Now it's the flying class and everyone is excited about this. Especially after hearing that Rose Potter joined the quidditch team yesterday as a seeker. Henry looked around with found those who rode a broom at their homes before are bragging about how they flew into the clouds and then flew directly towards the ground stopping just a few inches before getting crashed to death.
Henry didn't say anything, he looked at the old brooms and frowned. Their circuits needs continuous maintenance. Madam hooch arrived and said," Good afternoon everyone. Now for your first flying lessons I don't want any accidents like griffyndoor and Slytherin. A boy broke his wrist and two reckless girls almost crashed into professor McGonagall's office. If anyone did anything unnecessary I'll ask him to get out of this class for this year ".
She arrived at the front and said," step beside your brooms and lift your right side then say up ", Henry looked at his broom and said," up ", it slid into his hands immediately and Henry passed magic into it. He felt the circuits in the broom and sighed in relief. No damage is done to them he can be safe.
Henry looked at the broom that is smoothly passing magic and checked once again for any abnormalities. Madam hooch at this moment said," okay students, now mount your brooms. On my signal gently push the ground. I repeat again gently kick the ground. Gently ".
All students mounted the broom while Henry suddenly noticed something is wrong. He opened byakugan and saw a magic thread trying to influence the broom on one of his room mates. This guy is one of those who will say things behind his back and often spoke to him harshly.
He frowned and deactivated bykugan while madam hooch whistled giving signal. He gently kicked the ground and flew above slowly. Madam hooch is giving instructions on how to fly while Henry observed that magic thread and it's origin is from the castle. It's none other than Albus Dumbledore.
He frowned even more and observed for a while flying when suddenly Anthony cried for help. His broom is shaking while flying fastly around in a berserk state. Henry gritted his teeth,' Dumbledore what are you planning?', he flew there when Anthony fell from his broom and grabbed that guy with one of his hands and landed gently on the ground.
He looked towards headmaster's office and frowned even more. ' is he testing me? But why? I'm not the propheced child not am I a child of any pureblood or influential family? Why is this old guy messing with me? ', Henry wanted his answer. He didn't trust Dumbledore too since the start.
Now looking at the manipulation in front of him he is sure this guy is scheming too. He put Anthony down and walked away slowly as madam hooch checked Anthony for any possibile injury and said," ten points to ravenclaw for Mr wells' timely rescue ".
The class is done as usual and Henry is thinking about what happened today? Why is Dumbledore paying attention to him? Can't he took care of his saviour girl who has that scary on her hand. Yes it's hand in this world.
She has the scary on the fore arm of her right hand. Henry is thinking about the possibilities why Dumbledore needs to pay attention to him at all? He has a bad past and obscurus. He is a diligent student in the eyes of professors. He has a strange magic to create clones connected to him.
Dumbledore either wants to use the power of obscurus to support his saviour girl in the war? or like Hermione in the movies Dumbledore is planning to influence and add him to the trio so he can be rest assured an obscurus wouldn't fall in another dark lord's hands. Is this why Dumbledore is doing this? What are you plotting now headmaster? Many questions ran in Henry's mind.
Whatever the reason. Henry's now full alert on Dumbledore. Anthony sat few feet away from him. Looking at Henry he hesitated, every other ravenclaw looked at Anthony with disbelief. That's the famous ungrateful thief in Hogwarts. Rumours also says he is a cruel wizard who is also searching for dark magic.
This one is also passed from Slytherin too. As the Ravenclaws looked at Anthony in disbelief, Anthony did something even more outrageous, he moved beside who is in deep thoughts and said," Henry, I Apologise for all the bad things I spoke about you. Forgive me, I'm wrong. I won't do this again".
Henry came back to his senses and blinked at Anthony. He nodded and said," it's alright. I didn't take it to heart anyway ", why would he be angry at these guys. Even if he is angry it'll be only momentary. Slytherin is the true culprit. Anthony nodded and extended his hand then said," can we be friends?".
Henry blinked again and shook his head then said," we can be, but I'm sure other ravenclaws will distance themselves from you for this. We can be friends but it'll be at a cost that you'll also be isolated from them. Do you really want that? ".
Anthony took his hand back and said," even if they don't agree you I'll be your friend. I know you're cold, aloof and wanted to stay alone. So I won't disturb you anymore. We'll talk later ", Anthony moved away and only said an excuse he thanked Henry for the rescue.
Others looked at Anthony and since Henry didn't shake Anthony's hand they didn't care much and buy the excuse. Meanwhile Henry put his hands on the table supporting his chin and is thinking about the events today.
