Chapter 59: 59. Flying Lessons

The next day flying lessons were conducted in the morning after breakfast. All the houses were present with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw as one group, Gryffindor another group and the Slytherins the last group.

Slytherins were somewhat subdued with the 4 boys standing separately. Even Crabbe and Goyle were not ready to stand together. No one from their house was openly making fun of them but everyone could feel an awkward tension there.

Malfoy was gritting his teeth in anger looking at Harry and his group while Nott jr. was staring coldly with a sinister look on his face.

Harry didn't need to read their minds to know that they blamed Harry for everything, it is not like they could say it openly as they had no proof.

Soon Madam Hooch came with her bird like yellow eyes. When she told them to say 'up' to summon the brooms to their hands, Hermione's and Daphne's broom instantly appeared on their hands. As for Harry, he didn't even needed to say anything and the brrom leapt up into his hands. Harry made sure that the scene was captured by madam Hooch. Just like in the canon, Neville fell off his broom and dropped his remembrall.

Harry could have indeed saved him, but he needed these events to play out. Moreover he knew that Neville will not be in any life threatening danger, so he did not feel much guilt.

Just like in the canon, Draco picked up the remembrall.

"Look here. What I found.." He said with a cruel grin. Harry knew that events will play out a little different from the canon because of the previous day's incident, so instead of waiting for Draco to speak anymore, Harry stepped forward and spoke.

"Ah. Draco.. You are so hardworking! , Even during the classes you are searching for things from the grounds. Now I understand how your daddy became so rich. It much be in the blood.." Harry knew he was being cruel to Draco but he didn't feel bad for him. Lucius and Narcissa had spoild him so much that he started believing that he is above all.

"Potter.. Don't think we don't know who was responsible for yesterday.. You have made enemies worse than your parents and your ending will also be worse than them." Nott jr. spoke coldly.

"Wait a moment, you think I was responsible for that disgusting.. I mean peculiar incident yesterday? Trust me I too was shocked to know that you you guys swing that way. By the way, Let me make it clear gays.. I mean guys.., I am a perfectly straight man, that means I only feel attracted to females." Harry said as if he was really innocent.

" Haha.. Perfectly said.." Ronal Weasley said while laughing loudly.

Malfoy was so enraged that without saying anything else, he whipped out his wand. He fired slug vomiting spell that came out as a jet of green light.

Harry calmly took a step back and dodged the spell easily and then leaned to his right a little as a stunnuer in the form of a jet of red light passed by.

"What more can I expect from you. Hiding behind and attacking sneakily like a coward." Harry said looking towards Nott jr., who had fired the stunner, with a sneer on his face.

All the other three houses took out their wands to beat Slytherins, who also took out their wands and stood behind Draco and Nott.

" Step back.. This does not concern you guys. As if their spell can even touch my robes." How could Harry let them fight.. After all he was doing all that for a specific reason and he couldn't have them ruin his show.

Hermione and Daphne obviously knew what Harry wanted to do, so they stopped everyone from interfering.

" Your arrogance will be your downfall Potter. With their support we would indeed be helpless but do you really think you can take us all on your on.." Theodore said with a sneer.

" Haha.. Little Theo.. Talk after you have won, otherwise I too can boast myself to be the hair of Slytherin. " Harry's words truly angered them. Theodore understand the jab, he understood that Harry was not only mocking him, he was also mocking Voldemort who claimed himself to be the hair of Slytherin.

" Very well Potter.... Attack! Anyone who does not attack will have to endure the fury of both the Nott and Malfoy house." Harry only laughed at them as he flew between the spell.

" Haha.. Come, come.. Hit me.. If you can't hit me then you all are Gryffindor." he even had the time to taunt them while dodging their spell. Most of the spell were not really dangerous as except for Malfoy, Nott and Zabini, everyone was only using basic spells.

Seeing that they were not able to hit him, Nott took Neville's remembrall from Draco," Potter, didn't you want this back. Take it back if you can." He threw the ball high in the air.

Harry knew was he was planning but still went after the ball with full speed of the broom. Nott started throwing spell after spell on the path of the ball but Harry was still able to weave through them. Harry saw, as though in slow motion, the ball rise up in the air and then start to fall. He leaned forward and pointed his broom handle down — next second he was in a steep dive, racing the ball — wind whistled in his ears, mingled with the screams of people watching — he stretched out his hand — a foot from the ground he caught it.

Just in time to hear a loud scream from Mcgonagall. "HARRY POTTER!"
