Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18

After coming out of the dark spiral staircase, the bright light outside seemed a bit dazzling.

Nurmengard is a black castle located in Austria. It was originally created because Grindelwald needed to use it to imprison some die-hards who were not so smart. Although Grindelwald was a dark wizard, he also considered himself a dark wizard. But the irony is that he became the most legendary revolutionary in the European wizarding world by competing against the old guard.

After decades of hard work, almost half of Europe has accepted the management of the Wiccan Party. Unlike the Americas, Europe has a large number of magic countries. There has never been unity here, and there are many countries. , after the success of the Umbrella Party's revolution, unprecedented unification seems to be on the right track.

Nowadays, there is no need to use Nurmengard to imprison opponents. The stubborn old guard has become a thing of the past. Their huge and decaying bodies have been divided and swallowed up by the Umbrella Party in the past few decades, turning them into nutrients for their growth. .

As a result, Nurmengard took off its prison garb and became one of the very important research bases of the Umbrella Party.

The interior of the dark castle is magnificent, but the decoration style is not similar to Hogwarts. This is a research center, and magical modern style is the main tone here.

When Harry walked out of the doorway connected by the spiral staircase, he saw two magic puppets stationed at the door like guards. Behind a metal door that swings in the center is a transparent glass corridor. When looking through the glass, he looked down. At this time, you can see hundreds of busy people going back and forth. Above people's heads, there are countless unnamed small alchemy machines going back and forth, transporting various materials and equipment.

Compared to the Diagon Alley he saw when he first met the wizarding world in England, Harry was instantly dazzled by the new magic he saw here. He even thought that he was not coming to a magic research center, but to a digital... The world of magical technology a hundred years later.

Just as Harry was leaning on the railing and looking around curiously, a series of hurried footsteps settled beside him, and there was a light cough.

Ahem, is it Mr. Harry Potter?

A wizard with gray hair and wearing a silver-blue robe spoke to Harry in English with a German accent.

Yes, I am, who are you?

Johann Bach is a first-level researcher at the Numengard Institute of Magic. I am also a professor of space magic research at Durmstrang. My research field is consciousness-oriented space movement and teleportation. The old professor paused. There was a pause, and then he shook Harry's hand vigorously.

Nice to meet you, Professor Bach. Professor Grindelwald said he wanted to sign me up for a crash course. What does this mean?

Apparition. Bach said simply, and then led Harry to walk quickly through the corridor. It is the object of my research. Oh, by the way, Hogwarts does not have a precise and detailed classification of magic. According to Due to the different nature of magic, Durmstrang completed the classification of magic systems fifteen years ago.

Spatial movement and teleportation guided by the main consciousness refers to the spatial movement with the wizard himself as the subject of casting spells. Apparition is included in this. It is also a commonly used method of space movement. Portkey is different from Apparition. It It is a fixed anchor point type of spatial movement, and the biggest difference between the two is that one is movable and the other is immovable.

As he spoke, Professor Bach reached forward, and the front end of his arm inserted directly into the void, as if it was reaching into an invisible pocket. Harry was tapped on his right shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Professor Bach. The disappearing right hand.

So you can probably understand what dynamic spatial movement is, right?

Harry's body stiffened, not because he was frightened, but because he almost couldn't control his urge to grab the arm and throw it over his shoulder. Professor Bach looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old. , although this age is not too old for a wizard, he definitely cannot withstand this. If he suddenly lies on the ground, who knows whether he can get up again.

“I don’t really understand it, but I’m very shocked.”

Harry's mouth twitched slightly, Is this some kind of branch of Apparition?

To be precise, they are just two different branches classified into one large category. Although the core concept of magic is the same, the performance and usage methods are completely different, and the difficulty is also completely different.

Space magic can be roughly divided into two categories, idealism and materialism. The essence of apparation is that I can go wherever I want. It doesn't even require a wizard to go to the destination, a place name, or even a vague Description can allow the wizard to reach the end point, or one of the end points. This is something that magic like the Portkey cannot do. The Portkey requires the wizard to clearly know where the destination is. The spatial movement of the Portkey is passive and is a way to move people. Or a process of pulling things past.”

