Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 202: Occlumency
Before returning to the dormitory, Albert went to the library to see what was going on there. After all, this matter was caused by oneself, so naturally, we should pay attention to the follow-up development.
Before passing the library, he noticed several students around him looking into the library, seemingly curious about what was going on inside.
"What's the matter?" Albert walked over and asked a student who was watching.
"Unclear."
"Mrs. Pince is counting the books in the forbidden area." A girl gossips, "I heard that several books were taken from the forbidden area."
"The books in the forbidden area are all very dangerous books." Someone next to him approached and joined the topic.
Albert didn't stay and continued to join in the fun. It had nothing to do with him. All the books he "borrowed" from the forbidden area were returned.
Back in the dormitory, Albert took ten Galleons directly from the middle of the suitcase and put them into the money bag created by Transfiguration.
If ten Galleons can teach Albert to Occlumency, it's well worth the money.
Until he mastered Occlumency, it was impossible for Albert to reveal the crown to Dumbledore.
When Albert arrived in classroom 17, which was used by the Transfiguration Club, she found that Isobel had arrived early, sitting in her armchair and flipping through the latest issue of Transfiguration Today.
"You came quite on time." The girl said without looking up.
"Observing time is a virtue." Albert took out a purse from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Isobel. "The tuition fee has been agreed, I think we can start."
Isobel closed the magazine, looked up at the purse handed in front of him, reached out to take it, put it in his pocket, nodded and said, "Let's start!"
"Aren't you going to check it?" Albert reminded with a half-smile, "Maybe it's not Galleon, but Nat."
Isobel's expression froze, looked up at Albert, and then, under the gaze of the other party, took out a purse and took out a... Nat.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Isobel realizes that she has been molested by the other party, and what a bad character!
"Sorry, I was just joking." Albert had an undisguised smile on his face, he just saw a moment of astonishment on Isobel's face.
Speaking, Albert took out another purse from his pocket and handed it to Isobel. As for the ten nut just now, he has no plans to return it at all.
After the latter took it, he opened his eyes and glanced at the Galleon inside. This time it was the real Galleon.
"I think you've read the Advanced Occlumency Guide." Isobel put the purse in his pocket and said meaningfully, "I think you should have been to the library last night. In the forbidden book area, I secretly borrowed that book!"
Isobel was quick to point out that Albert was the culprit in last night's riot.
"No, I haven't had time to borrow the Advanced Occlumency Guide from the library to read." Albert also flatly denied this.
"Well, Occlumency is actually a kind of magic that can prevent the mind from being invaded and affected by magic. Generally, wizards who are good at using Occlumency are also good at Legilimency." Isobel didn't care about Ai at all. Burt denied the incident, pulled two armchairs in and let Albert sit opposite him, only three feet apart, Albert could even feel Isobel's heartbeat and breathing.
He looked openly at the Ravenclaw genius in front of him. This is a very beautiful red-haired girl, but her temperament is a bit cold, or arrogant.
However, geniuses are like this, and Albert is not incomprehensible.
"...Some wizards are extremely good at Legilimency." Noticing Albert's gaze, Isobel raised his eyebrows and continued, "They can usually easily tell if you're lying, St. Professor Napp is the best example, he can always see if someone is lying to him... Only a wizard who is good at Occlumency can seal up the feeling and memory that contradict the lie, and lie in front of a clever cameraman without being discovered."
"Obviously, you're not a very good mind photographer, are you?" Albert blinked and made another innocuous joke.
"Yeah, I'm not a very good Legilimency." Isobel flatly admitted, and continued: "One thing you have to know, eye contact is often critical to Legilimency, so... watch my eyes."
Albert suddenly felt a bad feeling.
"It seems that you don't know everything about Legilimency and Occlumency." Isobel said after a moment of silence.
"You just used it right!" Albert suddenly said.
"Yes." Isobel said: "I just used Legilimency to open a window in your eyes, and extract the feelings and memories I need from the brain inside. Ordinary wizards' heads are opposite to the camera. As a teacher, there is no defense. Of course, it is not easy to learn it.”
"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Albert looked away, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Even if you compliment me, it's useless." Isobel said subconsciously: "Also, whether I will age prematurely or not has nothing to do with you."
"Sure enough, it was directly seen through." Albert looked at Isobel in surprise and continued, "It seems that your Legilimency is not as bad as you said!"
"What a nasty guy, put away your boring temptation." Isobel's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, she had realized that Albert's words just now were to test her.
