Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

The professor in charge of teaching flight lessons was Ms. Rolanda Hodge.

Professor Hodge is known for her strict adherence to the rules, especially in the Quidditch world. She is described as a "broomstick flying and racing expert" who upholds the spirit of sports and prioritizes the safety of her students.

This is clearly a very trustworthy teacher.

Professor Hodge had short gray hair and her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

Since Gryffindor and Slytherin were having a joint class, the two groups stood facing each other on opposite sides, each with a magic broom beside them.

For some reason, Draco happened to be standing opposite Lin Yu.

Draco stared at Lin Yu, his face filled with undisguised hostility, while he silently mouthed, "You're dead."

Lin Yu scoffed dismissively; he was determined to claim the mission reward.

At this moment, Professor Hodge stood at the front of the line and said, "Extend your dominant hand, either your left or right hand, and place it above the broom while shouting 'Get up!'"

Almost everyone was not left-handed, so everyone extended their right hand.

Then everyone shouted, "Get up!"

With a "whoosh," Lin Yu's magic broom flew up and landed in his hand.

Meanwhile, Harry, who was standing next to him, also succeeded immediately.

Of course, there's also Draco on the other side. It seems Draco wasn't just bragging; he really has experience flying on a magic broomstick. He's not a newbie.

But apart from that, the others didn't have it so easy.

For example, Hermione's broom just rolled on the ground and then stopped moving.

And Neville, no matter how much he shouts, the broom doesn't budge.

Perhaps these magic brooms, like magic wands, will choose their owners?

Because Neville's voice was trembling, as if he didn't actually want to go to heaven, but rather wanted to stand firmly on the ground.

That's why his broom didn't budge, right?

Just then, there was a loud "snap".

It turned out that Ron had also made his broom fly, but unfortunately the boy failed to catch it and was hit in the face by it.

Laughter erupted all around.

"Hey," Ron said, frantically grabbing the messy broom while glancing at Harry and Lin Yu with displeasure, "at least you can't laugh at me."

They are friends.

However, what Ron didn't know was that the closer the friends, the more likely they are to cause trouble, hence the saying "the best frenemy."

After much effort, the dozen or so children finally succeeded in getting the brooms into their hands.

Professor Hock then began to impart knowledge, teaching them the correct way to ride a broom and how to hold the broom so that it wouldn't fall off halfway through the flight.

Harry listened attentively; it seemed he really took Ron's words to heart.

"Alright, now it's your turn for your first test flight. I..." Professor Huo Qi continued.

But Lin Yu suddenly interrupted, "Professor, before that, I would like to ask you to be the referee."

"Referee?" Professor Huo Qi looked at Lin Yu in confusion.

Draco, on a sudden impulse, stepped forward and said first, "I want to compete against this annoying Asian face."

Lin Yu turned his head to look. An annoying Eastern face? Although it sounded unpleasant, Draco clearly hadn't crossed his line.

At least it's not a derogatory term like "mud people" or "Chinaman."

So Lin Yu snorted coldly and didn't retort.

Draco didn't call Lin Yu "Mudblood" not because he was unusually kind-hearted, but because they were in front of a professor, and he wasn't stupid enough to give someone a handle to use against him.

"It's like this, Professor," Lin Yu briefly explained the situation, and concluded, "So Malfoy and I have a duel, which will be a contest with magical brooms. You are the perfect choice to be the referee."

Professor Huo Qi was initially reluctant to agree, after all, in her view, these freshmen were experiencing flight lessons for the first time, how could she let them run wild?

But when I heard that this was a competition and that I would be the referee, I was surprised.

Her competitive spirit couldn't be suppressed any longer, so she said, "Since you insist on having a competition, which would also set an example for the other students, I'll make an exception and allow it this time. Now, I'll announce the competition format: speed. It's about who can fly faster. You'll all take off together from here, circle around Hogwarts Castle, and the first one back here wins. Any questions?"

Lin Yu and Draco exchanged glances, neither giving an inch, and simultaneously replied, "No problem."

This is the fairest, simplest, and most direct method of competition.

They all used the school's standard brooms, so there was no difference in equipment.

The only difference might be that Draco did have experience flying on a broomstick.

But since this was a competition initiated by Lin Yu, he naturally couldn't back down.

Professor Huo Qi waved his hand, signaling the students from both colleges to step back and make room.

Professor Huo then asked the two to get ready and said, "I will count down from three. When I blow the whistle, you both push off the ground together and take off. The race will begin. Are you ready?"

Seeing that both of them nodded, Professor Huo Qi began to count down: "Three, two, one."

As she blew her whistle, Lin Yu and Draco simultaneously pushed off the ground and sprang into the air.

They actually flew into the sky using only the magical brooms they rode on?

Children from ordinary families or with different worldviews exclaimed in surprise.

Harry looked up at him with excitement and anticipation.

Only Hermione gripped her broom tightly, watching Lin Yu with concern, silently cheering him on.

Leaving aside the reactions of the children on the ground.

At first, Lin Yu wasn't quite used to it in the air, and he always felt that the broom was getting stuck in his crotch.

He also thought wickedly, "Won't the witches be even more embarrassed? Like, what if they accidentally got stuck inside?"

Then I thought about it and realized it probably wouldn't happen, since nobody rides a broomstick without a vacuum, right? Probably?

At this moment, Draco took the lead and turned around to mock Lin Yu, who was lagging behind, saying, "Is that not enough? Lin Yu, I will make you apologize to me in front of everyone, both for your outspokenness the night before last and for my father's reputation."

It turns out that Draco had never forgotten what happened on the train.

After all, Lin Yu had spoken ill of his father back then, which Draco at least considered slander.

Lin Yu responded with a cold laugh: "Stop being arrogant, Draco. Let me show you my true strength. Flying on a sword."

Suddenly, Lin Yu leaped up and landed on the broom with both feet.

Sure enough, this way it wouldn't get stuck in his crotch, otherwise his precious treasure would have been in trouble.

Draco seemed stunned by this scene, staring blankly at Lin Yu, thinking to himself, "Do we know each other that well? Why are you calling me 'Draco'?"

Is this an attempt to please oneself?

Okay, this is a cultural difference issue; he's overthinking it.
