Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 663 Snape’s special powers

Although it is not Dumbledore's signature, Snape's name is still very useful.

Five minutes before dinner started that day, Snape led a house elf to the Great Hall.

I don’t know if it was because of being tortured for several days, but Harry seemed to have developed some kind of special sensory ability. He instinctively looked up at Snape almost as soon as he walked into the auditorium.

 At the same time, he also saw the house elf next to him.

"More than?"

After Snape left, Harry shouted uncertainly.

 He felt that this house elf was very similar to the Malfoy elf who tried every possible means to protect him in the second grade.

 But he was not sure.

 Because the house elf at that time was only wearing a dirty and torn tea towel, and now this... How should I put it, Harry had never seen such a well-dressed elf.

He wore a hand-knitted wide-brimmed hat on his head, which just covered his two big ears, and he was holding a brand new brown leather suitcase in his hand.

 A set of jackets that are just the right size, are clean, and have a very new style. They have many pockets of different shapes, and the material is very similar to the dragon keeper overalls worn by Charlie. They look very strong at first glance.

As well as the boots under his feet, Harry was not sure for a moment whether they were made of cowhide or fire dragon skin.

 It doesn’t look like cowhide, but it’s a bit too exaggerated for a house elf to wear fire dragon leather boots.

 Plus they all looked almost the same, so it was normal for Harry to be unsure.

Until the house elf waved at him excitedly and screamed: "Mr. Harry Potter still remembers Dobby. Dobby is so happy."

"It's really you." Harry was surprised: "But how come you are with Snape? Are you working for him?"

“No, Dobby works for Mr. Scamander,” said the elf.

"Scamander?" Harry frowned. He always felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

“Yes, Mr. Scamander asked Dobby to come to Hogwarts to find Professor Snape, and Dobby came.”

Hearing that it was related to Snape, Harry suddenly lost interest in this person and asked instead, "What do you want to do in Hogwarts?"

While saying this, Harry suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, and he couldn't tell why.

 Maybe it was the things Dobby had done before... It was said that he wanted to protect him, but intercepting letters and blocking the station passages were really frustrating for him.

 Harry was really afraid that Dobby would try to protect him again.

 “Dobby is here to see Mr. Kyle.” The elf then remembered his mission and quickly looked around.

 At this time, Kyle just walked in from outside.

 “Ah, Mr. Kyle.” Dobby ran over quickly.

Seeing this, Harry breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, they weren't here to protect him.

 But I don’t know why, that feeling of panic did not disappear with Dobby’s departure, but became more obvious.

"Maybe it's because I was attacked by Snape too many times..." Harry, who couldn't think of the reason, could only console himself this way.

On the other side, Kyle looked at Dobby running over, also a little surprised.

 “I thought Newt was coming.”

“Mr Scamander said it was not appropriate for him to be at Hogwarts right now, so he sent Dobby instead.”

"No, it's the perfect time for him to come." Kyle muttered, a little disappointed.

 But even though Dobby has come, he cannot be allowed to go back again...

“Forget it,” Kyle said. “Come with me.”

  He took Dobby to the empty common room and asked, "Have you brought anything?"

"Here." Dobby raised the suitcase in his hand, "Mr. Kyle, are you sure there is no one else here? Mr. Scamander said this cannot be seen by others, otherwise you will be expelled from school. of."

“Don’t worry, everyone else has gone to the auditorium, we are the only two here now.” Kyle said.

"That's good." Dobby then opened the box, revealing two sapphire-like eyes inside.

 “And this.” Dobby took out another bulging bag.

"What's this?"

"Mrs. Scamander just made grapefruit biscuits. She asked me to bring you some."

By the time Kyle returned to the auditorium, dinner had already begun.

 “Where’s the house elf?” Connor asked, looking behind him.

“I’ve gone back,” Kyle said. He took out two biscuits from the bag and handed them to Kangna. “Try it and see how it goes.”

Kanna took it and took a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“It’s delicious. Where did this come from? The Hogwarts kitchen?”

"No, it was made by Tina... Mrs. Scamander. Her craftsmanship comes from a great baker." Kyle said, "If you like, I can take you there during the holidays..."

“Sorry, this holiday Kangna is going to Austria to attend the membership review of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, and cannot accompany you to meet Mrs. Scamander.”

 A voice as cold as a snake came from behind.

Kyle's neck felt cold, and he turned around to see Snape standing behind him expressionlessly.

“Professor, I didn’t realize you were here.” Kyle laughed dryly.

"Of course you didn't notice it." Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is the thing? Give it to me."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Kyle said, "The child has just been sent here and has not yet adapted. It will attack all strangers who come near it.

"Of course, Professor, you can definitely solve it, but if you accidentally get injured or hit it, it will be troublesome, right... just leave this little thing to me,"

"What about tomorrow?" Snape asked in a long voice: "I don't think Potter can deal with a 5X magical animal with aggressive tendencies."

"I can handle it, Professor," Kyle said. "One night is enough."

 Snape stared at him for a while, then leaned over and said meaningfully, "Then you must remember and don't let me see it again..."

 After saying that, he stood up again and strode out of the auditorium.

 It wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared that Kyle breathed a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at the uneaten toast and sausages on the plate in front of him, and pushed them aside decisively, intending to take them back later for the Poison Leopard to have a taste, and he took a new one himself.

Who knows if Snape added some special "seasoning" to his food just now? Although the possibility of this happening is unlikely, Kyle still thinks it's better to be cautious.

Looking at his actions, Kangna couldn't help laughing and picked up a cookie again.

Kyle sighed.

The most annoying thing about Snape is that he walks almost silently and always appears nearby at critical moments.

Kyle has encountered this several times, and it’s quite annoying.

