Chapter 80: The banned move

"And another one! That makes this ten to zero!" James chuckled.

"That's not fair, you two are grown-ups!" Lyra huffed.

The next morning, their father called him and his sister to have a fun Quidditch game in the backyard.

It was a two versus two, so both teams played as chasers, and they had no keeper and no beaters.

Remus was not incredible by any means, but he was not a bad flyer either. After all, the man worked for the Numbus company, traveling around the world and making deals to sell brooms.

He was also using a prototype of the Nimbus 2100, a broom that would not appear on the market for a few more months.

His father James however, was still an amazing player. Even though he doesn't play much anymore, he still remains very close to the level of the professionals. If he never became interested in becoming an Auror, he could have definitely had a future in the big leagues.

On the other team were only Lyra and Harry.

Lyra had a talent for flying but was still a beginner.

And Harry wasn't trying too hard at the moment, he just enjoyed the feeling of flying around in peace.

"Come on, Harry!. We have to at least score one point against those two!" Lyra exclaimed.

Harry grinned.

"Okay, let's do one point to shut them up."

He could not deny that request.

"I know about that!, that's the most basic stuff!" Lyra huffed.

"Wait, so you are saying that Harry used the magic broom as if it was a wand?"

"Something like that...brooms absorb a very small amount of magic as you fly. This is done automatically by the rune cluster inscribed on the wood. But if you manually add more magic...is possible to make the brook travel faster for a short period of time." Remus explained.

"Then what's the problem?" Lyra did not understand why they were upset. It seemed like Harry had done something admirable.

"The problem is that the broom has no core to store the magic, it all goes to the rune cluster and this one is very easy to burn down. If you burn down the runes, then your flying broom becomes a regular broom." It was Harry the one who explained it.

"And you fall..." Added Lyra.

"So you knew how dangerous it was." James glanced at him.

"Is not to bad if you only do it for a second." Harry shrugged.

"Harry, there is a good reason that tactic is banned from professionals. quidditch. People have died in the past for doing that." Explain Remus.

"Okay, I get it. Why don't we end the game here? Lyra asked me to score one point and that is done. We can take a break now." Harry did not feel like arguing about flying safety with his father and uncle.

"Yes, let's do that. We should get cleaned up before lunch," said James.

"Ah, Harry," Remus called him.

"Are you excited about your twelve birthday?. Is there something in particular you want as a present?"

"Are you going to give him a vampire tunic or something?" Lyra asked. She was still bitter about her souvenir.

Remus chuckled.

"No...that would make him look like Snape."

"Haha! Yeah. I bet that's where he gets those ugly robes he always wears." James laughed.

"There is nothing in particular that I need, Uncle Remus."

"Well, it is difficult to give a good to those who need nothing," Remus said.

"I would like some more earnings." Lyra chipped in.

"You just got those!" James pointed.

"Hehe, I'll remember it for your birthday, Lyra. I promise."
