Soon, Harry worked on developing the hover board and calibrating it to function according to the wishes of the user.

It was tough, but with the genius level brain and tons of cheats that Harry had, the board's first prototype was finished.

"Ta-Da" Harry announced with fanfare as he removed the cover off the board in front of two middle aged uncles.

"So, what are we looking at? A piece of wood?" Remus asked, while sirius nodded, thinking the same thing.

"Let me ask you guys this. Do you like riding of those broomsticks?" Harry asked the marauders.

"Sure. They go fast, you can do a lot of tricks on them and while I am no James Potter, I can easily handle tricks in the air." Sirius bragged.

"How about you Remus?"

"To be honest, they do feel a bit uncomfortable to sit on, even with the cushioning charm." Remus spoke softly, gaining a betrayed look from Sirius.

"Well, you don't have to be uncomfortable anymore, for I have the perfect solution.

Behold, the Hoverboard 1.0.4." Harry announced.

"What does a piece of wood do?" Sirius continued.

"First of all, this is not just wood. This is a treated plywood, soaked in resin and saturated with enough charms on it break any record that the fastest broom can have.

This is a functioning prototype of the hover board that I have designed.

At top speeds of 150 km/h, with instant breaking system, along with a foolproof riding system, this is a technological and magical wonder. This is the Hoverboard 1.0.4"

"Demonstrate" Sirius looked sceptical.

"With pleasure." Harry said as he stepped on the board and placed his feet hip width apart as if standing on a skateboard.

The next instant, the solid black board's edges glowed golden before levitating in the air slowly, balancing Harry a few feet of the ground.

With practiced ease, harry tilted the board forwards with his feet, and the board followed his commands, moving forwards.

"So, its just a levitating charm on a wooden board." Remus remarked.

"Don't be ridiculous. It has so many more. Its just, its not good to show you the full features inside a apartment. Lets go to a more open area. Sirius, if you will." Harry said and raised his hand towards sirius.

Seeing this, sirius sighed before grabbing harry's and remus's hand and with a cracking sound, the trio disappeared.

The next moment, the trio were standing in a huge open field with nary a person in sight. Trees sparsely dotted the landscape with mountains in the distance, and weeds and grass growing randomly.

"Alright, show us."

"Stand back." Harry cautioned.

"Here I go." And with that, a blast sounded and harry rose high into the sky, blindingly fast, and started to zoom around.

WHossh, Whossh.

With hands behind his back and leaning forwards, harry whizzed past the dumbfounded duo and moved through the air free as a bird.

With speeds reaching a 100 km/h, harry performed skilful twists and turns which would have made any air force pilot ashamed of their skills.

A few minutes later, harry reduced his altitude and aimed for the animagi.

"What the fuck is he thinking." Sirius screamed seeing his godson approaching him at high speeds.

"Turn, turn. Turn." Remus waved his hands and tried to redirect his best friend's son, but to no avail.

Ahhhhhh.

The duo screamed, but soon, the sounds faded when they realised the anticipated impact never occurred. Only a slight wind brushed their faces.

"Hey scaredy cats. Whatchu screaming about?" Harry asked with a shit eating grin before breaking out in full blown laughter.

"You are going to give this old man a heart attack one day." Remus whispered and patted his chest, trying to calm his beating heart.

"I wanna try." Sirius squealed like a little child on Christmas morning and pleaded.

"Sure, Here you go buddy. Be careful." Harry treated him like a child and jumped off the board.

Soon, Sirius stood on the board and felt his feet stick to the board and a barrier close up around him.

"Whats this?" He asked.

"That's a modified sticking charm so that you don't fall off. And the barrier is to avoid air resistance and bugs that might try to hit you in the face. Last I checked, brooms don't have that feature." Harry explained.

"ok, but how do I ride this thing. Is it like a broom. Tilt to move?" He asked.

"Yes, but no. Think about where you want to go. Start slow, then speed up. I don't want to fix you up again." Harry advised.

"Sure, sure. Well here I g-" Before he could finish his sentence, the board zoomed past Remus and Harry before gaining altitude and going straight up.

"AHHHHHHH" was all that was heard from Sirius ever again.
