Going to Denmark

The two wonderful days passed quickly, and it was July 25th.

With Skylar and Eleanor engaged, the alliance between the House of Malfoy and Hohenheim Family will soon be exposed. The Hohenheim Family, originally under Walpurgis's control, has now switched sides to Skylar's camp, and will inevitably face Walpurgis's retaliation.

The Hohenheim Family, Pure-blood families devoted to alchemy and living a life of seclusion, decided to follow the House of Malfoy's example and use the Fidelius Charm to hide their manor and officially go into seclusion.

Don't be fooled by how easily the House of Malfoy and Hohenheim Family can use the Fidelius Charm; it's not a simple matter. The original story is told from Harry Potter's perspective. As the most crucial protagonist of the Order of the Phoenix, he's surrounded by powerful wizards—in the books, the Fidelius Charm on Potter home, Black Ancestral Home, the Burrow, and the Shell Cottage were all cast by figures like Dumbledore and Bill Weasley.

In fact, this spell is extremely profound and difficult to learn; most wizards really don't know it.

Not to mention, for a large family to go into seclusion, it requires a strong financial foundation—people still need food and other daily necessities, right? Once they go into seclusion, it's equivalent to stopping working. Only by relying on huge savings or investments that can continuously generate cash flow can they maintain their daily expenses.

Furthermore, someone always needs to be responsible for purchasing daily necessities. In this situation, there are two options: one is for the most powerful wizard to carry out this task, and this wizard must have the ability to break through enemy encirclement; the other option is for a wizard skilled in disguise to be responsible for purchasing, who can use an expensive Invisibility Cloak or Polyjuice Potion.

Neither option is something that ordinary small to medium-sized wizarding families can afford.

Let's return to the Hohenheim Family.

The Secret Keeper of the Fidelius Charm at the Hohenheim Manor was naturally Skylar, the protagonist of this book. Skylar was incredibly powerful, and after a friendly contest with Kodes, his magical abilities earned the trust and recognition of the entire Hohenheim Family.

Therefore, even the family elders who had always been at odds with Eleanor and were dissatisfied with Eleanor succession Patriarchal position could not raise any objections.

Skylar and Eleanor were truly in love.

However, it is undeniable that their marriage greatly enhanced the status of both of them. At the very least, no one dared to question Eleanor's ability to inherit the family, because she could bring the family a powerful ally of Skylar's caliber, something no one else in the family could do.

After everything was settled, Skylar bid a reluctant farewell to Eleanor and left Hohenheim Manor.

Before leaving, he asked Gregorovitch, who was temporarily staying at the manor and serving the Hohenheim Family, to make a wand for him. Skylar himself had tried Ollivander Family wands and had also developed his own wand-making philosophy from Ravenclaw's collection of books. He was also quite curious about the abilities of Gregorovitch, who was ranked as one of the "three great wand makers in Europe".

This wand will be made privately and will not be registered with the Ministry of Magic, making it an illegal wand. However, Skylar doesn't plan to use it regularly; he simply considers it a backup wand for emergencies, so that's not a problem.

Skylar stood in an inconspicuous alley in Berlin, about two blocks from Friedrichstrasse Station. Before him stood an ordinary brick wall, some bricks protruding outwards to form an eagle-shaped relief. When he touched the wall, the bricks rippled like water. Skylar smiled, strode across the wall, and saw the German Ministry of Magic hidden in the city's hustle and bustle.

This is a five-story, arrow-shaped building with a sharp silhouette that seems to point straight to the sky, symbolizing the power and order of the Germany Wizarding World. The exterior walls are made of dark gray stone bricks, and a screen taller than three stories hangs on it, projecting the latest news from the Germany wizarding world in the form of film, exuding a unique atmosphere that combines the classical and the modern.

Skylar stepped into the courtyard, where the surrounding air seemed to shield him from the outside noise, leaving only the soft sound of the wind and birdsong. He walked up the obsidian steps to the entrance gate, where the guards wore dark green robes and had eyes as sharp as hawks.

After explaining his purpose to the guards and revealing his special status as the future son-in-law of the Hohenheim Family, the guards naturally dared not stop him.

Upon entering the Ministry of Magic's main hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the coat of arms of the German Ministry of Magic, hanging high above—a diamond-shaped emblem with a simplified, abstract eagle as its main element, set against a background of gold and gray, symbolizing power.

Welcome to the Ministry of Magic.

Behind the counter at the entrance, a beautiful young witch greeted Skylar politely.

Skylar used the VIP lane and didn't need to queue.

