Chapter 233: True Slytherins Cannot Ride Brooms

Daphne really planned to try it as Les said.

She thought that since it was the best-performing broom, it must be the most comfortable to ride, right? So why not give it a try? Just treat it as lighting up a new skill.

Greengrass Manor was large, with plenty of space for her to practice. She changed into more convenient clothes, put on shoes, and walked out of the mansion with the broom.

Les and Astoria, who heard the sound, followed her.

"This broom is so beautiful!" Astoria was amazed by its appearance at the first sight of the broom: the overall broom was extremely elegant and streamlined. The ash wood handle of the broom was slender and straight, and the whole broom was shining after being polished with wax. The branches at the end of the broom were also carefully selected, not messy at all, and even gave people a smooth feeling.

Seeing that her sister and Les praised the appearance of the broom so much, Daphne couldn't help but feel happy.

"Can I feel it in my hand?" Astoria asked.

"Of course."

When Astoria took the broom, Daphne noticed that she was wearing a silver bracelet on her wrist.

"Eh? This is..."

"It's a Christmas gift from Les!" Astoria happily told her sister that she also had a treasure with the same function as her sister!

Daphne blinked: This thing is not a unique one?

She thought that she only had one treasure of this level of her necklace, but she didn't expect that Les could actually take out a magic prop with exactly the same function. Did he make it? There is one more mystery about Les.

When Astoria played with Daphne's broom, Les also took the broom and helped Daphne check the status of the broom.

Although he didn't know much about brooms, he knew a lot about magic. As soon as he got the broom, he knew that this broom was not simple. It was attached with very complex spells. On the one hand, it had an excellent braking spell, and on the other hand, it was very stable. If Harry had ridden such a broom last year, it was still unclear whether Quirrell could successfully interfere with his broom!

Les also noticed that there was a line of gold-plated words under the broom handle. He picked up the broom, turned it over, and found that it was written with the word "Firebolt".

"Strange name, never heard of it."

He knew that there were several flying broom companies in the magic world, among which the more famous ones were "Nimbus" and "Sweep", and as for "Firebolt", he had never heard of it before.

This is normal. The company that makes Firebolt is a product of "Ellerby and Badmore Broom Company". This company only made two brooms before: Off-string Arrow and Swift, and its popularity is not as good as the Nimbus and Sweep series. They also became famous after making Firebolt.

After returning the broom to Daphne, she ran to the garden outside the mansion excitedly to prepare for a test flight.

"Les, I suggest you be prepared. It feels like your sister will either fall off or hit a tree or a house on the broom." Astoria stood beside Les and whispered.

Rice pursed his lips. Although he didn't say it, he agreed with Astoria in his heart.

He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked at the girl and asked, "How good are you at riding a broom?"

The girl's face turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing her expression, Rice understood everything, and he laughed loudly.

Now Astoria's ears turned red.

"It's okay, real Slytherins don't know how to ride a broom." Rice comforted confidently: "Look at what kind of people are on the Quidditch team in the college? They are all guys who don't have the Slytherin spirit and ruin the reputation of the college."

It seems to be true! Astoria nodded thoughtfully, and the redness at the root of her ears also dissipated a lot.

It has to be said that although Rice's words are a bit nonsensical, they do make her feel comfortable.

"What is the spirit of Slytherin?"

This question made Rice a little difficult to answer, because it was difficult for him to summarize the answer for a while.

After thinking for a while, he had an idea and had a very good answer.

"If you look at Draco Malfoy from the opposite perspective, he should be the spirit of Slytherin." Les couldn't summarize the characteristics of the students he wanted in a moment, but he could summarize the characteristics of the students he didn't want.

"Oh!" Astoria's face showed a look of "sudden enlightenment", and she also felt that Malfoy was indeed a bit unremarkable.

"Then my sister and I..."

"You and your sister are both good children who inherited the spirit of Slytherin."

While the two were chatting, Daphne had already ridden on the broom.

"Let's go!" She kicked the ground with both feet, and rushed out like an arrow from a string, rising into the sky, followed by a scream that resounded through Greengrass Manor.

"Help, help, help--"

Astoria covered her eyes: It's really unbearable to watch! What is my sister doing? Even if the real Slytherin is not good at riding a broom, you are too outrageous.

Les also drew out his wand and aimed at Daphne who was moving rapidly in the sky.

The strong acceleration and strong wind made Daphne unable to open her eyes. After rising into the sky for a few seconds, she made a decision: jump down!

She was sure that Rice would definitely catch her.

Thinking of this, Daphne made a prompt decision and flipped off the broom.

Sure enough, Rice did not disappoint her. After flipping off the broom, she did not feel the weightlessness of falling to the ground quickly, but floated lightly in the air. Without the interference of the flying broom, she entered the field where Daphne was good at. She released the magic power in her body and controlled herself to slowly fall to the ground.

"There are many obstacles!" After casting a shock-absorbing spell on Daphne, Rice decisively cast a spell on the Firebolt that was left in the sky without anyone controlling it, and pulled it down.

"It looks... It's still a little unsuitable for me..." Daphne gradually regained her composure after returning to the ground. But thinking of her performance just now, her face couldn't help but get a little hot.

"Sister, what are you doing..." Astoria couldn't help but complain about her sister.

"The broom accelerated too fast. I just wanted it to float, but it took me flying," Daphne said with a red face, defending herself: "My mind was blank at the time, and I had no time to react!"

Les sighed on the side.

"Let's modify this broom." He held the broom he had taken from the sky in his hand and restricted its performance.

The flying broom manufacturer tried desperately to make the broom accelerate faster and have a higher maximum speed, but Les changed them all back. He greatly extended the acceleration time of the broom and locked the upper speed limit of the broom. Now this broom is not much faster than a bicycle.
