Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 661 Tit for tat, the role of assistants

After returning from Hagrid, Kyle didn't do anything else.

In the next few days, he had been writing his holiday homework in an empty classroom on the sixth floor. Looking out the window here, he could just clearly see Hagrid's hut.

On this day, Kyle came here early as usual and sat at the familiar window seat. While writing his holiday homework, he glanced out the window from time to time.

Soon, he saw an owl fly to Hagrid's hut, drop a letter and then fly away.

Hagrid took the letter and looked around pretendingly, then hurriedly walked into the house and closed the door tightly.

Everything was exactly the same as the previous days.

But just when Kyle was about to continue writing his potion homework, another person suddenly appeared near the Forbidden Forest.

It was Filch... He had been hiding behind a big tree until Hagrid closed the door.

Kyle immediately threw the quill aside and watched as he sneakily walked to Hagrid's cabin and looked towards the window.

But the cabin was tightly covered with curtains, and even the gaps in the wooden cabin were sealed, so nothing could be seen from the outside.

Filch walked around twice but gained nothing, so he could only curse and leave.

Seeing this, Kyle immediately put away the homework on the table and prepared to go back to the common room to send the most important letter.

But on the way downstairs, he bumped into Snape.

"I thought you broke the school rules again and sneaked out of the school." Snape said coldly: "It's really disappointing."

"Professor, I have been at school these days." Kyle said, "If you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."

Kyle didn't intend to continue wasting time with Snape here, so he immediately bypassed him and prepared to move forward.

But Snape stood in front of him again.

"Wait a moment." He said, "It's only been less than a week. I think you haven't forgotten what you promised the principal."

Kyle raised his head and looked at Snape, "If you are talking about helping Harry learn Occlumency... of course I remember it."

"That's good." Snape glanced at him, "Come with me."

"Are you starting now?" Kyle didn't move.

The vacation isn't over yet. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed after school starts?

And Harry should still be at No. 12 Grimmauld Place at the moment. They wouldn't rush over there to teach... That's Sirius's chassis.

"Yes, now..." Snape turned around and urged impatiently: "Hurry up and follow me, don't let me say it a third time!"

There was no other way, so Kyle could only put aside the matter of returning to the common room to mail the letter for the time being, and followed Snape's footsteps.

When they arrived at the underground classroom, Kyle discovered that Harry, who was supposed to be at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, was actually standing there.

But judging from his tense expression and heavy breathing, he should be very unhappy now. When he looked at Snape, his eyes were almost on fire.

Of course, Snape was the same.

"Believe me Potter." He said softly, "If it weren't for the Headmaster's request, I would never allow you to step foot here."

"Should I thank you for your generosity?" Harry said through gritted teeth, his face flushed.

He suspected that Snape did it on purpose.

There are still ten days before the holiday ends, and Sirius has agreed to take him to Diagon Alley to choose new furniture to decorate his bedroom.

As a result, he had to return to Hogwarts to learn Occlumency.

For a moment, Harry even passed the thought of fighting Snape.

"There's no need to thank you." Snape said calmly, as if he couldn't hear the irritation in his tone, "As long as you can learn a little bit from the previous lessons, don't let me repeat what I have said countless times. That’s all.”

"But why now?" Harry couldn't help shouting: "Can't you wait until school starts?"

"It seems you want to have fun more than thinking about the safety of the Order members."

Snape said in a cold tone, "I made it very clear last time. The Dark Lord has now noticed that you can sense his thoughts, and has deduced that this situation can be reversed... In other words, the Dark Lord The devil has figured out that he can also sense your thoughts.

“Or do you think the Dark Lord is as arrogant and stupid as you, and doesn’t know anything?

"Or maybe you regard this as an exciting game... Invading the Dark Lord's mind must be more interesting than wizard chess, right?"

"I didn't!" Harry shouted. "I never thought of it that way."

"Oh..." Snape sneered, "If you don't think so, you should learn Occlumency as soon as possible instead of complaining here that I delayed your vacation!"

Harry's face turned redder. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say... It seemed that there was a voice in his head that kept telling him that Snape was right.

"Okay, I understand." Harry said with difficulty: "I will not let Voldemort have the opportunity to perceive my thoughts..."

"Don't say the Dark Lord's name!" Snape shouted.

