Chapter 872 How Do We Start
After breakfast, wizards of other grades went to the classrooms, except for a group of excited sixth graders.
The tables and chairs in the auditorium disappeared after the food disappeared—because of the weather, the apparition class was arranged in the auditorium, so none of the sixth-grade wizards who were notified left, and they were in groups of three or four in the auditorium Discussing, looking in the direction of the teacher's seat, trying to figure out where to stand to practice more safely and conveniently.
According to the past practice, several deans will come to help this class, so it is usually arranged on Saturday morning, so as not to delay the regular classes of students of other ages, but this year is different, the Ministry of Magic has invested more resources to help Students come to master these practical skills more quickly.
After the class officially started and all the wizards were quiet, John Bartha stood in front of the magic podium. Mr. Bartha stroked his short curly hair back, and his voice spread to every corner of the dining hall: "Hi everyone, my name is John Bartha, will be your Apparition instructor for the rest of this period. Our course setting this year is different from the past, not just on Saturdays, but on weekdays during the twelve weeks we I also made a course arrangement according to the curriculum of each college, I hope this can better help you pass the Apparition exam..."
Lavender stood stickily beside Ron. Apparition was indeed important, but as she said on the train, Lavender cared more about being able to take classes with Ron. She regretted that she could not be there. Establish a relationship with Ron at the beginning of school, so that he can choose the same N.E.W.T courses as the other party.
Ron had just had an argument with Ginny because of this kind of problem, and seeing Harry noticed his gaze, after trying to pull his hand away from Lavender failed, he could only keep a bitter face and try his best to maintain With a sanctimonious appearance.
"Everyone knows that apparition is best practiced under the supervision of someone, otherwise there may be a danger of decapitation or mutilation of limbs. So please pay attention to what I say next." Mr. Basa looked kindly, but No one dared not to listen carefully, "As we all know, there is no way to apparate in Hogwarts. Headmaster Dumbledore deliberately used his headmaster's privilege to temporarily revoke the magic, and lifted this restriction for one hour. Auditorium, so that everyone can practice. So whoever practices in private, or tries to apparate outside the auditorium...I can only regret to express my regret for your very unwise behavior..."
The auditorium was very quiet. No matter whether it was a Muggle-born little wizard who didn't know much about it, or a pure-blood little wizard who knew that many accidents were prone to happen and realized the danger, no one dared not listen carefully to Barca. Barcelona explained to them the precautions and essentials of Apparition in detail. In addition to re-emphasizing the three D principles of goal, determination, and calmness (the initials are all D), he also explained He took out a few extra photos, listing some bloody accidents caused by apparation failures in detail and clearly, which made his students more cautious.
"I can't help but say that Mr. Bartha's words may also have the opposite effect. Look at those girls...oh...and Neville...they look even more frightened." Harry remembered the tragedy in the photo and swallowed Spit couldn't help but adjusted his glasses.
"Yes, I have already felt the power of his words." Ron felt that the other side of himself, the arm that was tightly grasped by Lavender, was probably torn, "Harry...maybe you should Borrow us a few drops of Felicia from Granger? Didn't she get a vial from Slughorn as a prize..."
Hearing her boyfriend mention Hermione's name again, Lavender quickly expressed panic: "Oh, Xiao Enen, I'm scared! What if my apparition causes the head and body to separate, you don't kiss again It's not enough for your favorite Laffer!"
Harry coughed lightly and lowered his head, thankful that his Ginny would never say such nasty words, but hearing Horace's name made him fall into the distress of not being able to complete the task assigned to him by Dumbledore,
"You can't just take a few drops every time you want to Apparate, we'll have to practice it ourselves... and drinking a little too much of this stuff can lead to dizziness, recklessness, and hubris."
Ron began to ask Harry for help, making eye contact and trying to get him to say something like he had just eaten to remind him and Lavender to pay attention to the influence when they communicated intimately, but found that his friend had pretended not to see it—fortunately, Mr. Bartha The next words came to his rescue: "Everyone separate now, with at least five feet of space between each other."
There was chaos in the Great Hall, wizards started to scatter, Ron couldn't wait to get out of Lavender's entanglement, everyone was clamoring to occupy their territory, eager to let others out of their territory. The Aurors who followed Barca all stepped down from the teacher's seat, mediating disputes for these chaotic little wizards and helping them arrange their positions.
"Please be quiet now." Mr. Bartha's "loud voice" suppressed all the noise in the auditorium. He waved his magic wand, and an old-fashioned oak circle immediately appeared on the ground in front of each student.
Before he could explain the function of the wooden circle, the closed door of the auditorium was suddenly opened, and two Aurors pushed open the door of the auditorium. A few seventh-year wizards and Hermione faced everyone's eyes in front of an Auror. Under the leadership, he strode in.
