72 Apparition

Harry went to the main hall with Jasmine while she introduced various things between the destinations.

Jasmine exclaimed in surprise when they reached the main hall. Harry was about to ask what was wrong, but he looked inside the hall and got his answer.

The main hall was at least 80 meters long and 10 meters high and 20 meters wide without any support from the column, but the surprising thing was— it was covered with whole white colored cloth.

Harry could tell from Jasmine's surprise that it wasn't the normal appearance of the main hall.

He went inside while Jasmine hugged his hand. The students inside were talking and poting toward Harry. They were divided into four groups standing at each corner.

Jasmine looked around and found the Thunderbird House as a few of her friends were waving their hands at her. She guided Harry around the corner where the Thunderbird House was waiting. She introduced her friends to Harry as all the girls of the seventh-year from Thunderbird House who came to befriend him.

It was amazing to be in the center of teenage beautiful girls, but it went side-way as Harry was just one while all the girls wanted a piece of him.

Harry was saved from giving an excessive answer when the instructor arrived in the middle of the hall with Apparition.

He was a middle-aged man with a young face but also with a few white hairs. Harry instantly knew that he might be using a beauty product to look young while his real age might be older than he looks.

Everyone became silent and focused on the instructor. "Hello everyone!" He greeted everyone with a smile while looking at all four houses. "I am a senior wizard at the ministry. I will save you guys from all that formal stuff and begin what you were waiting for, for a long time!"

The students cheered by hearing the direct and straight-forward manner of the instructor.

"All right, everyone. Now, listen up! I will teach you theory first, now-now, it is neither long nor boring, but, definitely important!"He spoke like a true master who knew how students were feeling and what they wanted.

He took out his wand from an inner pocket and flipped it.

In the air, a crappy version of the boy, who made 'booed' earlier, was drawn.

Everyone laughed at the picture and even those who didn't know what happened found out as some of them were pointing toward him.

Harry was impressed by this technique to deal with troubled students.

The instructor waved his hand for silence and said, "Apologies, as this magic isn't my strong point. Now, let's get to the point. Consider this boy who wanted to travel to a city near his house. So how did he do that? By walking? Nope, that's a muggle-like thing. We are different as we have magic."

"Apparition! That is what we do!"

"But the question is: How?"

He flipped his wand again and made another picture in the air some distance away. "Look at this," he pointed at two pictures in the air."Apparition works this way— One movement here, and at another movement there." He pointed to the first one and then the second one.

"Most of you might have seen your parents do this, so how do they do that?"

"To understand that, think and imagine the pipe/tube between these two places. This pipe/tube allows moving from one place to another within a second!"

"That's all for theory! Doesn't it sound easy?" He shacked his head, "It wasn't easy. Many people fail to master it. Now, let's move to the practicals!"

He flipped his wand four times and the four corners. In the middle of the students of all the houses, there was a black circle with a radius of 4 meters. It was quite eye-catching in the hall filled with a white cloth.

"Now listen up the method! First, clear your mind from distracting thoughts. Easy right! Then, second, concentration on the black circle. And the last step, think you are standing at the black circle and push yourself toward it."

"Now, but be careful or there might be splinching among you! The first students' houses will receive 50 points. All the best. Call me if you need help!"

As soon as the instructor stopped teaching, all the students of houses started forming a line to their respective place to begin practicing.

It was the same for Thunderbird House. There were around 40-50 students in the seventh year of Thunderbird House which they split into 4 lines around the circle of 4 meters.

Harry also stood in line at the back so he could buy this skill from the system. He bought it for 2500 HP. Soon his mind was filled with all the theory knowledge of Apparation. It was much better than the instructor.

Although the instructor had good skill, Harry still could use some tips so without delay he bought it.

The students at the front were trying, but none were successful so every five minutes they changed position and went to the last to give others a chance.

Harry now understood why the whole hall was filled with a white cloth. It was to make contras so the students could concentrate better. He found out that the students had already got some basic knowledge before this special training started, thus the instructor got the main points.

"C'mon! Hurry up! Others will get the points!" shouted Jasmine standing beside Harry, to the front students of Thunderbird house.

The other houses are doing the same but so far, no one has succeeded yet.

Harry smiled and asked, "Do you really want to win those 50 points?"

Jasmine pouted and nodded, as the other students weren't good.

"Alright, I will do it, but don't be too surprised!" said Harry and walked to the front.

Four students were trying their best, but Harry found it funny. They were looking at a black circle with wide open eyes, and one of them was even talking with his friends. Harry laughed at their naivety. How can they clear the mind when talking like this? It was nothing but a joke!

He trained his mind to the utmost when preparing potions.

They were looking at a black circle with wide open eyes, and one of them was even talking with his friends. He also noticed Harry cut the line, but he didn't say anything.

The boys were already jealous of his looks, and he was the focus of the whole school so if anyone could beat him, he would certainly be famous.

Thus, the boy standing second in a line called out, "Hey, don't cut the line!" And sure enough, everyone was looking at him and Harry, so he got more confident.

Harry marly looked at him. He saw through his petty tricks in a glance. He has dealt with tricky people more than he could have imagined and beat every single one of them. That is how he could stand at the top with his company.

Harry ignored him and took out his wand. He flips it to make a golden circle in the middle of the already present black circle—just enough so one person could stand.

The instructor who was watching Harry raised his eyebrows as he can somewhat think how Harry wanted to do it and to be honest, it was a good idea, but he was just one so he couldn't do it for everyone.

Harry cleared his mind and in his vision, there was an only golden circle in the middle of a black one.

Soon, all the voices faded in the background. His vision and mind were filled with golden color. He urged his body to move to that golden spot.

He was the center of attention so all the students of Thunderbirds were looking at him even those four who were trying stopped when they saw Harry. Some of the students from other houses who were standing at the back also saw this.

Harry didn't care about anything. He was constantly focusing and urging his body to move. He remembered how it felt to side-along the apparition. He focused on that feeling...

*POP*

With a loud sound, Harry disappeared from his original place and appeared in a golden circle!

Everyone was shocked, including the instructor and looked in the direction of the sound. They found that newly entered, that gods favorite, the student was standing in the center smiling.

Jasmine was the first to cheer and run toward him. She was happy to get 50 points for her house and more than that for Harry.

Soon, all the students of Thunderbird followed her to cheer as they too were happy to win this competition by 50 points!

Even the boys looked less hostile as winning the House Cup was more important to them.

The instructor nodded his head as if he expected it to happen and spoke," Alright! We got our winner from Thunderbird House! 50 points for them! The rest of you try hard!"

Thunderbird House cheered the most as they were the first to win this round of the competition.

Soon after, Harry moved to give others a chance, but at the end of the lecture only he was successful. That made his fame rise to the sky!

Jasmine led him to Cafeteria for lunch. It was just the beginning for great days!
