Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Looking forward to...looking forward to...

The Christmas holiday passed in Adam's expectation.

He took advantage of Christmas to go back home and chatted with his parents about his current situation. The restaurant was in full swing, the dessert workshop was also very popular, and everything went very smoothly.

Adam wasn't the only one disappointed this Christmas.

The people in the Order of the Phoenix kept a close eye on Harry. From the moment Harry stepped off the Hogwarts Express to the time he stepped back onto the Hogwarts Express, there were dedicated people to pick him up and drop him off. They were Tonks and Kingsley. No chance was found, so he could only return to Hogwarts obediently.

Harry knew that he could not leave Hogwarts secretly without Professor Gandalf's permission. He could not even go to Hogsmeade Village - all the doors of Hogwarts were enchanted, and he could not use the invisibility cloak. There's no way to sneak out, not even through the secret passage.

Sirius was now unwilling to sign permission for him to go to Hogsmeade, saying that Harry could tell him anything he wanted through the double mirror.

"Harry, what are you thinking about?"

Hermione looked at him doubtfully, and her voice brought Harry back to his senses:

"Oh, it's nothing..."

Harry was a little irritated because Hermione and the others didn't think what he had proposed before was a good idea.

Everyone ignores his ideas!

Although his strength is indeed not strong enough, he is already an adult and can at least contribute to the fight against Voldemort instead of hiding in Hogwarts as a "protected little rabbit".

Harry tore up the Daily Prophet with an expressionless expression.

"Then let's set off quickly, class is about to begin."

What they were about to take was a special elective course designed to teach young wizards over the age of 17 to practice Apparition and Apparition, if they were willing.

Out of habit, Hermione opened her mouth to educate the two of them:

"At this time, parts of Hogwarts will be briefly de-enchanted with anti-Apparition, allowing us to practice in school."

Um? Disable anti-Apparition?

Harry caught the key words keenly.

That being the case, if he could learn to Apparate before the end of this course, would he have a chance to directly use Apparition to leave Hogwarts?

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Only when he really started learning about Apparition did Harry realize that there was a reason why this course was offered from after the Christmas vacation until the end of the semester.

"Harry!"

Professor McGonagall quickly ran over and chanted a spell on his split arm. After a burst of purple smoke, he finally felt his beloved wife again.

“Remember the three ‘D’ principles! Destination, Determination, and Deliberation!”

Professor Grindelwald was watching the spellcasting of each student from the front. When students appeared to be separated, other professors would step forward to deal with it, and he would give corrective opinions:

"Harry, don't keep thinking about how you want to Disapparate. You are capable enough to do this. Be confident! Determine the goal, and then do it as if you were taking your first step!"

Harry took a deep breath. He looked at the wooden circle in front of him, took a deep breath, and then...

"Pah——"

Grindelwald looked at Harry who really took a step forward and was silent for two seconds:

"...That's just a metaphor to help you understand the state of calm, kid."

"Sorry, Professor Grindelwald!"

Harry blushed.

Professor Grindelwald shook his head and asked him to practice slowly, then turned his eyes to the next student:

"Mr. MacMillan, stand firm and don't get distracted!"

In the end, on the first day, everyone experienced the wonderful feeling of being separated, and some students even almost split up.

As for the number of students who succeeded after the first day of study...

0 people.

"Okay, I admit it's a little hard."

In the private room of the Storm Restaurant, Cologne took advantage of Adam's presence and tried to apparate again, but the result was that he still went to a different location than One Ear.

"You're already learning fast."

Adam helped his ear reset:

"At least the main part of you got to your destination, didn't it?"

"How long did you study for?"

Colon looked at Adam curiously. He remembered that Adam had known this trick a long time ago.

"Um...five minutes...maybe?"

Adam blinked:

"But we are different. I have learned similar magic through magic props. The difficulty will be much easier if you learn by analogy. And it took me nearly four months to learn that magic."

"Then my goal is to learn to apparate within four months. This shouldn't be difficult."

Cologne nodded with his hands on his hips.

Adam nodded:

"I believe you can do it."

Cologne had no other problems when performing Apparition, it was just that his mind was a little unsteady. His stray thoughts caused him to always miss something. He just needed to practice more.

The same is true for Uther and the others. They have some minor problems, and they can learn to apparate and apparate with more practice.

Back at Hogwarts, Adam came to the door of the Room of Requirement.

Facts have proved that perhaps young people at this age are restless by nature and Harry is not the only one who cannot recognize his own abilities.

Draco contacted Mr. Borgin and Burke to repair the Vanishing Cabinet during the Christmas holidays, and picked a day when everyone went to Hogsmeade to move the Vanishing Cabinet to the Room of Requirement. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Professor Gandalf standing at the door looking at him.

"..."

"Oh, Draco, I didn't expect you to learn Occlumency well. Did Voldemort help you learn it? It's a pity that he was too impatient. From the time you started learning Occlumency to now... has it been a week?"

Gandalf shook his head, his face showing disappointment:

"Why did you choose Voldemort?"

"So that's it... Lucius Malfoy's little abacus was discovered by Voldemort, and he has now moved into Malfoy Manor?"

Gandalf's face flashed with some realization.

He thought Draco was really a Malfoy kid who was born evil, but it turned out to be like this, which was not surprising.

After hearing Gandalf's words, Draco's originally pale face suddenly turned pale like a corpse that had been dead for several days.

He avoided Professor Gandalf's sight and forced himself not to think about anything. His mind was empty, but his memories still surged up uncontrollably...

Just like Lucius couldn't keep the secret in front of Voldemort, the same feeling of powerlessness spread in Draco's heart.

The scenes of the Christmas holiday reappeared in front of him, the haggard father, the weak mother, the crazy aunt, and the terrifying man with the scarlet eyes with narrow pupils.

"Ah--!!!"

Draco collapsed and fell to the ground, trembling at Gandalf in front of him.

Seeing Gandalf reaching out to him, Draco subconsciously hugged his head with his hands and huddled on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, child, Hogwarts is safe, no one will use the Cruciatus Curse on you."