This was thanks to the special status he obtained from the Hohenheim Family.

Skylar gave his name and explained his purpose to the witch at the counter in German, and the witch quickly took care of it for him.

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Hohenheim has already informed us that you will be using our International Floo Network today to access the Danish Ministry of Magic, is that right?" the witch said.

"Yes."

"Alright, please follow me." The witch led Skylar out of the door on the right side of the Ministry of Magic's main hall and into a circular room with many fireplaces. The fireplaces were marked with the names of various countries, and a timetable stood next to them. An employee was cleaning the ashes with something that looked like a vacuum cleaner.

Skylar thought to himself, "It seems that the Germany have a more open-minded attitude towards embracing technology than the conservative Britain."

"Ms. Edith, I've brought the person."

The young witch spoke to the blonde, curly-haired witch, who was about 60 years old, sitting at the central counter in the round office.

"The Floo Network arrangements for our journey to Denmark are complete. Please follow me," Edith said in English, which was remarkably fluent. No wonder she worked for the International Floo Network; she must be proficient in multiple languages.

Schelling had a very good impression of the German Ministry of Magic, finding satisfaction in everything from the overall design and technological level of the buildings to the service attitude, language skills, and efficiency of the staff.

With such a government leading the people, how could the country not develop?

It seems that when Grindelwald wreaked havoc on the German Ministry of Magic, although he severely damaged the German Ministry of Magic, he also forced all those incompetent officials to step down, allowing the ministry to rebuild and establish a new order within a few decades.

As the green flames rose in the fireplace, Skylar stepped into them, called out "Danish Ministry of Magic," glanced one last time at the waiting room floor covered in ashes, and was then engulfed in the fireplace by the green flames.

The Danish Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic in this small country is unremarkable; there's not much to say about it.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

First, register Skylar's wand.

Then, Skylar explained his purpose to the staff. He had come to meet with the examiner in charge of Apparition instruction at the Danish Ministry of Magic.

Skylar wanted to learn Apparition!

Learning to Apparition has age restrictions and requires passing an exam in most countries, such as Great Britain, primarily for safety and responsibility reasons.

Apparition is a highly difficult teleportation spell. A slight mistake can lead to a "Splinching" accident—a part of the body fails to teleport with the spell, causing serious injury or even death. Because this spell demands extremely high concentration and magical control, only wizards of a certain age and with sufficient magical experience can ensure a high success rate in casting it.

Furthermore, Apparition involves complex spatial positioning knowledge, and the slightest carelessness could lead to dangerous locations or even compromise the secrecy of the Muggle world.

However, Denmark had already abolished the age limit for learning and using Apparition in 1926. Skylar actually knew this before he traveled through time, because it was reported in a New York Ghost Daily that appeared in the first Fantastic Beasts movie.

Of course, after his time travel, Skylar specifically asked someone to verify it once more. This is why Skylar had to travel all the way here to learn Apparition and take the exam.

The enemy's identity has been revealed, and a major battle is imminent. Skylar can no longer wait until he is 17 (two more years) to learn and master this skill.

Skylar needed to learn Apparition as soon as possible for two reasons:

First, in the past, wherever he went, he was always accompanied by House Elf for Apparition. But now, his six House Elf all have their own missions and can't spare any extra time, and Skylar doesn't want to delay their missions for his Apparition.

Secondly, Apparition actually has high practical value. Being able to use Apparition skillfully in battle is a great help to wizards, so they don't have to rely solely on clumsy dodging. In combination with this spell, one can gain the ability to move to any position on the battlefield. If used properly, it can also be used to develop many unexpected tactics.

Skylar currently doesn't know Apparition, so if his opponent Apparition, he'll be at a huge disadvantage. Imagine all your attacks being dodged by the enemy using Apparition, while they can appear anywhere, anywhere, especially in your blind spots, and then deliver a fatal blow from behind.

As for why he didn't learn on his own?

Apparition extremely dangerous, and the learning process must be supervised and guided by a professional Apparition examiner. If an accident occurs, the wizard who fails to Apparition and whose body is torn apart will not die immediately under the influence of magic.

After a failed Apparition attempt, there is a protective period, enough time for someone nearby to provide healing. If no other wizard is present, or if that wizard doesn't know how to use a counter-curse, then death is inevitable. Professional Apparition proctors exist precisely for this reason.

Another purpose of the proctors is to determine whether candidates can safely perform Apparition without supervision. Only those who meet this requirement will receive a certificate for passing the exam.

In other words, Skylar needs to obtain this certificate to ensure that he can truly use Apparition independently.
