Chapter 294 Vacation is over
‘Occlumency…’
Andrew raised his head from the table and moved his body.
This was the first time he came into contact with this type of magic, and he found it really interesting - a protective spell that required no spells, no wands, no spell-casting rituals, and no spell-casting gestures.
That alone makes it worth exploring.
It hardly resembles magic, but it is an excellent helper against Legilimency. When a wizard's Occlumency is good enough, it can even resist the memory reading of those born Legilimency masters.
This is described in the information obtained by Andrew. Although he has never seen the so-called natural telepathizer, he is very clear about how outrageous the Disguise Magus in the field of transfiguration is.
If the two can be replaced, then Legilimency will be so terrifying that they can read other people's thoughts without casting spells, as simple as breathing...
'So it's even more important I’ve learned it. Although I haven’t heard the relevant introduction, reading it all is more difficult than just the Astronomy Tower...'
He thought so while flipping through the information.
According to the description of the information - the so-called Occlumency, the basis for getting started is the art of emotional control.
Because Legilimency relies on absorbing emotional fluctuations to read corresponding memories - even a natural Legilimency can only read more information when the other person's mood fluctuates, let alone imitating it. Here comes Legilimency.
So, the corresponding most basic Occlumency technique is to clear the emotions and thoughts in the brain, so that the other party can only feel that your head is empty and you can’t get anything.
The ultimate goal of Occlumency is even more outrageous. By suppressing some emotions and memories, the revealed situation will not be exposed, thereby achieving the so-called lie in front of the other party.
According to the speed pass that Andrew saw, Professor Snape has achieved the ultimate state of Occlumency - and no matter how you extrapolate, this information is uncompromising.
But this information was meaningless - he could not get such help from Professor Snape, who was a Ravenclaw and not a Slytherin.
Moreover, the traditional training method is not suitable for him - it requires the cooperation of a Legilimency master, who has to read the memories in his mind many times to make him adapt to Legilimency. Thoughts, thereby mobilizing the potential of Occlumency little by little, and finally mastered it.
But let’s not talk about the most unspeakable speed pass, nor the matter of the astronomical tower. Just the task of the office, that is, it must not be disclosed.
Fortunately, there is an evil way of learning - starting from Legilimency.
In other words, it is called evil learning. In fact, most people who master Occlumency learn through this channel, because not many wizards who have access to this will hand over their memories to others many times.
After a long illness, he became a good doctor, and he became more familiar with Legilimency and mastering memories through emotions, so he naturally found ways to protect himself.
But this kind of learning also has disadvantages, because if you are contaminated with more emotions, you will inevitably be indifferent to your emotions, resulting in learning progress that is much slower than the former.
Anyway, Andrew doesn't care - compared to the memory being read, the cost is very small. Moreover, Professor Snape probably relied on this to practice. It's hard to curse people, saying that he is extremely indifferent. , Andrew wouldn’t believe it even to death.
But here comes the problem, Legilimency is in the restricted book area, and the information he obtained does not have this thing.
'Fortunately, there is enough basic information, just read it, and isn't there a way to combine the two, extract the memory, and then let people practice... In that case, the Sorting Hat would also be a good choice. A good teacher. ’
As for the Master of Legilimency, even the entire Hogwarts community cannot keep up with this magical item that has been used many times and for many years...
'Forget it, if the speedrun is exposed, That would be a lot of fun...'
Anyway, he is not worried at all about whether he can learn this kind of thing - learning magic like Occlumency, the professor will agree after thinking about it.
‘I just have to return to school early, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time. Damn it, do I have to return to school early after a twenty-day vacation? ’
After thinking about it, Andrew nodded helplessly—no doubt, yes.
Fortunately, he had already laid a solid foundation in German and was able to do business when he returned home. He simply gave up on the study task and started playing seriously with the group of children who were on summer vacation. "Is it only a ten-day holiday? Couldn't you have said to stay for an extra week in the first place?"
"Sorry, Mrs. Camille," Andrew lowered his head. This time he was really more willful, "I'm a little greedy."
"Studying is important, don't be so anxious. You saw it a few days ago, and your plans were disrupted, right?"
Mrs. Camille sighed. His tone was, "If you two are even, you don't have to worry so much. Go ahead and remember not to go astray or be a bad learner."
"I will, Mrs. Camille."
Andrew promised seriously, then pulled the box and left.
In order to prevent exposure, he continued to buy a train ticket, then did not take the train, found a nearby fireplace, and flew directly to Hogsmeade.
When he knocked on the door, Hagrid's face was a little twisted.
“Ten days, classmate Andrew, you only have ten days off!”
Hagrid originally planned to say something, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and shut his mouth.
"It's just that I have other plans. Hagrid, please help me open the door during the holidays."
"As long as I have something to do, I'll say, Hogwarts' The professors don’t look so busy”
? ? ?
Andrew's mind started spinning rapidly.
He didn't understand the meaning of Hagrid's complaints for a while - he was a student, Hagrid was a gamekeeper, what did he have to do with the professor?
Wait, it seems to be related, he almost forgot!
Hagrid seems to have become a professor, taking the class of the old professor!
Professor Kettleburn's retirement banquet was organized by him, but he was unable to attend because of exams, which was a pity.
So, the new Care of Magical Creatures professor is Hagrid?
Yes, that’s right!
But theoretically he should not know this information - so he put away his congratulations.
"Professors are busier than expected. The homework alone is difficult enough, not to mention there are a lot of problematic students and final assessments. There are many things that must be prepared for class."
“Is it so difficult?”
“Of course,” Andrew looked like I didn’t know anything, “That’s not ordinary tiredness.”
The castle is almost in front of him - his recognition of the professors' hard work has also been conveyed, so that's it, no matter what, let's build goodwill in front of the professors who may hear it.
"See you later, Hagrid. I have to report to the professor first."
"Well," Hagrid opened his big hands with a complicated expression. Said goodbye.
