"Welcome to our first flying lesson. As we all know, flying is very important for a wizard, especially..."

As is customary, let's start with some basic science information and precautions.

After rambling on and on, having covered everything she needed to say, and seeing the eager expressions on the young wizards' faces, clearly impatient, Mrs. Hodge finally spoke:

"Alright, now everyone put your right hand above the broom and say 'start'."

Instantly, the entire grassland was filled with shouts of "Start!"

Hermione joined in, softly saying, "Rise."

Nothing happened.

Hmm... let's do it again.

"rise."

The broom rolled over once, but showed no sign of flying.

"You should get up already..." Hermione was speechless.

Hermione is almost an all-rounder, except for piloting a flying broom.

It's not that I don't understand how to use it at all, but compared to other top-tier abilities, the Flying Broom is only considered to be in the ordinary excellent category.

The mysterious magic book didn't contain this skill either, so she could only practice it slowly.

Harry, who had already summoned the broom to his palm, was quite surprised to see Hermione in this state for the first time.

Finally, on the third summons, the broom successfully rose and was held in Hermione's hand.

"Add some emotion!"

Seeing that many young wizards had not yet succeeded, Mrs. Hodge loudly reminded them.

After some effort, everyone finally succeeded in completing the summoning.

Madam Huo Qi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now, listen to my command, everyone sit on the brooms, hold on tightly, and don't slip off."

Hermione looked around at everyone sitting astride brooms and hesitated.

Wait, the broom handle is so thin, won't it get stuck in your crotch if you ride like that...?

Won't it hurt my egg?

But the next second, a sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

Yes, she'd almost forgotten, but she really wouldn't anymore...

Gan!

Even with her anger at its peak, Hermione ultimately didn't choose to ride on the broom, but instead sat sideways on it.

Seeing this, Ron leaned closer and whispered, "Hermione, Madam Hooch told us to ride..."

"Shut up!"

"Oh……"

Chapter 9 Damn it, go get him!

Ron got a scolding and shut his mouth in a huff.

Harry, who wanted to say something, wisely kept quiet.

Since the three met, Hermione had always appeared calm and composed, with no emotional fluctuations. This was the first time she had shown such an angry and embarrassed expression.

Fortunately, Madam Huoqi didn't notice this little incident. Instead, she shouted, "When I blow the whistle, you all push off the ground and take off, hold the broom steady, circle a few times after you take off, then lean forward slightly and fly back to the ground..."

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Huoqi's eyes widened.

Because she saw that Neville Longbottom had somehow become suspended several feet above the ground, swaying in mid-air.

"Mr. Longbottom, what are you doing! Get down here right now!"

Neville felt himself being lifted further and further off the ground, his face filled with panic, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "Get down! Get down!"

Unfortunately, the broom did not obey his command and instead insisted on flying even higher. In just a few minutes, it had already flown to a height of tens of meters.

Amid Neville's terrified screams, the broom flew wildly through the air like a runaway dog.

As if it were alive, it completely ignored Neville above and kept banging against the castle wall, making Neville dizzy and seeing stars.

Finally, after a chaotic flight, Neville ended up hanging from a frame above the city wall.

With a "rip," the robe could no longer bear the weight of his body and tore open, sending Neville plummeting from a height of several stories.

Instantly, a chorus of exclamations erupted from below.

The timid wizards even turned their heads away, unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

Even a wizard, whose physique differs from that of a Muggle, would be seriously injured if he fell from that height.

This is already considered a teaching accident... Hermione was speechless. If it weren't for the wizards' miraculous healing methods, which could save even those on their last breath, countless people would die every year just trying to get a driver's license.

Amid screams, Neville plummeted toward the ground. Just when everyone thought they were about to witness a tragedy, a clear voice rang out from behind them.

"Shock reduction and speed stop!"

As the spell took effect, Nawi's speed decreased sharply, and he seemed to be cushioned by some powerful force, stopping his fall and hovering less than half a meter above the ground.

Everyone paused for two seconds before realizing what was happening and turned around in unison.

Hermione was holding her wand, pointing it forward.

The accident was thus averted.

Mrs. Hooch, the humanoid robot, finally realized what was happening, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Hermione with eyes full of gratitude.

Although similar incidents often occur in flight lessons and are unavoidable, it was ultimately her fault for not taking good care of these little ones. Even if she wasn't blamed, she still felt very guilty.

But... this little guy reacted so quickly.

And is the Slowing Spell a spell that can be learned in the first year?

Judging from her skill level, even many senior students who are about to take the OWL exam are not as proficient as she is.

But considering the other party's identity, Madam Huo Qi was not too surprised.

She had also heard from other professors that a new student named Hermione Granger had joined Gryffindor this year, and that her genius was beyond imagination.

It's unbelievable that a wizard from a Muggle family could possess such talent.

Hermione broke the spell and retrieved her wand.

Neville landed on his feet with a "crack" sound.

I sprained my ankle and broke it on the spot.

Hermione's lips twitched; she felt like she had worked for nothing.

You're fucking stupid, really.

Mrs. Hodge quickly stepped forward to examine him, then shook her head and said, "Mr. Longbottom, you really have to thank Miss Granger, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just a broken bone."

Then he looked at the field and said, "You all stay where you are. I'm going to take Mr. Longbottom to the school hospital. If I see anyone fly into the sky during this time, he won't even have time to see Quidditch before he's expelled!"

After leaving a warning, Madam Hooch left with the limping Neville.

Once the two had disappeared from sight, all the Gryffindor students swarmed around Hermione, chattering amongst themselves:

"Hermione, Hermione, what was that magic you just used?!"

"So cool!"

"Where did you learn that? Could you teach us?"

"Hermione, you're amazing!"

Hermione was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the children and couldn't take it anymore, so she quickly said, "I saw them in the library, you can find them yourselves."

After saying that, he stopped talking, took a half step back, and shielded Harry Ron in front of him.

library?

Then everyone remembered that the aloof girl in front of them also had a nickname: "Library Witch".

Sure enough.

Compared to the enthusiasm of Gryffindor, Slytherin was much colder, with most of them looking displeased.

Even the few people who were somewhat interested in asking Hermione something, seeing the atmosphere around them, hesitated and gave up the idea.

Hermione saw it all and understood.

If it were anyone else, Slytherin might not have reacted this way, but the fact that a Muggle-born wizard possessed such abilities naturally made these pure-blood advocates very unhappy.

Even the access tokens for their dormitories are "pureblooded," which speaks volumes.

However, they didn't want to provoke her unless there was something wrong with them.

In recent days, there have been quite a few fools who have tried to cause trouble, but Hermione has dealt with them all with her ultimate move: telling the teacher.

Most of the professors at Hogwarts are very kind people who have no prejudice against Muggle-borns. In addition, they have a good student filter for Hermione. Anyone who is reported by her not only loses a lot of points for the house, but also receives severe punishment, making them complain bitterly.

After a few times, no one dared to cause trouble without reason anymore.
