"I'll go first!" One of the twins stepped on the broom first, kicked his feet to the ground, quickly got off the ground, and then started flying around the Quidditch pitch.
"It's okay, he can make do."
Watching his younger brother fly around the pitch, Charlie gave a simple evaluation. However, it was not difficult to see from the smile on his face that he was quite satisfied.
After all, not every first-year could fly so stably.
After the twins had a test flight, it was finally Albert and Lee's turn.
Since neither of them had formal contact with a broom, Charlie had to teach them how to fly one. He was demonstrating to the two how to ride on a broom without sliding off.
"We didn't have this kind of treatment before." The twins chattered playfully beside him, "By the way, are we really his brothers, or are they?"
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Charlie glared at the twins and began to correct Lee's handgrip.
"You only need to kick on your two legs to get off the ground. You will know how to control your strength after you try it yourself." Charlie was like a professor who taught them how to ride a broom very seriously.
It took about five minutes to understand. After Charlie explained the precautions, he asked Lee to go first. He drew out his wand to catch Lee if he fell off the broom.
Lee flew fairly smoothly.
However, he flew very slowly around the Quidditch pitch, and it took about five minutes for him to finish. When he came back to the ground, his face was full of excitement that could not be covered.
He could smoothly, thanks to his experience with a toy broom before.
"You flew well." Charlie gave a symbolic encouragement and handed the flying broom to Albert next to him.
Albert reached out and touched the broomstick.
It was smooth, without cushions.
He still remembered the magic called "cushioning charm" or shock absorption charm cast on the flying broomstick.
"What are you doing?" Charlie looked at Albert's strokes of the broomstick suspiciously, not understanding what Albert was doing.
"Nothing, I'm just looking for the cushion." Before Charlie could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Albert had already stepped on to the broom and kicked his feet off the ground hard.
Sure enough, the shock absorption charm existed.
There was a layer of a very soft material separating Albert from the broomstick. It felt like sitting on a soft cushion.
Well, if you insisted on describing it, it was a bit like riding a bicycle.
As he flew on the broomstick, the air immediately blew up Albert's robe, making it hull and flutter behind him-Albert felt that his mood had never been so happy, and even forgot his embarrassing posture. Following Charlie's instructions, he slowly raised the broom head to go higher.
Albert glanced down. He was about 10 feet above the ground.
Fortunately, he didn't have a fear of heights.
Albert grabbed the broomstick with one hand and slowly leaned forward. The broom began to move forward, just like the first time he rode a toy broomstick. Albert flew very slowly, slower than Lee, but he still enjoyed the fun of flying.
Charlie below was very surprised. He didn't think that Albert would adapt to flying all at once. Some first-years who hadn't touched a broom would panic as soon as they flew in the air.
Albert was a muggleborn who had been exposed to brooms for the first time, and it only took a few minutes for him to achieve this level of flying, which was considered very good.
Albert, who was flying in the air, no longer wanted to crawl slowly after adapting to his current flying speed. He opened the skill list and upgraded his flying skill (broom) to level 1.
Albert seemed to learn instantly. He leaned forward as if he had touched an acceleration switch, and the speed of his broom suddenly became faster.
The oncoming wind made him squint.
His body leaned forward following his instinct, and the speed accelerated a little. The line of sight in front was receding rapidly, and Albert felt that his heart would jump out of his chest at any time.
The feeling of flying was great!
At this moment, Albert finally understood why wizards liked this kind of game.
Adrenaline!
Just like why some people like racing.
Albert rode the broom around the Quidditch field several times, and he flew faster and faster, almost reaching the limit of the Cleansweep.
The four people below opened their mouths in surprise, and they almost stared blankly.
"You flew well!"
A few minutes later, Charlie stuttered at Albert when he landed. He felt incredible. He witnessed the growth of this first-year. From slow to fast, gradually adapting to the sport(flying).
His talent was amazing!
Albert got used to flying a broom in a few minutes!
Standing next to the twins, Lee looked at Albert with a complex expression. He originally thought he was flying well, but he didn't expect to see Albert break common sense.
Of course, if he knew that Albert had upgraded his flying skills (broomstick) to level 1 to enjoy his speed, he would not think so.
"Sorry, I flew for too long." Albert immediately apologized to Charlie after getting off the broom.
Having said that, it felt really good to fly a broomstick.
"You are very talented in this aspect." Charlie slapped Albert on the shoulder. "You are all very talented. You should consider being a reserve player for the team. If you have time, you can participate in training together."
Charlie was very satisfied with today's investment, both Fred and George, and their two friends were very talented in flying.
The twins were happy when they heard this.
"We don't have our own brooms." Albert reminded.
"It doesn't matter, you can borrow the broomstick from the school." Charlie comforted, "You can explore the game before deciding your position. However, I need to clear one thing first."
Charlie cleared his throat and said, "If you want to become real Quidditch players, you still need to rely on your own ability to pass next year's player selection. I will not help or recommend you in any way."
"We understand." Fred blinked.
"Well, it's good to know." Charlie was very satisfied with this. He was going to train these few people and gift them to the future team of Gryffindor.
