The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

In the library, Loren opened the book.

In the past, no wizard had ever studied Apparition from the perspective of the soul and the body. Loren was the first one. There were very few reference materials, so he could only look for them everywhere. If he could find some useful materials, it would be the goddess of luck. If he couldn't find any, it would be okay. He could study them slowly.

"The Swift Ways of Travel for Wizards".

This is a book that studies the travel methods of wizards, which combines the travel methods from the Middle Ages to the present.

At first, it was simple and direct walking, and gradually developed into domesticating magical animals. In addition to the common thestrals, the precious divine horses, thunderbirds and fire dragons, which were extremely dangerous, were also among the means of transportation. Later, alchemy began to develop, and flying carpets and flying brooms were gradually popularized. In fact, there were also pure flying carriages, which were expensive but did not show any style. In other words, they could not be installed and were gradually eliminated.

Apparition has been used for a long time, just like the Patronus Charm in the magic world today. It has a long history, but it is difficult to learn, dangerous, and has little benefit from mastering it... The most important thing is that the travel experience is extremely bad, and only a very small number of skilled wizards have learned and mastered it.

In turbulent times such as goblin rebellions, witch hunts, and wizard wars, wizards are more willing to learn to use Apparition in order to escape quickly and conveniently. The more peaceful the times, the more disliked Apparition is. Many wizards who think they have status would rather spend more time and ride in a comfortable flying carriage.

With the opening of the Age of Exploration, wizards' footprints gradually spread all over the world, and wizards from different regions interacted with each other, giving rise to the demand for ultra-long-distance travel.

Flying carpets and flying brooms are too simple, the riding experience is extremely poor, and they can't even shelter from wind and rain. Flying carriages are too slow, and magical animals have to rest halfway. The efficiency of intercontinental navigation is not even as good as that of Muggles. Pure-blood wizards are willing to spend a few more days, but not a few more months.

During the wave of immigration to America, wizards also engaged in smuggling. They used the traceless extension spell to expand the suitcase into a carriage, which could hold a whole car of people and blend into the Muggle ship. The Magical Congress of the United States also did this when it moved several times, but now it is not allowed to mention it.

Gradually, the door key began to become popular. Later, the Ministry of Magic summoned experts in alchemy to build the Floo Network.

As a review material, the book is very clear. Apparition belongs to classic magic. Its origin is related to ancient magic. The detailed invention wizard and creation process are no longer verifiable. From the distant century to the present, there have been several insignificant improvements, mainly in teaching, such as the three Ds, and the recommended treatment methods when practicing splitting...

Loren read the whole book with relish, but basically gained nothing. Then he realized that the goddess of luck was resting on the weekend.

He didn't feel disappointed. If he couldn't find a breakthrough in Apparition itself, he would start from other angles.

If Apparition is to move the body with the soul, the door key is still uncertain, and the Floo Network is completely the opposite. It is to build a pure space channel to achieve physical movement. The head and hands can be extended from one fireplace to another, and there is no risk of splitting across several counties in the middle.

During the summer vacation, he built another local Floo Network at the Burrow and the Black Mansion. Its main ability is to establish an independent space channel without passing through the Ministry of Magic Transportation Department. At the same time, both ends have the authority to close the entrance and exit of the channel.

What Loren wants to try now is to simplify the complex and cumbersome alchemical crops into magic rituals, and then combine the characteristics of Apparition to completely remove the restrictions on the starting point and end point of the channel.

There are some immature ideas at present, and they need to be carefully considered.

After hesitating in the library, he found a few more books on Apparition and Floo Network speculations. Loren grinned when he read them.

The reason why male wizards in Britain are bald: Apparition is used too much and hair falls out, and it is irreversible.

The wizard who was having a secret affair with her neighbor was blocked by her husband who got off work early. She hid in the fireplace and used Floo powder to escape in a hurry. In a panic, she called the wrong target location and was raped by a gay man.

In a Quidditch World Cup final, the door key made by the organizing committee was mistaken for garbage by Muggles. After changing hands several times, it ended up in the garbage plant. The Ministry of Magic had to set up a special task force to recycle it.

"..."

Loren continued to search for information until it was almost lunchtime. Hermione next to him patted his shoulder and told him to stop grinning. Madam Pince was watching. Then they went downstairs together.

"Did you hear? Professor McGonagall was talking to Professor Flitwick about Hogsmeade during breakfast. They thought it was too dangerous outside and wanted to cancel weekend activities temporarily, but the merchants in Hogsmeade were counting on students, and it would be unfair to them to do so."

"What was the result?"

"In the end, Dumbledore made the final decision, telling students to go out and have fun on weekends, and that professors should worry about safety." Loren shook his head and praised, "Dumbledore is worthy of his words, he is so bold."

Hermione glanced at him calmly, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

Every time she went to Hogsmeade, this guy always insisted on close contact, saying that the environment was different and the feeling was different.

Hermione pursed her lips and didn't dwell on this topic for long: "What are Harry and the others doing? Why didn't I see them coming to the library to finish their homework?"

"Harry is still trying to get Professor Slughorn's memory. The first two attempts failed. After getting up in the morning, I don't know if he was stimulated. He planned to choose a suitable time to drink a sip of Felix Felicis and try it again, and by the way, test the effect of Felix Felicis. Ron and Seamus are studying your notes in the dormitory. They all want to master Apparition as soon as possible, and then go home during the holidays to teach their annoying brother a lesson."

"Professor Morgan didn't offer any suggestions?"

"Heh, mocking me?" Loren raised his chin, "You don't know yet, I recently had a very wonderful idea about Apparition, but time is too short..."

"I'm looking forward to it."

...

Principal's office.

Fawkes lazily huddled in the Sorting Hat Nest, the silverware on the table spewed water vapor, the room was warm, and the paintings of past principals on the wall whispered, but none of them made a sound to disturb the current principal's thinking.

Dumbledore, dressed in a gray and white robe, sat on a chair, and his old and powerful fingers gently tapped the table, making a slow and continuous knocking sound.

A parchment letter lay quietly on the table, with Ilvermorny's wax seal on the cover:

"Dumbledore:

Spring has arrived, the snow on Mount Greylock has melted, and the grass and trees are sprouting. It is really a beautiful scenery. I sincerely invite you to come here for an outing...

Sincerely regards

Egilbert Fontana

In addition: The new buds and leaves of the snake tree are scarcer than in previous years. We really can't find the reason."
