Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 924 Split

   Entering February, the temperature around Hogwarts rose slightly, and the snow that had accumulated throughout the winter began to show signs of melting, and the castle became cold and humid.

  In order to avoid delaying regular classes, Apparition class was arranged on Saturday morning by the school.

   Driven by curiosity and anticipation, everyone woke up early on Saturday.

  However, because they heard that practicing Apparition is not a comfortable thing, everyone dared not eat breakfast, fearing that they would spit it out while practicing Apparation.

   Except, of course, someone.

When they walked to the playground outside the castle, they were surprised to find that McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and Professor Sprout all appeared on the playground, and the little wizard with them should be the phantom sent by the Ministry of Magic Appearance class instructor.

   When it was approaching nine o'clock, Professor McGonagall took the list and called them one by one. After signaling everyone to keep quiet, he nodded to the wizard to indicate that it was time to start.

"My name is Vikki Tecrosse." The wizard from the Ministry of Magic introduced himself: "In the next twelve weeks, I will be your Apparition class instructor, and I hope to help you prepare for this Apparation exam. Get ready, I'm sure many of you will be taking the Apparition exam by then."

   "For the next hour, I'm going to teach you how to Apparate." Tycross swung his wand, conjuring an old-fashioned wooden circle in front of each student,

"Before that, there is one thing I need to emphasize. You only need to apparate into your own wooden circle. It is not wise to go anywhere else. In the next Apparation exam, you need to precisely control your footing Dots, apparating perfectly, even the slightest mistake will result in failing the exam."

  Everyone got together to discuss in whispers, and finally calmed down again with the help of several professors.

  Tekros began to explain the most important three D's when Apparating. Everyone listened carefully and couldn't wait to try Apparating for the first time.

   Everyone soon got their wish, and when the wizard of the Ministry of Magic yelled one two three, the first Apparation attempt began.

  For Albert, who had already mastered Apparition, it was obviously not difficult to Apparate into the five-foot wooden circle.

   However, for students trying to apparate for the first time, the first apparation is almost impossible to succeed, and it makes a lot of funny jokes.

   Several students accidentally fell to the ground because of spinning their bodies, and another jumped into the wooden circle spinning, which caused a burst of laughter.

  However, the most surprising thing is not that Albert succeeded in Apparating for the first time, but that Fred encountered a little trouble.

  He split up.

   Yes, Fred is separated, without an arm.

   "Look, Mr. Anderson has succeeded."

Wicky Tycross was surprised that Albert could successfully apparate for the first time, and his posture was quite elegant, almost like a dream, making him wonder if the guy in front of him had mastered apparation very early, otherwise how could he Maybe there really is a genius who can succeed once, then others can't survive.

   Then, Wicky Tecross moved his eyes to the target of people whispering, and there was a split red-haired student, his left hand was left in place, and the situation was not too bad.

   "Separation." Tecross said lightly: "Separation is easy to occur when the determination is not firm enough, so you must always focus on the target."

   While Tycross was speaking, the four deans had already gathered around Fred, only to hear a loud bang, and after a burst of purple smoke cleared, Fred's arm was reattached.

Wicky Tecross found that this year's Hogwarts students seemed to have more talent for Apparation than he expected. Before the end of the hour, in addition to the famous Albert, there were three other students who performed Apparation. He is very talented. Although there is a split body situation, the situation is not too bad, especially the two red-haired boys. He believes that as long as the other party practices hard, they should be able to pass the Apparition test in one go.

   "See you next Saturday, everyone, don't forget: goal, determination, calmness." Tycross waved his wand to erase the wooden circle, and walked towards the school gate alone.

Immediately after the Apparition class ended, Albert was surrounded by a group of people asking how he managed to do it the first time, and Fred, George and Lee Jordan became people's favorites. The only ones who attracted attention were the three of them who managed to separate, and more than once, which meant that they were not far from the success of phantom apparation.

"You need to concentrate, concentrate all your thoughts on the destination, and imagine it clearly in your mind." Albert said to everyone: "Close your eyes, if you can feel a terrifying squeeze , that is basically considered a success.”

   "It's not the same as the three Ds that the professor said." Someone said.

   "I can only say that I have personal experience. Anyway, as long as I can successfully Apparate, I don't need to pay too much attention to these issues." Albert shrugged and walked towards the castle.

   "You are right."

   During lunch, Fred lisps: "I feel like I'm getting there, I'm just not used to it yet."

   "How does it feel to be separated?"

"It's not good, you will lose control of the other part. I suspect that if the head flies away and the body stays in place, it may die directly." George joked that he was the fastest apparator of the three , though lost some hair and nails.

   "How on earth did you do it?"

  Sanna sat across from them with food, intending to ask a few people about the secret of Apparation.

  It is not difficult for them to understand that Albert can do it. After all, they have seen the magic of Albert. As for Fred, George, and Lee Jordan being faster than anyone else, that's a bit dubious.

   "It's actually very simple. You only need to do Apparition a few more times to experience the feeling, and then be bold when you try it, and you will be able to quickly master the trick." George explained in a low voice.

  Sanna looked at Albert and suddenly understood.

   This is for Albert to take them to experience Apparition.

   "How bold you are!" Shanna whispered.

  Albert obviously took the three of them to Apparate several times. He had experienced the feeling of Apparating in advance, and he was bold enough to try it out. Therefore, it is not surprising that the progress of the Apparation of the three of them was faster than others.

   "Teach me anytime, I feel that Apparition is very difficult." Although Shanna also practiced Apparation very hard, she didn't make any progress at all. She was a little worried that she would fail the Apparation test this time.

   "Let's go to Hogsmeade next time!" Albert did not refuse.

   "That's great," Shanna said excitedly.

   "That's how you learned it too?" Lee Jordan asked.

   "Probably." Albert nodded and said, "When Professor Bard taught me Apparition, he also took me to experience the feeling of Apparation."

   "Why don't you teach us Apparation too?" Fred suggested, "We can practice in the woods."

"I can't put your bodies back together when you are separated." Albert raised his brows slightly and warned them not to die, "I will find time to find Professor McGonagall and deal with it some other day." If you want to try it, I don’t mind, anyway, I’m definitely not the one who will be caught by the Ministry of Magic and fined a large sum of money.”

   "Forget it then." The three of them shook their heads in unison, instantly extinguishing their thoughts of dying.

  Although they all want to learn apparation as soon as possible, there is obviously no need to risk their wallets and lives. If they are really fined at that time, the family may send them a shouting letter.

   "Professor Bard taught you Apparation?" Shanna asked in surprise.

   "Yes, we have been in touch by letter."

   Shanna breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Albert had started learning apparation in the first grade.