There was an awkward silence, both glaring at each other, but it ended with Harry giving in.

"What are we going to do?"

"It's the same as last time." Snape took out the wand from his robe and said, "Try to protect your mind from being invaded...or defeat me, no matter what magic you use!"

"Professor Snape..." At this time, Kyle, who had been silent, suddenly came out, "I feel that as a qualified teaching assistant, I need to show Harry what to do."

Snape didn't understand what this meant at first, until he saw the eager expression on Kyle's face and the wand in his hand.

"I obviously have different opinions from you. A qualified assistant does not need to make his own decisions." Snape said with a dark face, and he was ready to curse.

Naturally, he could say whatever he wanted to Harry. After all, Harry's little magic skills couldn't do anything to him.

But Kyle was different... Snape had no plans to change offices yet.

At this moment, Harry finally noticed the presence of another person besides Snape.

"Kyle, why are you here?" He said in surprise: "Do you also want to learn Occlumency?"

For a moment, Harry was still very excited. It was much better to have an acquaintance with him than to face Snape alone.

Before Kyle could explain, Snape said first:

"Potter, if you could realize that you still have ears, you would realize that we all mentioned the title 'assistant' just now."

"Assistant teacher?"

"I'm glad you heard it this time. I shouldn't have to explain to you what the assistant means." Snape mocked, he glanced at Kyle, and then his eyes fell on Harry again.

"If your Occlumency was half as good as his... no, even just one-third of his level, we wouldn't need to waste time here now."

Harry felt ashamed again.

"Okay, enough nonsense." Snape raised his eyes.

He did not rush to cast a spell on Harry, but first took out the Pensieve from the cabinet, then put the wand against his temple, pulled out a wisp of silver memory, and let it fall gently into the Pensieve.

He repeated the same action three times in total.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. He finally understood what Snape wanted the pensieve for.

The method Snape taught Harry to learn Occlumency was probably to use Legilimency to invade Harry's brain and force him to practice continuously.

Although this method has the best effect, it also has certain drawbacks, that is, in the process of using Legilimency, if the opponent suddenly learns Occlumency... even if it is just a moment of accidental impact, Function, Legilimency may also be bounced back.

Kyle guessed that this should have happened when Snape first taught Harry Occlumency.

No wonder Snape was so angry a few days ago, it all makes sense now.

Harry accidentally deflected Snape's Legilimency spell and took the opportunity to see part of the secret hidden in his heart.

If that were the case, even a brief glance would be enough to send Snape into a rage.

The way to solve this problem is also very simple, just take out the memory that you don't want others to see from your mind.

The pensieve plays the role of storing memory.

It seems that these three memories are very important to Snape... What could they be?

Kyle was a little curious, and he couldn't help but glance at the pensieve that was put back in the cabinet, but the cabinet had been locked by Snape, and he had no chance to open it.

"Now, get ready..." Snape pointed his wand at Harry, "Legilimency!"

Harry's wand only had time to emit a burst of white light before his body stiffened and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Weak!"

Kyle waved his wand, and the hard ground immediately became as soft as a cushion, supporting Harry who fell.

At the same time, Snape groaned and retracted the hand holding the wand.

There was a red and swollen mark on his wrist that looked like a brand.

"Stinging curse?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

I have to say, Harry's way of coping was pretty good.

Legilimency is a continuous magic, and it must always maintain a connection between its own magic power and the person being spied on...

When you don't know how to deal with this spell, it's a good idea to find a way to disconnect the opponent's magic power.

In addition to stinging spells, there are also disarming spells, repel spells, blasting spells, and even patronus spells.

At the same time that Snape lowered his wand, Harry gradually opened his eyes.

He was first surprised that his fall today didn't hurt, and then he looked at Snape warily.

"Are you only capable of such clever tricks?" Snape asked coldly, rubbing his wrists.

"I……"

"Legilimency!"

Just as Harry was about to speak, Snape stretched out his wand again.

Harry's body became stiff again.

"No, stop..." he roared and fell to the ground.

But this time, Snape stopped Kyle from softening the ground any further.

"A proper injury will help him master this magic faster."

"Then what else can I do?" Kyle asked.

"No need to do anything." Snape glanced at him, "Just watch from the side."

