Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 298

Aiwen has calculated on paper many times before, as long as he uses it according to the optimal route.

"Don't worry, Aiwen, even if the body is separated, I can quickly treat it." Sirius said.

"Got it!" Hearing his words, Ivan didn't feel much.

Under the influence of magic, a wizard who fails to apparate and has his body split will not die immediately.

There is a period of protection, enough for the people around to give treatment.

Of course, if there are no other wizards around, or if that wizard can't use counter-curse, then he can only wait for death!

Naturally, Sirius was well prepared, and there were a lot of healing potions in Aiwen's bag, so he didn't need to worry at all.

Hermione suddenly became nervous and looked at Ivan worriedly.

She just didn't dare to think about the terrifying scene of Ivan's body split in half and blood splattered everywhere.

"Sirius, you just said that the body is separated?"

"Separation, that is, the separation of a certain part of the body, is an accident that often occurs during Apparition!" Sirius said lightly, and waved Hermione to reassure him, "This kind of situation mainly happens when the determination is not firm enough, so The focus must always be on the target, without doubt, and remembering: purpose, determination, equanimity, this is the point of Apparition!"

"Goal, determination, calmness!" Ivan repeated.

Although Apparition is an extremely advanced magic, it is not difficult for him.

Aiwen's second attempt was obviously much better than the first attempt. After a while of spinning, he successfully entered the void state.

After entering the void, his surroundings suddenly became pitch black, and time and space lost their meaning.

A strong sense of suffocation came, and Ivan felt that all parts of his body were being squeezed, his eyeballs were pushed back into his head, and his eardrums were pushed deep into his skull, as if he had been roughly stuffed into a very narrow tube. inside the rubber tube.

He had felt this way many times before, but this time it came in under his own power.

His body has entered the void, as if feeling the powerful "silent" magic in a silent temple.

Perhaps, the evil god lives in this terrifying space.

Before Ai Wen carefully observed his surroundings, his body appeared from the void, and his feet fell back to the ground.

Fresh air re-infused into the body, and he appeared in the wooden circle without any mistakes.

Harry and Hermione didn't experience Ivan's oppressive and suffocating feeling. They only saw Ivan spread his arms and spun gracefully on the spot. He disappeared in the whirl of his robe, and in the next second, he appeared a few steps away Outside, it looks amazing!

"I succeeded!" Ivan said, trying to breathe evenly, and the dizziness in his brain gradually disappeared!

"Congratulations, Ivan!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of her heart.

"You did a great job!" Harry followed up.

"Perfect aim, determination, calmness!" Sirius said with a smile, "You are very talented in this area, and there are not many wizards who successfully teleport for the second time. !"

With a snap, his body disappeared on the spot and appeared under a big tree in the distance.

The distance is very far, from here, only a vague figure can be seen.

Sirius put the wooden circle in place, and waved to Ivan to signal him to come over.

It's the same as before, but this time Ivan's movements are much more proficient.

His eyes fell on the wooden circle in the distance, and the thoughts in his mind quickly entered the void state as soon as he rose.

After a harsh sound, he appeared beside Sirius.

"How am I doing, Sirius?" Ivan asked happily, feeling much less suffocated than before.

"Great, you have fully mastered the skill of teleportation. What you need to do next is a lot of practice. When this spell becomes a part of your body, you can use it to teleport at any time in battle, and it will be a complete success." !" Sirius said, "Don't relax, it is very difficult to do this, far more difficult than learning this spell. In battle, the enemy will not give you reaction time!"

Aiwen nodded, what he said to Sirius was very similar.

Unlike other spells and spells, shapeshifting does not require much magic power. The key is the control over magic power, which requires extremely fine skills.

This is a bit like the precise and extreme control when brewing potions, which many powerful wizards can't do.

"Come on, Aiwen, you practice a few more times!" Sirius said, "Then we will start to learn long-distance Apparition."

After a few more practice sessions, Sirius apparated Alvin into the Shrieking Shack.

The main points and spells are the same as before, but this time the target location of the apparition is not in Ivan's vision.

He needs to do two more things, determine the bearing and distance, and imagine the surrounding environment of the place he needs to go.

