Chapter 551: Apparition Teaching, Ron Falls in Love Unilaterally (1/2)
Chapter 551: Apparition teaching, Ron falls in love unilaterally
The snow around the school melted, and the grass became slippery and muddy.
Therefore, the Apparition class for sixth graders was arranged in the auditorium, and on Saturday morning, so as not to delay normal classes.
When the students arrived, they found that the four deans of the college, McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Sprout, were all here. In addition to them, there was also a slender, pale-faced strange wizard.
"Good morning." The strange wizard said, "My name is Weekey Texcross. I will be your Apparition instructor for the next twelve months. I hope to help you prepare for this Apparition class.
As you may know, you cannot Apparate or move in Hogwarts, but Headmaster Dumbledore has specially revoked the magic and lifted this restriction for one hour.
In this hour, everyone can practice freely in the hall. I must emphasize that it is very unwise for anyone to try outside the hall.
Now, I hope everyone will stand in place and leave five feet of space in front of them."
The students immediately dispersed, and the four deans helped to arrange their seats.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Claire smiled and looked at Aaron standing beside her.
"Do you think I'm willing to come?" Aaron said unhappily, "It's just that our dean wants to show off."
"You won't suffer any loss. What did he pay?"
"Nothing." Aaron gritted his teeth, "Snape is already tired enough. As a student, I should try to comfort him.
As for you, you shouldn't have to come!"
"Who asked you to come?"
"Hehe!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "Tell the truth."
"Help Hermione learn this magic." Claire smiled, "The magic world will be more chaotic in half a year, and Apparition will make her safer."
Aaron snorted, "It's unnecessary."
"Voldemort will let her go once, but what about the second time?" Claire asked meaningfully, "Can you control her?"
"I mean, she can learn this magic without your help."
"The teaching of the Ministry of Magic is too rough. Even if she passes the exam, there is a certain risk, but my guidance can make her achieve zero risk."
Hearing this, Aaron did not refute.
After all, Claire is a walking library, and she does have the capital to say such things.
"Silence." The four deans shouted, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Tycross waved his wand, and a wooden circle appeared in front of each student.
"The three most important points of Apparition are goal, determination, and calmness.
The first step is to focus on the goal, which is the wooden circle in front of you;
The second step is to be determined to occupy the space you want, and let the desire to enter overwhelm every part of your body, without even a hair falling;
The third step is, after I give the order, rotate on the spot, let yourself enter the void state, and move calmly.
Now listen to my command, one..."
Aaron blinked blankly, and was somewhat unable to react.
He looked around, and so did others, who seemed to be full of doubts about the guidance and teaching of Apparition.
This kind of high-difficulty magic involving time and space is too hasty to learn, no, to teach! It's all based on imagination?
"See!" Claire was not surprised by this scene, "I said the Ministry of Magic taught very crudely."
Aaron nodded blankly, and at the same time, the word "three" fell. Except for two people, almost all the students rotated on the spot, and then lost their balance as expected, and many people fell to the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay." Tycross said, "Put the wooden ring in place, stand back in place, and we will continue."
"Wait a moment." Professor Snape suddenly said, "I seem to have noticed that some students in our Slytherin College did not move.
Mr. Gaius, do you have anything to say?"
"Gift crab!" Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, and he despised Snape's naming and name-calling game.
"That... Professor, I..."
"Try it in front of everyone. It's not shameful to fail."
"I have a condition." Aaron gritted his teeth and said, "If I can succeed in one try, I don't have to take the exam and pass this course directly."
"This..." Professor Snape pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, "I can agree. I believe Professor Tekros will not have any objections, right?"
"Of course I have no objection." Tekros said, because the exam for the Apparition class is actually similar. As long as you can successfully shift and appear, and there are no accidents, you will pass.
"Then let's start!" Professor Snape raised a curve at the corner of his mouth.
"Listen to my command, Mr. Gaius, your goal is..."
Swish!
Before the voice fell, Aaron teleported directly in front of Tekros, shocking him.
The other people in the auditorium also looked at each other, and compared with each other, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Is this considered a success?" Aaron asked calmly.
"Uh... Apparition is fine, but for higher levels I suggest..."
Aaron impatiently grabbed Tykros' arm and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When he reacted, he was already standing in a wooden circle.
"Apparition should be fine, too."
"Of course." Tycross said with some admiration, "It's perfect, I didn't even feel the slightest discomfort."
"Because it's close, I can't guarantee that you will have this experience if it's far away."
"Very good." Professor Snape said, "Slytherin adds 50 points, and Aaron Gaius doesn't have to take the Apparition test."
Aaron was not happy at all, but he still cooperated and smiled.
After all, Professor Snape was destined to bear the blame for killing Dumbledore. Now he was suffering as much as he could. It was not easy to have fun in the midst of suffering.
"Professor." Claire raised her right hand, "Dean Snape, I can also try it. If I succeed, I don't have to take the exam, right?"
"No problem, of course no problem." Tycross interrupted, "It would be my honor if I could teach two genius students at once."
Claire smiled slightly, teleported directly to Tycross's side, and then Apparated to send him back to where he was standing.
"Keep your word, Professor."
"You and Mr. Gaius will both get full marks in Apparition, I promise."
Clea nodded with satisfaction and stood aside tactfully.
"Beautiful, Slytherin will get another 50 points, and Clea Darwin won't have to take the exam." Snape said proudly. The other three deans looked disdainful, but their eyes showed deep envy.
But there was no other way, the two best students in Hogwarts were in Slytherin College.
