old, and some branches poked out in a row, almost to be thrown away by him.
The lolittle around him all had bitter faces and had no choice but to hold this kind of rag in their hands.
"Stretch out your right hand and put it above the broom handle." Mrs. Huoqi shouted in front, "and said: 'Get up!'"
"Get up!" everyone shouted.
Harry's broom jumped into his hands immediately, but there were only a few such obedient brooms. Among these few, Liu Jiecao and his friends had them all. After all, they had practiced at home. They knew that the focus of the flying broom was the mental power emitted by the user being guided by the flying broom, which influenced and controlled the flying broom through this mental power. The flying broom has a simple intelligent system that can help the user fly, provided that you have to make the flying broom obedient.
Hermione Granger's broom just rolled on the ground, while Neville's broom didn't move at all.
In fact, the broom is like a horse, and you can see your inner timidity. Neville's voice trembled slightly, which obviously means that he hopes to stand firmly on the ground.
Then, Mrs. Huoqi demonstrated to them how to ride a broom without sliding down from her head. She walked around the team and corrected their hand grip. Harry and Ron heard her criticism of Malfoy for not doing anything wrong. She couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Liu Jiecao sighed secretly. Malfoy's mistake on the broomstick made Harry and Ron smile, but would Malfoy not see it? This is another cause and effect that intensified the conflict between them.
"Okay, as soon as I whistle, you will kick your legs and leave the ground, and you will kick hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Hold the broom firmly, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground. Listen to my whistle-three-two-two-
However, Neville was too nervous, afraid of being left on the ground, so he kicked hard without waiting for the whistle to touch Mrs. Huo Qi's lips.
"Back, boy!" shouted Mrs. Huoqi, but Neville rose straight up like a cork sprayed out of the bottle-twelve feet-twenty feet.
Liu Jiecao saw Navig's frightened voicelessly. His pale face looked at the ground that was moving away quickly below. He saw him breathing with his mouth wide open, sliding down from the side of the broom handle, and then fell with a "bang", and a violent impact. Navig was lying face down in the grass on the ground, shrinking into a ball. His flying broom was still rising higher and higher, and then began to slowly float towards the Forbidden Forest and disappeared.
Mrs. Huoqi bent down and looked down at Neville, her face as pale as Neville's.
"The wrist is broken." Liu Jiecao heard her whisper, "Okay, child - it's okay, you get up."
She turned to the rest of the class and said, "I'll send this kid to the hospital, and no one of you is allowed to move! Put the broom back in its original place, otherwise, you will be driven out of the Hogwarts gate without waiting for you to say 'Quidditch'. Let's go, my dear."
Na Cheng had tears on his face. He grabbed his wrist and limped away with Mrs. Huo Qi. Mrs. Huo Qi put his arm around him.
As soon as they left, Malfoy burst into laughter.
"Did you see his face, that silly guy?" The other Slytherin students also echoed.
Liu Jiecao knew that this was actually Malfoy's revenge for Harry and Ron's previous ridicule. Who made Neville get too close to Harry and Ron, or in the same dormitory?
The same was true in the restaurant last time. Who made Neville more likely to bully and become the weakness of those two people than Ron and Harry themselves?
"Shut up, Malfoy." Parvati Pettier snapped.
"Wow, protect Longbottom?" said Pansipa Kinson, a Slytherin girl with an ugly appearance. "I didn't expect you to like the chubby little tears, Pettier."
"Look!" Malfoy said, rushing over to grab something on the ground, "it was brought to him by the grandmother of the fool Longbottom."
He held up the memory ball, which glittered in the sun.
"Take it, Malfoy." Harry whispered. Everyone stopped talking and stared.
Malfoy grinned uglyly.
"How about I want to put it in a place and let Longbottom pick it up--place it on a tree?"
"Take it!" Harry shouted, but Malfoy had already jumped on his broom and took off. His words were not bragging before - he did fly well.
He slung at a height parallel to the top of an oak tree and shouted, "Come here and get it, Potter!"
Liu Jiecao looked at his loli, and shook his heads, not going to intervene. From an adult perspective, they all saw that Malfoy wanted to attract Harry's attention more than revenge.
