How to Win Helena and the Firebolt

Ryan's lie was not actually an exaggeration.

The reason Ryan dared to ignore Lady Grey for a month was because

It was all because he noticed that Lady Grey kept changing her location, trying to avoid him.

In this way, Ryan only needs to appear after Lady Grey stops changing her location frequently, or find a time to appear during this period.

He just had to pretend he had been searching for a long time.

A trembling voice, if it conveys emotion, can help you get through this.

As for Lady Grey, also known as Helena, she is actually quite easy to understand.

That is to make her feel involved.

Tom Riddle relied on his Slytherin lineage back then.

Add to that his feigned inferiority complex, claiming he wasn't good enough for the Heir of Slytherin, and his handsome face and perfectly timed words made Helena's heart flutter. "He's just like me~"

These elements are all strategies that Riddle figured out through extremely limited dialogue.

Ryan, who traveled back in time, witnessed Riddle's strategy.

It's like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

You could say that if you say the wrong thing Helena will block you and ignore you.

But Riddle found the key point in just three sentences.

It's like 'three sentences made a thousand-year-old female ghost open her heart to me'.

What's worse, he's also very handsome.

This taught Ryan a lot.

The logic behind his sweet talk to Helena was learned from Tom Riddle.

This also taught Ryan the key points for winning over Helena.

That was her mother.

Riddle has already taken the substitution method, and what's worse, he's also destroyed the bridge.

Therefore, you can forget about using the substitution method.

However, Riddle's logical understanding is that Helena cares a lot about her mother.

What she cares about now is the magic her mother developed.

Nicholas essentially revealed the key to Helena's current strategy—she believes that as Ravenclaw's daughter, she has a responsibility to thoroughly understand her mother's achievements.

Ryan has a significant advantage in this regard.

Then Ryan got to know Helena through this.

And subtly, he made her discover his overlooked characteristics.

Playing the victim.

It aroused her sympathy.

Ryan used this trick on Hermione.

However, the key to this move is that the opponent must have it.

If Ryan hadn't first used Ghostification Magic to get closer to her...

In addition, Ryan has a handsome face that's even more striking than Riddle's.

This step cannot be taken so quickly.

What follows is a seemingly unintentional physical contact.

After all, Helena felt sorry for her.

Offering words of comfort inevitably leads to disagreements and friction.

This is where the "boiling frog" method comes in.

Gradually get her used to physical contact and keep testing the limits.

It also includes some practical tips on Ghostification Magic and a few jokes.

All of this was done to reduce her sense of incongruity.

When she came to her senses...

Your image has taken root in her heart, and she no longer resists your touch.

You're handsome, which makes you very valuable to her.

It was her goal, for which she would give anything—to figure out an integral part of her mother's magic.

Ryan then went on to discuss Ghostification Magic, specifically whether ghosts who ate ghost food could reproduce.

The rest will fall into place naturally.

Ryan used the above steps to fast-forward her relationship with Helena to marriage within three days.

Of course, this is related to the fact that ghosts themselves don't need to sleep.

If we consider it to be a normal human sleep schedule, it should be counted as six days.

Helena and Ryan are back to normal.

But this also means one thing.

That means Ryan has now added another thread to his multi-threaded operations.

Especially since she's a ghost, she doesn't need to rest.

She hardly missed any opportunity to contact Ryan.

This put Ryan under immense pressure.

So much so that Ryan wasn't really interested in Halloween, which was November 1st.

All he knew was that Ron was happy because of the gift Harry had given him—a Firebolt.

Harry bought one too.

However, Ryan also knew that the main reason was that there was a discount for buying two.

Furthermore, Sirius invested in Randolph Badmore's workshop—the workshop of the creator of the Firebolt.

All of this has to do with James Potter, this dead man.

After resolving the issues between Harry and his brother.

Because James also loves Quidditch, Sirius has his eye on the flying broomstick market.

That's why he invested in ten well-known broom makers in one go.

Randolph Badmore was one of them.

Thus, the world's fastest broom was born.

Its ability to accelerate from a standstill to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, its magical braking performance, and its ease of operation, including automatic hovering at the appropriate height, make it a winner over the Nimbus 2001.

Moreover, its workmanship is also very exquisite.

Compared to mass-produced masterpieces like the Nimbus 2001, it's more like a high-end custom-made product.

Each Firebolt has its own registration number.

Its broom handle is made of polished ebony, while the tail branch is made of birch or hazel wood, depending on personal preference.

Birch branches give the broom more "force" when lifted, while hazel branches give the broom more flexible handling.

(Harry chose the hazel tail branch; he was the Seeker.)

He chose birch for Ron was more interested in goalkeeping. (This "drive" is very useful in goalkeeping.)

The metal components in the flying broom are made of Goblin ironware, a first for flying brooms. This improves the broom's stability and power under harsh conditions and prevents the foot pedal from slipping.

However, this also makes its output quite meager.

Because the Goblin craftsmen involved in producing patented ironware are easily tempted to strike by the slightest provocation.

Therefore, Firebolt are actually high-end works of art in the world of brooms, which are very difficult to buy even if you have money.

This clearly shows how pleased Ron, who was knowledgeable in the field, was.

The first thing he did after receiving the gift was to give Anthony the Nimbus 2000 that Harry had given him as a replacement.

Then he ran out of the lounge without even changing his clothes.

He shouted to everyone he met, "I have Firebolt! I have Firebolt!"

Upon encountering her three older brothers— Fred, George, Percy —she immediately embraced them.

Jumping around in circles.

This brought some joy to Ryan, who was experiencing both happiness and pain because of Helena.

Then Fred, George, Percy found out and cast a Stupefy on Ron.

This was given to him by Percy, who explained to those around him that he was afraid Ron would get too excited and harm his health.

Fred then added a Mobilicorpus.

Ron's body floated toward the Ravenclaw Tower under Fred's command.

George led the way.

They were stopped after encountering Harry, who was also preparing to go to Hogsmeade.

However, this made Harry very regretful.

Because Ron, after waking up, also insisted on going.

We also need to take the Firebolt.

So Harry, who was originally planning to go to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop with Ginny, was...

They had no choice but to change locations—to the secret base nestled in the rocky crevices on the mountainside outside Hogsmeade Village.

He and Ron rode their respective Firebolt, while Ginny rode Harry's discarded 2001 towards their destination.
