That's right, the wire is George's trump card for controlling the flying broom.
How well a flying broom flies primarily depends on the Wizard's proficiency in operating it.
By wrapping a circle of wire around the flying broom, in addition to controlling it with magic, he can also make more precise adjustments with magnetic force, providing a double guarantee.
In reality, with his clone's weight of several tens of pounds, magnetic force alone would be enough to make it fly, just not as fast as a flying broom.
He also applied this technique to his magic wand; there's a circle of wire at the tail of his magic wand, the purpose of which is to instantly summon it back if it slips from his hand.
"Hold your broom steady, rise a few feet, then lean slightly forward and descend vertically back to the ground.
Listen for my whistle: 3-2-1!"
As Madam Hooch's whistle sounded, the little Wizards simultaneously pushed off, riding their flying brooms into the air.
However, most of them weren't very stable once airborne, carefully maintaining their positions, but there were also some who, already having experience, flew very well and quickly, such as Ginny.
"Ginny, excellent, you're flying quite well."
Ginny's outstanding performance quickly caught Madam Hooch's attention, and she couldn't help but praise her loudly, preparing to add points to Gryffindor, but she was soon interrupted by a gasp of surprise.
Turning her head to look towards the Slytherin side on the right, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face.
"Oh, Merlin, this is the Seahorse Inverted Hang, the Woollongong 'Z' Flight, the Sloth Grip Roll, the Porskoff Ploy—this is impossible!"
What did she see? She saw George, the star of Slytherin, performing high-difficulty Quidditch maneuvers that only World-class Quidditch athletes could master.
For example, the Seahorse Inverted Hang is a move only top flying broom keepers would know.
When the quaffle is about to enter the goal and there's no time to defend, one immediately hangs upside down on the flying broom with one leg, blocking the quaffle by spreading all four limbs.
The Woollongong 'Z' Flight is a superb technique where Chasers move at high speed in a zig-zag pattern to confuse opposing Chasers.
The Sloth Grip Roll is an extremely difficult maneuver where, when a bludger attacks, a player hangs onto the broom, gripping the broomstick tightly with both hands and feet, rapidly spinning the flying broom like a drill to deflect the bludger.
The Porskoff Ploy is when the Seeker pretends to see the Golden Snitch far below, diving sharply towards the ground, causing the opposing Seeker to imitate him. But the former stops his dive just before hitting the ground, leaving the opponent no time to react and causing him to crash into the ground and pass out.
This move requires extreme control of the flying broom by the Seeker.
If one could master even one of these four moves, they would be 100% qualified to apply for any position—Seeker, Chaser, Beater, or Keeper—on a national Quidditch team.
Even she couldn't smoothly complete all four moves, let alone with the school's instructional Cleansweep series brooms.
It's worth noting that the school's instructional Cleansweep series brooms have decades of history; while flying them for class is fine, if the speed is too high, they will vibrate and become difficult to control.
Yet, look at George; not only can he control it, but he can also perform these four high-difficulty classic maneuvers.
"Twenty points to Slytherin, you may practice freely. George, come with me!"
Once George landed steadily, Madam Hooch excitedly shouted and pulled George towards the Castle.
"Are you really riding a flying broom for the first time?"
As she walked, she asked in disbelief.
George nodded, pretending to be a bit shy:
"I couldn't ride where I live, but I've read some books and introductions about Quidditch."
He knew his plan had succeeded.
With the strength of his current body and the stable control of the flying broom by magnetic force, let alone the four moves just demonstrated, doing ballet on the flying broom or performing a few Thomas flares would be no problem at all.
"Oh, you really... this is incredible..."
Hearing George's answer, Madam Hooch was somewhat incoherent.
In the Slytherin Dean's office, Professor Snape was sitting in a chair writing his research notes on newly created Potions when he was suddenly disturbed by urgent knocking. He frowned and waved his magic wand to open the door.
"Madam Hooch, is there something particularly important that requires such urgency?"
Seeing that the visitors were Flying Class teacher Madam Hooch and his house's most outstanding student, he slightly relaxed his brow.
Madam Hooch excitedly pushed George in front of Professor Snape:
"Professor Snape, your Slytherin has produced a once-in-a-millennium Quidditch prodigy! You simply won't believe it; he performed... the first time he rode a flying broom, he performed..."
"Are all these things you're saying true?"
Hearing Madam Hooch's words, Professor Snape, who was usually expressionless, also lost his composure.
As the Dean of Slytherin, he had a very deep affection for Slytherin House, and he had always been bothered by Slytherin losing to Gryffindor last year, especially to Gryffindor with Harry.
If George truly possessed such powerful flying broom talent, then Slytherin would never lose again for the next seven years.
"I'm not yet at the age to be seeing things, and many of the children in your house also saw it."
Madam Hooch seemed a little angry at Professor Snape's skepticism.
Professor Snape quickly said:
"I'm not questioning you, I'm just a bit surprised."
He turned his head to look at George, showing a smile uglier than a cry:
"George, you're very good, you've always been very good.
This Saturday, I will personally arrange for you to join the Slytherin Quidditch team. If Gryffindor can make an exception, so can we in Slytherin!"
"Um... Professor, I don't really want to join the Quidditch team."
George replied, pretending to be a bit embarrassed.
Hearing George's words, Madam Hooch and Professor Snape both paused simultaneously, then almost simultaneously asked:
"Why?"
One must know that joining the Quidditch team is every little Wizard's dream, and George has such a high level of flying broom skill; he is simply a natural-born Quidditch player.
George looked up at Professor Snape and coughed:
"It's like this: compared to Quidditch, I prefer to study magic, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Professor Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class is... so I need more time to study on my own.
But after joining Quidditch, I would definitely have to train frequently, and then my time wouldn't be enough... sigh... self-study is still very difficult."
"What you say makes sense; compared to Quidditch, the study of magic is the fundamental thing, and that Lockhart fellow is indeed a fool... Hmm..."
Professor Snape couldn't help but fall into thought upon hearing this.
In his view, the study of magic was certainly more important than Quidditch, and he didn't have much interest in Quidditch himself; primarily, as Dean, he naturally hoped Slytherin could win the Quidditch Cup.
"Alright, you join the Slytherin team, and I will try my best to ensure they don't ask you to train. From now on, every weekend, I will dedicate half a day to tutor you specifically in Defense Against the Dark Arts Class."
