There had been a lot of rumors in the Ministry of Magic recently.
Firstly, there was news about Voldemort. This news had not stopped since last summer. Everyone was working in worry, and there was nothing else they could do.
Secondly, there was news about Dumbledore.
The people in charge of the Ministry of Magic would always be retarded. Even if they weren't at the start, they would be sooner or later.
Chown had known this since a long time ago. Once those men started to gain power, no matter what the situation was, they would start to become narrow-minded and brainless. This was a bit like the ancestors of the Westerners. After all, they were all transformed from beasts and were more or less different from the original human race.
Unless it was a noble bloodline.
However, it was obvious that there weren't that many noble bloodlines in this world. Even if there were, they had long been worn away by time.
Even Jon had to use all kinds of methods to purify his bloodline, let alone the others.
This was also the reason why Jon had started to groom the head of the Ministry of Magic.
However, it was still too early to talk about this now. He couldn't contact Snape, and didn't know where Dumbledore had gone. There were some things that he had to discuss with Professor Mag.
"Oh, what a rare occasion. Mr Smith, is there anything you need from me?"
"It's like this, Professor Mag." Jon quickly explained the reason for his visit. "I obviously can't contact Professor Dumbledore recently, but according to our previous plans, shouldn't we make more arrangements for the sixth grade's learning content?"
Professor Mag was the executive vice-principal, after all. He could handle these things.
These things didn't need to be planned in detail. After all, there were already relevant standards. He could just show them to Jon now.
Jon flipped through the preparatory courses, and picked out a course on illusions.
He didn't have much choice. Apart from this course, there was basically nothing practical.
"Then I'll make the arrangements." Professor Mag didn't have any other opinions. "Are there any other questions?"
"No, I still have something to settle. Oh, yes. If you see Professor Snape, tell him I'm looking for him. He knows how to contact me."
"Alright."
Jon didn't stay in Professor Mag's office for too long. He had to oversee the fusion of the Hogwarts and the Magic Net. The closer it was to the finishing touches, the more he couldn't leave.
He believed that Professor Mag could handle this matter very well.
Thus, on the first day of the new semester, the sixth graders received a surprise. On the bulletin board in the common room, the professor had put up a big notice the night before.
Phantasmagoria class.
If you have reached the age of seventeen or will have reached the age of seventeen by the 31st of August, you may attend a twelve-week course in Apparition taught by a faculty member of the Ministry of Magic.
Those who are willing to participate, please sign below.
Tuition fee: 12 Galleons.
Harry and Ron, who had just returned from their humble abode, hurriedly joined the students who were crowding in front of the notice to sign in turn.
Ron had just taken out a quill to sign behind Hermione when Lavender quietly walked behind him, covered his eyes with his hand, and said in a coquettish voice, "Guess who it is, Rol-Lo?"
Harry turned around and saw Hermione walking away arrogantly, so he chased after her. He didn't want to stay beside Ron and Lavender, either.
However, to his surprise, Ron caught up with them not far from the entrance of the portrait cave. His ears were red, and he didn't seem very happy.
Hermione didn't say a word as she quickened her pace and walked away with Neville.
"This — Apparition." Ron's tone was clearly telling Harry not to mention what happened earlier. "It should be quite fun, right?"
"I don't know," Harry said. "Maybe it's better to do it myself. It wasn't very comfortable when Dumbledore took me there."
"I forgot that you've already done it … I better pass it in one go." Ron appeared a little worried. "Fred and George both passed."
"But Charlie didn't pass, right?"
"Yes, but Charlie is bigger than me." Ron extended his arms like a gorilla. "So Fred and George didn't nag too much about it … At least they didn't do it in front of him …"
"When can we take the exam?"
"As soon as I turn seventeen. I'm in March!"
"Oh, but you can't Apparate here, in this castle …"
"It doesn't matter. Everyone knows that I can Apparate if I want to."
Ron wasn't the only one who was excited about learning Apparition.
In school, people were talking about the upcoming course all day long. They were all very eager to be able to disappear and appear at will. After all, it looked very cool.
"How exciting, if I can —" Seamus snapped his fingers to indicate that he could disappear. "My cousin Figo deliberately used this trick to annoy me, and when I learn it … he won't have a moment of peace …"
He was so immersed in his vision that he waved his wand a little too hard. The homework of the Heavenly Magic Spell class turned into a water dragon, which bounced off the ceiling and hit Professor Flick in the face.
"Harry Apparated," Ron said to the slightly ashamed Seamus, as Professor Flitwick waved his wand to dry himself and chastised Seamus for copying the sentence. "Deng — er — someone with him, the Squire Apparated."
"Wow!"
Seamus whispered. He, Dean, and Neville put their heads together to hear what it felt like to Apparate.
During the day, Harry was surrounded by sixth-grade students who wanted him to talk about Apparition. When he said that it felt very uncomfortable, they were in awe instead of losing interest.
At ten minutes to eight in the evening, they were still asking him to answer the details. Harry had to lie that he had to go to the library to return the books, and then rushed to Dumbledore's class.
At that time, Dumbledore was talking to Jon and studying the spell in his hand.
"Actually, I have a way to make it look like a normal hand. I remember that ancestor Helga has a Life Spell that can repair it. Do you want me to try?"
"No," Dumbledore withdrew his hand. "I'm a dying man, so I won't waste time repairing this."
"Teacher has recently been preparing energy for the living matter. For this purpose, he has mobilized all the witches under his command. This is a top-level ritual, much more powerful than the one when Credons was resurrected."
Jon ridiculed, then looked at Dumbledore and said, "But how do you make sure that your soul doesn't have any problems?"
The most dangerous part of the ritual was the transfer of the soul. After all, Dumbledore was so old. Even if he was a legendary Wizard, some changes would happen when people died, so Jon was still very worried.
Originally, Helga was in charge of this, but now Helga … It was a headache.
