Chapter 80: Wizard's Broom

"Merlin, why is this? Because it's strange enough?"

Confusion appeared in Jia Siting's light gray eyes.

At this moment, a violent wind came from outside the window, blowing the magical lantern Jia Siting hung on the wall until it swayed uncontrollably.

He poked Sean and Hermione, only then waking them from their immersion.

Hermione frowned slightly, pouting, and was about to say something,

but saw the dumbfounded Jia Siting, his hand pointing outside the window.

Beside the ancient city wall enclosed on three sides, a figure flew toward the castle like lightning,

sweeping past the open fan-shaped arched window, bringing up a whistling gale,

the broom tip still shining in the sun.

"Because it's handsome enough... I guess I know now."

Jia Siting's murmur drifted away with the wind, but the eagerness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Don't even think about it, Jia Siting... first-year freshmen are strictly forbidden from operating brooms for flight without permission, haven't you memorized the school rules?"

Hermione's soft words shattered the blonde boy's fantasy.

"Ah?!"

Jia Siting was as stunned as a half-cut piece of wood.

"Don't tell me you came to school without understanding the school rules."

Hermione wasn't too fascinated by the senior wizard who had just flown past on a broom, instead focusing more on the dazed little badger.

"Heavens, if you haven't memorized the school rules, how can you ensure you won't violate them?"

"I don't know... I think Hogwarts wouldn't be that strict..."

Jia Siting was stunned for a moment,

he subconsciously looked at Sean,

"Sean, have you memorized the school rules?"

"Mm."

Sean's nod made Jia Siting's gaze go completely dim.

In fact, to ensure he could definitely stay at Hogwarts, Sean even memorized the school rules backward.

Hermione was right, first-year young wizards are forbidden from riding brooms without permission, but it would be different if they had Madam Hooch's permission.

Although not many first-year young wizards achieve this, there is always hope.

"Truly... hold this."

Hermione placed a brown-covered book with gold patterns into Jia Siting's arms, which was filled with precise notes.

The little badger's dim eyes brightened again.

He held *Hogwarts: A History* and heard Hermione whisper "Dummy."

"Also, wizards using magical brooms is not for showing off..."

Hermione flipped *Magical Quidditch Balls* to the next page,

and the three little heads huddled together again.

【Experience from ancient times has let wizards understand,

if their Muggle neighbors knew all their family secrets, those Muggles would try every means to utilize their abilities,

so if wizards want to possess a flying tool in their own home,

then this thing must be a cautious thing, a thing easy to hide.

Then what happened next, everyone knows very well.】

"So they chose the broom?"

Jia Siting didn't expect this answer, but soon, he nodded quite understandingly,

"If my neighbor were a wizard, I would also find it hard to control myself from wanting to know about them."

The afternoon sun slanted through the fan-shaped arched window, cutting the small classroom into a warm space of light and shadow,

a few dust motes flew slowly in the light beam, like countless tiny, golden elves,

then trembled suddenly.

The three studying Quidditch were startled; the sound of knocking on the wall came from outside the door again.

"Oh! It's Ernie, if he knocks on the wall next to it, it means he will wait for me in the Great Hall later."

Jia Siting was startled awake; he whispered to call Sean,

"It's about Professor Sineipu, I let Ernie and the others help,

after all, Mother said, the power of unity is always strong."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, then the two said goodbye to Hermione and walked out of the classroom.

Jia Siting also added:

"Hermione, don't worry, I won't tell anyone the location of the classroom, after all, this is our secret!

I promise..."

Hermione, who was immersed in reading, seemed not to care about this at all, only after Sean and Jia Siting left,
