Early the next morning, the Weasley family set out to visit Bill as planned.

The Burrow, which had always been very lively, suddenly became quiet, and Kyle was a little uncomfortable for a while.

There is still about a week left in August, and Fred and George are away again. In order to find something to do to pass the time, Kyle found Chris.

"You want to learn Apparition?"

"Yes." Kyle nodded. "Okay?"

"Can you tell me why?" Chris asked in confusion, "You probably don't need this now... Apparition is forbidden in Hogwarts, and you don't need it when you return home.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that Apparition is only allowed to be learned by wizards over the age of seventeen. If you are discovered, you may get into trouble."

The process of learning to Apparate is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may leave your arms or even your head behind.

Watching a part of your body appear somewhere else is not a pleasant experience, and it is a huge challenge to the wizard's psychological endurance.

In history, there was a young wizard who, when learning Apparition, collapsed and turned into a stupid Squib because he saw his own headless body.

And this is not an isolated case.

In order to avoid this situation from happening frequently, there is a strict rule that wizards under the age of seventeen are not allowed to learn Apparition.

However, at Hogwarts, students can start learning this in the sixth grade, probably to take care of students who are a little older.

The Ministry of Magic turned a blind eye to this. After all, there is not much difference between sixteen and seventeen years old, and with the professor watching over the child, no accidents would occur.

But Kyle is only fourteen years old now...technically speaking, he is even thirteen years old, so he is definitely not in a position to study.

"It's okay, I have this..." Kyle stretched out his hand and showed the ring on it.

"If anyone finds out, I can just say it was the effect of a magic item."

Diana had returned the ring to him two weeks ago, and the number of Apparitions had been increased to three again.

"In that case... okay then." Chris hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Since Kyle has always behaved in a reassuring manner in recent years, Chris rarely objects to his requests, even if they are a little excessive.

Of course, if it's something particularly excessive... like wanting to learn the killing curse or something like that, it definitely wouldn't work.

However, Apparition is more of a test of one's psychological endurance, and Chris still trusts Kyle very much in this regard.

Now that he had made the decision, Chris did not hesitate any longer. In the afternoon, he applied for a week's paid leave from the department on the pretext of going to Romania, and then took Kyle to an open space on the northern mountain.

Few people go there, and you won't be seen by people in the village below, so it's very suitable for practicing Apparition.

Several owls followed and flew over, landing on the surrounding trees.

“Before you learn, there are two things you must remember.”

Chris said seriously, "When you're apparating, you must have a clear enough memory of where you're going. The more detailed the better. This will help you avoid appearing in mid-air or getting stuck in a tree."

"Also, unless you can make Apparition as easy as eating and drinking, never use this ability in combat... The enemy won't help you put your severed head back together.

If necessary, you can use the ring without risking your body being torn apart."

Kyle nodded.

"The next step is the most basic content, goals, determination, calmness..."

“I’ve already talked about setting your goals, so let’s get straight to the most important part… Make up your mind and let the idea of ​​where you want to go flow from your brain to your entire body.

If you have any hesitation or lack of confidence during this process, the magic will be disturbed, causing part of your body to remain in place.

Finally, calm your mind and move calmly... If you really feel nervous, you can also turn around in place, which should help you relax a little. "

He threw out a stone.

"That's your goal. Remember what I just said..."

Kyle took out his wand and took a deep breath. Gradually, the only thing left in his eyes was the stone...

Probably because he had Apparated many times before, Kyle naturally entered that familiar state... like being thrown into a washing machine.

“Bang!”

With a dizzying feeling and a loud bang, he successfully appeared five meters away.

Kyle quickly checked his body.

Very good, the arms and legs are still there, and the head is still in the same place...

“Although there are some minor flaws, it’s great to be able to achieve this on the first try.”

Chris smiled and walked over to where Kyle had been standing before and picked up a few strands of hair from the ground.

"I think you must have been distracted at the moment the squeezing feeling appeared. This is also the most difficult problem to solve."

"Try again."

Chris threw another stone. "If you want to learn how to Apparate, you have to try to get used to it and ignore the squeezing feeling that comes with changing space."

Kyle's face began to turn serious.

Now, besides wanting to learn how to Apparate, he had another reason to be serious: to save his hair.

If it is a normal split, the magic of Apparition will still remain at the wound, connecting the body, and there will be no problem as long as it is reconnected in time.

But if it is hair, it is difficult to find where it is separated, and the less it falls, the less it will be.

The second time he Apparated, Kyle was still distracted, and this time it was more serious. He left half a finger in the same place.

Although it didn't hurt, the feeling was indeed a bit scary.

Chris quickly connected it for him and applied some distilled water essence to the joint to speed up healing.

"Why do I feel that you are more nervous than before..."

"Nothing." Kyle laughed twice and said nothing.

He couldn't say that he was nervous because he was afraid of being bald, so he could only change the subject and said, "Let's do it again..."

Then it was a whole afternoon of continuous practice.

It was not known whether it was the seventh or eighth attempt, but Kyle had successfully become familiar with the feeling and never left anything behind.

Chris was extremely surprised. When he and Diana were in school, it took them five or six classes and dozens of failures before they could barely get used to the effects of Apparition.

This was already a pretty good result. He had always thought Kyle would be about the same as them.

But Kyle didn't think it was a big deal.

Seriously... anyone, no matter who it is, once they've experienced the rough travel methods of the Phoenix, it would be much easier to adjust to the effects of normal Apparition.
