Chapter 8: Flying Accident?
Not to mention this flying broom that costs two hundred gold gallons. He hadn't even touched a single golden gallon. This broom is almost catching up with his father's salary for half a year.
His mother would definitely not let him receive such a gift.
"Oh, okay then."
Braun didn't force Ron either.
But he promised Ron that he can come over to his house and play with his brooms in the future.
Anyway, this broom will only collect dust when put here. It's better to let Ron play with his broom than to let it sit idly in the wooden house.
"Hurry up Braun, let's go out and try!"
Ron said excitedly, holding the broom like he would a treasure.
Braun couldn't resist Ron's plea.
He could only sigh, Then he went inside one of the rooms and returned with a couple of cloaks for the both to wear.
Both of them then went into the garden with a broomstick each.
Yes, he has more than one broom.
His father collects each and every edition of the New flying brooms introduced every year.
Braun will also get a multiple brooms as Christmas presents every year.
Some were given by his parents or by other people in the family or by his father's friends.
What he is holding now is the famous sweeping seven stars.
Known for stability and security.
Great for beginners like him.
In Ron's hands is the Lightwheel 1989.
The two walked to the garden.
Since Braun never had his outbreak, he couldn't use any magical energy to fly using a broom. So he never truly learnt how to fly a broom.
Ron is standing beside Braun and is instructing him on how to ride a broom to fly.
"First you put your broom under you like I did.
Then hold on. "
Braun followed his likeness, riding on a broomstick.
On the surface, it was just a broom, but when Braun started riding it, he found that there was an invisible magic force supporting his nether regions.
It feels a bit like a sofa cushion.
The body is also at a certain distance from the broom.
And not directly on the broom.
"Yes, very well. Then slowly kick off the ground using your legs. Yes, slow down..."
Braun slowly lifted his legs from the ground with a gentle kick holding the broom handle facing up towards the sky nervously.
Gradually, he felt his feet dangling in the air.
Looking down, Braun saw that his feet were almost a dozen inches above the ground.
"And then what? What's next? "
Braun asked with a little excitement.
To be honest, this feeling of flying is amazing.
Braun, who in his previous life sneered at the wizards and witches riding brooms in the movies and series, has long been conquered by this wonderful feeling at this moment.
"Control the broom with your magic power, imagine where you want to go, don't be nervous! keep your hands on the broom and move slowly!"
Ron was excited, too.
As kid who was often compared to his brothers in the Weasley family, at this moment, he achieved having his cousin learn to fly a broom through his teaching. What could be more exciting than this?
"Merlin's beard! its Moving! The broom is moving! "
"IAM FLYING !!!"
Braun yelled.
Although the broom is only floating a dozen centimeters from the ground, the speed of movement is not much faster than that of a snail.
But for Braun, it's also something that excites him.
Looking at his unproductive cousin, Ron couldn't help but want to show himself again.
"Braun! Look at me, let me show you the real art of flying! "
Braun then saw Ron getting on a broom and suddenly jumping into the air and looking at Braun triumphantly.
Ron then starts to weave through the air and from time to time, he also makes a few fancy moves.
Braun looked at Ron with some admiration in his eyes.
Although he was very disgusted with the character of Ron in the Harry Potter series that he read in his previous life, he has to say that at this moment Ron still has his own merits.
At least this flying technique is quite good.
As for those jealousies and occasional complaints that Ron displays, In the end, it is still because of low self-esteem that was built up over the years living under the shadow of his talented brothers.
As the sixth son in the family, he basically used the hand-me-downs from his brothers since he was born.
Second brother Percy's wand and pet.
Big brother Bill's clothes.
From time to time, he has to be bullied by his twin brothers Fred and George.
It's not too miserable.
But it's also not surprising for him to become jealous of others for even the smallest of things.
Seeing Braun's admiring gaze, Ron was very proud and raised the broom higher.
"Look, Braun! Am I amazing? "
Ron showed off as he waved at Braun.
Looking at Ron's look that screams of "praise me! praise me!"
Braun kindly satisfied him:
"Of course Ron, you're the best flying wizard I've ever seen.
Come down quickly. It's too cold.
How about we go to the house and drink some hot cocoa? "
Hearing Braun's compliment, Ron was even more excited.
But he is also a little cold when he rises higher and higher.
"Okay, Braun, I'll come down!"
But at this time, the unexpected happened.
The cold weather combined with Ron flying so high, It made Ron's hands cramp.
In a moment panic, Ron lost his grip and the broom also began to get out of control.
It started scurrying around in the air.
"Ron, what's wrong with you? Is this a new trick? Stop playing and come down. "
Braun landed on the ground and looked at Ron scurrying in the air, and couldn't help but call him to return.
He thought it was some new trick that Ron decided to show off.
However to his dismay, Ron screamed:
"No, Braun, I can't stop! My hands are cramping! "
"Wait, what?"
But before he could do anything.
Ron lost his grip and slid off the broom and screamed as he fell from the sky.
" NO! Ron!"
With such high altitude in the air, falling down is not fun.
At the moment, Braun had only one thought in his mind.
