Chapter 15: Troubled Flying Lesson (Part 2)

Madam Hooch did not blame Ivan. Instead, she quickly ran to Neville, checking his injuries.

"Madam Hooch, is Neville okay?" Ivan asked.

Ivan felt that he had cushioned the fall a bit, so it shouldn't have caused more serious injuries, right?

"He's fine, just a few minor injuries", Madam Hooch said after a brief examination. She helped the bruised and battered Neville to his feet.

Neville's sudden plummet from the sky had nearly frightened her to death. Even though his injuries were not severe, Madam Hooch insisted on taking him to the hospital.

"Alright, children, I'm going to take Neville to the hospital. I want you all to stay here and behave until I return. No one is to fly without permission!"

Madam Hooch then led Neville, who still had tear streaks on his face, back to the castle.

Once they were far enough away, the Slytherin students burst into laughter. Draco Malfoy sneered, "Did you all see that? That big dork, Sniveling Snot, falling from the sky. I bet he won't even dare to ride a broomstick again."

"Enough, Malfoy!" Harry couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to shut Malfoy up.

But Malfoy didn't show any signs of remorse. Instead, he taunted even more. "Heaven forbid, our Potter is friends with that big dork!"

"We are friends, and you're not allowed to call Neville that!" Harry angrily retorted.

Ivan frowned at this. He knew from the movies that Malfoy was a troublemaker, but he wasn't entirely evil.

Just as Ivan was thinking this, Malfoy pointed at him and said, "Friends? Like him, who adds points and then drops the big dork from the sky?"

Ivan's lips twitched. He stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and punched Malfoy in the face, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Damn, brats are the worst.

"You hit me? I'll have my father expel you!" Malfoy, rubbing his red and swollen cheek, climbed to his feet, fuming.

Ivan wasn't bothered by Malfoy's threats. Lucius Malfoy was a board member at Hogwarts, but he didn't have the authority to expel a student directly. Dumbledore wouldn't expel him over such a small matter, especially since he was now somewhat a friend of the Chosen One, Harry.

"Ivan, well done!" Ron rolled up his sleeves and stood beside Ivan, who had long been annoyed by Malfoy.

"Enough! Ivan, Ron, what would Madam Hooch think if she came back and saw you fighting? You'll be expelled!" Hermione looked at Ivan and the others angrily, almost hysterical.

Meanwhile, Malfoy took advantage of their distraction and flew into the air on his broomstick.

Perhaps the height gave Malfoy a sense of security. Despite being beaten, he didn't show any remorse. Instead, he pulled out a Crystal Ball, held it high, and taunted the group.

"Look what I have! The big dork's Crystal Ball! Let me think, where should I hide it? How about in a tree? Aren't you friends with the big dork? Come and get it!"

"Malfoy!"

Harry was nearly fuming with anger. Ignoring Hermione's protests, he mounted his broomstick and chased after Malfoy into the air.

Despite it being Harry's first time riding a broomstick, he handled it steadily, and before long, the two of them were engaged in an aerial duel.

Ivan naturally intended to go help, placing the broomstick between his legs and mimicking Harry's takeoff posture, hoping to experience the feeling of flying.

However, the broomstick seemed to have a mind of its own. No matter how Ivan shook the top of the broom, it remained stubbornly stationary.

Come on, come on, why aren't you moving?

Ivan dejectedly patted the broomstick's shaft, only then remembering that he hadn't even completed the first step of sensing the broom.

Fortunately, Hermione didn't let Ivan stand there dazed for too long. She quickly stepped in front of him, arms outstretched.

"Ivan, are you planning to break the school rules too?" the little witch glared at Ivan with puffed cheeks.

"Not really. I think Harry can handle it on his own without me", Ivan hurriedly seized the opportunity to toss the broomstick to the ground, shrugging indifferently and gesturing for Hermione to look up.

Riding the broomstick, Harry was like a fish in water in the air, quickly gaining the upper hand over Malfoy. Hermione even suspected that Harry might have practiced before coming to school.

However, Malfoy was not about to give up so easily. Seeing that he was no match for Harry, Malfoy decisively threw the glass ball far away.

"Here, catch it", Malfoy said with a sinister sneer.

The glass ball flew far away as Malfoy threw it. Harry, seeing this, immediately gave chase, nearly colliding with the castle's bricks before diving down to follow the ball.

"No, Harry, stop!"

Hermione shouted in terror, while Malfoy burst into laughter. However, his laughter froze on his face when he saw Harry perform a beautiful dive and stop to catch the glass ball.

Neither Malfoy nor Harry noticed that, from a distance, Professor Mcgonagall was watching with a surprised expression from an open window.

Hermione and the others, who had been worried about Harry, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ron even drew his Wand.

"We need to teach Malfoy a lesson!"

"Leg-Locker Curse!" Ron shouted the lock leg curse he had learned in Charms class.

In class, Ron had managed to use it once by chance, making an experimental toad's hind legs stick together and hop for the entire lesson.

However, this time, luck was not on Ron's side. The black Wand only emitted a puff of strange white smoke and then nothing else.

Malfoy, who was flying on his broomstick in the sky, was initially startled and had already prepared to dodge. But seeing Ron's awkward situation, he burst into laughter.

Ron's cheeks turned bright red with anger, and he was so furious he wanted to jump into the air and shove his Wand into Malfoy's mouth!

"Let me handle it", seeing Ron's furious state, Ivan sighed helplessly. At least after resting a bit, casting one or two spells should be no problem.

To avoid any accidents, Ivan turned to Hermione, who looked somewhat at a loss due to the sudden developments.

"Hermione, do you remember the incantation for the Levitation Charm?"

"Of course", Hermione gave Ivan a puzzled look and nodded hesitantly.

Why is he asking me this?

"That's good." Before Hermione could figure it out, Ivan murmured softly and raised his Wand.
