"Was that the spell to open this map? I'm a little curious, how did you discover that spell?" Puni asked.
"We didn't know at first either."
"There was a time when a senior student made us make an oath."
“We solemnly swear that we have not done anything good.”
"When we got back, we found that the parchment had changed."
Chapter 36 Mrs. Hodge's Troubles
Puni nodded.
The fact that they were able to create this map actually speaks volumes about the abilities of the four raiders from Gryffindor.
Moon-shaped face, large feet, pointed fork, and insect tail.
The four who used to cause trouble everywhere in Gryffindor are now all living in a mess.
They were either captured and imprisoned in Azkaban, or turned into rats and kept as pets in other people's homes, or lived a miserable life of poverty.
Oh, and one of them is already dead.
Looking back, their mockery and teasing weren't just pranks; they were genuinely bullying, publicly humiliating, and bullying Snotty.
Now he has achieved great success, not only being a Potions Master himself, but also the decisive and authoritative headmaster of one of the four houses of Hogwarts.
Indeed, one should not take advantage of one's success to harm others; if one does too many bad things, one will eventually suffer the consequences.
"Even I would buy something worth ten or even twenty gallons with a few gallons and make a profit, rather than just stealing it from someone else."
Puni couldn't help but feel grateful, thinking that his kindness would surely bring him good fortune.
He smiled with satisfaction.
Since I'm the spokesperson for the Holy Light, I should be kind.
Puni drank a stamina potion overnight and wasn't sleepy at all, but the Weasley twins were exhausted after taking Puni out all night.
"My God, how do you have so much energy?"
"We need to go back and catch up on some sleep; we have class tomorrow!"
The Weasley twins quickly said goodbye to Penny and slipped away.
Puni shrugged and didn't go back to the lounge.
He wandered around the campus by himself.
Even when it was almost time, he didn't wash up. Instead, he used a cleansing product on himself and then went to the cafeteria.
Today's first lesson is a flight lesson.
Puni was somewhat interested, even though he had already learned to fly, but his classmates were incredibly excited.
“Hey, Puni, you’re up really early. I woke up early this morning and you were nowhere to be found.” Eddie came over.
"Yeah, you get up without making a sound!" Roger laughed.
“Puni must be worried about waking us up! He’s such a nice guy!” Marcos said righteously.
Puni remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
"Today is flight class. I heard that we only have this class in the first year. It's a real shame. I wonder what kind of outdoor classes the older students have. I really don't want to sit in the classroom all day!" Marcos sighed.
“Hogwarts has quite a few outdoor classes. You can choose some when there are elective courses later,” Puni said.
"Good morning, Puni!" Qiu Zhang came over to greet him.
"Good morning." Puni smiled at her.
The course began soon.
Mrs. Hodge led the group of young wizards who were about to attend class to a grassy area near the Forbidden Forest.
The area here is very spacious, and because it is close to the Forbidden Forest, the grass grows lush and soft, so even if these young wizards fall, they will have better cushioning.
The sunlight today is so bright it's like it's been washed clean, the breeze is soft on my skin, and the air is filled with the scent of grass and faint floral fragrance.
Puni turned his head to look.
Not far away lies the deep and mysterious Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
The trees are lush and verdant, casting dappled shadows under the clear sky.
On the meadow in the woods, tiny flower fairies flutter their translucent wings as they rise and fall, while grass sprites hide among the leaves and flowers, singing softly.
Their singing drifted over on the wind, and it sounded quite nice.
"Everyone, gather here, stand still, and don't move around!"
Mrs. Huo Qi's voice came through.
The young wizards who came to class walked to the more than twenty brooms placed on the grass.
This class is still a combined house class, with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff participating.
The young wizards arrived excitedly, only to be disappointed when they saw the worn-out brooms at their feet.
"Are we going to ride it and fly?"
"Yeah, could it be that they can't carry us at all?"
"It's also possible that it will fall down as soon as it goes up!"
The young wizards were all complaining.
"Stop your chatter! Don't make me feel like I'm teaching a bunch of chicks that need to be fed!"
Madam Hooch had the two colleges stand in separate rows, while she stood at the very front of everyone.
"Flying lessons aren't difficult; you just need to be safe and cautious enough!"
