Chapter 337: “Flash Spell”
Apparate is probably the only difficult spell that has a large number of people who use it.
Although there is an Anti-Apparition Jinx, there will be a loud sound when apparating. You may not have learned the Patronus spell or any high-level spells for an adult wizard, but Apparate is very useful.
Of course, Sean wants to learn it, but he is too young to do it, especially for long distances. It is too dangerous. Even Grindelwald would not advise him to do so. Grindelwald had said that Sean would teach him another spell when he had more control over his magic, but it was no longer the case after that night in Paris.
The Short-Distance Rapid Apparate recorded by the Aiken family is very similar to what Grindelwald once mentioned. Apparation can be used to teleport for short distances.
This spell is completely different. The output of magic power is greater, and the distance is extremely short. It is centered on the wizard and has a radius of 9 meters.
Of course, the main point is that the time required for this spell is shorter than normal Apparate, and there is no sound. Seeing this, Sean immediately perked up.
Using this spell to span a large geographical area is not realistic, but it is clear that this spell can play its greatest role in battle. Dodge spells, sneak attacks, hide, and more.
Sean thinks it is like this. Normal Apparition is a quick teleportation spell with a loud sound, while this spell is more like a short-distance flash. What surprised Sean the most was that there was no age limit for this spell.
According to the records of the Aiken family, this spell is extremely difficult to learn, and many wizards who can quickly master Apparate will be able to learn it.
This made Sean more interested. Although wizards use magic regularly, they usually follow a simple idea. The harder it is to learn, the better the effect.
Sean glanced at the time. It was already one o’clock in the morning.
“I’m going to learn for a while and see if proficiency in the spell can be seen.”
—-
The next day.
“What happened to you?” Hermione asked in surprise.
Sean has two dark circles under his eyes and yawned, “I thought of a magic spell, and I was fascinated while learning it.”
“Get some sleep!”
“It’s okay. I gained something, at least.” Last night, Sean wanted to go to bed at the beginning but stayed up all night.
Apart from ancient runes and potions, this was the first time he encountered such a difficult spell to learn. It lasted three hours, let alone casting it barely.
This made Sean puzzled.
Although he was too young to use Apparition, Sean had studied it carefully before. It took him thirty minutes to see the direction of the magic power flow. Logically speaking, this new spell is also of the same type. Even if the difficulty is hard, it should not be so difficult.
Sean was caught up in this spell. It took him the rest of the night to figure out the problem. This new spell is not the same magic type as Apparition.
Although the effects are similar, the essence is like a Summoning Charm. A Summoning Charm that has been remade and combined with a special magic power.
Only now did Sean realize why he couldn’t even do the basics.
Sean was relieved that he finally understood it. When he was about to cover the quilt, he found that it was already dawn. That’s why he has two dark circles under his eyes and is tired.
Yawning and coming to the hall, Hogwarts was a little depressed as always.
Although the students were more united, Umbridge was in power after all, and the high-pressure management measures made everyone restless.
Today is different.
Professor McGonagall made an announcement.
Umbridge has been directly brought back to the Ministry of Magic because of attacking students at school and using forbidden magic in the process. She will be held a trial.
The news exploded in the hall. The students discussed loudly and excitedly, and Fred and George hugged each other excitedly. They could finally use those prank items back.
Professor McGonagall did not stop everyone from being so happy. With a smile, she continued until the noise subsided, “The Ministry of Magic told me that there will be no more investigators for the time being.”
“Yeah!” the students cheered.
“Quiet. Of course, the situation is tense now, and I still hope that everyone will not violate the school rules.” Professor McGonagall ended her speech.
The rules from the Ministry of Magic are still imposed on the board. Of course, no student will pay attention to those stupid rules. As long as they don’t get caught breaking the school rules as usual, their lives will be the same as usual.
Umbridge’s departure made everyone happy except Ottoman.
Horrison was very happy. Among the cheering crowd, he looked at Sean, who was drinking pumpkin juice. Last night, Sean was the only person who came to Umbridge, and early this morning, she was gone.
After the happy breakfast was over, Draco came to him.
Sean hooked his shoulders with ease and whispered, “Umbridge is now gone. This proves that our first-stage plan has worked, doesn’t it?”
“Of course,” Draco said excitedly.
Although Sean planned the plan and didn’t know how Umbridge got out, this didn’t stop Draco from being the leader of Slytherin.
Sean smiled, “You did a good job, Draco. Maybe you can understand the true meaning of Glory earlier than the rest of Slytherin.”
“But listen, buddy. It’s just a small progress. Keep pulling them. Come to me if you need anything. I’m sure you can do a great job.”
Draco’s eyes lit up, “Of course.”
“Very well. By the way, there is Fabian’s spy on your side, although he looks dumb enough to be known so easily.”
