Chapter 83 Flying Broom
"Dumbledore! Are you home?" Kane knocked on the door and quickly received a response.
"Please come in."
Kane walked in carrying his walking stick and saw that Dumbledore seemed to have a cold and was wiping his nose with a tissue.
"Ah, Kane, is something wrong now?" Dumbledore asked after rubbing his nose one last time.
"I want to learn how to make a flying broomstick. I want to make one myself." Kane placed his walking cane, which was almost as tall as himself, on Dumbledore's desk: "Use this as the base."
After saying that, he propped himself up on his hands and sat down in the chair, leaning back comfortably.
"Hmm, this... the acceleration ability of this cane isn't some kind of magical circuit. On the contrary, this cane is formed from a kind of speed magic or rule. It's quite remarkable," Dumbledore said, picking up the walking cane from his desk and examining it.
"So it's possible?" Kane raised an eyebrow. "I only need the principle of the flying broom. As for the manufacturing process, I can handle it myself. I think I'm pretty good with my hands."
"Hmm, to be able to scavenge through trash at Hogwarts and create such a large portal, I would absolutely disagree with anyone who says you're not good with your hands." Dumbledore smiled as he stood up and rummaged through the bookshelves.
After all, he was young once, and back then he tried to assemble a flying broom that was entirely his own.
Just like how 17 or 18-year-olds love motorcycles, although some of the designs may seem outdated by today's standards, the overall concept is definitely sound.
After all, those were ideas he came up with through correspondence with Nicolas Flamel.
He quickly pulled out two sheets of paper clipped together from a notebook. On them were his old design drawings for his flying broom. Ah, thinking about it now, I really feel a bit nostalgic.
The original idea was that once the broom was in place, two brooms could be added to the left and right sides, and a person could sit in the back.
Gale will sit on the left, Aberforth on the right, and Ariana will sit in the back as the four of them travel around England together.
Young people's ideas are always so imaginative, and they also have a bit of naivety. They want everything, but end up with nothing.
Dumbledore stared at the few pages of design drawings in his hand, motionless for a few seconds, then sighed and pulled out the two pages about adding a broom and a rear seat, handing the main design drawings to Kane.
"Although some of the designs are outdated, the basic principles are still good. In fact, because it was designed and made by ourselves, some of the core designs are even better than the Nimbus 2001 that was recently released."
Kane took the design drawings and glanced through them. Well, although they were mostly about magic circuits and alchemy, surprisingly, he could understand some of them.
After placing the blueprints and walking stick inside the little pumpkin, he was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned back, and asked, "Harry has to stay with the Dursleys indefinitely because of magic? What's the minimum duration?"
Dumbledore smiled and replied, "Perhaps a month."
"Understood, thirty-one days." Kane said as he left the principal's office. Today was Saturday, no classes, so he could find a place to properly study how to hand-craft this flying broom.
library...
Hermione, who was diligently working on her final exams, was suddenly sitting down next to Kane when Kane sat down next to her. Driven by curiosity, she glanced at him briefly.
Hmm... the design sketches for the flying broom look like they're custom-made.
It's understandable; many rich kids in the Muggle world enjoy DIYing motorcycles, sports cars, and even abstract performance art like using gold brake pads.
I won't look, I won't look. As long as I don't look, my Daoist heart won't be corrupted.
Just like Hermione's diligent studies, Kane was also diligently researching flying brooms.
Besides the fact that the main body of the flying broom has been confirmed to be a walking cane, it also needs energy, which requires magic stones or magic interfaces. Here, you can choose to use magic runes to directly draw a magic interface that absorbs wizard magic. Anyway, Kane doesn't have much of anything else, but he has a lot of magic.
Another point is the flying ability of the flying broom. Ordinary flying brooms require the feathers of some very powerful magical birds. Of course, Kane, an orphan and poor student, certainly didn't have such good resources.
