Chapter 66 Eisen's Proposal

Add the power stones if we don't fall from the rankings I will give you the extra chapter

"Professor—" Eisen, watching the situation unfold, suddenly felt a small hand grab his arm. Turning, he saw it was Hermione, who pursed her lips, looking at him worriedly.

"Ahem, well, don't worry about Harry and the others," Eisen reassured her. It seemed that he couldn't keep spectating without consequences. If he continued, Hermione might hold a grudge against him.

But before Eisen could act, the situation shifted.

"What's happening here? What's all this?" A figure in a turquoise robe pushed through the crowd, demanding, "Who's handing out autographs?"

The familiar, signature smile told everyone it was Gilderoy Lockhart. Harry opened his mouth to explain, but Lockhart slung an arm around his shoulders. "No need to explain, Harry! Here we are again!"

"Come on, don't be shy, Mr. Creevey. A two-person photo is the way to go, and both of us will autograph it for you!"

Lockhart's grip pinned Harry's shoulders, preventing him from moving, and Harry's face flushed, as if he were running a fever.

Lockhart, oblivious to Harry's discomfort, confidently waved to Colin. 

Eisen noticed that Malfoy, the instigator, had quietly slipped away from the crowd. Typical! Eisen thought. Malfoy always knew how to "vanish into thin air" after causing trouble.

Colin hesitantly raised his camera and snapped the picture. At that moment, the bell for class rang.

"Alright, Hermione, it's clear Professor Lockhart has everything under control, so you'd better hurry to class!" Eisen patted her gently on the head.

"Professor Eisen, see you tonight!" Hermione blushed as she spoke, then quickly turned and ran off.

"Oh, see you then!" After a moment of confusion, Eisen remembered the astronomy class that evening and responded.

"Alright, get moving!" Lockhart called to the crowd, pulling Harry aside. "A bit of advice, Harry. I'm doing you a favor here. Creevey got a picture of us together, so no one will think you're too full of yourself."

"Look, it's not a good idea to be handing out autographs right now. I know the picture of us in the *Daily Prophet* might make you think it's time, but believe me, it's a bit premature. I mean, one day you'll be handing out stacks of photos—but not yet!"

Harry opened his mouth to protest, but Lockhart didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Ah, Professor Eisen, good to see you! Off to class now—catch you later!" Lockhart waved to Eisen as he pulled Harry toward the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Amazing, truly amazing," Eisen murmured to himself, shaking his head. If Lockhart wasn't completely inept, Eisen thought, he really wouldn't have any flaws.

...

"Professor Eisen, why have you brought Professor Flitwick to the deputy headmistress's office?" Professor McGonagall eyed Eisen seriously.

To Minerva, Eisen—the young Astronomy professor—seemed particularly strange today. He had unexpectedly pulled Flitwick into her office, claiming he needed assistance.

"Well, it's like this," Eisen began, trying to maintain a smile under her stern gaze. "I want to attempt the Apparition Charm, so I need you both to supervise."

"The Apparition Charm?" Flitwick's brows furrowed in surprise. "But if I remember correctly, you mastered Apparition last year, and in record time!"

Professor McGonagall remained silent, though Flitwick's statement caused her to glance at Eisen with a mixture of surprise and skepticism.

"Ahem, well, I want to try Apparition inside Hogwarts Castle—"

"But that's impossible, Professor Eisen!" McGonagall interrupted, her expression serious once more. "The castle is protected by strong magical wards, including anti-apparition spells. No one can Apparate here."

"Indeed," Flitwick nodded in agreement. "Aside from house-elves and Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, no one has ever managed to Apparate within Hogwarts."

"Right, that's true," Eisen admitted. "But I've been thinking—what if I could combine the principles of Transfiguration that allow for summoning food out of thin air with the mechanics of Apparition?"

He went on to explain how inspiration had struck him in the library. Eisen's idea was to merge the concept of summoning objects with Apparition, potentially bypassing the castle's restrictions.

Though he could have pursued this experiment in secret, Eisen decided it was safer to seek help, especially since spatial magic could be unpredictable.

If successful, Eisen would have developed an enhanced version of the Apparition Charm, allowing unrestricted movement. But if anything went wrong, having McGonagall and Flitwick there would prevent disaster.

Despite Eisen's growing confidence, he wasn't willing to gamble with his life. He hadn't yet had the chance to fully enjoy his newfound immortality.

"Oh, Merlin's beard!" Flitwick exclaimed after hearing Eisen's theory. "If you manage to pull this off, you could earn the Order of Merlin, Third Class—or maybe even Second Class!"

"But this spell mustn't be made public!" McGonagall sternly countered. 

"Of course I won't announce it," Eisen reassured them. "Hogwarts is a sanctuary. It'd be a catastrophe if dark wizards could freely Apparate here."

After his solemn assurance, McGonagall's face softened. She became increasingly intrigued by the potential of Eisen's new spell.

"This spell will be immensely powerful," McGonagall mused, her eyes fixed on Eisen. "I'll need to inform Dumbledore."

Was Dumbledore really going to get involved? Eisen pondered. If so, it might speed up the development of the spell. After a moment's thought, Eisen nodded, signaling he had no objections.

McGonagall promptly left the office.

"Professor Eisen, how did you come up with the idea to develop a spell that would allow Apparition within Hogwarts?" Flitwick asked, his curiosity piqued.

Eisen had a perfect excuse ready. "Well, remember when two students arrived at school by flying car?"

"Haha, yes! It was Harry and Ron from Gryffindor. Very brave and adventurous boys!" Flitwick laughed.

Brave? Eisen thought. That wasn't the issue!

"Yes, well, I happened to arrive at the Whomping Willow in time to protect them," Eisen continued. "But if I hadn't been there, they would've been in serious danger.

So, I thought—what if I could develop a spell with no restrictions? That way, in emergencies like that, we could get there instantly."

"An excellent idea!" Flitwick's face lit up with admiration.
