"So, I really find it hard to accept that he would be so glamorous and Chu Chu."
Krum sighed; the excitement and joy he had just felt vanished completely in the face of the cold reality.
"But you have to understand, the one who appears before you is not the Grindelwald you know," Phoebe comforted her. "The one from our world is still in prison, just like you just said."
"Yes, that's good." Krum perked up, ready to talk about other things. "What do you think the Flying Class will be like?"
"What's there to talk about?" Phoebe tossed her hair.
("What do you mean there's nothing to talk about?" Ron incredulously. "This is Flying Class! Flying Class in another world are so cool!")
("Hmph, boys." Hermione scoffed, but glancing at Basil, she didn't continue her sarcastic remarks.)
"What do you mean there's nothing to talk about?" Harry said almost simultaneously with Ron. "This is Flying Class!"
(Ginny snorted softly, realizing at that moment that if Ron were a woman, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to be with Harry at all.)
Krum nodded. "Yes, that's flying. What do fairies use to fly? Brooms? Flying Carpet? Or maybe just boots?"
("It'll definitely still be a broom," Hermione said smugly, as if she'd been tickled.)
("Every wizarding family in Britain must own at least one Flying Broomstick; other flying items such as flying barrels, flying chairs, flying bathtubs, and Flying Carpet are illegal in Britain.")
("There's a reason for this. Before the implementation of the International Law on Wizarding Secrets, wizards mostly lived in seclusion and were unwilling to interact with others.")
("If wizards wanted to have a flying device in their homes, it would have to be a discreet contraption, something easy to hide.")
("A broom is ideal: it is not only easy to carry, but also cheap, and even if it is discovered by ordinary people, no explanation or excuse is needed.")
("And after the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy, it goes without saying.")
("I dare say that even the fairies in this world have a need for secrecy.")
(After venting her urge to be a know-it-all, Hermione gradually realized that the wizards known as fairies in this other world had no need to hide themselves.)
(They all live in a world inaccessible to ordinary people; if they so choose, ordinary people will never discover this magical world.)
(Moreover, the development of Flying Broomstick has not been without its challenges.)
(The most primitive Flying Broomstick were actually very crude. The broom handles were unpolished and bumpy, and the tails were usually just tied with a few thin twigs. They were neither comfortable nor aerodynamic.)
(The spells cast upon it are all basic: it only flies forward at one speed; it does not ascend, descend, or pause.)
(If you sit on this kind of broom for a while, it will be covered in sharp thorns and bumps.)
(This shortcoming was not alleviated until the twelfth century, when wizards learned to barter, and a skilled broom maker could trade his brooms with his neighbor for potions that might be better than what he could concoct himself.)
(The Flying Broomstick didn't die out until 1820, when Elio Smythe invented the Cushioning Charm, making it the orthodox flying gadget.)
Harry was very familiar with the knowledge of flight and had memorized "Quidditch Through the Ages," did not make the same mistake as Hermione and Krum. He almost only frowned and came to the conclusion, "It won't be Flying Broomstick, or rather, there won't be any flying gadgets at all. I mean, flying gadgets exist, but they won't be that common. Just like not every family in the ordinary world owns a car."
You mean—
In the Movie Harry, flying without support is not Voldemort's exclusive ability; it's a skill possessed by Death Eater and highly skilled wizards alike.
Therefore, Krum quickly realized what was happening.
"Yes, just like you guessed. Flying magic is very common among fairies and easy to learn." Harry nodded.
"You guys went through all that trouble to figure it out?" Phoebe, somewhat speechless.
"Haven't you noticed? Regardless of whether our elves have wings or not, they can walk and fly in the air."
"Those upperclassmen crossing the bridge, and Flitwick's feet never even touched the ground during class."
"I think flying is probably one of the skills that were learned and popularized from the elves."
"Right." Harry recalled what they had learned in class, "As creations of God, elves have possessed many supernatural abilities since their inception, such as levitation, teleportation, passing through walls, and energy perception."
"The magic of the fairies in this world is mostly derived from studying them."
Hearing this, Krum frowned. "Yes, in fact, I'm quite disappointed about it."
"At least the Dark Magic class taught us how to put away the Magic Immortal Artifact and how to use them."
"I originally thought the White Magic class would teach us how to learn the supernatural abilities of elves."
Krum's complaint was quickly resolved.
After lunch.
One by one, the new students walked out of the castle, crossed the sloping lawn, and came once again to the platform inlaid with countless Magic Immortal Crystal.
Madam Hooch stood where Dumbledore, holding onto the pristine white handrail, and looked them over.
"I am your Flying Class instructor, Rolanda Hooch."
"You can call me Madam Hooch."
"In this lesson, I will teach you how to fly," she said calmly, looking at the excited Little Magic Fairy on the platform.
Judging from the tone, it didn't sound like they were going to teach them to fly, but rather to teach them a simple and easy-to-understand course like gymnastics.
It was as if even if the students had Troll heads, filled with tangled weeds, she was certain she could teach them.
"Do you remember what this place was for?"
Although the students didn't understand why they were being asked that question, they answered one after another, fueled by their excitement.
"Awakened Spirit!"
"The place where spirits and Magic Immortal Artifact awaken!"
"Yes, it's elves." Madam Hooch Dotty. "Many of our magic originates from them. They are the best teacher in the world, better than any paper book. And today, I will teach you how to fly through them."
"Now, summon your spirits."
The next second, sprites appeared on the platform again, just like before, as they awakened their sprites and Magic Immortal Artifact here.
"During this time, you should have discovered that elves can lift heavy objects out of thin air, as if they have given you a pair of invisible arms with superhuman strength."
"So, if you change that goal to yourselves, that means..."
In an instant, all the elves looked at him.
