Chapter 388 Occlumency Teaching

"Only Muggles talk about 'reading people's hearts'. People's hearts are not a book, so you can't read them at will."

"Thoughts aren't etched in the skull to be drilled into and read. The mind is a complex, multi-layered thing, Harry—at least most minds are."

"However, someone with Legilimency can study other people's minds in certain situations and interpret them correctly. Voldemort, for example, could almost always see that someone was lying to him, and only someone who is good at Occlumency can seal it." Feelings and memories contradicting lies, lying in his presence without detection."

Harry's thoughts emanated, and in Sherlock's description, he thought that the magic of Remembrance was unprecedentedly powerful.

"Can Voldemort see what we're thinking now, Professor."

"Space and time are the biggest obstacles to magic, and the same is true for inspiriting. The best way to activate this magic is to look directly into the eyes of the person who is being inspirited. Besides, Hogwarts Castle has an ancient and powerful Magic is always protecting, and he doesn't have such great ability." Sherlock said.

"But the spell that didn't kill you seems to have established some kind of connection between you and Voldemort. There are times, when your mind is most relaxed and vulnerable - in sleep, for example - that you can perceive him. thoughts and emotions, it's quite dangerous, Harry."

"If this kind of thing continues, it is impossible for him not to find the problem, and once this happens, then your mind will completely open the door to him, and he will even let you dream of whatever he wants you to dream of. matter."

Harry has obviously realized the seriousness of this matter from Dumbledore and Sherlock's repeated emphasis.

"Then what should I do first, Professor?"

Sherlock opened the notebook and said helplessly.

"I don't know much about Occlumency myself, so I asked Severus to help me write this teaching note. It's just that the teaching method he imagined is a bit too rough, but it's also the fastest and easiest to complete way."

He looked at Harry seriously.

"So I'm going to ask for your opinion before the formal teaching, Harry. Would you like to open up your memory in front of me? If there is something wrong with you, then we will use another method, but It’s going to be very slow to teach like that.”

Harry shrugged nonchalantly.

"I'm perfectly fine, Professor, there's nothing I can't see in my mind."

Of course, there is no problem if it is Sherlock, but if it is Snape, then Harry is naturally 1 unwilling.

With Harry saying this, then Sherlock's next teaching work will be easy to handle. Snape has already helped him plan it, and he just needs to follow the steps.

Sherlock first took out a stone basin from a side cabinet, and Harry recognized that it was Dumbledore's Pensieve.

Then he drew his wand from inside his robes, raised the tip to his temple, and inserted it into the smooth roots of his hair.

When he took the wand away, there was a silvery thread attached to the tip, like a thick spider's thread, and Sherlock tore it, letting it fall softly into the Pensieve, where it swirled silvery white. , which is neither a gas nor a liquid.

Sherlock raised his wand to his temple twice more, adding the silvery substance to the stone basin.

"When spying on other people's memory, I need to take out part of my own memory, so as not to affect some important parts of it, so I specially borrowed the Pensieve from Professor Dumbledore."

While explaining, he put the Pensieve containing the memory back into the cabinet, and made Harry stand up from the chair.

"Next, I'm going to try to get into your brain, Harry." Sherlock said seriously, "You can use all the methods you can think of to resist, I need to test some of your willpower, this is very important .”

Harry took a deep breath, then nodded, signaling that he was ready.

"Insomnia."

Sherlock shot suddenly, and before Harry had time to resist, the office disappeared before his eyes, and images flashed through his mind like a movie, and he could no longer see what was around him.

At five he watched Dudley ride his new red bicycle with envy; at nine he was chased up a tree by the watchdog Lippy, and the Dursleys laughed on the lawn; hat, heard it said that he could go to Slytherin; during the summer vacation of the second grade, Sherlock came to the door and said that he could take him to travel to France; hundreds of dementors surrounded Sirius, and he rushed up to use the Patronus spell; At the ball of the Triwizard Tournament, he looked jealously at Cedric dancing around Qiu Zhang's slender waist
The previous memories are all okay, but only when it comes to the part about Qiu Zhang, Harry resists instinctively because of his shyness.

He began to struggle, and Sherlock's office was back in his view.

Harry panted heavily, and at some point he held the wand in his hand, and there was a scorched spell smoking white smoke on the wall beside Sherlock.

Seeing this scene, he could obviously guess what he had just done.

"Hold, sorry, Professor, I, I don't know when I used the spell."

Sherlock interrupted Harry's apology.

"You don't have to apologize, your resistance is exactly what I want, it shows you're not defenseless with your memory, and that's a good thing."

He didn't mention the scene he saw at the end. Harry didn't think of it at first, but in fact he still had some psychology that he didn't want others to find out.

Teenagers are always restless.

"You have actually mastered some tricks. The key to Occlumency is that you can completely and completely control your thoughts."

"When other people use magic to drag your mind to think about memories in certain aspects, you have to ensure that you still have absolute control over your own."

"And the key to this is that you have to be able to control your emotions, don't produce other redundant emotions, try to let your brain empty, don't think about anything, even with magic like insanity Pulling you, you can also be perfectly unaffected, which means that you have basically mastered the magic of Occlumency."

After letting Harry experience that feeling once, Sherlock explained the trick to him.

Harry took a deep breath and nodded.

"I'll try, shall we do it again?"

Sherlock raised his wand again.

"Of course, remember what I said, and now, let your mind be empty."
