[Remember, Sam wasn't just told, he saw. Phoenix levitated the treats for his niffler using his wand. I think Sam literally asked him to in order to prove that magic is real.]
Well...Jacob thought, as he would take part in the sense that he'd allowed Hunter to use things for a prank if he asked which the boy had learned to do in the last few years in certain cases. But that likely wasn't Sam's point and Jacob felt it better to not cimplicate it.
"No, I wouldn't," he confirmed as he stared at the Daily Prohpet's front page considering his next step. Then he registered what photograph he was looking at, remembered something.
"Hunter, you want to show Sam the biggest thing I bought you this weekend?" he suggested, confident that it was the least mind-boggleing for the young boy at this time, being a natural progress from the photo on the front page.
"Ooh! Really??" Hunter perked up from the pile of magical toys and sweets on his bed.
"Yes, at this point I think it's actually a very goo idea," Jacob assured. Before he'd even finished saying that Hunter had alreay ran into the hallway and the walk-in closet by the staircase and quickly returned with a broomstick in his hands. It wasn't the one from the Daily Prophet front page photo, but of similar basic design as both were racing brooms.
"Levitate like this?" Hunter asked as he put the broomstick down on the floor next to himself. Hovering his right hand above it he focused all of his attention on the broomstick, staring at it intensely and with clear intent the boy said only one word.
"Up!"
The broomstick shot directly up to meet his palm. Hunter wrapped his hand around the shaft for a a couple of seconds, then let go. The broom stick didn't fall back on the floor or even lower at all, it kept floating in the air on the level he'd held his hand. It was at the perfect height for him to mount it if he wanted to but he opted not to just yet.
"It's a Comet 260, a racing broom," he introduced it proudly for a moment forgetting that Sam was not one of his wizard friends who knew all about brooms. This wasn't the newest and greatest of racing brooms but had been on the market for a few years now and the very best ones were naturally meant for professional Quidditch players and other experienced flyers, but this was still one of the best models available targettting the general public. And, as Jacob had been told, the best model for beginners.
"My previous broomstick was a toy, it didn't go very high or fast. This is a real one."
"It may look strange and uncomfortable," Jacob added, "but sitting on one of those feels similar to a bycycle seat, only softer. And blanaced even when it's not moving. Of course it takes a lot of practice before one learns how to control those as that is nothing like a bike."
"It probably looks strange and unsafe to you," Jacob added, "But sitting on one of those feels similar to sitting on a bycycle, only softer, and blanaced even when it's not moving "
