Chapter 296: Learning to Apparate

"Let's talk about it after dinner!"

Andy spread his hands and said, "I can't show magic on the dining table, right?"

Speaking of the Patronus Charm, there are many topics to talk about.

Norman and Kyle are also very proud. The Collins family has been in the magic world for hundreds of years, and now there is finally a future great wizard who is famous in the magic world.

What is the most important thing in the wizarding world?

Fame, status, connections, wealth, power? Or the inheritance of magic? The wizard's strength? The continuation of the family?

Everyone has a different take on this.

But there is no doubt that when you have strong strength, other things will be within your reach.

Such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort.

Although Norman and Kyle dare not imagine that Andy can grow to the level of the above three people, but with Andy's current strength and reputation, his future achievements will far exceed theirs.

At least Andy won't be like Kyle, who can only be an ordinary employee at the Ministry of Magic.

Speaking of which, the reason why Kyle couldn't go up was directly related to the fact that he didn't participate in the last wizard war.

After dinner, the family sat around the fireplace drinking tea and chatting. Andy also took the opportunity to show off his Patronus Charm in front of these ordinary wizards.

The night passed.

The next morning, after Helen finished her business, she took Andy and Isabel, who wanted to watch the fun, to the yard, preparing to guide Andy in learning how to apparate.

"Andy, how much do you know about Apparition?" Helen asked first while standing in the yard.

Apparition and Apparition are generally two spells, but they are essentially the same magic, just two stages of the same magic.

The word "disapparition" is a variation of "disappear", which means: disappearing from a place.

The word "apparition" is a variation of "appear", which means: appearing from a place.

The biggest risk of using Apparition is separation. If the target is not clear enough when casting the spell, there is a risk of separation when using Apparition.

Since Andy wanted to learn Apparition, he naturally did a thorough research on this magic.

Listening to Andy's talk, Helen nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Andy's desire to learn to apparate is indeed not a temporary enthusiasm, but he has been fully prepared.

"When performing Apparition, you must follow the three-dimensional principles of goal, determination, and calmness!"

Helen said with a serious face: "The first step is to focus your consciousness on your goal."

As she spoke, Helen took out her wand and drew a circle on the ground three meters away.

"The second step is to make up your mind and think that you must move to the target, and let the idea of ​​'wanting to go there' flood your body from your brain."

"The third step is to turn around in place, feel your body become void, and move calmly."

At this point, Helen's figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in the center of the circle three meters away with a 'pop' sound.

Bang bang bang——

"Mom is so awesome!" Isabel unexpectedly cheered.

Andy watched carefully.

Andy has already memorized the key points of apparation and magic theory.

It sounds magical, but the essence of this magic still does not break away from the basic theory of "mind control magic".

In this magic theory, Andy is willing to call himself the strongest!

Helen walked up to Andy and motioned to Andy: "Put your hand up and I'll take you to try it once."

"OK!" Andy followed suit and put his hand on Helen's arm.

Snapped!

With a soft sound, Andy and Helen appeared at the center of the circle three meters away at the same time.

Helen looked at Andy with a half-smile.

Andy raised his eyebrows, "It feels terrible. It's like being stuffed into a tube, with strong squeezing all around."

Helen explained: "This is the biggest problem we need to face when learning to apparate. The brain controls the body, but the body's feelings also affect the brain's judgment."

"Many people fail to disapparate because their brains produce a strong rejection reaction when they are squeezed."

Andy nodded understandingly.

When a hand touches a very hot object, it moves away quickly before the brain has time to react.

But this is actually a subconscious reaction.

But when your brain realizes that the object is hot, your hands are no longer willing to touch that object.

Because of this, disembodiment seems very simple, but the body's subconscious rejection reaction is simply beyond the control of the brain.

In other words, it is difficult to control.

That's why the Ministry of Magic stipulates that only wizards over the age of seventeen can learn Apparition.

But mind control magic happens to be Andy's strength.

"Can I try it again?" Andy asked.

"sure."

Helen nodded, and then said to Isabel: "Isa, prepare the fresh food, don't let your brother die."

"I know, mom!" the little girl said solemnly.

Andy: "..."

After recalling the key points of performing Apparition in his mind, Andy focused his attention on the center of the circle, and then filled his body with the thought of 'I want to go there'.

Finally...turn around on the same spot.

Snapped!

There was a soft sound, and Andy stood in the center of the circle.

Helen looked Andy up and down several times, and after confirming that Andy was not missing any parts, not even the threads of his clothes, she raised her eyebrows...

This kid learns so fast.

Bang bang bang——

Isabelle applauded enthusiastically, and at the same time shouted with admiration: "Brother is so awesome!"

"be honest!"

Helen scolded Isabel, and then said to Andy: "Being able to do this means that you have initially mastered apparation."

"After you become proficient, you can try to go to other places. Practice in the village first, and then go to places a little further away."

"Also, don't forget what you promised me last night, you will never practice Apparition alone."

At the end of the sentence, Helen gave Andy a hard look.

"Of course, I promise!" Andy said quickly.

Helen chuckled and said, "Depending on your progress, you should be able to fully master this magic during this Christmas vacation."

"That's fine. When you get out for the summer, I won't have to pick you up. You can apparate home by yourself."

"Ah~~" After hearing Helen's words, the one who was most disappointed was the little girl Isabel.

If you don't pick up Andy, wouldn't that mean you miss one more opportunity to take the Knight Bus?

No! Once and twice.

The little girl stared at Andy... Stinky Andy is indeed my lifelong enemy.
