save the bachelors

Chapter 4124 4126 [Apparition]

Xiang Nan placed a wooden circle in the center of the room.

He stared at the wooden circle, thinking about squeezing himself into it, and then began to turn around, trying to move calmly, and then he chanted a spell...

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and then he found that the surroundings became pitch black. He was squeezed strongly from all directions and couldn't breathe at all. His chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops. His eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, and his eardrums were pressed deep into his skull...

Then, Xiang Nan felt like he was squeezed out of a very narrow rubber tube. He quickly regained consciousness and found that he was standing in a wooden circle, but one foot remained in place.

Xiang Nan was stunned.

Perhaps because he cut too quickly, or perhaps because the pain was too severe, his brain blocked this information and he did not feel any pain at this time.

This is not surprising. The human body is very amazing. When it senses that the body is injured, it will quickly secrete a large amount of adrenaline, making people too excited to feel the pain.

Xiang Nan quickly waved his wand, retracted his foot, and quickly stuck it back to his body while it was still warm.

For a wizard, losing an arm or a leg is not a serious injury at all.

Harry Potter breaks his arm during a Quidditch match and it is healed with just one spell.

Later, even though his bones were taken away by Gilderoy Lockhart, he recovered overnight after drinking Bone-Growing Spirit, which was faster and more effective than treating a cold for ordinary people.

Of course, if the arms or legs were destroyed by magic or were not treated in time, they might not be able to recover.

For example, George Weasley's ear was cut off by the Slasher Curse, and Molly Weasley didn't know how to remove the curse, so his ear could not grow back.

Mad-Eye Moody's eyes and feet were damaged by dark magic, so there is no way to grow them back with healing magic or potions.

Xiang Nan used magic to stick his foot back onto his body. This minor injury was nothing surprising to him, and he didn't even feel any pain.

And the fact that he was able to get into the wooden circle on his first try of Apparition was already a remarkable feat.

In comparison, when Harry Potter started learning Apparition in sixth grade, no one in his entire grade succeeded for several consecutive classes, and many people had "separation" accidents.

So Xiang Nan was not discouraged, and kept working hard. Finally, after three days, he had mastered the Apparition skillfully. He also gradually got used to the discomfort of being squeezed out of the rubber tube after the Apparition.

……

In early August, Xiang Nan and Lily both received letters from Hogwarts containing a list of books they needed to purchase for the new semester.

These include "Standard Spells: Third Grade", "Intermediate Transfiguration", "Numerology and Patterns", "Seeing the Future through the Mist", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Ancient Magic Runes Simple Introduction" and so on.

There is also a consent form for going to Hogsmeade village.

Hogsmeade is the only town in the British Isles inhabited purely by wizards. It is located right next to Hogwarts. Because it is the only wizarding village, the style and appearance of the town are unique, and it can be said to be exactly the same as the fairy tale world.

There are many interesting shops in Hogsmeade Village, such as the Three Broomsticks, which serves butter beer and fire whiskey; Devis and Bans, which sell various magic props such as memory balls, peepholes and anti-demon glasses;

Honeydukes Candy Store sells all kinds of novel and delicious candies, such as cockroach piles, cauldron cakes, lollipop quills, and Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans; Zonko's Joke Shop sells all kinds of novel and interesting magic toys, such as dung bombs, burp candy, frog egg soap, Filibuster fireworks, etc.

There are also the Hog's Head Pub, the Owl Post Office, the Elegant Wizard Clothing Store, Mrs. Pettyfer's Tea House, the Wenrenju Stationery Store, and the Screaming Shack, which is located outside the village. It was not well-known in the past two years, but in the past two years, every full-moon night, villagers can hear shrill screams, which is very creepy.

It is said that there are female ghosts, spirits, and wronged souls wandering around here, so it was rated as "the most haunted place in the British Isles" by the Daily Prophet. As a result, the villagers were terrified and no one dared to approach.

But Xiang Nan knew that it was actually the howl of Lupin who had turned into a werewolf.

In order to protect him and prevent others from approaching the shed, Dumbledore deliberately allowed the rumors to spread, which made people more and more afraid and afraid to approach.

Despite the horrible Shrieking Shack, the students were still eager to go to Hogsmeade. After all, being able to go around the village was a rare pastime for them after a week of hard study.

Just for safety reasons, Hogwarts stipulates that students below the third year are not allowed to leave the school and go to Hogsmeade village.

After all, compared with the impregnable Hogwarts, Hogsmeade has almost no defensive power. If there are really dark wizards who harm the students, with the defense capabilities of Hogsmeade village, they will be unable to stop it.

……

After receiving the letter from the school, Xiang Nan and Lily went to Diagon Alley using Floo powder.

It can be seen that Diagon Alley this year is different from last year.

When they came last year, people were in panic because of the "mysterious wizard incident". Both dark wizards and ordinary wizards were very scared, so business in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley was much quieter.

However, the "mysterious wizard" has not appeared for a year, and everyone's fear of him has apparently subsided, so Diagon Alley has returned to its former bustle.

Xiang Nan did not go to see what the situation was like in Knockturn Alley, but he thought those dark wizards would not forget him so easily.

Fortunately, he now has Fenrir, and the werewolf's magic power that was sucked away will be replenished on every full moon night.

Xiang Nan had an inexhaustible portable power bank that could absorb magic power once a month, so he didn't need to take risks in Knockturn Alley again.

At Flourish and Blotts bookstore in Diagon Alley, Xiang Nan and Lily bought the necessary textbooks.

Lily also went to Madam Malkin's robe shop to make a new school uniform. Girls aged 13 or 14 are in the second growth period and grow faster than boys. The school uniform she bought in the first grade now seems too small.

Xiang Nan bought a new school uniform last year, and it still fits him well now, so he didn’t buy a new one.

……

After returning home, in addition to daily magic duels with Lily, Xiang Nan also taught her new spells, potions and defense against the dark arts.

Spells include speaking spell, happy spell, bird spell, etc.; potions include shrinking potion, blood replenishing potion, soothing potion and confusing potion.

Knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts, including defense against Boggarts, Red Caps, Kabbahs, Werewolves, Grindylows, Hinckley Punks and other dark magical creatures.

These spells, potions and defense against the dark arts knowledge were not difficult for Xiang Nan at all. It could be said that with his current level, he was qualified to be a professor at Hogwarts.

Naturally, Lily learned a lot from him, which was enough to ensure that in the following school year, her grades would not only not fall behind, but would still be at the top.
