HP solves the mystery

Tycross talked about some rules about Apparition and emphasized, "Apparition and teleportation are generally not allowed in the school. The principal specifically revoked the magic and gave us only one hour of practice time in the auditorium. It is best not to try Apparition to Outside the auditorium walls, that’s not a smart move.”

Then all the sixth-grade students heeded the advice and began to disperse, creating chaos in the auditorium, with the deans interceding to leave five feet of space in front of them.

Potter took advantage of the gap to stand in a row with Lily, laughing and talking to her.

Sirius looked at Severus provocatively and waved his wand.

"Oh, Snape, what are you doing hiding in the corner? Why don't you show off your talent?" Mulciber, dressed in glittering gold and holding a wand, asked casually. Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Severus ignored Sirius and looked at the person approaching, wondering why this man was watching him all day long, and his location was not far or near, just among the students.

"If I were you, I wouldn't waste my precious study time bullying students of the same level." He pointed to Professor Flitwick, who was not far away and screamed to find a seat for several Ravenclaw students who were standing near the front. , looking at this coquettish wizard, said coldly, "You don't want to be thrown into Ravenclaw's territory, do you?"

Mulciber shrugged and was about to say something more, but the deans were shouting 'Quiet! ’, the noisy auditorium became quiet, and he could only turn around and walk towards Avery.

"Thank you," Tycros said to the deans, then looked at the students below and waved his wand, "Now please pay attention..."

After he waved his wand, an old-fashioned wooden circle appeared on the ground in front of each student.

"The most important thing to remember when apparating is to remember three things!" Tycross said, "First, focus all your attention on your target-the wooden circle!"

Severus looked at the dusty ground surrounded by the wooden circle, ignoring the glances around him and trying to concentrate.

"Secondly, be determined... to flood every pore of your body with desire! Including your fingernails!" Tycross continued, making a small joke, which made the nervous students relax a little.

Severus glanced at Mulciber out of the corner of his eye. He was staring at the wooden circle intently at the moment. He seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at him and quickly turned his head to glance.

"The last and most critical step is to stay calm and calm!" Tecros shouted, using the 'Loud Voice Spell' in his voice that echoed in the auditorium, "After I give the order... spin on the spot... enter the void state... now Follow my orders...One!..."

Many people were surprised to hear that Apparition was about to take place so soon, because they thought it would take a period of training before it officially started.

"two!"

Severus only felt that there was too little oral teaching on Apparition, and it was hard to imagine how many pages this course would have if it were written into a book.

"three!"

He heard the countdown of Tycros, blocked the random thoughts in his mind, tried to focus on his wooden circle, followed the instructions, and spun on the spot, almost tripping over the wizard's robe, and his body was swaying, but fortunately No falls.

The auditorium was in chaos, with swaying people everywhere.

Slytherin tried to stand upright in order to maintain his appearance.

Potter and the others in Gryffindor were even more exaggerated. Peter Pettigrew tripped over the wooden circle and fell to the ground. Sirius laughed when he saw him like this; Remus was far away and could only laugh helplessly. laugh.

"It's okay, kids, it's okay, let's continue..." Tycross said dryly. He knew the result of the first attempt, "Set up the wooden circle, let's try again..."

The second and third times were a little better, but equally fruitless. It wasn't until the sixth time that something unexpected happened.

There was a scream from the crowd, and everyone turned around in horror and saw a Hufflepuff witch standing swaying in the wooden circle, with her left leg below the calf outside the circle.

The deans gathered around her, and after a loud bang, the purple smoke dissipated, and the witch's calf was attached, but she was still sobbing uneasily.

The deans comforted them a few words and then walked aside to observe. They were used to this scene. In what year did they learn to apparate a few times?

"This is the consequence of not being determined enough. The phenomenon of separation is the first step for you to overcome... Don't panic, be calm and calm..." Tycros said lightly, walked forward and spun gracefully on the spot, then disappeared. Appeared again at the back of the auditorium.

"Okay, just like I just did, remember those three things... Very good, try it again..." He said, directing the sixth grade students to continue trying.

The following time was uneventful, nothing happened, and no one could successfully move into the circle.

"Everyone, see you next Saturday. You must remember: goal, determination, and calmness." Tycross waved his wand to eliminate the wooden circle, and then followed Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout out of the auditorium.

Severus was wondering if Hogwarts would cover his meals.

Perhaps it was because they were tired from the one-hour Apparition training, but Mulciber and Sirius didn't bother anyone anymore.

Andrea, who was estimating the time, ran to the auditorium and looked at Severus, who was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, his eyes full of curiosity.

