Chapter 44: Return and Test Flight
Chapter 44: Return and Test Flight
After rummaging for a while,
Jerry found a flying broom that didn't look too old, along with a few magic books that seemed quite promising:
Common Spells and Counter-Curses, Outsmarting Dark Magic, Self-Defense Spellbook, and Toxic Countermeasures.
This was a pleasant surprise from his visit.
Of course, he also spotted the legendary Ravenclaw's Diadem, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, on a bust of a male wizard covered in spots.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it.
That thing was useless to him at the moment. He had no way to destroy it, and holding it would risk being influenced by Voldemort's soul. Better to leave it alone.
"So quickly, it's already twelve o'clock!"
He hadn't realized how fast time had passed while he was searching.
Jerry quickly grabbed the flying broom with his left hand, held his wand and a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans with his right, and clutched the magic books as he waited for midnight.
"Due to insufficient Little Red Stars, forced return is initiated. Countdown begins: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
With the prompt from the Strange Panel, the world fell into stasis once again.
"Jerry, what are you doing with that strange broom and stick? And what are those books?"
When Jerry opened his eyes again, he was back in his home in Queens, New York.
But he also heard his sister Elsa's puzzled voice.
"Looks like I need to find a time when no one's around next time I enter the Mini World!"
Jerry, holding the flying broom, wand, and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and clutching the magic books, sat on the couch. He glanced at his sister, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and decided internally.
"This broom? I bought it today to clean the room. The stick? It's actually a tool I bought to stir soup. As for these books..."
Seeing the suspicion in Elsa's eyes, he quickly smiled and said,
"These books are a set of primary school math books I bought for you. This way, you won't be bored during the summer!"
"What? Jerry, what did you say? Ouch, you actually ambushed... you actually used a sleep spell on Her Majesty, the Queen..."
Elsa's reaction was immediate when she heard anything related to math. She jumped off the couch, abandoning her TV show, and stumbled like she had just performed the Lingbo Steps, heading straight for her room and slamming the door shut.
Jerry's lips twitched as he watched her. He then took the flying broom and magic books, turned off the TV, and returned to his room.
He knew his sister's biggest weakness: math. She had never passed a math test since she started school and despised the subject.
Whenever Jerry tried to help her with math, she would always counter with various spells, just like today.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and Hass was on night duty and wouldn't be home to sleep. So, Jerry went straight to bed as soon as he got to his room.
When the alarm went off at midnight, he got up, took the flying broom, and quietly left the neighborhood.
He carefully avoided any pedestrians and the omnipresent cameras. Jerry was being cautious, not because he was overly paranoid, but because the power of technology could not be underestimated.
In a modern city filled with cameras, even the smallest clue could lead to his real identity being discovered.
Once inside the abandoned factory he had found during his patrol, Jerry pulled down the hood of his hoodie and took the flying broom out of the large black plastic bag.
“Nimbus Three!”
Looking at the words marked on the flying broom, he knew this was a very outdated model.
A few days ago, because of the flying broom, he had specifically borrowed a book called History of the Flying Broom and another called Beginner's Guide to Flying Brooms from the library.
The Nimbus Three broom belonged to the Nimbus Broom Company's line of brooms, released in 1937. This meant that the broom he had taken from the Room of Requirement was already several decades old.
However, it didn’t look too worn out, probably because it hadn’t been used much.
“Up!”
Jerry placed the flying broom on the ground and recalled the incantation he had learned from Beginner's Guide to Flying Brooms, slowly extending his right hand.
The magic within him spread through his right hand with the incantation, connecting tightly to the broom on the ground.
The flying broom happily rolled on the ground, and then... it stopped.
“.”
Jerry raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless.
It seemed that not only was his aptitude for learning magic poor, but he also had no talent for flying brooms.
He had been confident that if he took a flying broom class, he could easily outshine Harry and be the coolest kid in class. Now, it seemed he had been a bit hasty.
While his body was strong, and he would certainly be very agile flying a broom in the air, he first had to get the broom to fly.
Activate “Mind Enhancer”!
To avoid wasting time, Jerry directly transformed into his Superhuman Form and, with his super brain, began repeatedly practicing the incantation to control the flying broom, quickly improving his proficiency.
With the help of the brain booster, it took him less than five minutes to fully master the incantation technique for controlling the flying broom.
Since he only had a few dozen Little Red Stars left, he immediately stopped using them once he had mastered the technique.
“Up!”
This time, the flying broom smoothly rose into his right hand.
Mounting the broom, he focused his mind, and the flying broom lifted him into the air.
“Go!”
With a command, the flying broom gradually accelerated, flying toward the other end of the warehouse. As he approached the wall, he sharply pulled up, narrowly avoiding a collision, and then flew backward.
“Ha ha, nice! Very nice!”
Controlling the Nimbus Three, Jerry flew joyfully around the warehouse.
A man’s happiness can be so simple. Even though Jerry’s soul was nearly forty years old, riding a broom that could fly freely in the air was still a delightful experience.
As one grows older, the pressures and responsibilities of life can make a person increasingly mature and serious.
But in reality, when he was alone or with like-minded peers, he could still show a more childish and playful side.
Excitedly flying up and down, left and right, he even almost crashed into the ceiling a few times. Finally, Jerry gained complete control over the flying broom.
“It’s time to try it outside!”
Checking the time, it was not yet one o'clock. Jerry changed out of his hoodie, put on the wizard outfit he had brought, picked up his wand and the flying broom, and walked out of the warehouse.
