017- Escaping Punishment!

"Who can tell me what happened here!" Mrs. Hooch looked around at the students, then turned her attention to Malfoy and Harry.

Harry and Malfoy both turned pale in fright, and Ivan was the first to answer.

"Mrs. Hooch, as you can see, they were just practicing flying skills."

A tangled color flashed across Malfoy's face, and he opened his mouth to tell the tale of Ivan's attack on him with the petrification spell, but in the end he closed his mouth and did not refute it.

After all, Malfoy understood that if he said it, Ivan would definitely snitch on him saying he stole Neville's crystal ball and provoked him. Malfoy knew which of the two was the heavier punishment.

In order to avoid going to the punishment room and getting tied up by Filch, Malfoy reluctantly accepted that he and Harry were "friends" and were just trying to practice flying together.

But Malfoy would never allow the annoying Ivan to stay out of the matter, even when he spoke.

"Yes, but it was not just the two of us who flew just now."

While talking, Malfoy raised his eyebrows at Ivan, the threatening expression on his face was obvious, and Mrs. Hooch also shifted her attention from Malfoy and Harry to Ivan.

"Okay, I admit it..." Ivan shrugged indifferently, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Ivan and Malfoy glanced at each other uncomfortably, but the two sides still faintly reached an agreement at the moment their eyes met, not revealing each other... a temporary truce!

Malfoy was frightened by the punishment Ivan said, and Ivan was worried about being drawn to patrol in the forbidden forest.

With Ivan's current strength, he is not ready to take this risk...

Harry, who had been listening, had a dumb expression on his face. Shouldn't it be that Malfoy took Neville's crystal ball and then took it back?

When did he start to practice flying with Ivan and Malfoy?

However, under the frequent hints that Ivan was giving him, Harry still wisely chose to shut up.

"I said before I left that, no one is allowed to fly a broomstick until I come back!" Mrs. Hooch was very angry when she heard that three students were flying without supervision while she was away.

Neville has just been taken to the hospital by her. What if there was another accident?

"I'm sorry, Professor!" Ivan first apologized politely and then said immediately.

"But I don't think there is a student who can resist the temptation to fly freely on a broomstick. Who doesn't want to be a Quidditch star after graduation and win glory for the country?"

"As for Malfoy and Neville, it was just an accident. Fortunately, our Levitation Charm worked well, and no one was injured."

Ivan talked endlessly about his love for Quidditch, only to say that he was going to be a Quidditch champion in the future!

Madam Hooch's face looked better now. As a flight class professor, Madam Hodge was also a fan of flying and Quidditch sports and naturally understood the desire.

"Even so, you must pay the price for violating the school regulations..."

Although not as angry as she was at the beginning, Mrs. Hodge put down her foot, thinking about how to punish these troublemakers, but she was interrupted by Professor McGonagall who arrived in time.

"Mrs. Hodge, can you stop for a while? I might have to borrow Mr. Potter from you."

"Of course..." Mrs. Hodge was surprised at first, then nodded again quickly.

Mrs. Hodge didn't see the process of Harry flying just now. She thought it was Harry who had made some other mistake and was found by Professor McGonagall, so it was a simple matter to take Harry away. Professor McGonagall just nodded.

Then she motioned to Harry to follow him. There was a lot of confusion in Harry's head, he still didn't know what was going on. He could only follow Professor McGonagall in fear.

After Madam Hooch watched the two leave, she turned around and remembered that there was still someone to deal with. "Ivan, Malfoy, due to your actions, 5 points will be deducted from your respected houses, now then let's continue the class!"

Ivan's face turned bitter, although he didn't care about the deducted points. In the past few days, just answering questions in class, Ivan had won over ten points for his house, and a five-point deduction would not cause anyone to blame him.

But if he continued to take the flight class, his lies will be found out. He secretly prayed for the class to end soon.

Ivan would have to pretend to hold the broom and make a flying posture, while trying to look like he knows what he is doing.

However, things backfired. Due to the frequent accidents in the previous half-hour, Mrs. Hooch didn't dare to let these students fly around. She prepared to come one by one. Malfoy gave Ivan a haughty look.

Ivan looked at the flying broomstick in his hand, couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but regret it. He knew that he had a bad flying skills.

Now being pitted by Malfoy, he wants to say that he can't fly.

Ivan tried helplessly, this time the flying broom gave Ivan a little bit of face, and under his control, he flew staggeringly.

Nevertheless, Ivan was very happy to experience flying for the first time. After a little acceleration, he felt the cold and stern wind echoing in his ears. The surrounding roof tiles were flying by one by one. This feeling of freedom was far more fulfilling than flying on a plane. It was wonderful.

After flying for a while, Ivan landed smoothly.

Madam Hooch pursed her lips, obviously not too satisfied. After all, Mrs. Hooch held high hopes because of Ivan's statements. That flying was a little too shaky...

Ivan had to cough a clear cough, covering his embarrassment. "Ahem, professor, I think this broomstick may be too old...it's a bit unstable when flying...I used to fly pretty well."

Malfoy was grinning and snickering. He didn't expect that Ivan's flying skills were so bad. No wonder he had been on the ground before and didn't fly up like Harry.

Unexpectedly, Ivan said suddenly.

"Isn't it right Malfoy? I know you couldn't fly properly before, why else would he suddenly fall from under the broom..."

Malfoy, who was snickering, couldn't laugh anymore, he just had to look at Ivan bitterly, before suffocating a word for a long time.

"Of course, I also think there may be a problem with these broomsticks..."

What else could he say if he didn't want to incriminate himself?

In order not to be punished, he could not tell the truth.
