I’m actually a big fan of flying carpets and air boats but those aren’t really used in the United Kingdom sadly. “I will let you know after you ride the Knight Bus,” Flitwick said with an ominous look. “Are all forms of magical transportation rough?” Harry asked. “That was your first Floo trip? Oh yes, most throw up or fly farther.” “Ah, well done Harry,” he smiled and helped Harry to his feet and cleaned him up with waves of his wand. Before any approached, however, Flitwick came stepping out neatly from the hearth. Some looked at him curiously, more suspiciously. Most were walking past or doing other things but a few stood and stopped and stared at him. Rough laughter and snorts could be heard and when he looked up, head spinning slightly, he saw goblins around. He tumbled out the opposite hearth and landed in a heap, winded. The fire and flames were not hot but the air rushed past him and soon he was practically launched out. Everything swirled around him and he could hear a riot of noises as he did. He yelped when he felt himself be whisked away by magic. Harry took a deep breath, and after an encouraging nod and smile from Flitwick, took a hesitant step into the Floo fire. Normally you state the destination before stepping in but this one is only connected to one other so go on, take a step in.” “Does it hurt?” Harry asked, looking at the fire with trepidation. What I used is a variant that is only used by goblins, normal Floo is green.” We travel from magical fireplace to magical fireplace using Floo powder. He flung a handful in and the fire turned silver-gold. He conjured a roaring flame in his hearth and dipped a hand into a pot of golden powder. ![]() “I believe you will,” Flitwick said sincerely. He had heard what the Dursleys had said to him when he left their home the week prior, told by a still seething Dumbledore, and he too had been incredibly peeved. “I think I can handle it, or try to,” Harry said with a small weak smile.įlitwick looked at him proudly and a little sadly. I have no doubts that you will learn and benefit from the position and you will enjoy yourself. “That said, you are no stranger to adversity and I have personally seen your composure and grit. He patted Harry’s hand when Harry gulped. There are some with very strong feelings about magical humans, very strong feelings that may not be terribly positive. You will experience a bit of difficulty where we are going. “Good good.” They entered Flitwick’s office and Flitwick looked up at Harry, his easy-going expression becoming more serious. “I still don’t like rude people much but I think I’ve gotten better with dealing with it.” “As in some of the patrons at the Hog’s Head? I’ve gotten better,” Harry said truthfully. “How have you gotten with working with…let’s just say, less polite people?” “They are fine folk.” He hummed for a moment. “Aberforth is a good judge of character and has a wealth of experiences worth listening to, if you can make it past his gruff exterior,” Flitwick continued. She had pushed a flagon over someone’s head at the Hog’s Head once, after magically enlarging it of course. He and Harry chuckled and Harry knew she would do something like that. Something about pushing someone’s head into a cauldron not being an acceptable response.” ![]() I once asked her why she doesn’t teach the class here and she said her brothers wouldn’t let her. “Ariana is very talented with potions and she is very cheery. He and Harry started walking down the hall, away from Gryffindor tower. Abe and Auntie Ari are a lot of fun too and they know a lot.” I’ve learned a lot and I think I’ve gotten faster which is nice. “You look very good I see working at the Hog’s Head agrees with you.” “Ah Harry, splendid to see you!” Flitwick smiled at Harry warmly. ![]()
