apparates

Vanishes, then reappears

Apparates is the third-person singular of apparate, a verb invented for the Harry Potter series meaning to teleport magically—to vanish from one location and instantly appear in another: She apparates directly into the kitchen.

The word has spread beyond Harry Potter fandom to describe any sudden appearance or disappearance: He just apparates whenever free food is involved.
