Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 138: Apparition

Views:

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

Professor Brode opened the door, looked at Albert outside, and asked in confusion: "Albert, is the Apparition class over?"

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

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

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

"Why do you have such an idea?" McDougal moved his eyes away from the parchment and looked at Albert who came into the room.

"Perhaps you are right. I am wasting my time on Apparition, but I still want to experience what it feels like to use Apparition." Albert hesitated for a moment and continued, "I have temporarily given up the idea of learning it in a short time."

There was a brief silence in the office. Professor Broad and McDougal looked at each other. They had never thought that Albert was planning to try to master Apparition.

"Using Apparition is not comfortable at first. It can even be considered a bad feeling. Some people become unable to adapt to it and give up learning Apparition. Are you sure you want to try it?" Professor Broad asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." Albert knew that the other party had agreed. If doing this still couldn't allow him to gain the skill of Apparition, then he should give up temporarily.

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

Albert nodded, indicating that he would not do that.

"That's good." McDougal nodded with satisfaction and said, "Come with me. There is no way to use Apparition in Hogwarts."

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

"Apparition is actually divided into two parts, Disapparition and Disapparition. First, you need to use Disapparition to make yourself disappear from your original position, and then use Disapparition to appear from the desired position. Apparition itself is an extremely advanced magic, which is why it is not allowed to be studied until you are an adult."

"There is a limit to the distance of Apparition. As the distance of Apparition increases, its difficulty will also increase. When Apparition, the wizard needs to have a good understanding of the destination. Once the distance is too long, it may lead to separation, serious injury or even death."

"I'm going to take you to perform Apparition, which is a type of Apparition where someone who can Apparite will take someone who can't Apparite with him to perform Apparition together."

Albert nodded to indicate that he remembered it.

The two left the office together, walked through the entrance hall, down the stone steps, and headed out of the castle.

The Apparition class in the hall was still going on, and many senior students were still practicing hard. Albert was different from them. As long as he could learn the skill of Apparition, he would not need to worry about this problem.

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

Therefore, the best choice at the moment is the Forbidden Forest.

The two quietly came to the forbidden forest. It was very quiet here and no one would disturb them.

"Hold my wrist and don't let go," Professor Brod warned. "I will Apparate you to an open space a few feet away. Let's begin!"

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

Everything was over. Albert took a deep breath 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 tried to suppress the nausea in his stomach. Soon, he ran to a tree and started to retch.

Professor Brod looked at Albert, who was retching while leaning against a tree, and consoled him, "You need to get used to this feeling slowly."

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

When the mood is good, people will feel energetic and some of the original negative emotions will gradually be overcome.

"Now you know why we don't let you get in touch with Apparition too early?" Professor Broad shook his head.

"Will most wizards Apparate with their children?" Albert was a little bit unbelievable. For a child, this would undoubtedly be a disaster. You know, his ability to withstand it is much higher than other people.

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

"I will never try to practice this spell again." Albert muttered.

"Very wise." Professor Broad was very satisfied with Albert's self-awareness.

However, he didn't know that Albert certainly didn't need to try to practice Apparition because he had already mastered it.

If it was really necessary, Albert would directly upgrade the spell to level 2.

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

"Professor Broad, why are you here?"

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

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Although he got Professor Broad's explanation, Hagrid still looked at Albert with some suspicion and couldn't help complaining, "Recently, the Weasley twins have been going into the woods a lot. It's driving me crazy. I remember you two had a good relationship. You should remind them not to do anything stupid. It's not safe in the deep woods."

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

In fact, Albert also knew that he could not stop the Weasley brothers' adventure in the Forbidden Forest.

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

"Acromantula?"

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

Albert said "oh" without commenting. He knew what the breeding base Professor Broad was talking about was. This was totally Hagrid's fault.