No matter which woman she is, she values her appearance very much, and the guy in front of her clearly knows this, and is using this to test her level of Legilimency.
"Okay, I'm going to enter your brain and see your resistance." Isobel raised her wand and reminded: "You need to get rid of distractions, throw away all emotions, and try to prevent me from invading your brain. ."
"I see." Albert muttered.
"Prepare, three, two, one, Legilimency!" Isobel shot, although Albert had prepared in advance, the moment he was focused by the spell, was still a bit unpredictable:
The classroom shook and disappeared before Albert's eyes, and pictures flashed through his mind like a movie.
At the age of six, Albert was riding a new bicycle from his parents in the park.
At the age of eight, Albert was sitting on the sofa, telling his sister fairy tales..."
Albert experienced this feeling with interest, knowing that Isobel was flipping through his memories.
After a while, Albert began to try to prevent her from invading his own brain, and began to consciously recall the economics and mathematics books he had read, preparing to use these memories to contain each other, and gradually deepen that kind of , and the feeling of flipping through your memory is squeezed out of your brain.
"You succeeded." Isobel's tone was a little amazed, and she never thought that Albert had successfully resisted her Legilimency.
In particular, she also noticed that when she was squeezing her thoughts out, she saw Albert subconsciously create a maze to block her own peeps on his brain.
"Well, this feeling...it feels weird and not good!" Albert's breath was a little short, and he found himself back in the Transfiguration Club classroom.
"Let me rest." Albert took a piece of chocolate from his pocket, took a bite, and asked subconsciously, "Do you want it?"
Isobel glanced at the bitten chocolate, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still did not reject Albert's kindness, took the chocolate, and folded the back of the piece that wasn't bitten.
"You did a great job, much better than my first attempt." Isobel continued, "Now, you need to focus and use your brain to resist my intrusion."
After all, after taking someone else's Galleon, Isobel naturally still needs to do it well.
"I know what to do!" Albert said casually. He began to try to check the skill panel, but unfortunately Occlumency did not appear.
Looks like it's going to take a few more tries.
Although it was expected, it was still quite depressing. Even though Albert didn't care about being seen some childhood events, he was still a little upset.
"Get rid of distracting thoughts, focus your thoughts, and let go of all emotions." Isobel reminded, "I'm going to start!"
"Wait!" Albert suddenly raised his hand to stop the opponent from casting the spell.
"Anything else?" Isobel's arm paused and looked at Albert suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to do.
"On a cushion." Albert removed the armchair, placed a cushion on the rug, and sat cross-legged on the cushion to relax and try to get himself into a meditative state.
"It's time to start!"
"Three, two, one, Legilimency!" Isobel cast the spell again.
At the age of nine, Albert was in the kitchen helping his family make Nia's birthday cake...
At this moment, he is emptying his brain as much as possible, focusing all his attention on Isobel's thinking, and the pictures in his mind gradually disappear.
Albert suddenly opened his eyes and saw a moment of astonishment on Isobel's face.
Yes, even Isobel never thought that Albert could master Occlumency so quickly ~IndoMTL.com~ and defend against his own intrusion.
"You succeeded!" said Isobel suddenly, "I have nothing left to teach you."
Speaking, she was about to get up and leave, but Albert reached out and grabbed Isobel's arm, because Albert turned over the panel skills again just now, but Occlumency still didn't appear.
“This is not the way to steal money.” Albert looked at Isobel helplessly, “I feel that I have not successfully mastered Occlumency. Let’s talk about Occlumency and Legilimency. I am so sincere about the things I pay attention to, you should also show a little sincerity."
"Okay!" Isobel thought about it and agreed, not knowing whether he realized that he was too pitiful, or for other reasons, he began to explain to Albert about her own thoughts on Occlumency and Legilimency use and understanding.
The exchange between the two about Occlumency lasted about half an hour.
Isobel is indeed a genius. Even if he has just been exposed to Occlumency, he still has his own unique insights into this magic.
After listening to Isobel's explanation, and after several more attempts, Albert finally found that Occlumency appeared on his skill panel.
Looking at the Occlumency on the skill panel, Albert could not help secretly relieved.
Upgrading Occlumency to Level 2, Albert closed his eyes to feel the changes brought about by the skill upgrade. When Albert opened his eyes again, his eyes became a little hollow.
Isobel, who noticed Albert's change, could not help frowning slightly.
"I think the deal between us is done!" Isobel said. When she got up and was about to leave, Albert reached out and held her again.
