Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 592: “Apparition Common Mistakes and How to Avoid”
It's warm in the house, the house-elves have lit the firewood in the fireplace ahead of time, and the heavy curtains keep the cold out.
After a few people entered the house, the house-elf served them hot tea and dessert. This house elf is not a bit, obviously the heirs of the Weddell Smith family will have a house elf allegiance.
As soon as Albert sat down, his eyes fell on the booklet on the table. He picked it up and read the booklet's name softly: ""Common Mistakes of Apparition and How to Avoid It?"
These pamphlets are apparently "professional books" for him and Isobel.
"I'm fairly familiar with Wicky Tekroth. Oh, yes, Wicky Tekroth is an employee of the Apparition Test Center at the Ministry of Magic, and has been an Apparition class instructor at Hogwarts all year. I'll deal with him later." Mr. Mogg took a sip from his teacup and explained with a smile: "Hogwarts students are exposed to Apparition for about three months (February to April) and pass their exams, ten If you don't pass the exam during the second class, it will be very troublesome to pass the exam in the future."
Albert and Isobel listened to Mr. Mogg's introduction to Apparitions, while turning to "Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Apparitions" and distracted reading.
The first page of Apparition Common Mistakes and How to Avoid This describes it as follows:
Apparation is a convenient way to travel, but it also has certain dangers. When wizards are Apparating, they usually make loud noises, which can easily arouse Muggle suspicion. Therefore, do not Apparate blindly, and should be treated with caution, only Apparating when you are sure there are no Muggles around. The use of Apparitions on the road requires professional training, must pass the Ministry of Magic’s Apparition Examination, and hold an Apparition Certificate in order to legally use Apparitions, otherwise it is an illegal act...
"This is a booklet issued by the Ministry of Magic, they will give you when you are studying Apparition, the content is very useful, I recommend that you remember it, it should not be for you Difficult." Mr. Mogg seemed to guess what Albert was thinking, and said with a smile: "Well, there are indeed a bunch of guys in the wizarding world who failed the Apparition exam. Of course, even if you don't pass the Apparition exam, you can still Apparition. manifest."
Speaking of this, Mr. Mogg shrugged and reminded, "Of course, you'd better not take chances, if you cause trouble, you will need to face a high fine from the Ministry of Magic, and if you get into big trouble, He will also be thrown into Azkaban prison for a period of time.
"Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Apparitions" clearly states that Apparitions in the British wizarding world need to be tested by the Department of Magical Transportation first, and only after passing the test and obtaining permission can Apparitions be legal.
Of course, not many people take this seriously.
As for the hefty fine
Unfortunately, it's a split. Maybe it's over before the Ministry of Magic can come and ask for trouble.
Well, the reason the Ministry of Magic requires wizards to have Apparitions is actually the fear that a wizard will Apparate into a Muggle bank and steal the money from it.
Well, as far as Albert knows, the thief, Mr. Mundungus, does this kind of thing a lot, even though he hasn't robbed a Muggle bank.
"Charlie Weasley manifested five miles south of his original goal on his first exam and landed on top of a poor old lady who was shopping." Albert laughs to share the interesting things he knows with the two of them.
At that time, Charlie was ridiculed by Fred, George, and the entire Quidditch team.
"It's not uncommon, it's not getting enough practice." Mr. Mogg looked at Albert and said, "Although I don't know exactly how you mastered Apparition, I recommend Practice Apparition a lot to get used to that feeling."
"It's hard" Isobel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Very strict. Most students need to take the test twice to pass, and some even need to come back to take the test after graduation." Mog stood up, walked towards the entrance door, turned his head and said to the two of them, " Well, after reading it, let's start practicing Apparition. Generally, the closer the distance, the easier it is to succeed."
"Isobel, you need to Apparate into the circle from here."
Speaking, Mr. Mogg took the two to a clearing outside the wooden house, where a wooden circle was placed, apparently a house elf had just put it on, and there were still house elf footprints on the ground.
Mr. Mogg looked sideways at Albert and said, "You give Isobel a demonstration first."
"Okay!"
The sound was quickly drowned out by the "crack" sound, and Albert suddenly appeared in the wooden circle.
It's perfect, and there are no splits, but it doesn't seem to be fully adapted to the side effects of Apparition, which is why, despite its convenience, Apparition is not the most popular way to travel in the wizarding world.
"Practice a few more times, and you'll be ready to take the exam." Mr. Mogg nodded in agreement, although Apparition was more difficult to control the farther away he was, but he still believed in Albert's abilities.
"It's your turn!" Albert stood beside Mog and said to Isobel with a smile.
Isobel began to spin gracefully in place, then... suddenly lost her balance and fell into the snow.
"Shut up, don't laugh." She crawled up in embarrassment and glared fiercely at Albert, who was holding back the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You can ask Uncle Mog to show you a few apparitions~IndoMTL.com~ and then try it yourself, that's how I learned it." Albert suggested that he should let Isobel experience it first. Apparition, which is good for her to learn this magic quickly.
"I will succeed." The girl reached out and patted the snowflakes off her body.
The second attempt was not much better than the first, the third was just as bad, and on the fourth, Isobel finally succeeded.
Well, half the battle.
Albert noticed that some of Isobel's red hair was left in the snow and looked very conspicuous.
"I made it." Isobel began to gag, but was still excited.
"No, it's split." Albert pointed to the hair on the ground and said, "Fortunately, it's just the hair."
"It's not good at all." Isobel said that her hair had lost a section, and she was immediately depressed.
"It's already very powerful. It's very difficult for ordinary people to achieve success in a short period of time." Mr. Mogg reassured him casually. He stepped forward and waved his wand, only to hear a loud "bang", the girl's red hair Picked up again.
"Separation is generally a lack of determination, you must always focus on the target, don't panic..." Mog turned to look at Albert again, "Maybe, you can walk around by yourself, by the way, Don't run too far, and don't Apparate into crowded places."
"No, I'll just stay with her here." Albert doesn't plan to leave, which is most likely a rare dark history of Isobel.
"You should take some time to get used to Apparition, and remember not to get too far from Hogsmeade or you'll get into trouble," advised Mr. Morg.
"Go, go." Isobel waved Albert to leave quickly.
