Apparition Cram School

Since the first day at Hogwarts, Sherlock has never relaxed his self-improvement except for his daily teaching.

No matter 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, from time to time, in the name of communication, he can learn a lot of useful skills and knowledge from Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, the two masters of transfiguration and charms, as well as the accumulation of the original owner.

This made Sherlock's learning progress very fast.

As far as his magic level was concerned, he barely reached the level of an ordinary seventh-year graduate of Hogwarts.

It's only been less than half a year, and now he can at least be called a slightly stronger adult wizard.

But other magics are fine, whether it's self-study or asking other professors for advice, Sherlock has a way to master it.

One of the thing he hasn't learned was apparition, magic that almost all wizards must have, Sherlock couldn't learn in Hogwarts.

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

Otherwise, even Dumbledore usually relies on Fawks, the phoenix, to perform apparitions in the castle.

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

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

If this kind of accident happens without others to remedy it in time, it may even lead to death.

But Sherlock had to learn this spell, and he needed to learn it as soon as possible.

Because the original owner had a license for the use of Apparition issued by the Ministry of Magic, if he later showed that he knew nothing about this commonly used magic, it would definitely make people suspicious.

So Sherlock had to master Apparition as soon as possible, and he couldn't find acquaintances to help him during this period.

At first, he had a lot of headaches about it, but one day he went to Filch to help the Weasley twins get some of their confiscated things back (compensation for the extended time on the Marauders Map), in his A flyer for a quick-casting cram school was seen on the table.

Filch looked flustered at the time as if he was afraid of what Sherlock would see from this flyer.

But Sherlock didn't care about any of his little secrets at all but was reminded and thought of his own way to learn Apparition.

Normal Apparition learning is usually carried out in Hogwarts.

When students are over the age of seventeen, they can enroll in the Apparition Class in the current semester.

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

The process in the middle is somewhat similar to getting a driver's license in the Muggle world.

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

Not all little wizards can get this money.

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

The Ministry of Magic has also privately authorized several non-governmental institutions (similar to driving schools) that can conduct apparition learning, allowing graduate adult wizards to learn, and then take part in the examination uniformly.

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

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

It took thirty-six gold Galleons to sign up for a private class (12 Galleons for studying in Hogwarts, 24 Galleons for normal learning in private tuition classes, private classes are at Hogwarts triple the price of learning).

It takes so much money just to learn a spell.

But Sherlock couldn't save the money. He couldn't use his real identity to attend classes. The professor at Hogwarts was a public figure in the wizarding world.

What's more, Sherlock is the youngest professor at Hogwarts in the past 100 years, and at least 80% of the British wizards have seen his photos.

So private classes are undoubtedly the safest.

The three most common travel methods in the magical world—floo powder, port keys and apparition, no matter which one makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Sherlock felt that he had been spinning in the green flames for an unknown amount of time. Just when his mind was about to be shaken, his feet touched the solid wooden floor.

He walked out of the warm fire in a daze, while taking care of his slightly messy robe.

"John Watson?"

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

Sherlock arrived in a small house.

the owner of the house was an old man in his sixties or seventies. He had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but his body looked extremely strong. You can clearly see the strong muscle lines.

At this time, Sherlock naturally didn't have to pretend to be as cold as usual.

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

"Yes, you should be Mr. Cavill?"

"You will call me an instructor from now on." Mr. Cavill stood up from the sofa, his back was straight, and he was not much shorter than Sherlock, who was 1.87 meters tall.

"Since I took your money, I will hold you to strict standards until you can pass the Ministry of Magic's Apparition exam in your studies."

This man named Andrew Cavill was Sherlock's carefully selected Apparition teacher for himself.

He had previously served as a trainee Auror training instructor at the Ministry of Magic. He may have a bad temper, but the advantage is that he is responsible and has the experience to fully deal with special situations.

"Okay, Instructor Cavill, which step should we start from?"

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

"I want to know your specific situation first."

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

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

"You practiced Apparation in school before, but because of a split, you stopped halfway and didn't continue learning?"
