Ryan's Discovery

It was already 4:30. Harry started reading the Quidditch Through the Ages book that Roger had just given him. Roger's admonitions continued to come from beside him, such as how he had just gone to the library and told the librarian, Madam Pince, the names of the wizards who had received the books.

"Except for you, Harry, this is mine. You can look at it as you please, just give it back to me before the end of the semester." Roger's head suddenly popped out from the side, startling Harry.

Once Roger was out of sight, Harry whispered, "I remember Roger Davies was just Chaser, not the Quidditch captain. How did it become him?"

Harry's words stirred up a hornet's nest, and several unfamiliar, older wizards gathered around.

"Exactly, he's only Third Year."

"Jonny must be blind to have chosen him as a candidate for captain."

"Cleansweep is just an old relic, Nimbus is the best."

Meanwhile, Ryan lay bored on a chair to the side. Quidditch, this thing, has so many stories. It's really interesting.

In Ryan's view, the obsolescence of other flying machines was simply due to the conservatism of Britain wizards. Even in the current era of the Statute of Secrecy, a large number of wizards and witches still travel on flying broomsticks, without any concern that their planes might crash due to the approach of wizards.

He was just pretending to use the Disillusionment Charm while flying, supposedly to avoid being seen by Muggle.

To be honest, such a method can only fool Muggle on the ground. When the flying broom flies overhead, Muggle standing on the ground may only see a slight flash in the night sky, which they will take as a sign of blurred vision, drowsiness, or a hallucination caused by light.

But Muggle on the plane are different. If they're unlucky, the plane might lose control due to the magical magnetic field and eventually crash.

Although Ryan is a time traveler, he is actually a native-born Britain wizard. This is the custom here. No matter what the product is or what it is used for, they tend to prefer the original design, as this has more historical significance.

The flying props started with brooms, so they could only be brooms.

Interestingly, perhaps even Harry himself didn't realize that Quidditch wasn't an unfamiliar term in the Muggle World.

The book "Quidditch Through the Ages" is also available in Muggle World, and all of its royalties are donated to the Comic Relief Foundation.

The foundation was established in 1985, when Harry was 5 years old.

It has now received £174,000,000 – Galleon in donations, and the book has even been enchanted with a Thieving Charm.

If you see this book in a bookstore and keep reading it until you're almost finished but don't intend to pay for it, then the money in your pocket will disappear as a donation.

So the Statute of Secrecy is just a fig leaf; as long as you are powerful enough, no other wizard will care.

Just like the establishment of this foundation and the publication of "Quidditch Through the Ages" are related to Dumbledore, but no Tom, Dick, or Harry has come out to accuse Dumbledore of breaking the law.

This old man was secretly publishing some of the culture and stories of the Wizarding World into the Muggle World, letting Muggle know that wizards were no different from them, just like everyone else—happy, laughing, hurt, and crying.

As for why this book was chosen, it's because it tells the story of a fictional sport, which is also the most popular sport at Hogwarts.

When Dumbledore told him that he was going to use a book as a template to copy into the Muggle world, the librarian Madam Pince complained to him that "Quidditch Through the Ages" was being handled roughly every day, drooled on, and abused by everyone.

In Dumbledore's view, this was a compliment, no matter which book it was.

So he chose this book as the source text, and then removed some of the spells from it, leaving it ordinary.

That way, you won't find yourself suddenly being hit hard on the head when you're scribbling in this book.

Thinking about this, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head. This world is really interesting. After getting rid of all the threats, Ryan discovered some interesting things that he had usually overlooked.

For example, the Muggle World is different from his previous life. In some place he didn't know, books about the Wizarding World were lying on the shelves of Muggle library, being read as fantasy novels.

This novel feeling is indescribable. Only a time traveler like myself can find enjoyment in it. For people who already live in this world, these different pieces of information and things are a normal part of their lives, as common as flowers, plants and trees.

The upperclassman who had just been complaining about Roger Davies next to Harry had disappeared, and Ryan, having nothing better to do, moved closer to Harry and started reading a book with him.

"Huh? It seems there are really very few flying wizards, so much so that this author would think that way," Ryan thought.

In this world, unlike the movie version, apart from Voldemort and Harry's seventh-year Snape, wizards have not yet invented any spells that allow them to fly in human form without any tools.

The only ones who can fly freely are the few Animagus Transformation into winged animals.

However, from another perspective, this book is also quite harmful.

His author was an expert in Quidditch, but to start by asserting that no wizard had ever invented a spell related to flight was quite shallow.

If Hermione reads this book, she'll probably be misled too.

In many books in the Wizarding World, each author doesn't just speak within their own field. They usually include their own shallow views in the opening. These things are restrictive, telling young wizards who should have unlimited potential that they cannot bring the dead back to life, that killing will impure their souls, that certain magic is evil, and so on.

No wonder Hermione from the original timeline denied the existence of the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone. As an omniscient person, she became stubborn and inflexible while memorizing magical knowledge.

Spells of flight must have existed. Wizards were originally powerful beings, like gods, and flight was simply an instinct.

No related spells have been passed down, simply because the wizards of that time could not have imagined that the wizards of later times would be so weak that they would need spells to fly. Isn't it something that anyone with hands can do?

Magic is a miracle. The first step to learning magic is to believe that you are omnipotent. If you can't now, that's only now.

"Ryan, what's wrong?" Harry said, noticing Ryan's sullen expression.

"Nothing, Harry, are you sure there aren't any spells related to flight?" Ryan asked.

"Definitely not. It's written in the books that no wizard has ever invented such a spell." Hermione, who was secretly swooning over Ryan, interjected.

"I think it should be. A flying broomstick can make a wizard fly, right?"

"I think the reason there is no such spell is because it is not applicable. If you rely on yourself to fly, you probably won't be able to fly very far before you get exhausted."

"The Levitation Charm can make objects float, so why can't that object be ourselves?" Harry retorted.

"Yes, look where we are!" Ryan said abruptly, followed by Hermione and Harry's screams.

They were now above Hogwarts, and an invisible force emanated from Ryan, making them feel like fish swimming freely in a sea of the sky.

"Hermione, Harry, you must remember, magic is all-powerful," Ryan then said.

The next second, Harry and Hermione were panting heavily as they returned to the common room, as if they had never left. But the dampness of the clouds that Harry's fingertips touched reminded him that it was not an illusion.
