Chapter 735: That's against the law
"How to get out of the bad environment—"
Amosta's ass left the edge of the table, and he paced back and forth in front of the students,
"So can anyone tell me what ways we can get from one place to another in an instant?"
The students in the PE class were probably the most motivated, with almost eighty percent of the students immediately raising their hands, and Amosta picked Draco at the front.
"Come, Mr. Malfoy—"
"Apparitions, portkeys, if fireplaces are the only ones that are common, Professor Blaine-" Draco said, standing up.
"Good, Slytherin five--"
Amosta pressed his hand and motioned for Draco to sit down, then looked at the students below,
"Is there anything you don't understand about the concepts of the ways that Mr. Malfoy just mentioned?"
The youngest of the students who appeared here was Astoria Greengrass, however, Astoria was born in a pure-blood family and had a wealth of magical knowledge, while the other students, the youngest was also in the third grade, so these basic concepts would not be unaware.
Harry nodded his head to show that he understood. The first person to take his apparition with him was Professor Bryan in front of him, the fireplace he had experienced at Ron's house, and the portkey had been experienced last summer when he went to the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys and Hermione.
"Then let's briefly discuss the above three ways to get out quickly, so--"
Amosta smiled and asked again,
"If you were to pick and choose, what would you rule out first?"
This time, fewer students raised their hands, but Hermione was still the fastest batch.
"Miss Granger, tell me what you think—"
Hermione stood up, she took a breath and talked eloquently,
"I'm going to rule out fireplaces, Professor Blaine, because if you want to use a fireplace you need one first, and besides, if the fireplace isn't connected to the Floo network, it won't work, and if we're in a dangerous environment, I don't think we'll have time to apply to the Ministry of Magic!"
Many of the students nodded approvingly, but Amosta did not approve, just smiling and saying,
"And secondly, Miss Granger, which of the remaining two would you rule out?"
"Portkey, Professor Blaine"
Hermione immediately said,
"According to the law enacted by the Department of Magical Communications, the use of the portkey also requires authorization from the Ministry of Magic, which means that there is also not enough time to apply for authorization."
"Sit down, Miss Granger—" Amosta said with a grin.
"He forgot to give Gryffindor extra points--"
George Weasley carefully smacked Hermione's back, but Hermione just quickly turned her head and glared at George.
"Next, I don't want you to spread it out there, you know? If the word gets out and the Ministry of Magic finds me, I won't admit it--"
Amosta's sudden words made the young wizards' faces appear briefly stunned, but after that, their eyes lit up with excitement.
"First of all, I would like to ask, what is the core of our discussion now?" Amosta asked.
"Run!"
The question caused a commotion, and in the midst of the confusion, Hufflepuff's Fenrieri's voice came to the fore and drew echo from the crowd.
"Very good--"
Amosta agreed with the answer, and then, smiling, he looked at Hermione, whose brows were furrowed, as if he had noticed,
"So, who is more important, escape or the law?"
The noisy classroom fell silent for a moment, and many of the students' brows furrowed as Hermione's, a question that seemed easy to answer, but, on reflection, it wasn't that simple.
"Well, we're not here to discuss right and wrong, let me ask a simple question—"
Amosta began to pace again,
"Suppose you're hunting down an evil dark wizard, and when you actually run into him, you find out you're no match for him, in that case, would you choose to break the law and secure your life?"
The answers were inconsistent, and the vast majority of people would choose to save their lives in this situation, but there were also those who muttered something like 'I don't want to die or go to Azkaban'.
Amosta ignored the little wizards' comments, and went on to say,
"Let me talk about my thoughts on the three ways of escape, guys, first of all, Apparition-"
Amosta stared at the students, his expression slightly serious,
"This is an extremely convenient way to escape yourself, it will not be supervised by the Ministry of Magic, it is generally impossible to track, only some wizards with extremely profound magical attainments can catch your trajectory through some clues, but this kind of wizard is rare and does not think about it.
When you're in your sixth year, the Ministry of Magic will send someone to Hogwarts to teach you the ropes of this skill, and by then, I want you all to master it--"
There was a pause in his tone,
"Let's talk about the disadvantages of phantom shifting.
First, the apparition of the illusion shift over long distances consumes a huge amount of mana and energy, which cannot be ignored. Second, and most crucially, apparition shifting is very susceptible to interference, and a simple anti-illusion spell can cause a large area of spatial information to be enclosed and the destination unmarkable. Not even I or Headmaster Dumbledore could force the apparition in such a situation, unless, we weren't going to kill us--"
The windows chattered and clanged in the cold wind, but none of the students in the room were distracted, and they listened intently.
"--The portkey, it has a magic in its crafting, it marks the space differently than the apparition shifter, so the anti-illusion spell doesn't work on it, it's flexible and easy to use, and of course, as Miss Granger said, it's against the law to make a portkey without permission—"
Draco sneered softly, his eyes flashing thoughtfully.
"And the fireplace. Miss Granger is right, you have to have one near you to use it."
Amosta's eyes flickered, and before everyone could react, he had already pulled out his wand and threw out a spell that hit the desk, and under the shroud of the distorted space, the desk instantly turned into a wall inlaid with a plain fireplace, and after a bang, the fireplace burst into flames.
Hermione was a little dumbfounded as she looked at the fireplace that popped out of nowhere.
"--Luckily, finding a fireplace isn't a complicated task, and the trouble is that it's a problem to connect to the Floo network, but if you've left a fireplace in a safe place and marked it for smuggling, provided of course, it's not in a place like Hogwarts that is constantly monitored by the Department of Magical Traffic--"
Neville writhed his ass uneasily, he wished someone would realize that Professor Blaine's words might not only send them to Azkaban, but he himself might not be spared, but Neville peeked to the left and right and saw that everyone was listening intently to Professor Blaine's lecture, even Hermione, and of course, her brow was furrowed.
"Professor Blaine!"
Immediately after Amosta's words were finished, Draco raised his hand,
"We don't know"
Draco said with an excited expression in a fluttering tone,
"We didn't know how to make a door key or mark a fireplace to carry out. Smuggling, will you tell us? ”
"What are you thinking, Mr. Malfoy—"
Amosta rolled his eyes and said with an angry expression,
"How can I teach students this, it's against the law!"
