"Next, let's register first, and then find my good friend, who is Auror from the French Ministry of Magic."
Her house is quite big, so we stayed there during our time in Paris!
Amy led George out of the Portkey Office at the French Ministry of Magic, took the cage elevator to the main hall, and had him sit on a bench next to her.
"Wait here for me a moment, I'll go say hello to her and get the keys."
I think
George was about to say that he didn't want to stay at Amy's friend's house and wanted to stay at a hotel on Magical Street, but Amy had already turned around and dashed into the crowd.
"Never mind, as long as I can learn well, it doesn't matter where I am."
He wasn't short of money. Staying in a hotel was expensive, but it was convenient and he could go to Magical Street anytime.
He could even pay for Amy's accommodation.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit too exaggerated, so I let it go.
Amy went to find her Auror friend, and George also stood up from his stool and began to look around at the France Ministry of Magic.
Compared to the retro and rigid traditional decorations of the United Kingdom Ministry of Magic, the decorations of the French Ministry of Magic appear more romantic and free, with various beautiful lace decorations everywhere, bearing some Art Nouveau style.
About half an hour later, Amy returned to the hall.
"Alright, let's leave the Ministry of Magic first. The French Ministry of Magic has set up Anti-Apparition Charm here, so we can't use Apparition normally."
"After we leave the Ministry of Magic, I'll Apparition with you to my friend's house."
"You're familiar with this place, so you can decide for yourself."
George nodded in agreement.
So the two of them took the Magic Elevator again and went straight up to Fürstenberg Square outside the Ministry of Magic.
It turns out that the entire France Ministry of Magic is located beneath this square.
"Apparition!"
Finding a place without Muggle, Mira and George vanished instantly, reappearing on the famous Champs-Élysées in Paris.
"Your friend's house is on Magical Street?"
George looked surprised.
The Champs-Élysées is hailed as "the most beautiful avenue in the world" and is also the entrance to the Magical Street in Paris.
Normally, unless they own a shop in Magical Street, wizards rarely settle down there; it's too expensive.
Ron's father, Mr. Weasley, also worked at the Ministry of Magic, but his family lived in Ottley St. Ottery St Catchpole, Devon, a village of half-wizards and half- Muggle.
It's quite far from the London Ministry of Magic.
"The Magical Street in Paris is different from Diagon Alley in London. Diagon Alley in London is the oldest Magical Street in history. Because there were not many wizards at that time, it was not built very large."
However, the France Magical Street was built later, and it is the same size as the Muggle Champs-Élysées, even in terms of structure.
Therefore, only a small part of this Magical Street is shops; most of it consists of houses where wizards live.
Unlike in the United Kingdom where wizards are scattered across the country, in France, most wizards live in the Magical Street.
Amy led George to a statue sitting on a stone pillar in the alley in the middle of the street.
"Confuse the Audience!"
A Confundus Charm disoriented the guard standing in front of the statue, and he dove inside after the statue lifted its skirt.
Seeing this, George followed suit and crawled inside.
The street that came into view was almost identical to the Champs-Élysées he had just seen.
If there's any difference, it's that the signs on the storefronts are different from those hanging outside.
Outside, there are pet shops; here, there are Fantastic Beasts pet shops, libraries have become Magic Book, pharmacies have become Potions shop, and so on.
As for clothing, wizards in France don't seem to like wearing wizard robes. They prefer to wear suits and ties like Muggle. If it weren't for the wands they were carrying, you wouldn't be able to tell they were wizards.
While some wizards in the United Kingdom do wear suits, especially those working for the Ministry of Magic, you can still see many older wizards in traditional robes on Diagon Alley.
In fact, this can be clearly seen from the school uniforms of the students in the wizarding schools of the two countries.
At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United Kingdom, all young wizards wear wizard robes while at school, and most teachers also wear wizard robes. Wizard robes are the school uniform of Hogwarts.
However, at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France, the school uniform is not the traditional wizard robe, but a more modern blue suit and long skirt.
"Because most of the France wizards live here, it gets very lively after summer vacation. You can see many young wizards from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic on vacation, and sometimes if you're lucky, you might even catch a performance by the Magical Creatures Troupe."
As Amy explained things to George, she led George to the second floor of a residential building, unlocked the door with a key, and went inside.
"It looks pretty good."
George glanced at it briefly. The house was about 130 square meters, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony, decorated in a European style.
"It's still early, you can go and stroll around Magical Street. I'll find a tavern to have a drink, and we'll officially start teaching tomorrow."
After placing George's luggage in an empty room, Amy felt her craving for alcohol returning and decided to find a pub to sober up.
However, George reached out and stopped her.
"No need, I'm not interested in strolling through Magical Street right now. Let's start teaching now!"
There's no time you can't stroll through Magical Street. You can go after class in the evening. Daytime is the perfect time to learn. If you learn Apparition early, you can escape in time if you encounter trouble in other worlds.
Hearing George's words, Amy paused for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up:
"You're really ruthless!"
From meeting George yesterday to spending this half-day together today.
Although it was a short time, George's composure and self-discipline still greatly impressed her; it was hard to believe that the boy in front of her was only twelve years old.
For the sake of Galleons, Amy temporarily suppressed her craving for alcohol, took off her coat, put on her vest, and began teaching the Apparition.
"The most important Apparition are three things: goal, determination, and composure. Before casting the spell, you must have a clear and specific idea of where you want to go, without any ambiguity."
In fact, she didn't believe that George could learn Apparition at all. Even if he could learn all the theoretical knowledge, he wouldn't be able to use it.
Because the bodies of first-year wizards are not fully developed, their magical power is simply insufficient to cast high-level spells like Apparition, which consume a great deal of magical power.
This is also why she initially refused.
But she had no choice; she was at her wit's end, and George was very wealthy, so she had to agree to the deal.
However, she didn't think she was lying. At least she would teach him with all her heart and teach George all the theoretical knowledge. But if he didn't have enough magic power to cast spells, she couldn't be blamed.
Once they've grown up in a few years, they'll naturally be able to put their skills to use.
