Chapter 41: Golden Snitch

Damn, so that was the plan. No wonder she stood up to speak for me.

Then Ron also threw a knowing look at Chu Yang, and Harry just smiled shyly.

After everyone left, Neville scurried to Chu Yang, with tear stains on his chubby cheeks, "Chu Yang, you helped me again. I don't know how to thank you."

Chu Yang just wanted to say some polite words, but Neville said embarrassedly, "If you can teach me how to fly, I will be even more grateful to you."

Chu Yang: "..."

Madam Hooch, who returned to the teaching building to get things, happened to run into Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, where are you going?"

"I was just about to find you, Madam Hooch."

Madam Hooch asked quite unexpectedly, "Is there anything you want from me?"

Professor McGonagall asked impatiently, "I noticed the flying class on the playground just now. What's going on with Chu Yang's weird flying posture? Is it your latest invention?"

Madam Hooch waved her hand hurriedly and denied, "That was an accident, caused by Chu Yang accidentally."

Professor McGonagall shook her head, "I saw him flying quite well in the sky. The flying broom was controlled very skillfully by him. It doesn't look like a simple accident."

Madam Hooch hesitated for a while and smiled lightly, "Perhaps it's because he has good talent. Some people are like this. The flying broom is like a part of their body in their hands, and they can use it very naturally without deliberate learning."

Professor McGonagall agreed with this statement.

But she felt that Chu Yang was still a more special existence than those examples. After all, Chu Yang had already shown many unusual traits before.

After a while, Madam Hooch came back with a box, accompanied by Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall didn't say anything, but stood aside and watched Madam Hooch's teaching quietly.

Madam Hooch enjoyed the atmosphere at the beginning of the flying class. Everyone was full of curiosity and desire, but as the course continued, many people would give up and rot.

Learning to fly has a threshold.

And flying well requires higher talent and a lot of time investment.

Wizards now won't waste too much energy on flying brooms. After all, it is neither as low-threshold as Floo powder, nor as fast and convenient as 【Apparition】.

As a means of transportation that has been eliminated by the magical world, if it weren't for the popularity of Quidditch matches, flying brooms would have been swept into the dustbin of history by time.

After everyone gradually mastered some essentials, Madam Hooch prepared to release the Golden Snitch, reminding the students that they could try to chase it back later.

Except for Chu Yang, Hermione, and Harry who had never seen a game, the other students were exceptionally excited, including Ron and Neville.

Who didn't have a dream of being a Seeker under the influence of their parents when they were young? Although this is not an official match, it is the closest time for little wizards to their dreams.

That's why everyone was so excited.

But the painting style changed strangely afterward...

A group of freshmen stepped on their respective flying brooms, with eager expectations on their faces, shouting "Up! Up! Up!"

As a result, the flying brooms did fly up, but everyone was thrown into a mess, without exception.

Only then did everyone realize how difficult it is to maintain balance while standing on a flying broom! "You can actually stand on it and fly, it's incredible!" Lavender Brown climbed up from the grass holding her butt, looking at Chu Yang with a sad face, still muttering in her mouth.

"What kind of special training did you go through? Otherwise, you must have worked in a circus before!" Dean Thomas really couldn't understand and looked at the broom in his hand blankly.

"Hey! I don't believe you can fly a second time, you will fall off the broom like us!" Pansy Parkinson, who was willful, mocked Chu Yang directly.

The point-deduction trio and Neville also fell heavily to the ground like everyone else. Ron even rolled to Chu Yang's feet. The moment the two looked at each other, embarrassment spread in the air.

Chu Yang coughed a few times, then stepped on the broom. Everyone focused their eyes on him, while Madam Hooch and Professor McGonagall stared at the flying broom under his feet, feeling the magic fluctuations coming from it.

The broom floated slowly, and Chu Yang stood steadily on it, without any sign of falling.

"He succeeded!" Daphne shouted with joy, and then was quickly covered by Pansy, who looked at her angrily.

"Mr. Chu Yang, how on earth did you do it?" Madam Hooch and Professor McGonagall stepped forward, shocked and very puzzled.

Chu Yang explained, "Maybe it's because I have a good sense of balance by nature. I don't think standing on a broom is very strenuous."

Madam Hooch looked suspiciously at the flying broom Chu Yang was stepping on, then threw her broom at her feet, intending to try it too.

The next second, she stumbled and fell off the broom, decisively dispelling the idea. This is not a posture that ordinary people can try.

Madam Hooch shook her head at Professor McGonagall, who was equally curious, and a faint disappointment appeared on the latter's face.

Madam Hooch reminded the students in a teasing tone, "Everyone had better choose the conventional posture. Standing on a broom to fly seems to have become Mr. Chu Yang's privilege."

After seeing Chu Yang's special flying posture, changing back to the conventional posture made the first-year freshmen feel a little uncomfortable.

But there is no way, only those who have tried know how difficult it is. You not only have to maintain balance, but also ensure the influence of magic on the flying broom.

Magic is a part of the body. If the body cannot maintain a stable state, magic will naturally be affected.

After changing to the conventional posture, the moment Harry rode the broom, he flew up smoothly and circled in the air with ease.

"Whoever can catch this Golden Snitch, I will give it to him as a souvenir!" Madam Hooch took the opportunity to release the Golden Snitch and made a promise!

With a "whoosh," Harry rushed out, his speed leaving an afterimage in the air.

At the same time, Chu Yang also rushed out!

Following closely behind Harry, chasing the Golden Snitch! Chu Yang didn't care much about whether he could catch this little thing, he just wanted to try how fast he could fly like this.

While other students were still barely floating, the two had already started a fierce chase for the Golden Snitch!

Whether it was Harry or Chu Yang, they were flying over Hogwarts very skillfully, not at all like novices trying to fly for the first time.

Professor McGonagall, who originally intended to leave, lit up, her expression a little excited. As the head of Gryffindor, most of her attention was on Harry.

Gryffindor happened to be missing a qualified Seeker, and Harry's performance looked very promising.
