George raised an eyebrow:
"If that's the case, then forget it. I'll only learn Apparition."
Without hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave this Magic Cram Class.
Based on the shop and the witch's clothes, he could roughly tell that this guy was short of money and the shop was not doing well.
Come to think of it, these Magic Cram Class can usually only recruit students during the summer vacation. At other times, they can only fool some Squib and adult wizards with poor minds.
However, there are only so many wizards who aren't very bright. Even if they enroll, they'll choose large True Magic training classes. It's not easy to recruit students for small, Magic Cram Class like this.
That is precisely why they are more likely to agree to things that larger True Magic training programs are unwilling to do.
So he wasn't really going to leave; he was just keeping the other person hanging.
To this end, he deliberately revealed the cloth bag at his waist, which was filled with Galleons, when he turned around.
"Excuse me, student, please wait!"
Seemingly noticing the bulging bag at George's waist, the witch vanished on the spot with an Apparition and appeared directly in front of George, blocking his path.
"Hey, it's not that we can't discuss it, it's just that the cost might be a bit higher!"
She hasn't opened for business for two months, and if she doesn't open soon, she won't be able to afford the rent.
Moreover, based on her experience over the past few years, even now during peak season, her small shop won't be able to attract many students.
If the amount of money this student contributes is more than she would normally earn over the entire summer vacation, then the risk is not insurmountable.
Aren't you afraid of getting caught and fined?
George glanced at the witch, a look of surprise on his face.
He hadn't expected the witch to be so adept at Apparition.
It's important to understand that even with the same Apparition, the difference in how it's used by wizards of different skill levels can be significant.
First, there's the distance. The most elite wizards can Apparition across countries, like Dumbledore.
A very small number of wizards can cross cities.
Most of them can't even travel across cities; they can only use Apparition within a single city, and they can't go any further than that.
However, this is not a big problem, because you can just use it a few more times. If you use Apparition a hundred times, you can cross countries, but your body will not be able to handle it.
A normal wizard without masochistic tendencies wouldn't do that.
Secondly, there's the time it takes to use Apparition.
When a typical wizard uses Apparition to move, it usually takes two or three seconds.
If this were during a battle, he would have been hit by True Magic several times already.
Therefore, a normal wizard's Apparition skill is only suitable for traveling and getting around, and cannot be used in combat.
Some skilled wizards can reduce the time of Apparition to less than one second, allowing them to use Apparition to evade True Magic attacks and launch counterattacks.
Just like Newt in "Fantastic Beasts" often used Apparition when fighting Grindelwald.
It was obvious that the witch, who didn't seem very strong, disappeared from her spot and reappeared in front of him in less than a second, making her a master of Apparition.
"I have ways to avoid the fine, but I want one hundred Galleons for the tuition."
However, let me make this clear beforehand: if you voluntarily give up because you're afraid of the pain of the Splinching, then the tuition fee will not be refunded!
The witch demanded an exorbitant sum.
"And you can rest assured, I Auror in the Ministry of Magic before, so my teaching skills are absolutely top-notch."
"One hundred Galleons? Sure, as long as you can teach me Apparition this summer, I'll give you every single Galleons!"
When George heard that the witch had been Auror, his eyes lit up immediately. He took out a cloth bag from his waist, revealing gleaming Galleons inside.
He wasn't afraid the witch would trick him; he was only afraid that the witch's Apparition skills weren't good enough to teach him.
He's not a weak and helpless first-year wizard. With his current strength, he definitely couldn't beat Dumbledore if he unleashed his full power, since he doesn't have the amplification of a top-tier wand from the Fairy Tail world.
However, it would be no problem to fight ordinary wizards, and even against a master like Snape, the chances of winning in a head-on confrontation would be very high.
It's important to know that in addition to the True Magic from the Harry Potter world, he also possesses fully developed superpowers and the True Magic from the Fairy Tail world, as well as a physique far exceeding that of a normal wizard.
If this witch dares to trick him, he can make her disappear from this world Silent Step, just like his adoptive father did in the beginning.
The witch has just proven herself with her abilities, demonstrating that she is indeed a capable wizard, and that she uses Apparition very well.
I just don't understand why someone who used to be Auror ended up like this.
"Deal! Now get ready, talk to your family, and we're leaving for Paris, France tomorrow!"
The witch's mouth watered at the sight of those glittering Galleons.
George was stunned upon hearing this:
"What did you say? Go to Paris, France?"
"Yes, the French Ministry of Magic isn't that strict about Apparition. Even if you get caught, you'll just get a warning."
Actually, the United States is more free, but it's a bit far, and the travel and expenses are too high, so it's not worth it.
The witch explained.
From London to Paris, after registering with the Ministry of Magic and using Portkey, it only costs fifteen Silver Sickle per person, while going to New York costs two Galleons per person.
The key is that she is more familiar with Paris, having carried out missions there before and having acquaintances there, so she can stay there for free. She is not familiar with New York.
"Okay, let's set off tomorrow."
However, I have no family and am an orphan, so I don't need to report it.
George nodded.
Since the regulations are more lenient in Paris, studying Paris would be a good idea. It would also be a good opportunity to visit the "Magical Street" Paris, which is said to be larger than Diagon Alley.
Perhaps we can find some rarer Magic Book.
"By the way, my name is George."
You can call me Amy.
The witch stretched out her fair hand:
"You need to pay a deposit of twenty Galleons first, and then pay the remaining eighty Galleons after you learn Apparition."
"No problem."
George took out twenty Galleons and placed them in Amy's hand.
Having agreed on the time and place for departure the next day, he left the small shop.
After George left, the witch murmured:
"Are all orphans this rich these days? But this child looks kind of familiar."
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out who it was. I felt like I was probably overthinking it, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hahaha, finally we're rich! Let's drink to our hearts' content tonight!"
Amy weighed the Galleons in her hand, then closed the door and hummed a little tune as she walked toward the Leaky Cauldron.
At least for now, she won't be short of alcohol.
