The flames burned brightly, and Dewey did a little magic at this point...This was a fire magic he had just learned and solskjaer had come up with a little additive which would further enhance the burning effect of gunpowder.

"This thing is called a hot air balloon!My dear Matt."Dewey had a big smile.

It was the result of a month's hard work!In the meantime, though, nearly fifty pieces of first-class hide were damaged...The skins were bought for pennies on the dollar from the furrier who first bought the naming rights to the team.

Dewey ignored Marder's blank stare and briefly introduced his new invention.

Mr. Mudd, the former groom, the present master, the director of the Football Centre, the president of the Football Association, was already feeling faint. He looked at the master and stammered: "Master...You -- you mean, this thing, it flies?You mean 'fly'?Did I hear you right?"

'That's right, my dear Matt!Dewey laughed. "So now I give you an honor!Join me for the first test flight!This is a historic moment!You are the first human to fly into the sky without the help of any magic or other magical creatures!!"

What followed was like a dream for old Maud!