Apparation takes more time and mana than Disapparation, but it's less difficult.

As long as you know where you want to go, grasp the direction and distance...

Chapter 640 Nymphadora Tonks

As before, the inside of the Screaming Shack was still a mess, the wallpaper had come off the walls, the floor was stained everywhere, pieces of furniture were broken and looked like they had been broken, and the windows were boarded up.

Except for Sirius' brief stint here last year, no one has entered the house for more than 30 years.

The Screaming Shack is also known as the haunted house by the residents of Hogsmeade, and few people will come near it.But the screams and howls that the villagers often hear are actually the voices of Lupine in his werewolf form, the place he had to visit every full moon night when he was a student at Hogwarts.

Sirius is very familiar with this place. During the break, he told Ivan, Harry, and Hermione about his past in the school.

Harry listened very carefully, he wanted to know more about his father.

At noon, the four of them ate at the Three Broomsticks.

Many students have gone back to school early, and it is January, and the temperature outside is too cold for much fun.

They didn't see Colin, Ginny, and Gabrielle, and they didn't see Ron, and they didn't know where he and Lavender had gone.

In the afternoon's practice, Ivan will take Hermione to apparate together, this is the first time he has taken someone else with him.

Aiwen was about to make a real long-distance move, probably because he had just heard Sirius recall the past, and he was a little sad. He took Hermione and apparated directly to the Diagon Alley shop and appeared in front of Lu Ping.

Not surprisingly, Lupine looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in surprise!

"Good afternoon, Lupine!" Ivan said with a smile.

"Hello, Professor!" Hermione looked around, happy for Ivan's success.

In just an instant, the two of them traveled from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley.

"Ivan, Hermione, what are you..." Lupine said in disbelief, pushing aside the thick documents in front of him.

"It's apparition, we just want to come and see you!" Ai Wen explained, "Go back right away!"

"I heard Sirius talk about this, I didn't expect you to learn it so quickly!" Lupine paused, "But I think what you two are doing is too risky, it's very irrational behavior How can Sirius help you cheat at the Ministry of Magic, Apparition is a very dangerous spell, there are many wizards every year..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.

"Remus, who are you talking to?!"

In came a very young witch, fashionably dressed, and very pretty!

She has a heart-shaped face with very fair skin, and a pair of black shining eyes are particularly eye-catching.

Like Lupine, she looked at Ivan and Hermione in surprise, "Hey, who are these two children?"

"Ewen Mason and Hermione Granger, I told you before!" Lupine said gently, introducing for both parties, "This is Nymphadora..."

"Remus, don't call me Nymphadora." The young witch said with a shudder, "It's Tonks!"

"Nymphadora Tonks, she prefers to be called by her last name only," Lupine finished.

"If your idiot mother calls you Nymphadora, you will do the same." Tonks muttered, looking at Ivan and Hermione carefully, "So, you are that Ivan Mason?!"

"It's me!" Ivan nodded, and also looked at the witch opposite, it turned out to be this guy.

According to her seniority, she should be the niece of Sirius Hall.

Her mother, Andromeda, was a member of the Black family and Sirius' cousin.But she, like Sirius, was considered a disgrace and a betrayer, because he was born in the ancient and noble Black family, but married a Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks.

If Ivan remembers correctly, Tonks should have just become an Auror, a colleague of Sirius.

Why did she appear here? It was obvious that Lupine had the same question.

"Tonks, why did you come to me?" The corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if he was a little helpless.

"Today is the weekend, I am resting, I have nothing to do, just want to come and see you!"

The smile on the corner of Lupine's mouth became more and more helpless, there was nothing he could do about Tonks.

The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, and Ivan keenly sensed that something was wrong, and Tonks seemed to be secretly in love with Lupine!

It can be seen that Lupine also has a good impression of the other party, otherwise it would not be this expression.

With Lupine's rigorous personality, he would not allow an irrelevant person to enter his office casually.

"I heard from Sirius that the department has been very busy recently, and the Aurors have been sent out..."

"Don't mention it, up until now, that old man Scrimgeour has only assigned me trivial things like smuggling the cauldron, it's so boring!" Tonks said nonchalantly, looking at Ai with great interest. Wen and Hermione, "By the way, you two should be in the school, why are you here?"

