Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Because Harry failed to ask Horace Slughorn to teach himself Occlumency, he still had to endure the cynicism and harassment from Snape every Saturday night.

What frustrates Harry even more is that even under Snape's cynicism, his own brain defense skills still haven't improved.

Harry couldn't even imagine an extremely simple picture in his own head.

Soon, when February came, the snow and ice around Hogwarts began to melt, replaced by a cold and dreary rainy day.

The lead-grey dark clouds pressed down on the castle, the cold rain kept falling, and the lawns became muddy and slippery.

This led to the cancellation of the first apparition class of sixth grade originally scheduled for Saturday morning, and instead it was taught in the hall.

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived in the hall, they found that the tables in the auditorium were gone, and violent raindrops slammed against the high glass, pressing the enchanted ceiling black and smashing dings. A dull thumping sound.

Professor McGonagall, Snape, Flake, Tierra, Spert and a little wizard professor Harry had seen at the Ministry of Magic stood at the very front of the Great Hall—

He looked rather odd, with transparent eyelashes, slender hair and frail body, as if a whole wind could blow him away.

Harry wondered if disappearing and then reappearing had reduced his body mass, or if this frail physique was ideal for disappearing.

"Good morning!" The wizard from the government greeted the little wizards gathered in the auditorium hall, and all the students fell silent for a moment.

"Hello everyone, my name is Takoros, and I'll be teaching you Apparitions for the next twelve weeks. I hope you pass the Apparition Test this time—"

"Classmates, please be quiet and concentrate!" Professor McGonagall reprimanded.

After being reprimanded by Professor McGonagall, the little wizard who was still whispering in the auditorium hall instantly became quiet.

"I hope you all do well in your upcoming exams," Taokeros continued, as if he had never been interrupted.

"I think you all know that normally you wouldn't be able to Apparate at Hogwarts. But the Headmaster made an exception today - only in this Great Hall...you'll have an hour for you Practice Apparition. Should I stress that it would be absolutely unwise for you to Apparate outside of Hogwarts."

"I want each of you to adjust your position immediately and make sure there is a 5-foot space in front of you."

People started to act. Of course, there's always stumbling and bickering with each other, and everyone wants to be on the front line. This kept the four deans busy.

"Thank you," Taokeros said, "now..."

He waved his wand, and an old-fashioned wooden ring immediately appeared in front of each student.

"It's very important to remember to count the destination three times—" Taokeros said! "Destination, destination, destination!"

"The first step: Concentrate your thoughts on where you are going," Taokeros said. "For example, in your wooden ring, now gently focus on the destination."

Everyone was secretly looking around to see others staring at their wooden rings, and hurriedly followed suit.

Harry looked at the ring on the dusty floor and tried not to think about anything, but it turned out to be futile. He always felt that some ideas and images would suddenly and inexplicably pop up in his mind.

"The second step..." Tao Kerousi said again, "Concentrate your attention to occupy the space! Every cell in the body must think about entering!"

Harry glanced around secretly, not far to his left, Ainor was staring at his ring so hard that his face was blushing, looking like a magnified and deformed egg,

Harry gave a sneaky smile, then immediately turned back to look at his ring.

"The third step," Taokeros said, "stand at that point when I ordered, and feel yourself starting to move. Listen to my order, now... a..."

Harry peeked around again, and most of the people were nervously ready to displace immediately.

Harry focused his attention on his ring again, he had forgotten why it was the third destination

"three!"

Harry started spinning at that point, and he lost his balance and nearly fell. But he's not the only one to lose his balance and fall—

The whole hall was suddenly filled with staggering people, and Neville fell on his back; on the other side, Enor seemed to be shivering, spinning his toes inside his ring, until he found Dan was laughing at him.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Tao Kerousi said lightly, "It's no accident at all, please go back to the original position and adjust your rings."

The second time was no better than the first...the third time seemed worse...the fourth time was nothing exciting.

The hall was filled with screams of pain, and everyone looked terrified, with Susan from Hufflepuff screaming the loudest—

While her own body was shaking violently and painfully in the ring, UU read www. uukanshu.com Her left leg remained five feet away from where she started.

Tiera was the first to react, raised her hand, and waved at Susan—

Susan is like a mosquito in amber, frozen in mid-air.

Tiye stretched out his hand, as if pulling back.

Susan's limbs and legs began to move backwards, back to before Susan's Apparition—

when she was still intact.

"Thank you, Professor Tiera," Taokeros said dispassionately. "Any part of your body is separated because your will is not strong enough. You must keep your mind focused on your destination. , and move without hesitation, but thoughtfully...that's how it works."

Tao Kerousi took two steps forward, turned around gracefully and stretched out her arms, disappeared into the slight whirlpool brought by the robe, and appeared again at the back of the auditorium—

"Remember the three D's! Purpose, determination, and deliberation!" he said, "Okay, students, please try again...one-two-three-"

—But an hour later, Susan's accident is still one of the funniest that has ever happened.

Taokeros doesn't look very discouraged, obviously, he doesn't expect anyone to master Apparition on the first try. He tied his cloak and simply said, "See you next Saturday, please don't forget your purpose, determination, and deliberation."