"How do you feel?" Andre asked, "I originally wanted to peek outside, but the dean drove us all away... We can learn how to do it, so don't worry..."

"Well, I don't feel anything..." Severus said, there is no scientific solution to things in the magical world, otherwise he really wants to know why he can apparate when he concentrates.

Andre asked some more questions, and successfully bored Severus with his questions, so he headed to the library.

"Hey, don't, I just came out of the library..." Andre frowned and was missed by Severus. He could only continue to look at the library bitterly.

During this period, they also met Peeves who was blocking the door hole. Fortunately, they hid quickly and avoided Peeves' entanglement.

The next few days were spent continuing with studies, during which Regulus and Sirius had several quarrels in the corridors, and the most serious one ended up in the hospital wing.

Severus could always see the lame Sirius in those days, but Regulus didn't see him a few times. Every time he met, he was with the descendants of Slytherin nobles, and his personality became more and more calm.

From February to March, the weather did not change much, except that it was humid and windy. Professor Sprout reluctantly cast a few more weather spells in the greenhouse before the herbs she planted softened.

The Daily Prophet reported on the new trends of Death Eaters, saying that a wave of people had gone to Egypt and were still wandering around the pyramids.

The Apparition course has gone on for three or four sessions, and it is still so difficult, but a few more people have done a double-take during the Apparition process. The frustration was increasing, and there was a lot of resistance among the students towards Vicky Tycross and his three things. For this reason, he got a lot of nicknames, Dog Fart and Dung Head, which were quite polite.

Severus was a little funny. No matter what era students were, it was always a good idea to give their teachers nicknames.

Lily was busy with the prefect election and Apparition training, and she also had to find time to date Potter. Every time she met with Severus, she came and went in a hurry.

Severus was happy to see this, of course, it would be better if Sirius didn't stare at him viciously every time.

"Severus, do you want to eat?" Andre asked vaguely, holding up a chocolate cauldron. They had made an appointment to go to Hogsmeade together today, but Filch was too slow to check. He was too quick. starving.

"No, thank you." Severus glanced at it and said, "Save some for me. I heard that Duke Bee has a new product."

"It's okay, keep it." Andre finished the chocolate crucible three times in a row and complained softly, "Why can't we add more people? I'm sure Mr. Filch looks five years older than last year!"

Severus didn't answer. Filch was a hired squib. It was a miracle that he didn't quit and endured the heavy workload of students.

Andre was used to Severus' reticence and said to himself, "There is also a broomstick used for training. It has only a few hairs and has not been replaced... I don't know where the money given by the school director has been spent... "

Severus blinked when he heard what he said. More than one little wizard had mentioned what he said. They discussed it over and over again, and finally came to the conclusion that it was about school maintenance, subsidies for poor students and food.

Amid Andre's chatter, they were quickly queued up. Filch read the signature sheet, wrote something on the parchment, and waved to let them go.

Severus walked in the bustling Hogsmeade village and once again thanked Professor Slughorn for his help. If it hadn't been for his signature, he would not have been able to come here. Although pineapple preserves have to be used as 'bribes' every time, this is not an equal exchange.

In Hogsmeade Village, I replenished the snack store, bought some paper and pens, and bought some new socks before returning to Hogwarts.

They also saw Hagrid with disheveled hair in the Pig's Head Bar, and the new defense professor sitting opposite him. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they could only hear Hagrid's rough laughter.

Another Saturday, the Apparition class continued. Severus successfully moved himself into the circle this time. Although he cut a corner of the wizard's robe, it was still perfect.

This is not conspicuous among the wizards. Every academy has powerful young wizards. The four Potters all learned to apparate early. Even though Pettigrew's ears were separated, it showed that they understood the theoretical knowledge. You must know that last Saturday, Mulciber and Avery had already succeeded, and even came to laugh at Severus for this.

Severus didn't care, because he wasn't the only one who failed to learn, and besides, he could study for twelve weeks, so there was no rush.

Andre couldn't stand the arrogance of Mulciber and the others, but he always couldn't find anyone because of different classes.

Just when he thought he was going through the class normally, in another Apparition class, he was concentrating on spinning in place, but the next moment he was interrupted by a strange sound that suddenly sounded.

"Hiss, come and find me, come with your flute, look for me...bathroom...hiss..."

The hoarse, dark voice froze Severus's thoughts, and his body froze in the rotating position. Fortunately, it was only a few seconds later that he completed the awkward circle and stood up straight, panting.

What made that sound? Flute? Are you talking to me? Severus thought uncertainly, staring blankly at the wooden circle.
