The i in Potions css didn't cause much of a stir. Sriumphant, didn't tio bully the "drowned rat," and Eda sat ba her seat uhe twins' fort.
It was just a matter of mutual disdaiween Eda and Snape, nothing more.
In the following days, Eda repeated the routine of attending csses, leaving csses, and spending time in the library, slowly improving her skills.
The Gryffindor on room often witnessed ses of Eda pying around with the twin brothers.
One day in te September, the Gryffindor on room bulletin board was crowded with first-year students.
Their flying lessons were officially starting on Thursday, a css everyone had eagerly anticipated sihe beginning of the term. Everyone was thrilled.
They would have been even happier if it weren't for the fact that they had to share the css with Slytherins.
Thursday finally arrived amidst the eager anticipation of the first-year students. Eda sat in the Great Hall, eating breakfast while flipping through a book titled "Practical Guide to Flying Broomsticks." Beside her on the bench was another book, "Quidditch Through the Ages." Eda hoped to get some guidand help from these books. Doing some st-minute cramming was better than doing nothing at all.
The m csses felt especially long to the excited first-years. Even the excellent Professor Flitwick couldn't keep the children from dreaming of flying in the sky.
Finally, at three iernoon, the Gryffindor students hurried doweps to the flying lesson field.
The weather was clear and sunny, with a gentle breeze causing waves to ripple across the lush green wn.
From the wn, one could see the t castle, the Forbidden Forest, and the tall metal rings of the Quidditch pitch.
The broomsticks were id out ly on the grass, old and shabby, looking barely fit for sweeping, let alone flying.
After a while, the Slytherin students arrived noisily, their loud discussions about flying audible from a distance.
Madam Hooch, who taught flying lessons, had short silver-gray hair and yellow eyes. Her gait resembled that of a s hawk.
"Alright, what are you all waiting for?" Madam Hooch shouted. "Everyoand by a broomstick. Quickly, quickly, move!"
Eda stood o a broomstick, looking down at it speechlessly. "Shabby" didn't begin to describe it.
Some brauck out haphazardly, making it look more like a club than a broomstick.
Although Eda hadn't ridden the broomstick yet, she already felt the disfort.
"Extend yht hand over the broomstick," Madam Hooch called out from the front, "and say: 'Up!'"
"Up!" everyone shouted.
Eda's broom didn't budge. She looked around and saw that some people were in the same situation as her, while a few others,
like the four little piners, had successfully grasped their broomsticks. The arrogant Cody Avery also succeeded, proudly boasting to those around him.
"Up!" Eda repeated several times, but the broomstick still refused to jump into her hand. However, there was some progress; at least this time, the broomstick rolled a bit on the ground.
Madam Hooch walked among the students, correg their postures.
After several attempts, Eda finally mao get the broomstito her hand, though it seemed somewhat relut.
"Alright, when I blow my whistle, you will kick off from the ground with force," Madam Hooch said, having already demonstrated the correct riding position. "Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly to returically to the ground. Listen for my whistle—three—two—"
However, one Gryffindor student shot into the air before Madam Hooch could blow the whistle, s upward like a champagne cork.
Eda reized the student. His name was Campbell, and like Eda, he was Muggle-born. This was also his first time handling a flying broomstick.
Campbell let out terrified screams as he asded, clearly uo trol the broomstick!
With a loud crash, Campbell, who had just been screaming in the sky, was now lying painfully on the grass. Madam Hooch rushed over, and the Gryffindor students quickly gathered around to che him.
"Alright, it's not too serious. I'll take him to the hospital wing to see Madam Pomfrey," Madam Hooch said, helping Campbell up. "None of you move! Put your brooms ba pce, or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you say 'Quidditch.' Let's go, dear."
The gathered Gryffindor students quickly dispersed, making way for Madam Hooch as she supported Campbell, who hobbled towards the castle.
"Did you see that? What an idiot, what a stupid fool!" Cody Avery ughed loudly, g his hands as he bent over with ughter.
The Slytherin students were also ughing, enjoying the moment.
"Shut up, Avery!" Gee shouted.
"If you don't want a punch!" Fred added, stepping forward to give the annoying boy a lesson.
However, the other students began pushing each other, making it difficult for Fred and Gee to get through.
From a distance, Cody Avery poi the twin brothers, fshing his annoying trademark grin. "What's wrong, Weasley? Are you defending that stinky Campbell? Or does his stench remind you of home? Tarnishing the name of pure-blood traitors, Weasley!"
"Shut your filthy mouth!" Eda squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Cody Avery. "Apologize! Now!"
The curse words Eda had learned over twenty years in her previous life surged in her chest.
Unfortunately, the people from the 90's wizarding world couldn't uand the slurs she knew from the previous world and that meant that even if she mao expihey would lose their inal fvor and fail to deliver the precise impact she wanted.
It was truly regrettable.
"Oh, I almost fot about you," Avery said. "I saitiful broom rolling around at your feet. Of course, I'm talking about that shabby broom."
"Apologize to the Weasley brothers, Avery!" Eda instinctively ched her fists. "I don't want to say it a third time..."
"Even a broom despises you, yet you dare speak to a noble pure-blood like Avery!" Avery ignored Eda's words and shouted back, "The school should snap your and Campbell's wands and lock you both in Azkaban..."
Before Avery could finish his sentence, Eda kicked him right in the philtrum. Before he could even scream, Eda's fists rained down on his face.
Avery, caught off guard, had no ce to fight back.
The other Slytherins around him couldn't stand by and watch Avery suffer, so they quickly intervened, blog Eda.
Avery, temporarily free from Eda's assault, colpsed on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, groaning in pain with blood on his face.
Seeing that Eda might be in trouble, the Weasley twins forcefully pushed through the crowd to protect Eda, who was now surrounded.
After nearly a month of pent-up frustration, everyone's anger exploded at this moment.
The boys swung their fists at anyone wearing different colors, driven by their surging hormohe braver girls joined in, pulling hair and fighting fiercely.
Everyone was in a brawl, and the se looked chaotic.
Except for a few timid ones who didn't dare to get close, everyone else their youthful energy into the fight. This was far more passiohan anything in Boruto.
Eda, being a girl, naturally had a weaker physique pared to the boys.
However, she pensated by fighting dirty and going for critical hits, making up for her physical disadvantage. Moreover, with the Weasley twins proteg her, she had much of the pressure taken off her.
Fred and Gee had remarkable resiliend were among the top fighters in this group of first-year kids. As members of the loyal and brave Weasley family, their quality was indeed guaranteed.
The fight tinued, and Eda's mouth was bruised from an unnoticed punch, and she had some footprints on her clothes. But pared to her achievements, her injuries were insignifit.
With the help of the twins, Eda finally found an opening and appeared in front of the fallen Avery, kig and pung him.
She khe importance of finishing off an oppo, and for Avery, already ihis was adding insult to injury.
Eda's personality had always been all or nothing.
If she chose to stand up for the Weasley brothers, she inteo make a signifit impact, at least ensuring that Avery wouldn't dare to act up again.
As Eda tinued her assault, two angry voices rang out, one male and one female.
"Stop it!"
"Stop!"
