Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 139 Apparation

   There was a knock on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

  Professor Broad opened the door, looked at Albert outside the door, and asked suspiciously: "Albert, is Apparation class over?"

   "Not yet, I have something to ask you."

   "What's the matter?" Professor Broad noticed the disturbed expression on Albert's face and asked.

   "I want to experience what it's like to use Apparition?" Albert took a deep breath and explained his purpose.

   "Why do you have such an idea?" McDougal looked away from the parchment and looked at Albert who entered the room.

"Maybe, you're right, I'm wasting time on Apparition, but I still want to experience what it's like to use Apparition." Albert hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I have temporarily given up on the apparition for a short time. Learn its ideas from within."

   There was a brief silence in the office. Professor Broad and McDougall looked at each other. They never thought that Albert was going to try to master Apparation.

   "Apparition is not comfortable at first, it feels bad, some people will not adapt to it, and give up learning Apparation, are you sure you want to try?" Professor Broad asked.

   "Yes, I'm sure." Albert knew that the other party had agreed, and if he couldn't get himself the ability to apparate by doing so, then he should give up temporarily.

   "Albert, there is something you need to understand." McDougal's expression suddenly became serious, "Absolutely, absolutely not allowed to secretly practice Apparation, understand?"

   Albert nodded, indicating that he would not do that.

   "That's good." McDougall nodded with satisfaction: "Come with me, Hogwarts can't use Apparation."

   "No, I will take Albert to experience Apparition. However, before that, you need to understand some knowledge." Professor Broad began to popularize Apparition to Albert.

"Apparition is actually divided into two parts, Apparation and Apparation. First, you need to use Apparition to make yourself disappear from your original position, and then use Apparition to appear from the desired position. Apparation itself is an extremely Profound magic is also why it is only allowed to be verified after reaching adulthood."

"There is a limit to the distance of Apparition. As the distance of Apparation increases, it will become more and more difficult. When Apparating, the wizard needs to have a good understanding of the destination. Once the distance is too long, it may resulting in dismemberment, serious injury or even death."

   "What I'm going to take you with is apparition. It's a type of apparition. It refers to people who can apparate, and use apparition with people who can't."

   Albert nodded to show that he remembered.

  The two left the office together, passed through the hall, walked down the stone steps, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

  The apparition class in the hall is still going on, and many senior students are still practicing hard. Albert is different from them, as long as he can learn the apparation skills, he doesn't need to worry about it.

   "Hogwarts can't Apparate, we have to leave this range, usually, we just go into the woods." Professor Broad knew that Albert would not want to experience Apparation in the hall.

  So, the best choice at the moment is in the Forbidden Forest.

  The two came quietly to the Forbidden Forest, where it was very quiet and no one would disturb them.

   "Grab my wrist and don't let go," Professor Brod reminded. "I'm going to Apparate you into an open space a few feet away. Start!"

   Albert found that his surroundings suddenly became pitch black, and there was a strong sense of squeezing in all directions. At this moment, Albert felt that he was being compressed by an invisible force, and his eyes were being squeezed into his skull. It felt like being stuffed into a narrow rubber tube and was about to be squeezed out from it.

  Everything was over, Albert took a big gulp of fresh air, and he and Professor Broad appeared in the open space a few feet away.

   "I feel like vomiting." Albert covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the nausea rising in his stomach. Soon, he ran to a tree and began to retch.

  Professor Broad looked at Albert who was holding on to the tree and retched, and comforted him: "This feeling needs to be adapted slowly."

   "It feels terrible!" Albert grumbled, but he soon became happy again, because Apparation really appeared on the skill panel.

  When you are in a good mood, you will have energy, and some original negative emotions will be gradually overcome.

   "Now you know why we didn't let you Apparate too early?" Professor Broad shook his head.

   "Do most wizards bring their children to apparate?" Albert was a little unbelievable. For children, this would undoubtedly be a disaster, and he had a much higher tolerance than others.

   "No, parents usually don't do that." Professor Broad shook his head and said, "Generally, they will use simpler methods, such as Floo powder."

   "I will definitely not try to practice this spell indiscriminately." Albert muttered.

   "Very sensible." Professor Broad was very satisfied with Albert's self-knowledge.

   It’s just that he didn’t know that, of course, Albert didn’t need to try to practice Apparition, because he had already mastered Apparation.

   If it is really necessary, Albert will directly upgrade the spell to level 2.

   "Albert, do you even want to sneak into the woods?" Albert was caught by an angry Hagrid just as he walked out of the forest.

   "Professor Broad, why are you here?"

   "Well, Mr. Anderson and I came to the outskirts of the forest to do some magic tests." Professor Brod casually explained.

   "Oh, it turned out to be like this."

Although he got Professor Brod's explanation, Hagrid still looked at Albert suspiciously, and couldn't help complaining: "Recently, the Weasley twins have been going into the woods all the time, and it's almost driving me crazy. I Remember that your relationship is good, you should remind them, don't let them do stupid things, the depths of the forest are not safe at all."

   "Ahem, I see." Albert coughed dryly and quickly assured.

  Actually, Albert also knew that he couldn't stop the Weasley brothers' adventure in the Forbidden Forest at all.

   After saying goodbye to Hagrid, the two continued to walk towards the castle. On the way, Professor Broad suddenly remembered something, "I heard that there is a breeding base for acromantia in the UK, and it is most likely in the Forbidden Forest."

   "Acromantula?"

   "Once upon a time, a wizard tried to find a breeding base for acromantulas. Later, he disappeared in the depths of the Forbidden Forest." Professor Broad frowned slightly when talking about this, "Those guys are very dangerous."

   Albert gave a noncommittal oh, he knew what happened to the breeding base that Professor Brod mentioned, and it was Hagrid's fault.