Seeing that Harry still had many questions on his face, Professor Bach reached out and pointed forward, We are here. I will explain to you one by one later that today's class is very intense, and I hope you will give it your best. study.

Good professor.

Harry nodded and said nothing. He followed Professor Bach's footsteps and entered an empty room.

Do you know anything about Apparition? I heard Principal Grindelwald said that you are now in the second year of Hogwarts, but you are very outstanding and easy to learn, so you cannot be treated as an ordinary student.

Will this have any impact, Professor? Harry asked confused. He knew something about Apparition, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

Of course, it's like your professor in flying class who will teach you how to ride on a rocket from scratch, even if you've done it many times at home and even flown it well.

Because even if you can ride on it, it doesn't mean you can ride on it correctly? Harry guessed.

Yes, that's it. I know very well the way people were taught to learn to apparate. Throw two circles on the ground, and then let yourself close your eyes and spin in circles, right?

Yes. Harry nodded, Is this method wrong?

Of course not, it's just that this method is outdated, inefficient, and cannot correctly guide wizards to construct the concept of space.

Whether it is Apparition or a Portkey, there is a necessary point for spatial movement, and that is the coordinates, the coordinates of the destination. The coordinates of the Portkey are fixed, and they are fixed when the Portkey is made, so the Portkey The difficulty is higher, and the transmission is more stable, safe and effective.\

,"The moving coordinates of the Apparition depend on the wizard's will, which is imagination. The clearer the imagination, the greater the possibility of going to the right place.

By imagining places we haven't been to. What's the principle?

Once he began to think about this problem, Harry began to find it a bit unbelievable to disapparate.

Names are magical, just like the owls we use to deliver letters. They only need us to tell them who to send the letters to, and they will be able to deliver them accurately. The power of magic can be idealistic, so owls can Find the only correct target among countless people with the same name and deliver the letter accurately.

But it's not just names that have magic power, but also the names of places. Although you haven't been there, someone has been there, someone has said its name, and described its appearance. We can think that magic is everywhere in the world. After recording this information, when we need to go there, or when we want to go to a place with certain characteristics, the magic will pop up a list for us. The clearer our imagination, the more we can narrow down the correct direction of the destination.

The fundamental reason why there is a danger of 'splitting' in Apparition is that the wizard himself does not have a clear idea of ​​the destination. There are several destinations given in the list, and you are not sure which one you want to go to, so you The bodies separated and went to different destinations.

Okay, let's get started now. Before I officially learn to apparate, I want to teach you a little magic.

Professor Bach took out his wand, which was a gold-plated Ruger P08. The carvings on it were not as exquisite as Professor Flitwick's, but the gold glitter was dazzling enough.

The Fantasy Spell, also called the Projection Spell, can turn the images imagined in our minds into projections and appear in front of us. This magic can intuitively train our imagination of things and spaces.

I will describe something to you, and you need to build those things through my description, and use your imagination to refine it. As long as you can master this trick, it is easy to master apparation. At present, I The best students I've ever taught took only a day and a half to learn to apparate, and believe me, it's not difficult.

Then that magic trick you just tapped on my shoulder.

Harry was quite curious about this move that was similar to the dimensional punch. Think about it, when a two-meter-tall super muscular club that can break rocks with one punch punches you in the face, everyone will pay attention. It was placed on the face that was about to be beaten, but after the punch was thrown, the face covered with defenses was not beaten violently. The fist as big as a sandbag attacked your second brother from bottom to top. The severe pain will definitely be Make any tough guy lose the ability to fight in an instant.

Don't say whether it's dirty or not, just say whether it's easy to use or not and that's it.

What eight-foot-tall muscular man wouldn't like being the sixth man? That is a man's romance, no worse than holding Gatlin on the battlefield and playing Rambo. Stealing chicken with strength is better than eating chicken with strength. It brings much more happiness to people. When other people's smiles are transferred to your face When you go there, you will gain twice the happiness.

Don't be too ambitious. This requires a deeper understanding of the concept of space. If you really want to learn it, you can apply for my improvement. Uh, you are not in Durmstrang, right. Do you plan to transfer to Hogwart? There is no future for Ci, the world is no longer what it used to be, and wizards who cannot keep up with the times will have no choice but to be eliminated.

