From Azkaban

This technique was developed by Locke from another aspect of the Traceless Stretch Charm, that is, the technique of using space in the Traceless Stretch Charm to compress and fold objects and then collect them (this is the phenomenon that Newt's suitcase can put animals that are much larger than the suitcase opening).

Combine this technique with the technique of cutting space with the Traceless Stretching Spell to briefly compress the existing space, and then cut and open doors on both sides of the compressed space to achieve the purpose of short-distance instant space travel.

This technique has its own advantages over Apparition. First, it is more uncomfortable without Apparition. Second, it is more flexible and easy to move short distances. It is also silent and can be used continuously at a very fast speed.

Of course, the two most important points are that this technique can not only be used on yourself, but also on all other external objects, and is not affected by any known anti-Apparition spell or barrier.

Locke has never stopped moving forward, and has never stopped studying the various magical knowledge he has mastered.

............................

After coming to the Muggle world, Locke traveled around London for a while. After informing Sirius and Lupin of the new arrangements through the magic network and asking them to prepare for the new wand experiments from now on, Locke used Apparition to move to Manchester according to the address given by Hermione.

"Let me see, No. 444, Lily Street, Stone District." Locke Apparated again and appeared on Lily Street, and found Hermione's house at a glance.

It is said that the magic in the Harry Potter world is outrageous and its potential has not been fully tapped. The Apparition that Locke is using now is the best example.

Everyone knows about Apparition, a space-moving spell that is commonly mastered by wizards but generally dislikes to use.

It is not easy to learn and is extremely practical. However, normal wizards still have some limitations after learning Apparition, and it is very uncomfortable to use it, so wizards don't like to use it.

As for the limitations of using Apparition, there are two main connecting points: distance and target.

Almost all wizards' Apparition cannot exceed too long a distance, which is why many wizards don't like to use Apparition and prefer Portkeys and Floo powder.

The longer the distance of the Apparition, the more difficult and dangerous it is.

But this is not absolute. As I said before, idealistic magic essentially depends on the mind.

The reason for saying this is that when Locke was studying before, he accidentally saw the information that had been recorded in some books.

The information says that in the past, some young wizards accidentally used Apparition to teleport great distances after making mistakes in casting spells.

After being found and brought back, the little wizards did not have any sequelae or problems.

Although the wizards recorded in the books simply regarded this situation as an unrepeatable accident, Locke did not think so.

Reading the information, Locke saw the potential of the magic of Apparition.

As for the goal, to put it simply, the wizard must have sufficient understanding of the place he is about to go, and must accurately imagine the image and location of the destination in his mind.

Locke also holds a different view on this. He believes that this may not be a necessary condition, but a compromise under limited capabilities.

After all, even the current Locke still hasn't seen the end of the road of magic.

With this idea in mind, Locke began to collect relevant documentary materials and read them carefully.

Sure enough, after reading the collected books and materials, Locke's guess was confirmed.

Just like the teleportation distance, there have been many cases in past records where little wizards teleported themselves to places they had never been to for various reasons.

Among these accidents, except for a part of the locations that were really random, the remaining locations where the little wizards were teleported all had inducements.

According to records, these little wizards had various problems with teleportation. Some of them dreamed of a place they had never been to, so they wanted to go there in their dream, and the next moment they were there.

This is very strange. No one knows why the place the little wizard dreamed of is real, and why he can cast spells in dreams.

In addition to dreams, when reading magical biographies, such as books like that one by Lockhart, the little wizard was very yearning for the places described in the books and hoped very much that he could go there once, and then the little wizard went there.

There is no picture here, only the location of text, but the little wizard still arrived there with a small accuracy error.

In addition to these, there are many other inducements such as reading newspapers, letters from friends, magical images, and so on.

If a situation like this was handed over to the Muggle world to deal with, it would probably take a long time to establish a special research department, but this is the wizarding world after all.

It was also through these materials that Locke confirmed his guess that the magic of Apparition focuses on the heart and belief.

Those accidents recorded in the records were accidents for wizards, but not for magic. Since the little wizard was able to achieve such a result because of the accident, it proved that the magic in this world could achieve that.

It is not magic that limits the wizard, but the wizard who limits magic. It is the wizard's heart and beliefs that limit magic.

With this idea in mind, Locke also incorporated Apparition into his daily study schedule.

Similarly, relying on his unique talent, Locke verified his ideas and initially achieved the results he wanted.