However, even though everyone's veins were bulging, their bodies did not float.
"Professor, this isn't working."
"I can't touch myself, I can't touch myself!"
What's going on?
Madam Hooch was not at all surprised by the students' reaction.
She shrugged. "It's difficult to do this without eliminating self-awareness."
"It's like trying to lift your own body with your hands—it's illogical."
"And magic comes from the heart. If you subconsciously believe that it is impossible, then miracles will not happen."
"So what should we do?" Harry, a first-year student, raised his right hand.
He couldn't wait to show himself off in front of Phoebe and was the first to take flight.
"You just need one extra bit of help."
Madam Hooch raised her right hand, and a gleaming spatula appeared in her hand.
(Madam Hooch collapses, "Why is my Magic Immortal Artifact a spatula?!")
"Balala Energy - Utra - Puppet Show!"
A gray magical glow illuminated the entire platform.
All the Little Magic Fairy's bodies visibly stiffened and they lost control.
The elves circling around the body instantly became panicked.
"What's going on?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Do you need my help to break the control?" Lily's voice echoed in his mind.
"No, Mother. The professor seems to have something to say," he replied in his mind.
On stage, Madam Hooch calmly said, "You don't need to worry, this is the help I'm offering."
"I will make your bodies my puppets, thereby temporarily severing your connection with your bodies."
"Now you can try it—"
Before she could finish speaking, Harry, a first-year student in wolfhound form, steered his body into the sky.
As soon as he did this, the students all scattered in a flurry.
However, because their bodies were controlled, they were extremely stiff.
It looked like it was under a zombie- Flight Charm, being controlled by someone with a wand to float through the sky.
"Balala Energy - Xueni La - Loud Voice!"
Suddenly, Madam Hooch chanted another incantation, and her voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the chaotic platform where demons danced.
"Have you had enough fun?"
"The effectiveness of my Puppet Spell is limited."
"After a while, you will gradually be able to sense the presence of your body."
"I truly felt my body break free from gravity."
"Not the elusiveness of elves, but the feeling of truly flying in the air without any support."
"But the prerequisite is that you must learn to control your excitement, remain calm, and slowly allow your body and subconscious to accept this miracle."
"So, everyone, get back to your previous positions, not too high off the ground."
Madam Hooch's warning was very helpful.
Almost instantly, the stiff body that had been sprawling out in the air suddenly became upright and orderly floating in mid-air, head up and feet on the ground.
"Very good, that's it." Madam Hooch said as she slowly shook the spatula. "I'll gradually withdraw the power of the spell, and you all need to maintain your balance."
"Stay balanced, stay balanced," Phoebe chanted frantically in her mind.
She could already feel her toes, and along with that, her body began to shake violently in the air.
The hand that held her in the fairy's mind suddenly seemed to become slippery, as if it had been coated with a thick layer of butter.
"Is this what flying is?" Krum exclaimed.
Compared to Phoebe, Krum was clearly much more at ease, even though he had to control two bodies.
Although the two elves' 'joined hands' were starting to lose contact with their own bodies.
But instead, there is a feeling of lightness that envelops the body.
He had a feeling that he had been soaring in the sky since birth.
Unable to open his eyes in the Mind Stone space, the feeling of weightlessness as he continued to fall gradually subsided.
He realized:
He abandoned not only the ground, but also his fear...
He returned to where he felt right at home...
It's just another Quidditch Match, nothing more...
This is just another Quidditch Match.
The gains and losses in one's heart, the fear, are just another tough opponent...
And he...
There is no team that can be called an opponent; the only opponent is himself!
Even if he loses the competition, he will be the one to get the Golden Snitch!
"He flew away!"
"Krum has flown away!"
"There's only one Krum left!"
(Krum's supporters, led by Ron, chanted, "As expected of Krum! Krum! Krum! Krum!")
Amidst the students' gasps of surprise, the fairy merged into their bodies.
Two bodies soared into the sky, weaving through the blue sky and white clouds, and then...
The two bodies collided, leaving only one.
The only Viktor Krum was raised with his right hand, as if holding an invisible cable, as he slid down from the sky.
"What are you doing?" Madam Hooch could not remain calm.
The other students were very understanding and did not think she was unprofessional.
After all, with two students taking off and only one left, even the Magic Fairy King Dumbledore couldn't remain calm here.
"I have truly mastered the Magic Immortal Artifact."
"I have mastered the means to integrate it into my body."
"Rick Krum never existed in the first place. From beginning to end, only Viktor Krum has existed."
As he spoke, he floated into the air again.
With his right hand clenched loosely, another version of himself gradually emerged from the air.
"So that's how it is." Madam Hooch breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that her student was alright.
She then remembered Krum's special status.
Then she saw the two people fly up into the sky again.
First-year Harry looked at Phoebe, then at Krum, and wanted to take off like Krum.
However, he could only barely manage to lift himself up and take off when the elf was outside his body.
However, until the end of get out of class.
The only other elf who could take flight after returning to his body, like Krum, was the one standing next to Phoebe, that bastard named Daniel Kree.
Harry and his friends had no idea that another Harry was internally cursing them as bastards.
After class, Krum was surrounded by students.
How did you manage to do that?
"Can you teach us?"
"Hehe, hehe, two boyfriends."
"Double the happiness."
It was only then that Krum finally rediscovered what it meant to be Quidditch World Star.
However, he didn't indulge in it for long.
In the distance, in a corner of the castle, a tall, brown-haired figure caught his attention.
In particular, the Dark Magic Fairy Edward Cullen was walking towards him.
"Harry." Another Krum descended from the sky, landing behind Harry and Phoebe.
"It's you—it's you!"
"You scared us!"
Phoebe and Harry patted their chests, momentarily breathless.