Like Grindelwald, John Bach does not have a high opinion of Hogwarts. He is the one who has witnessed Grindelwald's great achievements along the way, and he is also the one who best understands that ancient magic learning is destined to be eliminated by the times.

Try the Fantasy Charm first. It's not difficult to learn. It's an entry-level magic. I heard that the Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts has done in-depth research on this magic. Let's get started.

From a quill pen at the beginning to a complex house, to the simulation of various mountain terrains, Harry studied with Professor Bach seriously. During the practice, Harry made rapid progress. This exercise It has the same connection as Transfiguration, except that Transfiguration is an in-depth study of the inside, while Apparition requires an enlarged external high-altitude vision.

After completing the training of detailed imagination, the next step is the practice of distance and spatial scale.

Harry didn't forget to ask Professor Bach to send him a letter on the way. Today is the day to go home for Christmas. The Dursleys will pick him up at the station, but he obviously can't keep the appointment today. It's not a good idea to worry his aunt and uncle. What Lee wants to do.

After formally teaching Harry, John Bach finally understood why Grindelwald asked him, as a 'doctoral tutor', to teach a child who had just entered 'junior high school'. In less than an hour, Harry finished dictating things With his precise imagination and modeling, he was able to master distances and spatial scales incredibly quickly. Harry, who was already extremely talented in sports, had a good sense of space. He only needed a little bit of what ordinary people need to practice for a long time. You can get started quickly with just a few clicks.

“In the end it’s all about practice.”

Before the sun set, Harry passed all of Johann Bach's assessments with full marks, and all the preparatory exercises on apparation had been completed. The last step was to use this magic himself.

Stand in the circle.

Bach transformed two circles and motioned Harry to stand in one of the circles. This was the most traditional way of practicing Apparition.

We cannot blindly abandon the past, nor can we blindly indulge in the past. All in all, just be practical.

Imagine that your body is in the circle in front of you, close your eyes, raise your hands, and slowly turn in circles to feel the emptiness like soaring into the sky.

Harry followed Professor Bach's words and slowly turned his body on the spot, imagining that he was in another circle not far ahead. All the details of the destination appeared in his mind. , it is easier to make up for the pictures that you have seen with your own eyes.

When Harry opened his eyes again, he saw Professor Bach applauding him, Very beautiful Apparition. Next we can go to a larger venue to train.

Follow me. He grabbed Harry's arm and led him to apparate to a flat grassland, which was at least five or six miles away from Nurmengard. No one could disturb them.

After a successful attempt, Harry's subsequent practice did not have many obstacles. Gradually, he did not need to close his eyes and rotate his body. He had already captured the wonderful feeling of traveling through space. The magic of spirituality was very powerful. It is difficult to give an accurate explanation, but no matter what, as long as it is done, it is good.

After completing a precise apparation spanning a hundred miles, Professor Bach took out a certificate stamped by the European Wizards Union from his arms.

Congratulations, Harry, you graduated.

Thank you, Professor Bach, you are a great teacher!

Harry took the certificate with a smile. Although it was of little use in England. After all, England had not joined the European Wizarding Union led by the Umbrella Party, but within the coverage of the Umbrella Party, he was a legal, compliant and qualified person. Apparition users can enjoy free treatment and rescue from accidental body splitting once a year.

I hope to see you in Durmstrang and say hello to Professor Flitwick for me.

No problem, but do you know Professor Flitwick? Harry asked curiously.

Of course, I still remember the time when I competed with him for the duel championship. That guy was really strong. He was the fastest and most accurate man I've ever seen. He has a lot of magic power in his body!

Professor Bach laughed, It's just that I didn't continue the duel later. I went to study the use of phantom in combat. By the time I got the results, I would have passed that passionate age.

He smiled helplessly, but he didn't look disappointed.

I will try to update in August!

I plan to rush to the battle rankings. Starting tomorrow, the number of words in the update will be more than 8K. I will try my best to write 10,000 words per day. I have been very busy at work recently. If I have no business, I can only code words to earn more pocket money.