Now, when he uses Apparition, he doesn't need to know the destination. He only needs the address, and if this address really exists, he can use Apparition to arrive there. The more accurate the address, the more accurate the arrival location.

That's why Locke could arrive at Lily Street accurately based on the address given by Hermione.

After successfully breaking through the upper limit of Apparition, Locke could clearly feel that he was still far from reaching the limit of Apparition.

"From the existing information and progress..." Locke thought of the record of the little wizard's transfer in his dream, and couldn't help thinking, if the place the little wizard dreamed of did not exist in reality, could he still transfer?

"Hmm~ The magic of this world is always giving people surprises. If I keep exploring, who knows, one day I might be able to teleport across planets or worlds."

With this thought in mind, Locke walked to Hermione's door and knocked on it.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

In the room, Hermione was chatting with her parents and waiting for Locke. After hearing the knock on the door, Hermione's face lit up with joy and she jumped up from the sofa.

"The professor is here!" Hermione ran to the door and pulled it open. As expected, she saw Locke with a smile on his face. "Professor!"

"Merry Christmas, Hermione." Locke gave his blessing with a smile and took out a gift from his pocket and handed it to Hermione. "Here, a Christmas gift." Locke gave a notebook of his own about Transfiguration and magical science.

"Thank you, Professor! Please come in!" Hermione, who was originally a little disappointed because she didn't receive a gift from Locke, took the gift with surprise, hugged it tightly, and happily invited Locke into the house.

"Harry hasn't come yet?" Locke asked as he walked into the room. "No, Harry said she would come later." Hermione closed the door, took Locke's hand with her little hand, and led him into the room.

Volume 1: Chapter 196 Quietly Entering the Village

Locke, who was led into the house by Hermione, soon met Hermione's parents. Just as shown in the movie clips, they were two very open-minded and gentle people.

The two of them expressed a warm welcome to Locke's arrival, and the smile on their faces, like Hermione's, never stopped.

Locke did not state his purpose right away, but first chatted with Hermione's parents about their daily life. He also talked about Hermione's excellent performance in school and expressed his expectations for her.

This situation made the couple smile even more. After Hermione's fanatical recommendation, they also knew the value of Professor Locke.

To receive such praise from such a professor proves that their daughter is really outstanding. For parents, the excellence of their children is undoubtedly a very happy thing.

"Knock knock knock~" Just when Locke was chatting happily with Hermione's parents, the knock on the door rang again.

"Harry!" Hermione heard the knock on the door and went to open it. As soon as the door opened, she saw Harry, and next to Harry was her aunt.

Vernon Dursley did not come. As one of the organizers of tonight's party, he had already arrived at the manor in advance.

As for Snape, Sirius and Lupin, Snape didn't have time to come as he had things to do at Hogwarts. Sirius and Lupin were in the same situation as they had a lot of things to do in the werewolf village.

"Merry Christmas Hermione, here, this is a gift." Harry's gift was also not sent on Christmas. She chose to hand it to Hermione personally, just like Locke.

"Thank you," she happily reached out to take the gift, and motioned sideways for the two to enter the house, "The professor is here too."

Hearing that Locke was there, Harry trotted into the house quickly. Seeing this, Penny had to quicken her pace to catch up.

"Merry Christmas, teacher!"

"Merry Christmas, my Lord"

Harry grinned and Penny greeted Locke respectfully. Because Locke didn't tell her in advance and she thought Hermione's family were also members of the Round Table, she didn't change the way she addressed them.

"grown ups?"

Hearing Petunia's name, Hermione's parents immediately looked at Petunia with puzzled eyes, and even Hermione had a strange expression on her face.

Just when she wanted to ask her best friend what was going on, she found that Harley's expression was very natural, as if it was normal for her to call her aunt just now.

Seeing this situation, the clever Hermione immediately realized something, reached out and pulled the corner of Harry's clothes, and spoke very quietly.

"Harry, what's going on? Why does your aunt call you Professor?"

"This is normal, because my aunt is a member of the Round Table." Harry looked at Locke, and when Locke signaled with his eyes that it was okay, he answered Hermione bluntly.

"Round Table Council? Um...Harley, this Round Table Council..."

When Hermione heard the words coming out of Harry's mouth, she felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

But that's normal. This is the UK, and the word "round table" has a special meaning.

