Chapter 15 Apparition, Professor, can we do it again?
Under the expectant gaze of the Shire, a silver light burst forth from the tip of the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand.
A silver phoenix with its head held high emerged from the silver light, spreading its long wings and trailing its long tail feathers. It circled several times in the ward before rushing out the window and disappearing without a trace.
A look of shock appeared in Charles's eyes.
Even if I had seen the Guardian Angel spell being cast in a movie in my previous life, the shock was completely different from witnessing it with my own eyes now.
Dumbledore's Patronus Phoenix exudes an aura of power and nobility that is visible to the naked eye, just like Dumbledore's terrifying talent and strength, making it completely different from the Patronus Phoenixes of other wizards in the magical world.
This made Charles even more expectant.
What will be my guardian angel?
At this point, Dumbledore began to explain the conditions for releasing the Patronus Charm.
After explaining the wand-waving gesture, Dumbledore originally intended to elaborate on the Patronus Charm and how the noble spirits of love, tolerance, and kindness influence the Patronus.
But at that moment, Dumbledore seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression changed abruptly, and he gave Ciel an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Ciel, it seems that today's lesson will have to end here."
"I just remembered something urgent that I need to take care of right away: to buy you textbooks and a wand. Professor McGonagall will come over afterward."
After saying that, Dumbledore vanished from the spot, accompanied by a sharp, explosive sound.
He Apparated and disappeared.
A strange look appeared in Charles's eyes.
Dumbledore's departure was far too hasty. What could have made him so anxious?
Ciel remembered that in the original story, a theft had occurred at Gringotts before Harry Potter enrolled.
Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, breaks into Gringotts in an attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone to help Voldemort regain his physical form.
But Dumbledore had already made preparations in advance, moving the Philosopher's Stone out and intending to use it as a tool to test Voldemort and Harry Potter later.
The fact that the usually composed Dumbledore was in such a hurry, barely having time to say a few words, must be because of this.
However, Dumbledore's hasty departure using Apparition gave the Ciel an unexpected surprise.
In his mind, there was an image of Dumbledore using the Patronus Charm, as well as the image of Dumbledore Apparating away.
The mechanical notification sound from the Deep Blue system immediately rang out.
"Inferable knowledge detected: Patronus Charm, Apparition."
"Should we perform a simulation?"
Upon hearing the notification, Charles's joy was palpable.
This time, what I received from Dumbledore was not only the Patronus Charm, but also Apparition!
To be honest, in Sharl's opinion, the application of the Guardian Spell is rather narrow.
Even Dumbledore's Patronus is only useful in fighting dark creatures; otherwise, he has to obediently act as a messenger.
Such a narrow application would be a disservice to its high release conditions if it weren't for Xia Er's ability to continue developing it.
But Apparition is definitely one of the most incredible spells in the magical world.
Not only is it easy to use, but its effects are also incredibly powerful. It can traverse space by spinning around a few times, without even needing a magic wand. It's really a bit abnormal.
Although there may be a risk of it splitting up, this risk is negligible compared to the spatial effects it involves.
I wonder who developed Apparition; this person is definitely a master of spatial magic in the magical world!
If this is further analyzed, it's highly likely that even more spatial spells could be developed!
Charles's face lit up with barely suppressed excitement as he mentally inquired how many points Deep Blue would need to deduce these two spells.
The reply he received was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.
"The first time you deduce the Guardian Spell, you need 10,000 points."
"The first simulation of Apparition requires 50,000 points."
The Guardian Spell is manageable; Charles can afford the 10,000 points if he grits his teeth, since he still has nearly 50,000 deduction points left.
But Apparition is ridiculous; 50,000 points is still a bit short of all the points on Sharl's account.
As for why it's so expensive, Ciel can understand.
Anything related to space is mysterious and unfathomable, no matter where it is placed.
Even Muggle sciences like general relativity require a lot of points to deduce, let alone apparition, which can directly allow people to travel through space.