Just as Draco was about to ask who it was, he immediately realized that Sean was just reminding him that he still had to rely on himself to find the traitor.
His eyes lowered, “How dare he cooperate with outsiders? I will definitely catch that person.”
“Very good.” Sean nodded with satisfaction.
Draco began to learn to be smart, knowing that not telling him the specific thing was to give him a chance to learn.
Both Umbridge and Fabian completely disappeared into the castle, and Hogwarts finally ushered in the heat that had been suppressed for a long time. The students were paired up and chatting happily, someone was secretly using magic in the corridor, and the Weasley twins played cat and mouse with Filch again.
Sean, Hermione, and Daisy went to their usual place, the Room of Requirements.
Practicing the Patronus Charm is their plan now. Of course, Sean has a new spell to practice.
In the brightly lit room, Hermione and Daisy were sitting on cushions, and several of them had just finished practicing the Patronus Charm.
“How on earth did you get Umbridge to use dark magic on you first?” Hermione asked, rather puzzled.
Sean wrote a few words in his notebook and replied, “A combination of the Forgetfulness Charm and False Memory Charm. Fabian will definitely not tell Umbridge about his plan, and I have guessed all his plans. I gave Umbridge a psychological hint.”
“I left a hint. Then, she would follow that hint. At that time, I can just provoke her with a few words. Umbridge can’t help but get angry and attack me so that when the Ministry of Magic examines her, it will only detect shallow psychological hints, not detecting that her mind had been tampered with.”
He told the two of their plans for Umbridge and Fabian, and he went out to kill Aiken’s family in the middle of the night and did not tell the two.
Daisy blinked with her chin in her hands, and she muttered.
“Wow, what an evil plan.”
Sean threw a crystal ball over, “Be careful with your words, Miss Potter.”
“What is this?”
“The things I got, I can show a number of snows according to your age. The snowflakes are quite beautiful.” Sean replied casually.
It doesn’t matter for them to play with this kind of small toy. Other magic props must go to an alchemist to dispose of the traces before they can be given to others. After all, those are stolen goods.
Of course, he had messaged Lupin last night before returning to Hogwarts. While Daisy and Hermione studied the landscape globe with falling snowflakes, Sean buried himself in his notebook again.
Although it was clear that the essence of the new spell was a Summoning Charm, the difficulty still exists.
“The movement of retracting the wand’s tip should be withdrawn quickly and smoothly…”
“Accurate positioning is important. I must draw out the magic as it spreads and put them.”
“Considering that my ring has an Extension Charm, I need to pay more attention when drawing out the magic.”
With a large pile of notes, Sean saw the thing he wanted to see. A new spell appeared on the system panel.
Flash Spell (Summoning Charm) Lv 0: Proficiency 0/5000
“Huh.” Sean let out a long breath.
The hard work paid off, and after solving the procedure.
However, it’s no wonder that the Aiken family’s detailed explanation said that few people have mastered this Flash Spell. It is too complicated.
Sean recited the spell a few times in his heart again, then carefully recalled the important points of casting the spell. He closed his eyes and spread his magic power according to the explanation of the spell.
Everything was going on slowly and smoothly. At the same time, precision is the most important thing when drawing out the magic power for the first time. When Sean finished all this, his forehead was sweating slightly, but the preparations had already been perfected.
“The essence is a summoning spell, precise positioning, drawing out magic power, and summoning yourself there.”
After remembering the important points silently, Sean opened his eyes firmly and raised his wand steadily with a slightly sideways semicircle, two small shakes, a sharp pointing, and a smooth and quick withdrawal.
Sean recited the spell.
Like being caught in a current without humidity and chill, Sean felt he was being wrapped and moving. After a very brief sensation, he looked down.
It was a success.
Next to him, the two who hadn’t bothered him widened in surprise. When Sean turned his head and looked at the two of them, Hermione and Daisy yelled out together.
“Sean, are you Apparating?!”
“It worked!” Sean raised the corners of his mouth, “What did you see just now? “
“You teleported! Like when my parents Apparated, your figure twisted in the air and appeared in another place. Although you only moved about twenty centimeters?” Daisy said excitedly.
Hermione was even more puzzled, “Is this the Apparition spell? Impossible, you can’t use it if you are under the needed age, and your teleportation process is smooth but very short. The most important thing is that there is no sound of an Apparate spell should make. How’d you do it?”
“That’s what I told you. I’ve been thinking about a new spell all night.” Sean waved his hand.
“A new spell? There is no spell with this effect mentioned in the Encyclopedia of Spells, and the difficulty of this should be very high.”
Sean nodded, “The magic needed is high, but it can only move me around 9 meters from my previous position, but the effect is pretty good.”