"Now, place your right hand above the brooms at your feet, feel your magic, and then say it out loud!"
Puni didn't speak, but instead raised his hand and gestured.
The old broom that was placed at his feet obediently floated into the air and he grasped it.
The other young wizards shouted in unison.
Some people succeed immediately, like Qiu Zhang.
Some people called out several times but still didn't succeed, like Marcos.
"Get up! Get up now! Get up, get up, get up!"
Marcos felt embarrassed by Puni's gaze, his cheeks flushed, and his speech became increasingly rapid.
The more he called out, the less the broom responded.
Puni couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you waking someone up? Don't be in such a hurry. Calm down and feel the flow of magic within your body."
Marcos swallowed hard, forcing himself to calm down and ignore the fact that almost everyone else had already succeeded.
"stand up!"
This time, the broom finally moved.
“Excellent! I’m glad to see that none of you are laughing at each other, but are helping one another!”
Madam Hooch opened her mouth, "Now, I'm going to teach you how to ride a broom. Be extremely careful and keep your movements correct, otherwise you're very likely to fall from a great height. In that case, you won't even need the 'shatter to pieces' spell; you'll be truly shattered to pieces!"
Lady Hodge began demonstrating the riding motion to the twenty or so young wizards in front of her.
Every year when new students start school, she, the flight instructor, is the one who has the biggest headache.
Young wizards raised in magical families are better off, as they are more or less taught by their parents.
Those Muggle wizards, who had never experienced flying on broomsticks before, were always incredibly excited.
The more excited you are, the more likely you are to reduce your attention and judgment.
This meant that she always had to keep a close watch on the little wizards flying around in the sky, constantly watching out for any who might fall and then catch them safely.
It's fine if you only teach one college at a time.
With two colleges having combined classes and about twenty people flying around in the air, she had to put in even more effort to keep a close eye on them at all times!
"Sigh, I think I really need to get a new pair of reading glasses." After demonstrating the movements, Mrs. Hooch looked at the flushed, excited faces of the young wizards who were itching to take flight on the spot and sighed inwardly.
She even teaches freshmen every year!
Chapter 37 I don't want everyone to lose their flying lessons because of a competition.
Mrs. Hooch stood in the center of the lawn, slowly put away her wand, let out a long sigh of relief, and her tense expression finally relaxed a bit.
She glanced at all the students present, carefully checking them over and over until she saw that everyone was standing steadily on the ground without any falls or scrapes, before she was completely relieved.
She had just finished teaching all the basic flight maneuvers step by step, and she had been worried that some new students might get injured due to improper operation. Now it seems that everything went smoothly.
But this peace lasted only a moment before it was broken by a sudden proposal from Puni.
Puni took a step forward, his face showing a hint of eagerness. His voice reached Mrs. Hooch's ears clearly as he said expectantly, "Mrs. Hooch, now that we've learned the basic moves, why don't you be the referee and rescuer? Let's have a broom race here! If any student accidentally falls off their broom, you just need to cast a levitation spell to ensure their safety."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hooch's face immediately darkened, her brows furrowed, and her expression became extremely unpleasant. She never expected that the one who made such a risky suggestion would be a Ravenclaw student!
In her mind, the Ravenclaw eaglets were always calm and rational, focused on knowledge and wisdom. Such impulsive and reckless thoughts were something that only the Gryffindor lion cubs would have.
However, if it were a Gryffindor student, they probably would have started the competition long ago without her consent, and they wouldn't bother to ask for her permission. They wouldn't care about getting hurt at all.
Before Mrs. Hooch could refuse, Puni added, his words clear and to the point: "Madam, you see, we don't have flight lessons in our second year, and first-year students not only have fewer classes each week, but they are also not allowed to join the school's Quidditch team."
"But many of us want to join the Quidditch team in our second year, which requires us to practice our flying skills and accumulate practical experience in advance."
"This game will not only help us get used to handling the broom, but also serve as an informal training session, which will be of great help to us when we join the Quidditch team in the future."
Mrs. Huo Qi stood there, lost in thought.
What Puni said does make some sense. It's not a bad thing for freshmen to want to practice their flying skills and gain experience.
Moreover, with her acting as referee and paramedic on the sidelines, as long as she keeps a close eye on things, there shouldn't be any serious injuries.
