Chapter 578: Occlumency
Hermione is becoming more and more like Minerva, becoming so chatty...
The cat that slipped away muttered in his heart, and then wandered around the castle.
Just like last night, Feishi strolled down level by level, planning to inspect the entire territory before going to the kitchen to get some late-night snacks, and then go back to sleep.
He went all the way down, and met Filch and Mrs. Norris on patrol along the way, and harvested a pack of Filch's special dried fish.
After arriving in the basement, Fish originally planned to go directly to the kitchen, but halfway through, he suddenly raised his furry little head, shook his ears, and sniffed the air.
"Meow?"
(=ω≤)
Maomao scratched his chin and looked in the direction of Snape's office in confusion.
Why was Draco visiting Severus so late at night?
There has been a similar situation before. Two years ago, Malfoy learned the Patronus Charm from Professor Snape, and he did it late at night...
Maybe they were practicing some interesting spell again?
Fish hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity, turned around and ran towards Snape's office.
Arriving at the door of Snape's office, Malfoy happened to come out of the room and Snape was closing the door.
Feishu's sudden appearance startled both of them.
"Meow~"
(=ΦωΦ=)
Fish raised his little paw to say hello to them.
As a result, Snape quickly scanned the surroundings for movement, and then pulled Malfoy back after he had just taken two steps.
"Come in!" he whispered to Fish.
Although Fish didn't know what was happening, he still waved his four little paws and jumped into Snape's office.
=(==(=ω=(=ω=)
"Click."
As soon as Maomao jumped into the office, the door was closed by Snape. He looked down at the little tabby cat squatting at his feet, nodded expressionlessly, and then raised his wand...
"quietly."
"Meow?"
(=ω=)
Fei Xu raised his little head and looked at him curiously, unable to understand what he was doing.
Then he looked at Draco Malfoy aside, and saw that his already pale face looked even more bloodless than usual, and there was a faint hint of sweat on his forehead...
"Are you practicing the Patronus Charm again?"
(°ω°≡°ω°)
Fish, who had returned to his human form, was curiously looking for traces of Boggarts or Dementors, because Malfoy's state was so similar to the last time he saw him practicing the Patronus Charm.
"No, what I'm practicing is... Occlumency." Malfoy's expression changed slightly, as if he was recalling some unbearable memory.
"What is Occlumency?" Maomao blinked his eyes and asked with interest, "Is it fun, Meow? If it's fun, Feishu would also like to learn Meow!"
(ω)
Snape's mouth twitched twice, and finally he explained: "Occlumency is a spell used to prevent others from prying into one's thoughts... It's not fun."
"If it's not fun, why would you imitate it?" Fish looked at Malfoy speechlessly, "Is there anyone who would want to peek into your thoughts, meow?"
However, what he didn't expect was that Malfoy turned solemn and silent, which obviously confirmed Fish's guess.
Fish looked at Snape in surprise and found that he also looked serious.
"What the hell is going on, meow?"
(ˇˇ)
No matter how nervous Fei Xu was, he knew at this time that there must be some special situation. He also showed a serious look and asked.
"The Dark Lord is in my house." Malfoy said after a moment of silence.
"What?!" Maomao immediately became excited after hearing this, "Take Fei Xu over quickly, I'll fight with him, meow!"
(ω)
"This is impossible, Fish." Snape said: "After the Dark Lord hid in the Malfoy manor, he immediately asked Lucius to change the secret keeper there to himself. Without his permission, No one else can get in."
"Is that really the case..."
Hermione had analyzed this situation for Fish before, but he thought it was Malfoy's home after all, and Draco should still be able to take her there.
"Why is that guy Voldemort so cowardly?"
(`н)
Fei Xu crossed his hands and cursed angrily.
Then he asked curiously: "Voldemort has robbed your house, why is Lucius still following him?" But before Malfoy could explain, the cat quickly said: "Oh, yes Well, that bad guy will kill the Death Eaters who want to escape...that's how Sirius' brother Regulus died."
"That's it," Malfoy pursed his thin lips, nodded, and said with a sad face: "The Dark Lord also sent people to hunt down Karkaroff. It is estimated that he will die soon."
"Karkarov? Oh... that mustache." Fish thought for a moment before realizing who he was.
"Because you defeated the Dark Lord head-on, many Death Eaters, including my father, felt that it would be impossible for him to successfully rule England after his resurrection, but they did not dare to betray him."
Malfoy then explained why he wanted to learn Occlumency from Snape.
"And I have a good relationship with you. My father is also worried that if the Dark Lord wants me to use this relationship to deal with you in the future, I will be resistant and he will notice..."
He sighed heavily and continued, "The Dark Lord is very good at Legilimency. If I show any sign of betrayal, my father, mother and I will be in danger... But I can't stay out all the time, so I must learn the brain block to prevent this from happening."
"Draco is very talented in this spell, and I believe he will be able to master it completely soon." Snape took over the conversation, "But we are not sure what other Death Eaters think, whether they have ordered their children to work for the Dark Lord, so Draco must act against Dumbledore in front of Slytherin students, and in order to prevent the Dark Lord from asking him to deal with you, Draco cannot act too close to you."
"Oh... No wonder Draco was so strange on the train..." Cat suddenly realized.
"Yes," Malfoy, who had always been sad, finally smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that you didn't mind, Fish. I thought you would be angry with me."
"Well... Because in Fish's opinion, you are no different from before."
(ω)
Mao Mao scratched his head and said, "Fish thought it was because you became a prefect... Percy was like this at the beginning."
"Heh! Weasley..." Malfoy sneered disdainfully.
It is obvious that even if the Malfoy family intends to betray Voldemort, their views on the Weasley family will not change, just like the relationship between Snape and Sirius.
"Only Dumbledore knows about this at present, so Fish, you must not leak it out." Snape explained very seriously.
If possible, Snape actually wanted to hide it from Fish, but Malfoy was bumped by Mao Mao just now. If he didn't explain it clearly, with Mao Mao's curiosity, God knows what will happen next.
It's not impossible to cover it up with a lie, but if so, Fish might not take it seriously. If he lets it slip, the risk of being exposed will be even greater. It's better to tell him everything.
"Don't worry! Fish is very tight-lipped meow! This time it's for real meow!"
(ˇˇ)
Mao Mao also knows that he sometimes slips up, but he hasn't let out some really important things.
This is why Snape told everything.
"If it's possible... No, forget it."
In fact, Snape wanted Fish to cooperate with Malfoy to play a quarrel, but after thinking about it, it was too deliberate, and it was hard to say whether Fish could do it without leaking any flaws... So he said half of the words and swallowed them back.
"What do you want to say meow? Say it quickly!"
(`Д)
Fish, whose appetite was aroused, refused to do it at this time.
There are two types of people that Maomao hates the most in his life. One is the one who only speaks half of his words, and the other is the one who

When I woke up in the morning, my entire right arm was sore... I don’t know what’s going on, I can’t concentrate at all... It’s uncomfortable.
The weather has been so outrageous recently. The temperature was 25+ two days ago, and it has dropped below 20 these two days. According to the weather forecast, it will be 25+ again in the next two days... It keeps jumping back and forth!
Maybe my hand pain is because of the weather.