"Okay, let's continue." Tycross looked at the other students and started counting down again.
No one succeeded in the next few attempts, but someone failed. Susan Bones had an accident during the attempt, her left leg left her body, and she fell to the ground and wailed in pain.
Several deans walked over at the first time, and it took a long time to help her recover.
"This is splitting, that is, the separation of a part of the body." Tekros explained, "This happens because the determination is not firm enough, and you must focus on the goal."
He explained it very clearly, and even demonstrated it himself.
After seeing Susan's miserable condition, the students were still frightened, and they became cautious in practice. Although no one succeeded after a class, there were no more accidents.
"Everyone, see you next Saturday, don't forget your goal, determination, and calmness.
In addition, Hogwarts does not allow Apparition after class, so don't try it casually." Tekros said, then waved his wand, put away the wooden circles and left the hall with several professors.
Claire went to find Hermione with great interest, ready to teach her a more rigorous Apparition, while Aaron stopped Harry and Ron who were about to leave.
"What's the matter?" Harry said anxiously, "I still have to follow Malfoy!"
"Are you done?" Aaron said speechlessly, "I said Draco is not a bad person."
"I don't think so." Ron said.
"Forget it, I have no reason to stop you, do whatever you want!
But I want to ask Professor Slughorn, Harry, you didn't reveal any flaws!"
"No." Harry's expression became serious, "I strictly followed your plan, but Professor Slughorn was still very cautious.
Didn't you notice that he hasn't held a party for more than a month? I don't think he will give me a chance to ask questions in the short term."
"Is that so?" Aaron frowned, "Let's stick to the original plan, don't rush."
"I'll try my best." Harry said with some embarrassment, "You also know that Dumbledore is very concerned about this information."
......
On the first day of March, Ron's seventeenth birthday.
His parents gave him a gold watch as a gift for adulthood, in addition to a bunch of gift boxes, which made him very excited.
Excited, he opened a box of chocolates on Harry's bed and ate them by himself.
Harry returned to the dormitory and found Ron sitting alone by the window, admiring the moon outside, with an obsessed silly smile on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Harry asked curiously, "Even if you're an adult, you wouldn't be so happy, right?"
"It's beautiful, isn't it, this moon." Ron smiled foolishly.
"It's beautiful." Harry said, glancing at a pile of candy wrappers on the ground, "You enjoyed some bedtime dessert, didn't you?"
"The box is on your bed, I can eat one, or twenty if I want." Ron stood up a little embarrassed, "I don't miss her for a moment."
Harry thought he was talking about Lavender Brown, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
This couple often squeezed together to show off their love, but Ron didn't expect that he would miss her so much after they broke up. Even if it was true love, it was a bit exaggerated.
They were all in the same college, and the men's and women's dormitories were separated by a door and a staircase. Isn't it enough to just go over and find her? Is it that serious?
"To be honest, I thought you found her annoying!"
"How could she annoy me?" Ron said excitedly, "I think I'm in love with her."
Harry was even more puzzled, and said unnaturally: "That's great."
"Do you think she knows I exist?"
"Nonsense, you've been kissing for three months."
"Kissing?" Ron's face changed instantly, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who are you talking about?" Harry realized something was wrong, "Isn't it Lavender Brown?"
"Romilda, I mean Romilda Vane."
Harry's eyes widened. He was sure that Ron and Romilda had almost no interactions, and they had not even spoken to each other.
"This is a joke, right?
Stop it, okay?"
Hearing this, Ron couldn't help it and threw the chocolate box at Harry.
"What are you doing?"
"This is not a joke. I'm in love with him." Ron said seriously.
Harry looked at him seriously, his eyes blurred, dull, and his face slightly pale, "Did you take the wrong medicine? You don't know her at all!"
Ron reacted, and his excitement turned into frustration, "Can you introduce me?
Romilda Vane, I love her, black and shiny hair, big black eyes, and..."
Speaking of all the advantages that women may have, Ron sat back by the window and stared blankly at the moon outside.
Snap!
Harry slapped his forehead. Hermione seemed to have said that Romilda Vane had always wanted to give him a love potion.
Then everything made sense. Ron ate chocolate with a love potion added, so it was natural for him to become like this.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine." Harry said with a smile, "It just so happened that Aaron gave me a bottle of antidote, otherwise I would have to send you to Madam Pomfrey."
Harry took out a ten-centimeter-long test tube-shaped bottle from the suitcase, which contained twenty antidotes.
When he was about to give Ron the medicine, he suddenly remembered that Potions Professor Slughorn could also prepare an antidote, which seemed to be an opportunity to contact him again.
Thinking of this, he put the antidote into his pocket, "Let's go, Ron, I can introduce you to Romilda Vane."
Ron jumped up happily, "Really?"
"Of course, she's in Professor Slughorn's office." Harry said a little guilty, but Ron, who had fallen in love one-sidedly, had no doubts and followed him out of the dormitory happily.
Harry knocked on the door of Slughorn's office. The other party was sleepy, wearing a dressing gown, and looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
"Sorry, professor, I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't absolutely necessary."
Slughorn thought about it, turned his head and looked at Ron behind Harry, "Where is Romilda?"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Powerful Ecstasy." Harry whispered.
"Well, help him in!" Slughorn said, "I thought you had already prepared the antidote. Aren't you an expert in potions?"
"Uh... I think this needs an experienced master, professor." Harry smiled flatteringly, "And I haven't prepared an antidote for aphrodisiacs. I don't know what Ron will become when I prepare it."
