Chapter 300 Occlumency
“It’s already working, but the next step is stuck.”
Andrew sighed.
Memory is such a precious thing that no one wants to show it in front of others. A short period is fine. For example, a spell like Legilimency that is not sure what memory will be read, even if you give money. Someone to train with.
Unless it's a lot of money - but that's another matter, and the other party will definitely regret or even resent it later. This is completely contrary to the original intention of hiring with money.
‘We can only use rabbits, but there are too few such feedbacks. ’
As for using and practicing indiscriminately - that is really a direct train to Azkaban.
But the problem is not big. The theory is not 100% but more than 90%. If I lay the groundwork, I will get started with Occlumency directly, so Andrew started his routine running again the next morning.
"Good morning, Andrew."
Hagrid waved his arms from all the way.
"Good morning, Hagrid," Andrew paused, "Professor McGonagall is coming back today. Will you continue to work part-time as a gamekeeper after taking up your teaching position?"
"Of course," Hagrid said. He said proudly, while placing the basin on his hand next to his teeth, "This is Dumbledore's trust!"
"There is no doubt, ah, by the way, Hagrid, you know what has enough A magical creature that would not attack due to Legilimency?"
He looked at Yaya wagging its tail happily at Hagrid's feet, and suddenly thought of a substitute.
"House Elf?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. Although they should be happy to do so, looking through their memories is too much like being tortured." Andrew shook his head. "Please, bring me some creature that I won't feel guilty about."
Legilimency Nian is used to trigger and amplify emotions to browse memories. For the person being cast, that kind of flipping is simply torture. This is clearly shown in the data.
"Then there is no such thing. How can there be such a magical creature that is intelligent but not angry at Legilimency?"
Hagrid shook his head, "This is simply unreasonable. Wisdom, anger, and counterattack, they almost complement each other..."
Suddenly, Hagrid blinked, "Yes, I thought about it, what if the other party is angry but unable to fight back? And there will definitely be no chance of it? Feeling guilty, they are all scoundrels!”
"Ah?"
"Don't worry, I'll get it in the afternoon."
Hagrid patted his chest - listening to the sound like a war drum, Andrew fully realized Hagrid's determination.
But Andrew was a little uneasy. Hagrid's so-called inability to fight back was really unclear. He could not determine the opponent's true combat effectiveness. After all, Hagrid's evaluation standards seemed really uneasy.

"Welcome back, Professor."
At noon, Professor McGonagall returned to school after her short vacation and sighed at the pile of documents she had processed on her desk.
"A satisfying holiday. Although seeing these things makes me not very happy, but fortunately Albus can work seriously next."
The professor sighed helplessly, "Your departure request has been approved. In three days, we will leave for Armstrong."
"I am ready, Professor."
"Well, let's take a good rest for two days... It won't work. There isn't much rest time. How is your Legilimency practice going?"
Professor McGonagall put the box away, "Albus should at least teach If the progress is good, we can try to get you started in Occlumency in these two days."
"Isn't this too fast?" "Well, it's a bit rushed, but Occlumency. It will be very useful to you." Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, "I don't agree with using house elves to practice, so we can only practice sparring. I will prepare a pensieve to protect the memory."
< br>
Shall I fight Professor McGonagall?
Oh my god, I really want to take a one-day trip to the Astronomy Tower this time!
Pensieve to protect memory - sounds good, but can the memory he wants to protect be exhausted in a short time?
Where are you using Legilimency to give yourself a full half hour of spinning?
That would reveal too much - his Legilimency is only theoretical and cannot extract key memories. Once he is proficient, he can quickly extract the memory, but how can he increase his proficiency without practice?
“Hagrid said he could get a suitable opponent.”
Fortunately, Andrew thought of Hagrid's help - it seems that running in the morning is indeed good for the body.
"Hagrid?"
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, "Magical creatures?"
"Yes, Professor."
"That way Better," Professor McGonagall nodded - to be honest, it was very troublesome for her to organize and hide the memories. After all, in theory, Andrew's did have the possibility of quickly successfully rebounding the spell or even suppressing the spell, and it was not low.
"Then let's wait for Hagrid's answer."
——
In the afternoon, Andrew finally figured out what Hagrid's answer was-a small group of goblins.
"They are the best training partners. They have bad personalities, limited attack methods, and they are smart enough to read memories."
Hagrid nodded and expressed his plans. Quite satisfying.
Hogwarts is well protected and these guys can't get in, but when the old professor caused a bunch of goblins to escape, he had a deep memory of the capture work.
‘He is actually a guy who is not very aggressive. I don’t seem to know enough about Hagrid. '
Andrew nodded and greatly praised the answer Hagrid provided - although he didn't understand why this guy was locked up with such a thick magic chain like a criminal, but it was indeed very safe.
——
‘It’s a lot better...Although the efficiency is still a lot worse, it’s enough. After all, there are the skills provided by the Sorting Hat...’
'Tracking, concealment, reproduction, and even moving from three cunning rabbit holes...'
He cast spells again and again, and his proficiency in Legilimency began to increase rapidly.
He also gradually mastered the goblin's hiding rules and living habits - but there was a sequelae.
Probably because he has watched too much from the underground perspective, he always feels that things are too bright when he sees things...
Under the exchange of emotions such as fear, joy, elation, and showing off provided by these goblins, He finally found the power to mobilize emotions steadily.
Legilimency became so easy that he could even look through the memories hidden in the minds of these goblins by breaking through their emotions - such as where treasures were hidden (mostly food or clothes...), or how to deal with certain other animals. What does the goblin love...
After he confirmed that he could trigger it stably, that strange feeling naturally emerged - he could now counterattack the Legilimency of the others.
You can even invade the other party's emotions through the reverse output of emotions and see the memories that the other party is trying to hide.
‘Occlumency, done. ’
He put down his wand and nodded.
