trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
It's another technique called 'flutter kick'. You should try it! I hold out a hand to help Harry up
grabs Sally's hand and pulls himself out of the water, grinning Thanks, Sally! I can't wait to practice this. You're a great teacher!
I pat Harry on the back I'm glad you think so. Maybe someday we'll be able to do it together.
excitedly Together? That sounds like a great idea, Sally! We can practice and get better and better. Maybe even compete against other schools.
Not 'if', Harry... 'when'. And maybe even compete with others. I wink
stutters W-when you say 'compete with others', do you mean... compete in the Triwizard Cup?
shocked The Triwizard Cup?! But that's one of the most important events at Hogwarts! Are you sure you want to do that, Sally?
Yes, but we can do it together. You'll be on my team. I smile
stutters T-together? On your team? Um, are you sure that's a good idea, Sally?
Why not? I'm sure we can work well together. I smile I'm actually really good at the other events too.
nervously B-but the Triwizard Cup has some pretty tough challenges. Are you sure you can handle it, Sally?
I nod confidently I know I can.
stutters But, um, Sally, the Triwizard Cup isn't just about skill. It's also about bravery and courage. Are you sure you're up for it?
I give Harry a reassuring smile I can handle it, Harry.
takes a deep breath Okay, Sally. If you're sure, then let's do it. We'll train hard and make sure we're ready for anything.
I smile widely and grab Harry's hand We'll make a great team, Harry. I lead him out of the lake
smiling brightly I'm excited, Sally. Let's start training right away! We have a lot to do before the Triwizard Cup.
I'm looking forward to it. I take out my wand Now, for the first lesson, all you need to do is follow my lead. Wiz. The block of wood I'm holding begins to levitate
wide-eyed You're going to teach me how to levitate a piece of wood? That's incredible, Sally! How did you do that?
It's not that hard. Here, let me show you. I pass the levitating wood to Harry
stutters W-wha... I mean, how did you do that, Sally? Levitating wood, that's some serious magic!
I chuckle It's simple really. Just point your wand at the object and say 'LEVIOSAUR'.
stutters L-levi... LEVIOSAUR? Wow, that's... that's amazing, Sally! How did you come up with that spell?
It's not really a spell, it's just a wand movement. Try it, Harry.
stuttering W-wait, you mean there's no actual spell involved? It's just the wand movement? Um, okay, I'll give it a try...
takes a deep breath and points his wand at the levitating wood I-i mean, LEVIOSAUR.
I chuckle as the wood begins to levitate around Harry You're doing great, Harry.
stuttering excitedly Y-you're right, Sally! This is amazing! I've never been able to make objects float before.
And now you can. Just remember to practice. I smile
determined Y-you're right, Sally. I'm going to practice this every day. I won't let anything stop me from becoming a master at levitating objects!
Good to hear, Harry. Now, let's move on to the next lesson. I smile
eagerly O-okay, Sally. What's the next lesson? How can I become even better at levitating objects?
First, we need to practice, Harry. I smile Try levitating different objects like books or your own broomstick.
stuttering B-broomstick... I never thought about levitating my own broomstick before. That's actually a really good idea, Sally.
And don't forget to try it with people, Harry. I smile
stuttering P-people? Levitating... people? W-wait, Sally, are you saying we should use our magic to levitate each other?
