Chapter 81 – Flying Lesson! Part -3

    {Quidditch Pitch, Hogwarts}

    {7th Sep 1991}

    {3rd Person POV}

    "So, future quidditch star, will you teach me how to do this?" Rigel asked as he turned his attention to Tracy. He hadn''t known both Daphne and Tracy for very long, and although they weren''t very close friends, he got the purest smile he had every scene from Tracy.

    "Of course," Tracy said confidently. She motioned toward the broom and spoke, "Since we can''t actually fly right now, I''ll tell you the basics of how to control your broom."

    At Rigel''s eager nod, she mounted her broom, his attention shifted toward her thighs for a moment before he looked back up into her eyes.

    "Madam Hooch already explained the grip to you, so I won''t go into too much detail regarding that. Let''s focus on the three main ways you control your broom. First and the most basic would be the angle of your broomstick." Tracy explained, her fingers pointed to the angle of her broomstick, which was a little elevated.

    "After you kicked off, you noticed how your broom was pointing upwards, but when you came down, did you push the angle down?" Tracy questioned, getting a nod from Rigel.

    "This is the first and most basic control of your broomstick. Your broomstick knows at which angle it is, so if you want to go up or down, all you need to do is push or pull the broomstick toward you. Got it?" she asked.

    ''There is still time before Halloween when I have to perform the Core Expansion Ritual...'' Rigel thought. Although earlier he was planning to do the Ritual with Evelyn since the difference in doing it with anyone wouldn''t do much, after much research, he had realized that the number of opportunities to do Rituals was a lot less as most of them needed the power of celestial events.

    ''If I could only do a limited number of Core Expansion Rituals, then doing one with Evelyn and doing one with Daphne would be a difference of 25% mana,'' Rigel thought. The benefits of locking himself out of Evelyn''s requirements weren''t worth much, but still, he was a little hesitant to give up the 2% increase in his affinity for the Dark Arts.

    ''I have a lot of stuff to do and not much time. With Runes, Rituals, and Dark Arts, I have three extra-curricular study projects going on at the same time, plus if you add finding the Diary and catching Pettigrew...''

    Rigel''s thoughts wandered for a minute as he sighed. The ever-changing situation was slightly overwhelming him. He noticed the shift in the people around him and noticed that Madam Hooch was walking back to join their group.

    Her eyes scanned everyone, and after giving a slight nod to herself, she continued, "Now, I don''t want any more stupidity. Each of you would hover no more than 1 foot over the ground until you get a feel for flying. No rushing around. I want you to move around a bit, but be careful not to collide with anyone. Each collision would result in the loss of one point for each of your houses."

    *Piiiiiiiiii*

    After giving her little speech, she tugged on her whistle again, and after the sharp sound reverberated around everyone, Rigel kicked off again. His worries did vanish for a moment as he flew around lazily. The feeling of saying fuck you to gravity was a little exhilarating.

    AN—This ends Rigel''s first week at Hogwarts! I know the story started a little slow, but it picks up pace soon, with days blurring by. At the same time, the next few chapters will focus more on magical theory and Rigel''s sexual escapades!
