Snip of previous posts about apparation into the MoM

possible within MoM is the atrium, however, in the scene, when Harry 
lifts the prophecy from the stand, the DEs start apparating all 
around him, how's this possible??? Doesn't this indicate that, it's 
possible to apparate inside the DoM, that too in the hall of 
prophecies??

Sue replies:
The actual wording in the book is:
"Black shapes were emerging out of thin air all around them, blocking 
their way left and right;"  OotP US pg. 781

There is no mention of a popping noise and the word emerging seems to 
connotate that they were stepping out from underneath/behind 
something.  It is quite possible they were using one or more 
invisibility cloaks to conceal themselves.  They could have even 
disillusioned themselves so that they blended perfectly with their 
surroundings and could not be seen. 

JKR has made it so very clear that when someone apparates they make a 
sound either loud or soft, depending on the power of the wizard.  The 
only two people we know of who do *not* make a sound are Dumbledore 
and Voldemort, and they are in a class by themselves.

Sue, who wonders after writing this post if Disillusion is what DD 
was talking about when he told Harry he did not need a cloak to 
become invisible.
