Chapter 295 Start studying
"Tyler?"
When Andrew knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office, the professor had a shocked expression.
Fortunately, the professor is always serious and does not relax too much even during the holidays.
“Today is your day off, right?”
"Probably, but I ran into some trouble and had to go back to school to get help."
Andrew directly explained his purpose - there was no need to hide it, he really needed Legilimency learning methods now.
"Occlumency..."
The professor hesitated, "There is indeed a need, and there is indeed no suitable professor in the castle...We can't let Albus teach you."
Andrew could see that the professor really had this plan, but gave up because of some things - it shouldn't be that Dumbledore was slacking off and couldn't spare enough time for class.
However, I'm afraid the principal doesn't have much time to be lazy. Since last semester, Andrew has occasionally seen it when he went to the principal's office to deliver documents. Dumbledore had piles of information in front of him. It didn't look like he was being lazy in any case. .
Damn it, it can’t really be because of Dumbledore’s diligence, right?
Oh my god, this legend can’t be true, can it?
While Andrew was thinking wildly, Professor McGonagall finally made up his mind, "I will go to the library and bring you the corresponding books. You can... well, write the admission notice in the office."
Professor, if it were someone else, shouldn’t it be a wait?
Technically I'm on vacation!
But he habitually came to his desk and began to copy the admission notice according to the format - it seems that the admission letter has not yet given out the final list, and the header of the letter is empty.
But the problem is not big - simply copy it and use the automatic copying quill to make a template. Then when the admission book confirms the list and the professors have declared the textbooks, you can stuff it into the ticket and start Sent letters to students.
There are only a limited number of Muggle-born wizards every year, and it is not his turn to lead them.
In the middle of his work, the professor returned with the two books he needed from the restricted book area. "Mrs. Pince went on vacation. It will be a lot more troublesome to pick up the books now. If you come later, When I come back, I’m on vacation and I can only look for Albus.”
He didn't notice this last summer vacation - did the two principals take turns?
"As for rest, I asked them to prepare a hammock when we purchased supplies this year. If you don't want to go back to the lounge, you can find a place to sleep."
Professor McGonagall looked serious. "Okay, after finishing these letters, you can take a rest. The holidays should be like holidays. I have to hand over to Albus. Next, the office..."
The professor hesitated, "You It’s better not to come, Albus will get documents from time to time, you’d better hide in the principal’s office and study, and we’ll start working again when I come back from vacation.”
Andrew was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered his principal. It was a horrific operation last year.
"I will pay attention to the vacation, professor."
"Well, that's good. By the way, if you want Legilimency, you should go to the Forbidden Forest to find rabbits first. The animals are simpler and the emotions are easier. Being sensed, even if it fails, it will not have much impact. Also remember to go to the greenhouse to ask for some nourishing potion, there is always someone on duty there."
The professor warned carefully, making sure Andrew remembered. Then let him go.

“Finally, I got it...”
Holding a book that definitely belonged to the forbidden book area, Andrew nodded and began to study this memory manipulation spell.
[The common element of magic, emotion. 】
【Many wizards do not agree with this and feel that emotional casting is too close to black magic, because every dark wizard is full of thoughts of crazy destruction, and the more powerful black magic is, the more necessary it is. These crazy negative emotions. 】【But there is no doubt that this is one-sided. The most classic and least likely to be used by a dark wizard, the Patronus Charm also requires emotions, and it is a positive emotion that no one can deny. 】
[Among the other ancient magics, there are many magics that use positive emotions such as joy, love, and happiness. Even simple modern spells require some emotions. Assistance, such as firm confidence and so on. 】
[And Legilimency is undoubtedly the best among magic spells...]
...
'No wonder the books in the forbidden book area are enlarged when they come up... Emotional casting, no wonder If you pay attention, you will emerge as an extreme person. '
Andrew originally thought that this was a brief introduction to the magic spell of Legilimency, but obviously the author did not intend to do that. He directly made a bunch of analyzes based on the spell-casting element of emotion, and Legilimency's Some are just a few of them.
‘It’s not like writing Legilimency, it’s just for the concept of emotional magic. ’
But he had to admit that it was very effective - and also very consistent with his perception.
When the transformation spell can touch the rules, he can already experience a little influence of emotions on the rules. Although it is not as powerful as the spell itself, it is already considerable.
With this experience, he got started with Legilimency very quickly.
Although there are still big flaws in the spell reciting and waving the wand, which require a lot of adjustments, even so, he can already feel a little bit of the emotional problems of the person he is casting the spell on.
‘I’m just afraid of this…’
Andrew looked at the rabbit caught in front of him and was speechless for a while - how to change the mood of the caught rabbit and then use Legilimency to perceive it?
Even giving it to a female rabbit wouldn't work. He tried it, and both were scared.
‘Be open-minded, at least it’s a good start. If it doesn’t work, just use the emotion of fear to perceive and remember. ’
On the fifth day after Professor McGonagall left school, he made such a decision.
Then, on the seventh day after the professor left, there was no progress at all except that the spellcasting method was more perfect.
'Forget it, I'm afraid the rabbit will die. Let's try the chicken raised by Hagrid. Although it is different from what the professor recommended, the damage is probably about the same. Moreover, the chicken is very familiar with people, so he shouldn't be afraid anymore. . ’
For safety reasons, this time he took the potion in advance.
Then point it at the poor cock and pull out the wand.
"Long time no see, classmate Taylor," a familiar voice came from behind, "Is this Legilimency? There seems to be something wrong with the way you cast the spell."
He turned his head and saw A person often seen at Chocolate Frog.
"Ah, long time no see, Professor Dumbledore."
"It looks like you need a little help," Dumbledore smiled, "I'm very happy to provide guidance, just over there in my office..."< br>
"I'll be on duty in the afternoon, principal."
Andrew was extremely cheerful - there was no doubt that he couldn't run away. Fortunately, his German level should have met the requirements, so it was not a big problem.
"Well, let's talk about the pronunciation of the curse first. You read it too fast..."