"......", Harry looked at Locke again, and after getting another eye signal from Locke, she carefully explained the situation of the Round Table to Hermione.

Of course, Harry didn't know much, but Hermione could still understand the general situation.

"That's actually the case! Even Professor Snape is like that!"

After listening to Harry's explanation, Hermione was shocked, her eyes widened, and she could no longer suppress her voice.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether to suppress it or not. Given the distance between the two people, three adults can hear clearly even if they speak in a low voice.

Besides, Harry had been making eye contact with Locke just now, and Hermione's parents had stopped talking a long time ago. It can be said that Harry's explanation to Hermione was also meant for Hermione's parents.

This was also what Locke wanted to see. It was just right for someone else to say this. He had been chatting before just to wait for Harry to come.

Empty words are hard to convince people, but it is different if there is proof.

"This... Professor Cazier, so you came here today..."

Hermione's parents are not fools. It has come to this point, and the situation has almost been exposed. How could they not react?

"Yes, just as you think now, I came here to invite you to join the Round Table Council."

At this point, Locke no longer concealed his intention and bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.

.............................

The subsequent conversation was actually not very informative, because like the Dursleys, Hermione's parents loved their daughter very much.

Considering Hermione's future, the strength of the Round Table, and of course, the most important thing is Hermione's identity as a member of the Club. This alone basically determines Hermione's camp.

So after a brief thought, Hermione's parents realized that even if Locke didn't invite them, their family would definitely be a member of the Round Table in the future.

So, after thinking for a while, Hermione's parents decisively accepted Locke's invitation.

As for Hermione, she had no objection to this at all. On the contrary, the Gryffindor attribute buried deep in her body made her very excited.

She felt like she was part of something really cool and amazing, like something out of a movie.

"Then I won't bother you any more. Someone will come to pick you up in the evening. See you at the banquet tonight."

At the door of Hermione's house, Locke said goodbye to Hermione's parents with a smile.

"Goodbye, professor. You too, Harry. See you tonight." Hermione stood behind her parents and waved goodbye to Locke and Harry excitedly.

"See you tonight," Harley acted very calmly, because she had already known about this matter in advance and was already excited.

"Take care," Hermione got into the role of a parent pretty quickly, and now she was imitating Aunt Harry.

................................

After leaving Hermione's house, Locke did not follow Harry and the others, but used Apparition to go to the werewolf village.

To be honest, Locke has never visited this special village that he himself created.

Locke's sudden visit made Sirius and Lupin flustered. They immediately dropped what they were doing and went to greet Locke.

"Why did you think of coming to the werewolf village, sir? Did something happen?"

As soon as he met Lupin, Sirius spoke nervously. Hearing his words, Lupin shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news."

"Don't worry about it for now. The adults have already entered the village. Let's go and greet them." It was a bit helpless as the two of them only found out about this after receiving news from the villagers.

Volume 1: Chapter 197 Lessons

In the front half of the werewolf village, Locke was walking on the snow-covered road, constantly observing the houses on both sides of the road.

In fact, the Werewolf Village is called a village, but in essence it should be called a community, or a neighborhood.

Because this place was built by Locke, he also gave some suggestions on the construction plan.

Sirius and the others naturally could not ignore the suggestions given by Locke, so the completed werewolf village had many future community elements.

Looking at this werewolf village which has a familiar but completely different style, Locke suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia for some reason.

"Normally, we'll have to wait a few decades to see this style, but judging by the longevity of wizards, I'm afraid I'll live longer than the new generation that'll be born a few decades later."

Just as Locke was thinking about how to raise his children in the future, pairs of eyes with gratitude and admiration were looking at him from the buildings on both sides.

Because of the Christmas holiday, the residents of the Werewolf Village basically stayed at home and hardly went out.

So Locke was discovered as soon as he entered the village, and it was natural that there was no one in the werewolf village who didn't know Locke.

"Mom, Professor Cazier!" In a room, a little girl's face turned red with excitement, and she pointed at Locke on the road downstairs outside the window.

"You should call me Master, Master Kazir. Ronnie, you must remember that everything we have today is given by you, so we should always be grateful and respectful to you and follow you forever."

Looking at her child, the woman had a doting smile on her face and warmth and happiness in her eyes.

"I know, Mom," the little girl nodded. She had memorized these words a long time ago. Although she couldn't quite understand them at the moment, it didn't stop her from being excited about seeing Locke.
