Chapter 4124 4126【Apparition】
Xiang Nan placed a wooden circle in the center of the room.
He stared closely at the wooden circle, thinking about squeezing himself into the wooden circle later, and then started to turn around, moving as calmly as possible, and then chanted a spell...
He heard a crisp "pop" sound, and then he found that the surroundings had become dark, and he was being squeezed strongly from all directions. He couldn''t breathe at all, and his chest seemed to be tightly squeezed by several iron hoops. . His eyeballs were pushed 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 immediately found that he was standing in a wooden circle, but one foot remained in place.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment.
?Perhaps it was because the cut was too fast, or the pain was too severe. The brain blocked this information, and he did not feel the pain at this time.
This is not surprising. The human body is very strange. When it senses that the human body is injured, it will quickly secrete a large amount of adrenaline, making people too excited and unable to feel pain.
Xiang Nan quickly waved his magic wand, took his feet back, and quickly glued them back to his body while they were still warm.
For a wizard, losing an arm or a leg is not a serious injury at all.
?Harry Potter broke his arm during a Quidditch match and was cured with just one spell.
?Even though the bones were removed by Gilderoy Lockhart later, after drinking the Bone Creation Spirit, he recovered in one night, which was faster and more effective than ordinary people treating colds.
Of course, if the arms or legs are damaged by magic or do not receive timely treatment, they may not be able to recover.
?For example, George Weasley''s ears were cut off by the Shadowless Curse, and Molly Weasley didn''t know how to break the curse, so his ears couldn''t grow back.
??Mad-Eye Moody''s eyes and feet were injured by black magic, so there was no way to use healing magic and potions to grow them back.
Xiang Nan cast a spell to glue his foot back to his body. This minor injury was not surprising to him, and he didn''t even feel any pain.
? And the first time he practiced Apparition, he was able to enter the wooden circle, which was already a great thing.
In comparison, Harry Potter started to learn Apparition when he was in the sixth grade. Everyone in their grade failed to succeed in several classes in a row, and many people had "split" accidents.
So Xiang Nan was not discouraged and kept working hard. In the end, it took him three days to master the Apparition skillfully. And he gradually got used to the discomfort of being squeezed out of a rubber tube after Apparition.
…
At the beginning of August, both Xiang Nan and Lily received letters from Hogwarts with a list of books they wanted to buy for the new semester.
Including "Standard Spells: Level 3", "Intermediate Transfiguration", "Digital Divination and Shapes", "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes", etc.
??There is also a consent form to go to Hogsmeade Village.
Hogsmeade is the only town in the British Isles inhabited solely by wizards. It is located right next to Hogwarts. Because it is the only wizard village, the town has a unique style and appearance. It can be said that It''s exactly like a fairy tale world.
There are also many interesting shops in Hogsmeade, such as the Three Broomsticks pub, which serves butterbeer and firewhiskey; Devis and Bans shop, which sells various magic props, such as memory balls, looking glasses and anti-monster glasses. ;
Honeydukes Candy Shop sells all kinds of novel and delicious candies, such as cockroach piles, crucible cakes, lollipop quills, Bibi''s flavored beans, etc.; Zuko''s Joke Shop sells all kinds of novel and interesting magic toys, such as dung bombs and burps. Sugar, frog egg soap, laborious fireworks, and more.
??In addition, there are the Pig’s Head Bar, Owl Post Office, Elegant Wizard Clothing Store, Mrs. Pettyfer’s Teahouse, Literary Mansion Stationery Store, and the not-to-be-mentioned Screaming Shack. This shack 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, the villagers can hear shrill screams, which is very scary.
It is said that there are female ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, etc. wandering here. Therefore, it was rated as "the most haunted place in the British Isles" by the "Daily Prophet". Therefore, the villagers were frightened and no one dared to approach.
??But Xiang Nan knew that it was actually the howl of Lu Ping who had turned into a werewolf.
In order to protect him, Dumbledore did not let others approach the shack, so he deliberately allowed the spread of rumors, which made people more and more afraid and did not dare to approach.
??Even though there is such a scary place as the Shrieking Shack, the students are still eager to go to Hogsmeade. After all, being able to go around the village is a rare pastime for them after a week of hard study.
?Just for safety reasons, Hogwarts stipulates that students under the third grade 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 is a dark wizard who is really harmful to the students, Hogsmeade Village’s defense capabilities will not be able to stop it.
…
After receiving the letter from the school, Xiang Nan and Lily then used Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley.
Just see that this year’s Diagon Alley is different from last year.
When they came last year, the "mysterious wizard incident" made people panic. Both dark wizards and ordinary wizards were very afraid, so the business in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley was much deserted.
?However, the "mysterious wizard" has not appeared for a year, and everyone''s fear of him has obviously subsided, so Diagon Alley has returned to its former bustle.
Xiang Nan did not look at the situation in Knockturn Alley, but he thought those dark wizards would not forget him so easily.
Fortunately, he now has Fenrir. This werewolf will be refilled with the magic power that was sucked away every full moon night.
? Xiang Nan has an inexhaustible portable power bank that can absorb magic power once a month. So he couldn''t afford to risk another trip to Knockturn Alley.
At Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley, Xiang Nan and Lily bought the necessary teaching materials.
?Lily also went to Madam Malkin''s Robe Shop to make new school uniforms. Girls aged thirteen or fourteen are in their second growth period, and they grow faster than boys. The school uniform I bought when I was in first grade already looks too small.
? Xiang Nan just bought a new school uniform last year, and it looks quite suitable 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 black magic defense knowledge.
Magic spells include speaking spells, happy spells, bird spells, etc. Magic potions include shrinking potions, blood replenishing potions, palliatives and confusion potions.
?Dark magic defense knowledge, including defense against dark magic creatures such as Boggart, Red Hat, Kabbah, Werewolf, Grindylow, Xinkpunk, etc.
?These knowledge of magic spells, potions and black magic defense are not difficult at all for Xiang Nan. It can be said that with his current level, he is more than qualified to be a professor at Hogwarts.
Lily naturally learned a lot from him, which was enough to ensure that in the coming school year, her grades would not only not fall behind, but would still come out on top.