Several student teaching assistants also stood at the teacher's seat. Unlike the excited little wizards who were teaching assistants for the first time, as the person in charge of the Harris training class, guiding wizard training was no challenge for Hermione. Whether it's helping Harris' Ministry of Magic or out of her own interest, she's happy to use the time to help her fellow students.
"I don't think I need to introduce you? Your classmates are wizards who have fully mastered apparation and obtained a license from the Ministry of Magic, so I specially invited a few outstanding students to be my teaching assistants. In the next step, you Help me guide you in my practice..." After Mr. Bartha finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk up to shake hands with Hermione, then shook hands with several other little wizards, and then turned to his students, "I think this will help you calm down …very few wizards are unable to master this craft, and unlike other classes that require more magical talent, you can master them even in the first few years, as long as your heart is up to it..."
Then, Mr. Basa emphasized several key points of Apparition again, and asked the teaching assistants to demonstrate for the students to follow along. The little wizards were surprised that they could practice Apparation so quickly, and more importantly, he Not confident.
Even Lavender didn't pay attention to her little Enen at this time, and kept chanting the trick of three D's in his mouth.
"Listen to my password... the first step: focus on your target." Mr. Basa's voice was amplified by magic and resounded throughout the auditorium, "at present, it is in the wooden circle in front of you. After you are proficient, you can use your memories to The targets are in places you are familiar with, but please now focus on the oak circle in front of you."
Every wizard was secretly looking around to see if everyone was staring at the wooden circle, and then hurriedly followed the instructions of a few students who were addicted to teaching assistants.
Harry stared at the dusty circle of ground in his wooden circle, trying not to think of anything else, only to find that it was impossible, he looked at the wooden circle and thought of the bottom of the cauldron, and thinking of the bottom of the cauldron Potions class reminded him of the task Dumbledore gave him—to put it simply, Harry thought of Dumbledore when he saw this 0.
"Step Two:" Barca said, "resolve to occupy the space you want! Let the desire to get in overwhelm every smallest part of your body!"
Harry peeked around, and a little farther to the right, Ron was staring intently at his wooden circle, flushed as if trying to lay a Quaffle-sized egg, or like The famous Mr. Amos Diggory was going to the bathroom—Harry bit his lip to keep from laughing, and quickly turned his gaze back to his wooden circle.
"The third step:" Barca continued to shout with a loud voice, "after I give the order...rotate on the spot, let yourself enter the void state, and move calmly! Listen to my password now...one..."
Harry looked around again; a lot of people seemed taken aback by asking them to Apparate so quickly, and then he tried to refocus on his wooden circle - he'd forgotten what the three D's were .
"One...two..."
When Barcelona's last password sounded, the little wizards in the auditorium seemed to be drunk collectively, staggering and struggling to maintain their balance, Harry managed to stabilize his figure, and saw that Neville was already on his back He fell to the ground; Ron looked as if he was going to climb in; Seamus was already standing in the ring, but he jumped in by himself, and the wooden ring was cracked.
"It doesn't matter, everyone concentrate. If you want to enter that void state, don't panic. If you really can't feel it, let our excellent teaching assistants take you to apparate and experience the feeling of teleportation." Mr. Basa is very happy Calmly, he didn't expect these little wizards to learn Apparation in one go.
Hermione and their student assistants suddenly became very popular, but Harry was not in a hurry. He was only disapparated by Dumbledore during the summer vacation, and he still remembered the feeling—this is not a big deal Good memories.
Ron hesitated, he glanced in Hermione's direction unconsciously, pouting and realized that she was going to help Draco and Pansy, and at this time Lavender had already walked over with Katie Bell .
Lavender said excitedly: "My Luo, dear Xiao Enen, your teammate Katie is willing to take us to experience Apparition!" Lavender said excitedly.
"Thank you Katie." Ron thanked Katie, but he didn't quite trust her ability in his heart. "Is it because you have a good flying talent that you are so good at apparating?"
"Uh... I haven't considered this...Maybe it's my faith? You know that my faith work in the Ravenclaw temple has been doing well recently...but maybe you should ask Hermione? She knows everything " Katie was taken aback for a moment, and after an unconfident response, she decided to start teaching directly, "Which one of you will experience it first?"
"Let me do it." Ron glanced at Lavender, and finally decided to muster up the courage to show her something.
Katie stretched out her arm directly, letting Ron's hand take hers.
"So, Katie, how do we get started...uh!"
Before Ron could finish his question, he and Katie turned into a puff of mist without any preparation, disappeared in place, and appeared in the wooden circle in an instant—Ron seemed to be punched in the back His whole body shook like a punch, and he bent down. The strong dizziness made him vomit on the ground uncontrollably. The sausage he ate in the morning hadn't been digested yet, and he vomited all over the floor mixed with other food residues.
