Chapter 294 Vacation Is Over

'Occlumency...'

Andrew looked up from the table and moved his body.

It 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 was described in the information obtained by Andrew, and although he had never seen the so-called natural telepathizer, he was very clear about how outrageous the Disguise Magus in the field of transfiguration was.

If the two could be replaced, then Legilimency would be so terrifying that they could read other people's thoughts without casting spells, as simple as breathing...

‘So I have to learn more. Although I haven’t heard the relevant introduction, but reading it all is more difficult than just the astronomy tower...'

He thought this 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 ingesting emotional fluctuations to read corresponding memories - even a natural Legilimency can only read more information when the other person's mood fluctuates, let alone imitated Legilimency. .

Therefore, 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 had 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 practice 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 allow him to adapt to Legilimency, so as to adjust it little by little. The potential of Occlumency, finally mastered.

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 learned 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 memory through emotions, so he naturally found ways to protect himself.

But this kind of learning also has disadvantages, because if you are exposed to 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 price is very small. Moreover, Professor Snape probably relied on this to practice. He was so cruel when he cursed people. He said he was so apathetic that Andrew wouldn't believe it even to death. .

However, 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 can also be a good teacher. ’

As for the Master of Legilimency, even the entire Hogwarts community cannot keep up with this magical prop that has been used many times and for many years...

'Forget it, if the speedrun is exposed, it will be a lot of fun...'

Anyway, he wasn't worried at all about whether he could learn such a thing - the professor would agree to learn magic like Occlumency after just thinking about it.

‘I just have to go back to school early, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time. Damn it, do I have to go back 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? Didn't you originally say that you would stay for an extra week?"

"Sorry, Mrs. Camille," Andrew lowered his head. This time he was really more willful, "I was 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, "If you two are even, you don't need 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 went on to buy a train ticket, then found a nearby fireplace and flew directly to Hogsmeade without taking the train.

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."

"It's good that you have something to do temporarily. I said that the professors at Hogwarts don't seem to be that busy."

? ? ?

Andrew's mind was spinning rapidly.

He didn't understand what Hagrid meant for a while - he was a student, Hagrid was a gamekeeper, what relationship did he have with the professor?

Wait, it seems that there is a relationship, he almost forgot!

Hagrid seems to have become a professor, taking over the class of the old professor!

He organized Professor Kettleburn's retirement party, but he couldn't attend it because he had an exam, which was a pity.

So, the new professor of Care of Magical Creatures is Hagrid?

Yes, that's right!

But he shouldn't know this information in theory - so he put away the idea of ​​congratulations.

"The professors are busier than I thought. Homework alone is hard enough to deal with, not to mention a bunch of problem students and final exams. There are also many things that need to be prepared for class."

"Is it that hard?"

"Of course," Andrew said with an expression that said I knew nothing, "It's really tiring."

The castle is almost in front of him - he has also conveyed his recognition of the professors' hard work. So, no matter what, he will first improve his impressions 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 and said goodbye with a complicated expression.
