I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 39 The Correct Way to Use a Flying Broomstick

"Let me correct you first. It wasn't me bullying them, but them bullying me. I was just acting in self-defense."

Chu Yang did not back down despite Snape's anger. He kept his eyes fixed on Snape and retorted calmly, "When they pick up their wands, of course I will pick up my wand in retaliation. We are all wizards; are we the only ones who know magic?"

Snape sneered, "Can you guarantee your spells are as effective as your fists?"

Chu Yang shrugged, his face full of relief. "We'll find out when the time comes. Don't worry, I'll report to you as soon as the results are in."

Snape knew why Chu Yang was so fearless. Professor McGonagall had just explained to him that any retaliatory action Chu Yang took in Slytherin was approved by Headmaster Dumbledore.

"If you're serious, then I admire your courage." Snape turned indifferently, walked to the podium, and announced loudly, "Disrespecting a professor, showing no respect for elders, Slytherin loses 5 points!"

Chu Yang looked on in astonishment.

Good grief, Snape is really worried. This is the first time I've ever seen him deduct points from his own house!

In just one day, Slytherin lost 10 points because of Chu Yang!

In terms of deducting points, he has clearly taken the lead over the trio.

Am I going to become the new king of point deductions?

As we all know, the "Big Three" usually consists of four people, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" usually consists of five people...

The only thing Chu Yang didn't want to do was to be on par with the other three when it came to deducting points.

The first Potions class of the semester was unusually heavy. Snape, who was already in a bad mood, paced around each new student like the Grim Reaper while teaching, the sound of his leather shoes on the floor was exceptionally clear.

Throughout the entire class, Snape didn't even glance at Chu Yang.

He thought this might put some pressure on Chu Yang, but he underestimated Chu Yang's psychological maturity.

Snape's ability to intimidate students was far inferior to that of Chu Yang's high school homeroom teacher, and even less than that of his physical education teacher.

Every student who has gone through compulsory education can adapt well to the intensity of Hogwarts' teaching.

Only native British people would feel stressed.

As soon as get out of class ended, all the freshmen rushed out of the classroom, but Chu Yang, who had clashed with Snape, leisurely packed up his textbooks and was the last one to leave.

"Thank you for today's lesson, Professor Snape. I learned a lot that isn't in the textbook." Chu Yang bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Watching Chu Yang's departing figure, Snape's frosty face gradually softened.

Snape's expression grew increasingly dazed as he murmured, "If only I had been as brave as him back then, Lily might have..."

In the empty classroom, only Snape's voice echoed for a long time.

Lunch break time has arrived. After a morning of mental torment, the first-year students finally have time to calm their young minds, which have been through a lot during this period.

Inside the auditorium, the freshmen subconsciously sat in seats far away from Chu Yang. After learning that Chu Yang had defeated so many boys by himself, he had left a less than positive impression on everyone.

As for the deeds of non-purebloods fighting against purebloods, they will not be hailed as heroic here.

Even if the concepts of pureblood and non-pureblood are put aside, no one wants to associate with Chu Yang, because he has offended too many people this time!

You should know that every student who enters Slytherin has considerable power behind them; it is the cradle of pure-blood wizards!

Chu Yang understood all of this very well, and he wasn't so naive as to hold a grudge against those who distanced themselves from him. Avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune is human instinct.

To Chu Yang's surprise, someone suddenly sat down in the seat opposite him.

It was neither Hermione, nor Harry, nor Ron.

It's Neville Longbottom!

Holding the food, Nawi said with a simple, honest smile, "I didn't have a chance to thank you when we crossed the lake, so now I have the opportunity."

"Don't be so polite." Chu Yang propped his chin on one hand and tapped the table lightly with the other. "Are you sure you want to sit here?"

Neville hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, if you don't like me sitting here, I can find another place."

"That's not what I meant." Chu Yang waved his hand and explained, "You're standing so close to me, aren't you afraid they'll isolate you the way they isolated me?"

Neville scratched his head and said, "No, they just don't understand you. After a while, they'll realize they've misunderstood you."

Chu Yang chuckled. Judging from his tone, this guy acted as if he knew him very well.

Suddenly, several more little wizards appeared next to Chu Yang's seat.

As expected, it will be one of the three major deductions.

"There are some parts of this book that I don't understand. Can you teach me?" Hermione placed a very thick book in front of Chu Yang. Although she was asking for help, her attitude seemed to be completely different.

Harry and Ron sat diagonally opposite Chu Yang and joked around, occasionally asking him about the "details of the battle" the night before.

"I heard from Goyle that you kicked Blaise so hard he flew through the air!" Ron asked excitedly, "You really didn't use any magic?"

Chu Yang laughed and said, "The wand was in the box, I didn't have a chance to take it, so of course it's not a spell."

Ron exclaimed, "You're incredibly strong!"

After the three of them sat down and started chatting, it wasn't long before Ron's brothers also sat down next to them, and Chu Yang's surroundings began to "normalize".

Fred and George winked at Chu Yang.

Having clearly learned of his "feat," the two men kept asking him questions, instantly making the area lively.

Then, a series of clear chirping sounds rang out above the auditorium, and countless owls flew in through the skylight, each with something hanging from its beak and claws.

Hey! My email arrived!

The surprised shouts made Chu Yang realize that it was a student's family package that had arrived. Speaking of which, starting a delivery company using owls to deliver lightweight packages should be very profitable, right?

A newspaper fell on Ron and Harry's table, and after asking about it, the latter eagerly opened it.

Chu Yang vaguely remembered... This newspaper reported the theft from Gringotts, where the vault originally contained the Philosopher's Stone, which could grant immortality, but Dumbledore sent Hagrid to retrieve it ahead of time.

The three who were penalized were completely focused on the newspaper, unaware that its contents were quietly lying inside Hogwarts.

The first period in the afternoon was Mrs. Hooch's flight lesson, and the freshmen were already unable to contain their excitement.

Flight is humanity's ultimate dream, and it fascinates both wizards and Muggles.

Mrs. Hodge strode through the group of newborns and announced loudly, "Welcome to your first flight lesson."

"Please place your right hand above the broom and say, 'Control the broom to fly into your hand.' This is the first step in establishing a connection between you and the flying broom."

As they were talking, Mrs. Huo Qi felt something was amiss, because one of the students jumped directly onto the broom, placed both feet on the flying broom, and made a strange pose.

Under her horrified gaze, the boy with the Asian face shouted!

"rise!"

good news.

The broom really did fly!

bad news.

People fly while standing on it!!!
