Chapter 639: Practice and Mastery

Evan’s eyes were also focused on the wooden hoop, trying to figure out where he was going to get.

“Step three,” called Sirius, “and only when I give the command … Turn on the spot, feeling your way into nothingness, moving with deliberation! On my command, now … three, two, one…”

As soon as Sirius’s voice fell, Evan immediately began to channel his magic, and a strong sense of vertigo rose in his body.

His body spun on the spot, about to enter nothingness. At this moment, he suddenly lost balance, and nearly fell over.

“I failed. I didn’t grasp the degree of rotation just now. I used a little too much magic!” said Evan.

“Never mind, you’ve done a good job. Many wizards don’t get it right the first time. Let’s practice again!” Sirius comforted him. “Attention to the movement of rotation. Your body can be relaxed, not so tight.”

“I’ll remember!” Evan nodded, recalling the feeling of spinning on the spot.

Before entering nothingness, the rotation of the body was the first step, and the key lay in the channeling of magic.

Evan had already measured it on paper many times before, and he had just to make use of it to follow the best route.

“Don’t worry, Evan, even if there’s splinching, I can treat it quickly.”

“Got it!” Hearing that, Evan didn’t feel anything.

Under the influence of magic, the wizard who failed to Apparate and had separation of random body parts would not die immediately. There was a period of protection, enough for the people around to give treatment.

Of course, if there was no other wizard around, or the wizard couldn’t use the counter spell, then what awaited was a painful death that would feel like it lasted forever.

Sirius was naturally ready, and there were a lot of therapeutic potions in Evan’s bag. He didn’t need to worry at all.

Hermione was nervous at once and looked at Evan worriedly. 

She simply couldn’t think of the terrible picture of Evan’s body split.

“Sirius, did you just say separation of body parts?”

“Splinching, or the separation of random body parts, is a frequent accident in Apparition!” said Sirius flatly, waving for Hermione to be at ease. “It occurs when the mind is insufficiently determined. You must concentrate continuously upon your destination, and move, without haste, but with deliberation … Remember: Destination. Determination. Deliberation. These are the main points of Apparition!”

“Destination. Determination. Deliberation!” Evan repeated the three D’s after him.

Evan’s second attempt was significantly better than the first one. After a spin, he successfully entered nothingness.

After entering nothingness, everything around him went black, and time and space lost meaning.

A strong sense of suffocation oppressed him. Evan felt he was being pressed very hard from all directions. His eyeballs were being forced back into his head, and his eardrums were being pushed deeper into his skull, as though he had just been forced through a very tight rubber tube.

He had had this feeling many times before, but this time it came in with his own strength.

His body had entered nothingness, and felt just like the powerful ‘Silence’ magic in the Temple of the lake.

Perhaps the evil god lived in this horrible space.

Before Evan could look around carefully, his body emerged from nothingness and his feet fell back to the ground.

Fresh air was re-infused into his body, and he appeared exactly in the wooden hoop.

Harry and Hermione did not experience Evan’s sense of oppression and suffocation. They only saw him open his arms.

Gracefully spinning on the spot, he vanished in a swirl of robes. The next second, he reappeared a few steps away, which looked really amazing!

“I made it!” said Evan, trying to calm down; the vertigo in his brain was gradually disappearing!

“Congratulations, Evan!” Hermione sighed with relief, reassured.

“What you’ve done is really wonderful!” said Harry.

“Destination. Determination. Deliberation! You have a lot of talent for this. Not many wizards can Apparate successfully on their second try. Let’s see what you can do for longer distances!”

With a snap, he vanished and appeared under a big tree in the distance. It was so far that he could only see vague figures.

Sirius put the wooden hoop in place, and waved to Evan to signal him to come.

It was the same as before, but this time Evan’s movements were much more skillful.

His eyes fell on the distant wooden hoop, the thoughts in his mind had just risen and his body was about to enter nothingness.

After a shrill sound, he appeared next to Sirius.

“How am I doing, Sirius?” Evan asked with delight, the feeling of suffocation being much more subtle than before.

“Great, you have mastered the technique of shifting. What you need to do next is a lot of practice. When this spell becomes part of your body, you can use it to move in a blink at any time in battle, it will be a complete success! Don’t slack off. It’s hard to do this, much harder than learning this magic. In battle, the enemy will not give you time to react!”

Evan nodded in agreement.

Unlike other spells, Apparition did not require much magic. The key was the control of magic, which required extremely fine skills. That was a bit like the precise and extreme control when making potions, which many powerful wizards couldn’t handle.

“Come on, Evan, practice a few more times, and then we’ll start to learn long-distance Apparition.”

After practicing for a few more times, Sirius let Evan Apparate into the Shrieking Shack.

The main points and spells were the same as before, but the destination of this Apparition was not in Evan’s vision.

He needed to do two more things, determine the destination and distance, and imagine the surroundings of the place he wanted to go to.

Compared to shifting, Apparition required more time and magic, but its difficulty was reduced. He had just to know the destination and grasp the position and distance…
