Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Apparition actually includes three parts: "Disapparition", "Apparition", and "Side-Along Apparition."

However, people are accustomed to referring to these three parts collectively as Apparition.

Among them, "Disapparition" and "Apparition" are used together.

"Disapparition" refers to disappearing from a certain place, while "Apparition" refers to appearing in a certain place.

The combination of these two parts constitutes a complete Apparition.

"Side-Along Apparition" refers to a wizard who has mastered Apparition, taking other people along to complete the Apparition.

When Toby took Leif from Hogsmeade to the Wizard's Tower using Apparition, it was actually "Side-Along Apparition."

Under normal circumstances, as long as a wizard learns Apparition, then learning to perform Side-Along Apparition with others is almost effortless.

"…The most important thing is to remember the three D's: Destination, Determination, and Deliberation…"

"First, Master Leif must concentrate and think about the appearance of the destination in his mind, the clearer the better."

"Second, let the desire to reach that destination flood every smallest part of your body!"

"Third, spin in place to enter a state of emptiness, the movement should be deliberate… the more confident and deliberate you are, the easier it is to succeed, the more hesitant you are, the more likely you are to fail…"

Toby certainly wasn't lying; he really understood wizarding Apparition very well.

In a few words, he explained the key points of Apparition.

At this moment, five meters in front of Leif, where the humanoid target used to be, there is now a circle with a diameter of one meter drawn.

And that circle is Leif's current destination; he must try to Apparate into the circle.

Leif held an old wand in his hand, looking at the circle in front of him.

Then, he closed his eyes.

Thanks to his powerful memory, the appearance of that circle was clearly presented in his mind.

Then, Leif followed the insights he had gained when practicing Occlumency before, expressing a strong desire to reach that place in his heart…

Finally, he entrusted everything to magic itself, and then his body decisively spun in place!

"Here I go!"

"Pop!"

When Leif opened his eyes, he was already standing in the circle.

"Ah! Master Leif is truly a genius! He actually succeeded on his first try!" Toby shouted excitedly.

Leif was also a little incredulous; he had already prepared for the possibility of being splinched.

But, this first attempt was actually a success?

Is Apparition so simple?

"Toby, help me check, see if any parts of me are left behind."

Toby happily said, "Master Leif, Toby can see clearly, you are not splinched, not even a hair is left behind! You succeeded! And you don't look like someone practicing Apparition for the first time at all!"

"Merlin above! When Toby helped Master Sophocles learn Apparition before, Master Sophocles practiced for more than a week and splinched himself five times before he learned it…"

Toby's voice suddenly caught, and then he began to raise his fist and beat his big head, "Oh! Toby is so dead! Toby is a bad elf! Actually speaking ill of his master!"

Leif grabbed his arm and said seriously, "Toby, your master is me now. If you want to punish yourself, it can only be for me! Please remember this!"

"Yes…yes!" Toby was almost frightened when he realized the mistake he had made.

After a house-elf re-bonds with a new master, they must sever all ties with their former master, which is why house-elves rarely change masters, because most elves cannot sever their feelings for their former master.

Toby's change of master was an "accident" caused by the system, but since he has changed masters, he must abide by this rule!

In theory, he is the property of his current master!

That is to say, he has no right to punish himself because of others, even if that person is his former master!

The only one who has the right to order him to punish himself is his current master!

"…Don't do it again! Okay, let's try Apparition again."

To prevent Toby from punishing himself again for his mistakes, Leif issued another instruction.

"Yes!" Toby replied, his ears drooping.

"This time, let's try going to a farther place…"

…

Perhaps because Leif had a very thorough understanding of the principles of magic when studying Occlumency, coupled with the fact that he had the magic power of an adult wizard.

Therefore, he learned Apparition surprisingly smoothly.

Before long, he was able to freely travel between the various floors of the Wizard's Tower at will.

Subsequently, Leif's courage grew, he tore a piece of cloth to cover his face, and then independently completed several Apparitions to Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

And not once did he fail, which amazed Toby, who had been following him.

Finally, when he returned to the Wizard's Tower from London with Toby using Side-Along Apparition, he had already practiced Apparition very skillfully.

He didn't expect that just researching Occlumency would be so helpful to him in practicing other magic, this discovery made Leif very happy.

This is the so-called 'understanding one principle leads to understanding all'…

No one wrong one first one hair one inside one content one in one look one look!

That day and night of hard work was finally not in vain!

"Master Leif, congratulations on learning Apparition!" Toby squeaked, "But wizards using Apparition need to pass the 'Magical Transportation Department' exam…"

"Yeah, I know." Leif replied casually.

Just like driving requires a driver's license, Apparition also requires an exam. Only after passing the exam and registering with the Ministry of Magic can you freely use Apparition.

However, Leif doesn't plan to take the exam now.

He intends to use Apparition as a hidden trump card.

You know, there are basically no wizards who learn Apparition at such a young age.

If eleven-year-old Leif were to take the exam, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Then everyone would know that he can Apparate.

Then his trump card would be completely exposed.

An exposed trump card can't play a surprising role at a critical moment!

…

Since practicing Apparition didn't take much time, and basically didn't consume much energy.

Therefore, after resting for a while, Leif prepared to continue his initial plan.

When he came to the Wizard's Tower, he had already chosen several Dark Arts to practice.

And among these Dark Arts, he was most interested in a Dark Art called Nightmare Magic.

This was recorded on a manuscript collected on the fourth floor by a member of the Somnolent family, the inventor is unknown.

After this magic hits the enemy, it can instantly pull the opponent into sleep, and then freely manipulate the opponent's dreams.

In Leif's opinion, using this magic to interrogate people may be more effective than Veritaserum and forced Legilimency…

And if used to torture people, it is even more terrifying than the Cruciatus Curse!

After all, if you can control dreams, then you can make people dream whatever you want…

When the most terrifying things in the depths of your heart appear endlessly in your dreams… not many people can resist this kind of torment!

With enough practice, you can even sneak into other people's dreams silently when they are normally sleeping, manipulate their dreams, and then quietly pry into secrets…

Of course, although this Dark Art is extremely powerful, it is also very difficult to master.

This manuscript has been on the fourth floor for so long, and many members of the Somnolent family have read it, but very few people have truly learned this Dark Art.

Because to learn this magic, you need an extremely strong soul!

Leif realized long ago that his soul strength seemed to be much stronger than ordinary people, so he planned to try practicing this magic.

Moreover, this magic can be performed very secretly when casting, and even a Stupefy Charm can be used as a superficial disguise.

Leif in the current stage really needs such a secret and powerful trump card!