Charles sighed.
"The first simulation of Apparition requires 50,000 points. If it's a second simulation, it will require at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It's a bottomless pit."
"There are just not enough deduction points."
He began to consider what other channels he could use to obtain a large number of deduction points, besides the Ministry of Magic's reimbursement and Dark's return at any time.
In the end, Shire's thoughts settled on Dumbledore's hastily departed destination.
"Quirk, Two-Face..."
"The Philosopher's Stone, Horcruxes, these are all good things..."
Charles couldn't help but lick his lips, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.
"This year's Hogwarts has the Philosopher's Stone, and the Room of Requirement contains Ravenclaw's tiara. I wonder how many deduction points I'll get from eating those two?"
"By then, it should be enough to deduce the Apparition Charm three times."
Just as Charles was making his calculations, another explosion rang out outside St. Mungo's Hospital.
A serious-looking, well-dressed witch hurried to the outside of Shire's sickroom. This was none other than Professor McGonagall, whom Dumbledore had mentioned would take Shire to Diagon Alley.
When Professor McGonagall saw Shire, her eyes were slightly red, and she gave him a hug.
"Poor child, having encountered such a terrible thing."
"Don't worry, once you go to Hogwarts, no one will be able to hurt you again."
Feeling Professor McGonagall's genuine concern, Charles nodded in gratitude.
In the original work, Professor McGonagall is practically flawless.
It is fair and just, yet humane, showing absolute care for the students of Hogwarts.
In terms of character, Dumbledore doesn't seem to be as reliable as Professor McGonagall.
After a moment, Professor McGonagall composed herself and reached out to take Charles's hand.
"Come, Ciel, I'll Apparate you to the Leaky Cauldron and teach you how to get into Diagon Alley."
"This process will be a little disgusting, just bear with it."
Then, with a loud bang, Xia Dun immediately felt dizzy.
He finally understood what it meant when the original story described Apparition as being flushed down a toilet.
Space was distorting, and countless scenes were rushing past and receding at high speed. The feeling was even stronger than the most unbearable motion sickness that Xia Er had experienced in his previous life.
When he landed, Charles also gagged.
But at that moment, a notification from the Deep Blue System rang in his mind.
"Since the host witnessed the spatial distortion during the Apparition process, the deduction has gained some reference points, and the points required for the first deduction of the Apparition Spell have been reduced by 5000 points."
Charles's eyes widened instantly, realizing to himself how he could have forgotten that.
The Deep Blue system does indeed possess the ability to make infinite deductions, and can deduce advanced mathematics step by step from elementary school mathematics.
However, this requires a lot of deduction points, since it is equivalent to creating a new field from scratch.
But if you get the corresponding textbook, then you have a reference and you can learn by referring to it.
In this way, the number of points consumed will be greatly reduced.
It now appears that the same applies to the deduction of curses.
If enough reference materials are available, or if one can witness the spatial distortions during Apparition firsthand as in this case, the difficulty of Deep Blue's deductions will decrease, and the points consumed will also decrease significantly.
This is definitely good news for Charles.
At that moment, Professor McGonagall was waiting beside Charles.
She seemed used to the young wizards' reactions after Apparition, patiently waiting for Charles to recover from his dizziness and nausea.
She even moved a little further away to avoid splashing her robe when Shar vomited.
Professor McGonagall spoke only after Charles straightened up.
"Alright, Ciel, we've arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Follow me, I'll take you to Diagon Alley..."
In her view, the young wizard would definitely be eager to witness the magical world that he was about to see.
This time, however, Shire's performance clearly caught Professor McGonagall off guard.
Charles had no intention of moving forward at all; instead, he stood still and pleaded with Professor McGonagall.
"Professor, could you take me through that Apparition a few more times?"
"I love riding Muggle roller coasters and Ferris wheels. The dizzying feeling is so exciting! This Apparition is much better than a roller coaster."
"Fun! I love playing it!"