Kyle shrugged and said nothing.

At the same time, Harry also woke up from the pain because his knee hit the table.

"This is a sneak attack." He looked at Snape angrily and shouted, "I'm not ready yet."

"Your enemies will not let you prepare in advance." Snape scolded: "I find it hard to believe that you really take this matter to your heart, and you have made no progress at all after so many days."

Harry glared viciously.

But Snape showed no concern and continued: "Get rid of distracting thoughts, Potter, I reminded you, get rid of all emotions, this is the key to learning Occlumency..."

Kyle nodded beside him.

Snape is right. The most important thing about Occlumency is concentration, eliminating all distracting thoughts, and resisting invasion with all your strength.

And excess emotions will inevitably distract attention, especially in Harry's current situation. Although he looks very energetic when he yells, it has no effect on learning Occlumency.

"Come again, be prepared... Legilimency!"

Harry fell again, his knees hitting the ground hard.

"You didn't do it, Potter...you need to restrain yourself, gather your thoughts...do it again!"

For the next time, Harry seemed to be at loggerheads with the floor of Snape's office, hitting it in different ways each time.

Sometimes it's on the knees, sometimes it's on the arms... Those who didn't know better thought it was some kind of wrestling training.

Kyle was probably the most relaxed person in the room. At Snape's request, he would only help soften the ground when Harry's head was down.

"Get up Potter, you didn't do anything, you didn't try hard, I'm asking you to put aside your feelings!"

"I tried my best!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

"Trying hard?" Snape said sharply, "I just showed you the memories from before you were ten years old, and you gave up all resistance and yelled at me to get out!

"A weak person like you is no match for the Dark Lord, Potter."

"I'm not weak." Harry clenched his fists, as if he might rush over and punch Snape at any time.

"Then prove it... Legilimency!"

As expected, Harry fell to the ground again.

"I want you to put aside your feelings!"

"no!"

"Control your anger!"

Snape's scoldings and the sound of Harry falling to the ground were heard in the office.

After two hours like this, Harry finally... fainted.

He lay on the ground, frowning, covering the scar on his forehead with one hand, and waving the other hand unconsciously.

Kyle walked over and said thoughtfully, "Professor Snape, he won't enter the mind of the mysterious man again."

Snape said nothing, but his expression was extremely gloomy.

A large ball of water appeared out of thin air and hit Harry directly in the face.

Harry woke up, kneeling on the ground and gasping for air.

"Did you see it again?" Snape asked, staring at Harry, "entering the mind of the Dark Lord."

"I...I didn't..." Harry's eyes flickered.

"Lies!" Snape shouted angrily.

Harry didn't say anything, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

"Otherwise, let Harry go back first." Kyle came out to smooth things over. "Two hours is enough. If we use Legilimency again, he might not be able to hold on."

There was a flash of hope in Harry's eyes, and he couldn't wait to get out of here now.

Snape stared into Harry's eyes, and then said after a long time: "We will continue practicing at the same time tomorrow.

"Remember what I said last time, eliminate all emotions before going to bed so that your mind becomes empty and calm."

"Okay," Harry said, and left without looking back.

"I don't think he listened."

Looking at the door that was closed again, Kyle couldn't help but say... Harry's thoughts were almost written on his face, which could be seen at a glance.

He just wanted to leave quickly and didn't care what Snape said.

"Arrogant, emotional fool." Snape took a deep breath.

"Then I'll go back, Professor." Kyle said.

"Wait a minute." Snape turned to look at him and said sadly: "As a teaching assistant, now is the time to play your role and help Potter make a plan to learn Occlumency, including the necessary requirements. What to pay attention to, and what to do in normal times...it must be at least three feet long, and leave it to me this time tomorrow."

"But I have other things to do." Kyle wanted to refuse.

Good guy, the three-foot-long plan... If he agrees, nothing will be done today.

"That's not what I need to consider." Snape said, "Since you agreed to the Headmaster, you must fulfill the responsibilities of an assistant teacher, unless you can refuse the job.

"But I must remind you that the principal is not at the school recently. No matter what you think, wait until he comes back."

The corner of Kyle's mouth twitched...Does he have to co-author this plan?

If he had known this was going to happen, he should have insisted on showing Harry how to fight Legilimency.
