Magical Studies at Hogwarts

No one would have thought that in the first class of Apparition, they would go straight into practice.

Apparition is not an ordinary magic. It is very dangerous. If it is not performed properly, it is very likely to cause disintegration.It would be fine if the parts were arms and legs, but if it were the neck... it would be terrible.

"Alright, everyone, stand up and leave five feet of space in front of you." Vicky Tycross said, and chaos ensued in the auditorium.The students scattered in all directions, many of them bumped into each other.He also spoke loudly to tell those who bumped into him to leave.

This kind of chaotic scene must have happened many times before. The deans were very experienced in walking around among the students, adjusting them and arranging their positions accordingly.

In this chaos, Harry lowered his body, quickly passed through the crowd, and made his way to the back of the line.There stood Malfoy and his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle. Harry had seen them arguing about something before and wanted to listen.

"I don't know how long it will take, you know?" Harry was hiding at the back and saw Malfoy and Crabbe yelling angrily.The chaos of the Great Hall gave them good cover, and no one except Harry noticed them.

"Listen! It's none of your business what I'm doing, Crabbe!" Malfoy didn't see Harry sneaking around and still yelled, "You and Goyle just carry out my orders and stand guard for me!"

Crabbe and Goyle had ugly expressions on their faces, but Malfoy was still full of anger and stared at them fiercely.But it may have been a long-standing habit. Even if Malfoy's tone was very unpleasant, Crabbe and Goyle had no intention of talking back.

Malfoy knew that the two of them would react like this, so he cursed a few more times, feeling a little less angry.He raised his head with his hands on his hips, only to see Harry sneaking behind and eavesdropping.

Without any hesitation, he directly drew his wand and pointed it at Harry, with a fierce look in his eyes, and was about to attack.

"Quiet!" At this moment, the deans shouted in unison, and the stern voice made the auditorium instantly quiet.

"Thank you." Tycross thanked him and waved the wand in his hand. A circle made of wood immediately appeared on the ground in front of each student.

"Remember the three most important D's of Apparition! They are..." Tycross said in a serious tone, "Your target is in the circle in front of you... Listen to my command!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone spun on the spot, but everyone failed.Harry lost his balance and fell to the ground, Neville was lying on his back, and everyone was swaying.

There were some who got into the circle, but they were thrown in by the wood because they turned too hard.

He was very embarrassed, and his face was blue when he landed on the ground.

The next few times did not have any good results, and they all failed without exception.But on the fourth time, everyone was attracted by a startled breath.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Hufflepuff Susan Bones standing swaying in the circle.Unable to stand still because she left her left leg outside the circle.

The deans and Tycross all gathered around, and after a burst of purple smoke, by the time they dispersed, Susan's leg had returned to where it should be.

"Remember the three Ds! Come on, continue..."

Everyone continued to try, but apart from bursts of laughter and exclamations, there was no other gain.

The same was true for Harry. He kept remembering the three D's mentioned by Tycross in his mind, but except for making himself dizzy, nothing else happened.

He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. After all, he was the one who had accompanied Dumbledore on his Apparition twice. Even just a few days ago, he was the envy of others.But it turns out that experience does not allow him to learn to apparate smoothly.

After practicing for a while, Harry decided to give up.Anyway, this is not a magic that is easy to master, so it is better to have fun watching other people's embarrassment.

The first thing he looked at was Malfoy, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Malfoy looked really miserable now.His hair was messy and his clothes were full of dust. After another attempt, he spun too much and accidentally lost his footing, staggering into Crabbe.

Coincidentally, Crabbe's foot also became weak, and the two of them collided directly, injuring Goyle next to him.

Then, a tragic thing happened: the lanky Malfoy became the flesh pad of the strong Crabbe and Goyle...

Harry swore the floor of the Great Hall shook as they fell.

After reading Malfoy's joke, Harry looked for Ron and Hermione in the crowd. He wanted to see the progress of his friends.

Of course, it was mainly Ron, because Hermione found it at a glance: she was the only one in the entire auditorium who didn't try.

"Miss Granger, why don't you give it a try?" Professor McGonagall also noticed the unusual Hermione and came to her side and asked.

"Professor McGonagall, do we have to complete these twelve weeks of classes before we can take the exam?" she asked.

"Yes, but that will be twelve weeks later. What you have to do now is practice, Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall seemed to think that Susan's accident scared Hermione, so she encouraged, "Although Just try, I’ll be right there and you’ll be fine.”

"Professor, actually... I want to take the exam directly..." Halfway through her words, Hermione saw Professor McGonagall's serious face.He spread his hands, shrugged, and then turned his body, and when he reappeared, he had fallen into the circle intact.

"Have you practiced secretly on your own, Hermione?" Professor McGonagall looked more serious and said with a straight face, "Do you know how dangerous this is?"

"No, Professor, I swear this is my first time trying it." Hermione replied, "I know the dangers of Apparition, but I have read many related books before, and I have basically mastered the theoretical knowledge. And after listening to Tek After Professor Ross’s explanation, I felt again: I can do it as long as I try.”

"That's it... However, I still hope that you will insist on completing these twelve weeks of classes. After all, apart from here, you can't apparate in other places in Hogwarts. It just so happens that you can consolidate it here and let the phantom appear into your body. instinct."

"I understand, Professor McGonagall." Hermione nodded, turning around and appearing outside the circle.

"Then, that's it." Professor McGonagall said and left.She couldn't stay with Hermione for long, the other students needed her more.

Hermione's performance naturally caught the attention of others. As soon as Professor McGonagall left, Lavender and Parvati came over and asked her if she had any tips.

"Of course not! And didn't Professor Tycros already emphasize the three D principles..."

As she was smiling and talking, Hermione's expression suddenly changed, and her hand naturally fell on her chest, covering the necklace pendant that had been unresponsive for a long time.

It is slightly hot, and it alternates between cold and hot in a rhythmic manner.If you identify it carefully, it is a message:

"To avoid any surprises, I want to tell you:

It's my honor to meet you and get to know you..."
