Chapter 4124 4126 [Apparition]

Xiang Nan placed a wooden circle in the middle of the room.

He stared at the wooden circle, thinking about squeezing himself into it, and then began to turn around, trying to move calmly, and then he chanted a spell...

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and then he found that the surroundings became dark, and he was squeezed strongly from all directions, and he couldn't breathe at all. His chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops. His eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, and his eardrums were pressed deep into his head...

Then, Xiang Nan felt like he was squeezed out of a very narrow rubber tube. He quickly regained consciousness and immediately found that he was standing in the wooden circle, but one foot remained in place.

Xiang Nan was stunned.

Perhaps because he cut too quickly, or because the pain was too severe, his brain blocked this information, and he didn't feel the pain at this time.

This is not surprising. The human body is very wonderful. When it is aware of the human body being injured, it will quickly secrete a large amount of adrenaline, making people too excited to feel pain.

Xiang Nan quickly waved his wand, retracted his foot, and quickly glued it back to his body while it was still warm.

For wizards, losing an arm or a leg is not a serious injury at all.

Harry Potter broke his arm in the Quidditch game, and it was healed with just one spell.

Later, even though the bones were taken away by Gilderoy Lockhart, he recovered overnight after drinking the bone spirit, which was faster and more effective than ordinary people curing a cold.

Of course, if the arms and legs are damaged by magic or not treated in time, they may not be able to recover.

For example, George Weasley's ears were cut off by the Sharp Spell, and Molly Weasley didn't know how to remove the spell, so his ears couldn't grow back.

Mad-Eye Moody's eyes and feet were injured by dark magic, so there was no way to grow them back with healing magic and potions.

Xiang Nan cast a spell to glue his feet back to his body. For him, this kind of minor injury was not surprising, and he didn't even feel any pain.

It was already a great thing that he could enter the wooden circle in the first practice of Apparition.

In comparison, when Harry Potter started to learn Apparition in the sixth grade, none of the people in their grade succeeded for several consecutive classes, and many people had "separation" accidents.

So Xiang Nan was not discouraged, and continued to work hard. Finally, in three days, he had mastered Apparition proficiently. And he gradually adapted to the discomfort of being squeezed out of the rubber tube after Apparition.

…

In early August, Xiang Nan and Lily both received letters from Hogwarts, which wrote a list of books they were going to buy for the new semester.

These included "Standard Spells: Level 3", "Intermediate Transfiguration", "Digital Divination and Graphics", "Seeing the Future through the Mist", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Ancient Magic Runes Simple Introduction" and so on.

There was also a consent form to go to Hogsmeade Village.

Hogsmeade is the only town in the British Isles inhabited by wizards. It is located next to Hogwarts. Because it is the only wizard village, the style and appearance of the town are unique, which can be said to be exactly the same as the fairy tale world.

There are many interesting shops in Hogsmeade, such as the Three Broomsticks, which serves butter beer and fire whiskey; Davis and Bans, which sells various magic props, such as memory balls, peepholes and anti-demon glasses;

Honeydukes Candy Store, which sells various novel and delicious candies, such as cockroach piles, cauldron cakes, lollipop quills, and Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans; Zonko Joke Shop, which sells various novel and interesting magic toys, such as dung bombs, burp candy, frog egg soap, Filiba fireworks, etc.

There are also the Hog's Head Bar, the Owl Post Office, the Elegant Wizard Clothing Store, Mrs. Pettyfer Tea House, the Wenrenju Stationery Store, and the Screaming Shack that cannot be ignored.

This shed is located outside the village. It was not well-known in the past two years, but in the past two years, every full-moon night, villagers can hear shrill screams, which are very creepy.

It is said that there are female ghosts, ghosts, and wronged souls wandering here, so it was rated as "the most haunted place in the British Isles" by the Daily Prophet. Therefore, the villagers were terrified and no one dared to approach it.

But Xiang Nan knew that it was actually the howl of Lupin who turned into a werewolf.

In order to protect him and prevent others from approaching the shed, Dumbledore deliberately let the rumors spread, which made people more and more afraid and dared not approach.

Despite the terrifying place like the Shrieking Shack, the students still wanted to go to Hogsmeade. After all, being able to go around the village is a rare pastime for them after a week of hard study.

It is just for safety reasons that Hogwarts stipulates that students who are not in the third grade are not allowed to leave school and go to Hogsmeade Village.

After all, compared to the impregnable Hogwarts, Hogsmeade has almost no defense. If there is a dark wizard who is harmful to the students, the defense of Hogsmeade Village has no ability to stop it.

…

After receiving the letter from the school, Xiang Nan and Lily then used Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley.

It can be seen that Diagon Alley this year is different from last year.

When they came last year, because of the "mysterious wizard incident" that made people panic, both dark wizards and ordinary wizards were very scared, so the business of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley was much quieter.

However, the "mysterious wizard" has not appeared for a year, and everyone's fear of him has obviously subsided, so Diagon Alley has returned to its former bustle.

Xiang Nan did not go to see what the situation in Knockturn Alley was like, but he thought those dark wizards would not forget him so easily.

Fortunately, he now has Fenrir. The werewolf will recharge the magic power that was sucked away every full moon night.

Xiang Nan is equivalent to having an inexhaustible portable power bank, which can absorb magic power once a month. Therefore, he doesn't need to go to Knockturn Alley to take risks again.

At Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley, Xiang Nan and Lily bought the necessary textbooks.

Lily also went to Madam Malkin's robe store to make new school uniforms. Girls aged thirteen or fourteen are in the second development period, and they grow faster than boys. The school uniforms bought in the first grade now look small.

The new school uniforms that Xiang Nan bought last year are still quite suitable for him, so he didn't buy new ones.

...

After returning home, in addition to daily magic duels with Lily, Xiang Nan also taught her new spells, potions and dark magic defense knowledge.

Spells include speaking spells, happy spells, bird spells, etc., and potions include shrinking potions, blood tonic potions, mitigating potions and confusion potions.

Dark magic defense knowledge includes defense against dark magic creatures such as Boggarts, red hats, Kaba, werewolves, Grindylows, and Hincklepunk.

These spells, potions and dark magic defense knowledge are not difficult for Xiang Nan at all. It can be said that with his current level, he is qualified to be a professor at Hogwarts.

Lily naturally learned a lot from him, which is enough to ensure that her grades will not only not lag behind in the next school year, but she can still take the lead.
