MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 28 Hufflepuff's Broomstick Lesson
"How does Delphispender explain it!"
Auston asked eagerly.
"This..." Snape stammered in a rare manner
"Maybe... maybe, the Sorting Hat saw some Slytherin qualities in her."
"Really? But you just said unequivocally that Slytherin would not admit a wizard from a Muggle family." Auston looked at Snape suspiciously.
The expression on Snape's face became unnatural.
"After all, you also know that the hat has its own thoughts, and no one knows what it thinks, and we can't control its thoughts." Snape's eyes looked elsewhere.
"Why would Delphi be assigned to Slytherin. Has anyone ever interfered with the Sorting Hat?"
"Of course not. It's not something ordinary wizards can do to crack the ancient magic on the Sorting Hat." Snape said firmly.
"Can't even Professor Dumbledore do it, or with the most powerful spell-breaker, Professor Snape?" Auston suspected that they must have cast some sort of magic on the Sorting Hat.
Snape was startled, "How did you know I could break the spell!"
"Haha! Don't worry, Professor Snape, I know I'm just curious." Auston gave a haha and stopped asking.
"Okay, don't continue with this question. You can go to the auditorium for dinner. I have to pack up my potion again. I don't have time to chat with you." After speaking, Snape issued an eviction order.
Auston also obediently went out. He felt that Delphi was a little strange, so he only asked this question, but he didn't expect to cause Snape to be so alarmed.
He didn't go to the auditorium, he went directly to the eighth floor to the door of Gryffindor's lounge.
Ask a Gryffindor classmate to call Hermione, who waits outside the door himself.
To be honest, he felt a little indebted to Hermione, because he was close to Delphi, and he didn't stand up and speak for Hermione in time.
After a while, Hermione came out through the fat woman portrait.
After Auston saw her, he quickly apologized
"I'm sorry, Hermione, I promised Professor Snape to help him this morning."
Hermione smiled in understanding
"I was too impulsive in the morning, you know, we all hate Slytherin people."
Auston nodded silently.
"Actually, I don't have anything to do. It's just that we are going to have the first broom class in the afternoon. You have ridden on a broom again. I just want to know how to control that thing, except for sweeping the floor with it."
Auston burst out laughing
"Actually, you can also use it to sweep the floor. For wizards, it's dual-purpose." He joked.
A little joke immediately eased the embarrassment between them.
Auston also patiently explained to Hermione how to use the flying broom.
"You can only hold the handle of the broom, there is no rein on the broom, and you are not riding a horse!"
Auston felt that she and Hermione had lost their IQ together, and she always asked some inexplicable questions.
This scene made Hermione replay that afternoon at the Leaky Cauldron, and she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
After explaining for a long time, Auston's mouth was dry, and Hermione finally understood.
Alas, poor little girl, it's useless to know now that no one but Harry and Malfoy got on the broomstick in Gryffindor's first broomstick class because of Neville's accident. Auston reconsidered in his heart.

The next morning, Justin came back from the Gryffindor table during dinner in the Great Hall, and said mysteriously to his friends.
"I heard that a first-year student joined Quidditch in Gryffindor's broomstick class yesterday. He is now the secret weapon of the Gryffindor team."
Several boys were very surprised when they heard it.
"Didn't you say no to Quidditch in the first year?" Ernie said vaguely with banana pie in his mouth.
"It's written like this in the school rules, but I heard that Professor McGonagall personally found Mrs. Hooch. From the appearance, the first-year freshman joining Quidditch makes the whole team at a disadvantage, so Mrs. Hooch agreed." Justin said in a low voice.
A few boys are exhausted
"I really envy that Gryffindor guy. If only our dean could be so accommodating." Ernie sighed.
Speaking of Quidditch, Auston ushered in their first flying lesson in the afternoon, with Ravenclaw.
There are dozens of old brooms on the big lawn.
Madam Hooch, wearing a dark purple cloak, came over skillfully.
"What are you waiting for, everyone is standing next to a broomstick! Quick!"
The Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws immediately became confused. Everyone is looking for a slightly newer broom.
After about a few minutes, the little guys stood in line, each with a worn-out broom at their feet.
A group of little guys searched for a long time and couldn't find a newer broom.
Auston stood at the very edge of the last row.
Madam Hooch shouted
"Okay! Now everyone reach out and put their hand on your broom and say 'Get up'!"
The little ones did the same.
For a while, the word 'get up' resounded across the lawn of Hogwarts, but only a few obedient brooms got into the owner's hands. Auston quickly bent down and grabbed the broom handle while Mrs. Hooch was not paying attention. in hand.
After a long time, everyone successfully held the broom.
"Now, get on the broom!" Mrs. Hooch shouted again.
The little guys straddled the broomsticks obediently and carefully.
Auston, who was familiar with the road, sat firmly on the broom.
Then I heard Mrs. Hooch shouting
"Remember! It must be after hearing my whistle and then kicking on the ground with both feet and flying off the ground!"
"I heard there was a Gryffindor yesterday who broke his arm early in the flight." Auston heard a Ravenclaw boy beside him whispering to his friend~www.novelbuddy.com ~ Can only fly five feet high! Next! Listen to my password! said Mrs. Hooch. "Three two one!" "
As soon as the whistle sounded, several people on the ground flew up, and the fastest one was Auston.
Although this broken broom is not as fast as the Nimbus 2000, he hasn't ridden a broom for a long time, and he doesn't mind even if it is slower.
The thrust of the upward thrust enveloped Auston, causing him to forget that Mrs. Hooch only flew five feet high.
The broom was still rising with Auston, and Auston's ears were buzzing with the whizzing wind, and he flew higher and higher with excitement. Gradually rushed into the clouds.
Only then did he react, it's over! Violation of the rules!
He hurriedly turned his broom and flew down. After he got out of the clouds, he saw how far he was from the ground, and even the huge Hogwarts Castle had turned into a small strip.
Suddenly, two black shadows passed by him and fell down.
After Auston carefully identified it, he was shocked.
That's a person!
It was a little boy in Ravenclaw robes, and his broom fell with him.
Such a high distance will kill him!
Auston didn't think much, and drove his broom to dive down quickly.
Gradually, the distance between the two of them became shorter and shorter.
"Ten meters, five meters, three meters..." Auston counted the distance between the two of them little by little.
Finally, at the moment he was closest to him, Auston stretched out his arms. He stopped him by the waist and stuck him under his arm, and continued to rush to the ground!
After Auston stopped firmly on the lawn, he let go of the boy, and the broom that fell from the sky also landed at the same time, slammed and fell to pieces.