"that is because……"

"I see, it's Apparation!" Tonks didn't seem to care about it, "Sirius told me about it, and asked me to cooperate with him in the Apparation test list, and put your The name was added, and I wondered what he was up to. So you've started learning Apparation?!"

Ivan nodded again, hoping that Sirius could do it more covertly.

It's best not to let others know that I can apparate myself.

Lupine also looked helpless, as if he had known for a long time that she and Sirius had done this together.

"That's amazing, no wonder everyone says you're very talented!" Tonks said cheerfully, "I'm at your age, not to mention Apparition, and I haven't even mastered a few real spells. My teacher always explain……"

"Okay, Tonks, they are going back soon, you sit with Hermione for a while, I have something to say to Ivan." Lupine said.

"Okay!" Tonks led Hermione to sit on the round table by the fireplace, and made a pot of tea and cake.

The two of them were talking about something, and in the next second, Tonks' hair went from violet blue to bubblegum pink.

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked, looking at her in surprise.

"I'm a Transformmagus!" she explained, looking at herself in a small mirror, turning her head from side to side, looking at her hair from all angles, "that is, I can change my appearance at will. "

"I know this magic can help users change their own form. This is a very, very rare spell."

"I was born with it. During the Auror training, I got the highest score in concealment and camouflage without studying. It's amazing!" Tonks said proudly.

Chapter 641 Further contact with the mermaid

"What do I have to do to become a Disguise Magus?" Hermione asked, interested in this spell.

"Transfiguration Mags are very rare. They are all born, not acquired. Most wizards need to use magic wands or potions to change their appearance!" Tonks said, "But with hard work, you can... "

While Hermione and Tonks continued talking, Ivan and Lupine were also talking.

"Ewen, don't worry about Tonks, she is one of my own, we met a long time ago, she has always been like this!" Lupine said with a wry smile, helplessly watching Tonks changing hair color on the other side of the room, "You may not know that her mother, Andromeda, is Sirius' cousin, who was also expelled from the Black family..."

"Sirius told me that Andromeda was his favorite cousin. Because she married a Muggle-born wizard, she was removed from the family tree of the Black family!" Aiwen said, "I believe Tonks, Is there anything else, I'll go back without it!"

He was going to leave, he didn't want to disturb Lupine and Tonks being alone and cultivating their relationship by staying here.

Besides, Sirius and Harry were waiting for him and Hermione at the Shrieking Shack.

"It's really not suitable for you two to stay here for too long. It will be troublesome if someone finds out!" Lupine nodded and said, taking out a cloth bag and handing it to Ai Wen, "This is the gift you asked me to buy for you some time ago. They are all items made by the best craftsmen, they are very exquisite, I personally selected them, those mermaids should be satisfied."

"I hope!" Ivan took the things over and sighed.

It is really difficult to deal with mermaids. He has worked so hard to communicate several times before and after, so that those mermaids don't turn around and run away after seeing him, but that's all. To further deepen the relationship and trust, you need to Keep on giving gifts.

Fortunately, through this period of contact, Aiwen discovered that besides music, mermaids also like various items made by humans.

Such as furniture, mirrors, various accessories, etc. These things are very popular among the Hogwarts mermaid clan.

They are willing to take out some herbs and magic materials that grow deep in the bottom of the lake in exchange for these items.

Among them, Aiwen selected all the precious and rare magic materials to make potions and alchemy.

The rest of the normal stuff was handed over to Fred and George, who both used it to produce prank props.

The materials that the mermaid took out far exceeded the original value of the items exchanged with Aiwen, and the profit of the transaction was very high.

Even if there is no clue of the key to Ravenclaw's secret treasure, he is willing to continue this transaction.

More than ten minutes later, Alvin and Hermione Apparated back to the Shrieking Shack.

Sirius announced that Ivan could use Apparition alone, and gave him a copy of "Common Apparation Mistakes and How to Avoid It". Solution.

……

Because he was not sure how long it would take to communicate and trade with the mermaid, Aiwen decided to act after dinner.
