Entering February, the temperature around Hogwarts rose slightly, and the snow that had accumulated for a whole winter began to melt, and the castle became cold and humid.
In order to avoid delays in regular classes, the Apparition Class was arranged by the school on Saturday morning.
Driven by curiosity and anticipation, it is rare for everyone to get up early on Saturday.
However, since I heard that practicing phantom manifestation is not a comfortable thing, everyone did not dare to eat breakfast, fearing that they would vomit while practicing phantom manifestation.
Of course, except for 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. The little wizard with them should be a phantom sent by the Ministry of Magic. Instructor of the visible class.
As it was approaching nine o'clock, Professor McGonagall took the list of names one by one, and after beckoning everyone to keep quiet, he nodded to the wizard to indicate that it was time to start.
"My name is Waikie Tecross." The wizard from the Ministry of Magic introduced himself: "In the next twelve weeks, I will serve as the instructor of your phantom manifestation class. I hope to help you prepare for this phantom manifestation exam. Be prepared, I believe that by then, many students will take the Apparition Exam."
"In the next hour, I will teach you how to master the apparition." Tecross waved his wand and conjured 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 wooden circle. It is not wise to go elsewhere. In the next apparition test, you need to accurately control your footing. Point, perfect apparition, even the slightest mistake will cause the exam to fail."
Everyone gathered together to discuss in whispers, and finally it was quiet again with the help of a few professors.
Tecross began to explain the three most important D's during the Apparition, and everyone listened very carefully, and can't wait to make the first Apparition attempt.
Everyone soon got their wish, and when the wizard of the Ministry of Magic called out one, two, three, the first attempt at apparition began.
For Albert, who has mastered Apparition, it is obviously not difficult to Apparition into a five-foot wooden circle.
However, for the first time apparition of students, the first apparition is almost impossible to succeed, and there are many funny jokes.
Several students accidentally fell to the ground because they rotated their bodies, and another jumped into the wooden circle, causing a burst of laughter.
However, the most surprising thing is not that Albert was successful at the first Apparition, but that Fred was in a little trouble.
He split up.
Yes, Fred is split, without an arm.
"Look, Mr. Anderson succeeded."
Waikie Tecross was surprised that Albert could succeed in Apparition for the first time, and his posture was quite elegant, almost like a dream. He couldn't help wondering if the guy in front of him had mastered Apparition early, otherwise what? Maybe there is a genius who can succeed once, then others will not survive.
Then, Waikie Tecross turned his gaze to the whispering target, and a split red-haired student appeared, his left hand was left in place, and the situation was not too bad.
"Separate." Tecross said lightly: "Separate is easy to occur when the determination is not strong enough, so you must always focus on the goal."
When Tecross was speaking, the four deans had gathered around Fred, and only heard a loud bang. After a burst of purple smoke cleared, Fred's arm was reinstalled.
Waikie Tecross found that this year’s Hogwarts students seemed to have more talent for apparition than he expected. Before the end of the hour, in addition to the famous Albert, three other students performed in apparition. He is very talented. Although there is a split situation, the situation is not bad, especially the two red-haired boys. He believes that as long as the other party practices hard, he should be able to pass the phantom manifestation exam at one time.
"See you next Saturday, everyone, don't forget: goal, determination, calmness." Tecross waved his wand to eliminate the wooden circle, and walked towards the school gate alone.
After the apparition class was over, Albert was immediately surrounded by a group of people. Everyone was asking how he succeeded in the first time. Fred, George and Lee Jordan also became people. The target of attention, only the three of them were separated, and more than once, it meant that they were not far from the successful Apparition.
"You need to concentrate, focus all your thoughts on the destination, and visualize it clearly in your mind." Albert said to everyone: "Close your eyes, if you can feel a terrifying squeeze. , That basically counts as a success."
"This is not the same as the three D's that the professor said." Someone said.
"I can only say that I have personal experience, anyway, as long as I can successfully Apparate, it's fine, don't worry too much about these issues." Albert shrugged and walked towards the castle.
"You are right."
At lunch, Fred said bluntly: "I feel like I'm about to learn, but I'm not used to it yet."
"How does it feel to be split?"
"Not so good, you will lose control of the other part. I suspect that if your head flies away but your body stays in place, you may die directly." George jokingly said that he is the fastest apparition of the three. , Although some hair and nails were lost due to this.
"How did you do it."
Shanna sat across from them with food, planning to ask a few people about the tricks of apparition.
Albert can do it, they are not difficult to understand, after all, they have seen the magic of Albert. As for Fred, George, and Lee Jordan being able to be faster than the others, it's a bit suspicious.
"It's actually very simple. You only need to perform apparitions a few more times, experience the feeling, and then be bold when you try, and you will be able to quickly master the trick." George explained in a low voice.
Shanna looked at Albert and suddenly understood.
This is for Albert to take them to experience the Apparition.
"You are so bold!" Shanna whispered.
Albert apparently took the three apparitions to manifest several times, and experienced the feeling of apparition in advance, plus boldly let go to try, so it is not surprising that the apparition progress of the three is faster than the others.
"Teach me any time, I feel that the phantom manifestation is very difficult." Although Shanna tried very hard to practice the phantom manifestation, but there was no progress at all. She was a little worried that she would not pass the phantom manifestation exam.
"Go to Hogsmeade next time!" Albert did not refuse.
"That's great." Shanna said excitedly.
"How did you learn?" Lee Jordan asked.
"That's right." Albert said, "When Professor Bard taught me Apparition ~www.novel35.com~ it also brought me to experience the feeling of Apparition."
"Why don't you teach us Apparition?" Fred suggested, "We can go to practice in the woods."
"I can't put your bodies back in the situation where you are separated." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and warned a few people not to die. The split method is learned. If you want to try it, I don’t mind. Anyway, it’s definitely not me who is caught by the Ministry of Magic and fined a lot of money.”
"That's fine." The three of them shook their heads together, and instantly put out their thoughts of death.
Although they all want to learn Apparition as soon as possible, they obviously don't need to risk their wallets and lives. They will be fined and the family will probably send them a roaring letter.
"Professor Bard taught you Apparition?" Shanna asked in surprise.
"Yes, we have always been in contact by correspondence."
Shanna breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Albert had started to learn Apparition in first grade.