I'll go ask Dumbledore for some phoenix feathers to tide me over.
Finally, there's the control. You can ask Hagrid if he has any suitable animal horns. He prefers handlebars like those on bicycles or motorcycles to a broom.
Oh right, and most importantly, you can get the broomsticks by going directly to the Forbidden Forest to pull weeds, and plant two tree spirits in the Forbidden Forest to get the other parts. You can then borrow the fake living wood and get them all.
Meanwhile, Hermione on the other side... emmm...
Although she didn't want the Celestial Dragons to disturb her resolve, she was still quite curious overall.
After all, while most young wizards can get their hands on Hogwarts and brag about it just by having a Nimbus or a sweeping motion, your friend is figuring out how to handcraft his own unique broom.
Everyone would be curious.
Just as she decided to ask Kane what his plans were...
"Where is he?" Hermione asked in surprise, looking at Kane who had just been sitting next to her.
"This person is becoming more and more like a ghost; he walks without making a sound," Hermione remarked helplessly.
Dumbledore, who had just seen Kane off not long ago, hadn't even decided which dessert shop to have for dinner yet when Kane showed up again.
"Dumbledore~" Kane said with a grin.
Having made flying brooms himself, Dumbledore knew what Kane was up to. He opened his drawer and counted twelve phoenix feathers: "The core of the Y12 broom is faster than Nimbus 2001. Of course, the most important thing is your skill."
"Thanks. I still have to go to Hagrid's place, so I won't bother you any longer." Kane took the feather and left, wasting no time as he headed to his next destination.
Soon, Hagrid, who was giving Walnuts a bath, also encountered Hogwarts' famous beggar, who was only available for today.
"Hagrid, do you have any horn or anything else that would be suitable as a control stick for a flying broom?" Kane asked from a distance.
"How about the Thunderbird's claws? One on the left and one on the right can just serve as two handles. I don't know why you like that style of broom, though. It's easy for it to slip and turn if you're not careful, and it might throw you off." Hagrid said as he walked into the house and found two claws that were thirty centimeters long for Kane. They were rounded and had a slight curve, with a hint of blue electricity hidden in their black color.
As Kane listened to Hagrid's explanation, he mentally translated what Hagrid was saying.
Unstable handling is equivalent to rear-wheel drive; easy steering and slippage is equivalent to drifting.
Who says this is bad? This is really great!
After stuffing everything into the little pumpkin's belly, Kane decided this would be his last adventure into the Forbidden Forest this semester.
However, this time it's not about taking advantage of those poor little spiders. This time it's purely about causing some minor but indelible damage to the greening of the earth. Well, you could call it destruction; at worst, I'll just plant a few saplings after I finish cutting down the tree demon.
Soon, the amount of vegetation in the prohibited forests will reach N—2+3+3+3.
From that day until the final dinner a week later, whenever Kane had time, he was either carving magic runes or seeking out professors to learn about magic runes.
Finally, shortly before the end-of-term dinner, I managed to handcraft a decent-looking flying broom within a week.
Its less-than-sleek shape, combined with the powerful Y12 broom core, a broom seat made of live wood, and a handle with Thunderbird claw-like claws, is enough to make any animal or plant protection association scream.
The only relatively smooth part of the broom was its straw tail. When Kane carried the broom on his back, the straw tail bounced up and down like a ponytail as he walked.
The other young wizards didn't say much about it.
Hogwarts' famous cross-dressing enthusiasts are so different from this style?
Surely no one would have even the slightest opinion on this.
The only criticism Dumbledore had after the broomstick was invented came the next day. Looking at Kane about to take off on the shore of the Black Lake, he said wistfully, "Traveling alone on a broomstick is a bit unreliable."
"So?" Kane was curious about what kind of trick Dumbledore was up to this time.
"I'm thinking, is it necessary to assign you a travel companion or something?" Dumbledore stroked his chin, offering a bad suggestion.
