It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 74 Apparition Tutorial

From the first day he came to Hogwarts, apart from his daily teaching, Sherlock never let go of his self-improvement.

Whether you know the plot or not, only improving your own strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

Through the Hogwarts Library, the largest collection of books in the British wizarding world.

In addition, he can use the name of communication from time to time to learn a lot of useful skills and knowledge from Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, two masters of transformation and spells, as well as the accumulation of the original owner himself.

This allowed Sherlock's learning progress to improve very quickly.

If we talk about his magic level before, it can barely reach the level of Hogwarts ordinary seventh-year graduates.

Less than half a year has passed, and he can at least be called a slightly stronger adult wizard now.

But other magic is okay, whether it is self-study, or asking other professors on the sidelines, Sherlock has a way to master it.

The only apparition, a magic that is necessary for almost all wizards, Sherlock has no way to learn it in Hogwarts.

Because for the sake of safety, as long as it is within the scope of Hogwarts, all anti-apparition spells have been set, and only the headmaster has the qualification to partially cancel this spell.

Otherwise, even Dumbledore usually relies on Fox, the tool phoenix, to apparate in the castle.

So Sherlock had no choice but to secretly practice this spell in the castle.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of apparition itself, this kind of spell is very prone to accidents when practicing.

If there is no one to remedy in time when such an accident occurs, serious consequences may even result in death.

But Sherlock had to learn this kind of curse, and he needed to learn it as soon as possible.

Because the original owner has a license to use Apparition issued by the Ministry of Magic, if he later shows that he doesn't know anything about this common magic, it will definitely make people suspicious.

So Sherlock must master Apparation as soon as possible, and during this period he cannot ask acquaintances to help.

At first, he had a lot of headaches about this matter, but when he went to Filch one day to help the Weasley twins get back some confiscated things (compensation for extending the time of borrowing the Marauder's place), in his On the table, I saw a flyer for a quick spell-casting tutorial.

At that time, Filch looked very flustered, as if he was afraid that Sherlock would see something from this leaflet.

But Sherlock didn't care about his little secret at all, but was reminded and thought of his own method of learning Apparition.

Normal apparition learning is generally carried out in Hogwarts.

When students are over 17 years old, they can sign up for apparition classes in the current semester.

At that time, Dumbledore will set up a special area in the school without anti-apparition magic. After that, the Ministry of Magic will send a commissioner to guide the study. used.

The middle process is a bit similar to the driving license test in the Muggle world.

But like the driver's license, learning apparation is not free. After applying for learning, you need to pay a learning fee to the Ministry of Magic.

Not all little wizards can afford this money.

After those students from poor families missed this opportunity, if they want to learn Apparation again in the future, it is not that there is no chance.

The Ministry of Magic has also privately authorized several non-governmental institutions (similar to driving schools) that can learn about apparation, allowing graduated adult wizards to learn, and then take part in the unified examination.

It is not difficult to find such an institution, and there are advertisements for these "driving schools" on the Daily Prophet.

After careful selection, Sherlock finally chose this "Speedy Wizard Phantom Training Class".

It took 36 gold Galleons to sign up for a private class (twelve Galleons are required to study at Hogwarts, and 24 Galleons are required to study in private cram schools. double the price).

Just to learn a spell, it costs so much money.

But Sherlock can't save this money, he can't use his real identity to attend classes, and the professors in Hogwarts can be regarded as public figures in the wizarding world.

What's more, Sherlock is the youngest professor at Hogwarts in the past hundred years, and at least 80.00% of British wizards have seen his photo.

So private lessons are undoubtedly the safest.

The three most common ways of traveling in the wizarding world-floo powder, portkey and apparition, no matter which one makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Sherlock felt himself spinning in the green flames for an unknown amount of time, and when his mind was about to be shaken outside, his feet touched the solid wooden floor.

He came out from the warm fire, a little dizzy, and at the same time tidied up his slightly messy robe.

"John Watson?"

A rough, hoarse voice sounded, calling out Sherlock's pseudonym.

This is a small hut. The owner of the house is an old man who seems to be about 70 to [-] years old. He has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but he has an extremely strong figure, which can be clearly seen under the close-fitting sweater. muscle lines.

Naturally, Sherlock didn't have to pretend to be so cold as usual at this time.

He casually observed the furnishings in the house, shrugged and said.

"Yes, you should be Mr. Carville?"

"From now on, you will call me instructor." Mr. Carville stood up from the sofa, his back was straight, and he was not much shorter than Sherlock, who was 1.8 meters seven.

"Since I have taken your money, I will impose strict standards on you until your studies can pass the Ministry of Magic's apparition test."

This man named Andrew Cavill is Sherlock's carefully selected apparition teacher for himself.

He had previously served as a trainee Auror training instructor in the Ministry of Magic. He may have a bad temper, but his strengths lie in being responsible and having sufficient experience in dealing with special situations.

"Okay, Instructor Carville, where should we start our study?"

Cavill put on his robe, pushed open the door of the hut, and led Sherlock out of the house. Outside was a lawn about the size of three football fields.

"I want to know your specific situation first."

The cold wind outside was like a knife, but Cavill was so tough that he didn't even button his robe, letting the cold wind blow his robe back.

He took out the registration letter that Sherlock had written to him a few days ago.

"You practiced apparition in school before, but because of the split body situation, you stopped halfway and didn't continue to learn?"
