Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

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

What makes Harry even more frustrated is that even under Snape's cynicism, his own brain defense level has not improved at all.

Harry couldn't even form a simple picture in his head.

Soon, when February came, the ice and snow around Hogwarts began to melt, replaced by cold and dull rainy days.

Lead-gray dark clouds hung low on the castle, and the cold rain kept falling, turning the lawns muddy and slippery.

This resulted in the first Apparition class for sixth grade originally scheduled for Saturday morning to be canceled and instead held in the hall.

When Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived in the hall, they found that all the tables in the auditorium were missing. The violent raindrops hit the tall glass violently, making the enchanted ceiling dark and causing tinctures.

A dull knocking sound.

Professor McGonagall, Snape, Fleck, Tiera, Sbert and a little wizard professor Harry had seen in the former Ministry of Magic stood at the front of the auditorium——

He looks quite weird, with transparent eyelashes, slender hair and a frail body that seems like a whole wind could blow him away.

Harry wondered if disappearing and reappearing had reduced his physical substance, or if this fragile frame was ideal for disappearing.

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

"Hello everyone, my name is Tao Keluosi, and I will be teaching you the Apparition class in the next twelve weeks. I hope you can pass the Apparition test this time——"

"Students, please be quiet and concentrate!" Professor McGonagall scolded.

After being scolded by Professor McGonagall, the little wizard who was still whispering in the auditorium instantly fell silent.

"I hope you will all do well in the exams soon." Tao Coros continued, as if she had never been interrupted.

"I think you all know that normally you cannot apparate in Hogwarts. But the principal made an exception today - only limited to this great hall... You will have one hour to give

You practice Apparating. Should I emphasize that it would be an unwise choice for you to Apparate outside of Hogwarts?"

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

People began to take action. Of course, there were stumbling and bickering among themselves. Everyone wanted to stand in the front. This kept the four deans busy.

"Thank you," Tao Keluosi said, "Now..."

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

"It is very important to remember to count the destination three times -" said Tao Keluosi! "Destination, destination, destination!"

"The first step: focus your thoughts on where you want to go," Tao Kerosi said, "For example, in your wooden ring, now gently focus on your 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 in vain. He always felt that some thoughts and pictures would suddenly and inexplicably pop up in his mind.

"The second step..." Tao Kerosi said again, "concentrate your attention to occupy the space! Every cell in your body must want to enter!"

Harry glanced around secretly. Not far to his left, Enol was staring hard at his ring, so hard that his face turned red, looking like an enlarged and deformed egg.

Harry smiled secretly, and then immediately turned back to look at his ring.

"The third step," Tao Kerosi said, "Stand at that point when I order, and feel yourself start to move. Listen to my order, now... one..."

Harry peeked around again, and most of the people were nervously preparing to disapparate immediately.

Harry focused his attention on his ring again. He had forgotten why it was the third destination.

"three!"

Harry began to spin at that point, losing his balance and almost falling. But he wasn't the only one who lost his balance and almost fell -

The whole hall was suddenly full of people stumbling, and Neville fell on his back; on the other side, Enol seemed to be trembling, spinning on his toes in his ring until he found Dan laughing at him.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Tao Kerosi said calmly, "There is no accident at all. Please go back to the original position and adjust your rings."

The second time wasn't any better than the first...the third time seemed worse...and the fourth time nothing exciting happened either.

The hall was filled with screams of pain, and everyone looked horrified. Susan from Hufflepuff Academy screamed the most intensely——

While her body was shaking violently and painfully in the ring, her left leg remained five feet away where she started.

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

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

Tiera stretched out her hand, as if pulling her back.

Susan's limbs and legs began to move backwards, returning to before Susan's disembodiment——

When she was still whole.

"Thank you, Professor Tiera." Tao Kerosi said without emotion, "Any part of the body is separated because your will is not strong enough. You must continue to focus on your destination.

, and then move without hesitation, but thoughtfully...that's the way to go."

Tao Kerosi took two steps forward, turned around gracefully and stretched out her arms, disappeared into the slight whirlpool caused by her robe, and reappeared 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 was still the funniest one that had ever happened.

Tao Kerosi didn't look too discouraged. Obviously, he didn't expect anyone to master apparation on the first try. He tied up his cloak and simply said, "See you next Saturday, please don't forget the purpose."

, determination, careful consideration.”