 After dinner, Kangna went to the library as before, planning to read some more books before the curfew.

Kyle didn’t come with me because he finally didn’t have to write any plans today.

 On the other side, Harry also returned to the dormitory.

Everyone else had gone home, and there was no one to chat with. Harry, who felt bored, lay down on the bed early and fell asleep in a daze.

 …

the next day.

Although he was very reluctant, Harry came to the underground classroom at the agreed time.

It was one minute before nine o'clock, and Harry stood in the corridor habitually, preparing to go in at nine o'clock sharp.

 But at this time, the office door was opened from the inside.

Kyle walked out and happened to catch Harry's eyes.

“I was just going to find you.” Kyle said, “We are not studying here today, let’s find another place.”

 “Where to go?” Harry asked.

“Eighth floor, Room of Requirements.” Kyle said.

"The Room of Requirement..." Harry suddenly became nervous, "Snape also knows where it is?"

"No, he doesn't know yet. That's the place I picked." Kyle came to the stairs and said as he walked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn Occlumency from me? Snape agreed."       Really?"

Harry felt a huge surprise coming over him. This was simply the best news he had heard in the past month.

"Well, of course it's true." Kyle said casually: "But there is something I must remind you. I don't know how to teach other people to learn Occlumency... Don't look at me like that, I really don't know."

Looking at Harry's skeptical expression, Kyle continued: "However, if you agree, I can recommend to you the way I learned Occlumency."

"Of course I agree." Harry said impatiently: "As long as I don't see Snape again."

"Don't say it so early..." Kyle whispered.

Soon the two arrived at the eighth floor. Kyle opened the door to the Room of Requirement and walked in first. Harry quickly followed.

He found himself in a large room, so big that he couldn't see the edge at a glance. There was no ceiling above his head, but a sky with white clouds. There was soft grass under his feet. Not far away, there was a lake similar to the black lake. Big lake.

For a moment, Harry thought he was outside in the field.

"It's great here..." Harry closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze.

 As expected of Kyle, the study location he chose was far superior to Snape's.

It is definitely much better to learn Occlumency in such a comfortable place than in a dark and small office!

 “What should I do?” Harry asked impatiently.

 “Don’t be impatient yet.” Kyle clapped his hands.

 With a deep roar, Harry suddenly found that there was another one in front of him...

 Leopard...tiger...lion?

Harry didn't know what kind of animal it was. It looked like a cat that had been enlarged many times, but it had six legs.

And whether it's a cat or a tiger...it can't have six legs, right?

 Harry's doubts were soon answered.

"This is a leopard cat," Kyle said. "It is classified as a 5X magical animal by the Ministry of Magic and is extremely dangerous."

Harry had a look of fear in his eyes and took two steps back unconsciously.

 5X, isn’t that the same as a fire dragon?

 No wonder it has six legs! These weird and magical animals are not easy to mess with.

"Of course, the cat and leopard in front of you is special. He will not attack you." Kyle explained.

To verify this statement, he scratched the leopard's chin under Harry's horrified gaze.

The other party immediately narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and purred with satisfaction, looking like a bigger cat.

This also made Harry gradually feel relieved, and he wondered: "But Kyle, why is there this cat in the Room of Requirement... Well, where is the Cat Leopard?"

“Of course I borrowed it.” Kyle continued: “In fact, when I first learned Occlumency from it.

“Cats and leopards are born masters of Legilimency, just like Tonks’ Metamorphmagus. Their blue eyes can see through everything, including your heart.”

Harry subconsciously raised his head and looked into those blue eyes.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, and this feeling was even stronger than Snape's magic.

 Subconsciously, Harry wrapped his robe tightly around himself.

"You must be joking, right?" He hesitated: "I mean how is this possible? It's just a magical animal. How can it be Legilimency?"

The cat and leopard let out a whimpering sound.

“Haven’t you already felt it?” Kyle said with a smile, “This is the unique ability of cats and leopards, and it is also the reason why they are not positioned as 5X magical animals.

“Coupled with the intelligence that is much higher than other magical animals... to a certain extent, the cat and leopard is even more dangerous than the fire dragon.”

Harry pursed his lips.

“But I feel different.” He said, “Snape’s Legilimency is not like this.”

"It's actually the same." Kyle shrugged and explained: "It's just that Professor Snape used a more complicated way to let you see your own memories."

"I knew he had no good intentions." Harry said subconsciously.

Kyle raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Harry suddenly said that, but he didn't pay much attention.

 Having been tormented by Snape for so long, Harry would inevitably speculate on him with the greatest malice, which is normal.

"Okay, let's continue." Kyle took out a piece of warthog leg meat and fed it to the cat and leopard, and said: "My method is actually similar to Professor Snape's. They both use Legilimency to force you to learn Occlumency. , but the person who attacked you was not me, but Cat Leopard."

 “Let me deal with the leopard?” Harry screamed, even his voice changed.

 He felt that the winning rate between himself and Maobao was only 30-70.

 He ​​persisted for three minutes, and the cat and leopard ate until they were seven-tenths full... Kyle asked himself to deal with a magical animal that was as famous as the fire dragon. Did he think too highly of him?

 He heard another low whimpering sound.

"Cat Leopard said it won't take that long, you can hold on for a minute at most..." Kyle said casually.

Harry's face turned paler, and his legs began to tremble. He just wanted to learn a spell, and there was no need to risk his life.

“It’s just a joke, don’t be nervous.” Kyle waved his hand, “Don’t worry, this cat leopard taught me Occlumency. It has rich teaching experience in this area and can master the propriety.”

“It doesn’t matter if you regret it, I can send you back to the underground classroom again.”

"No!" Harry said firmly, "I would rather face the Cat Leopard than go back to the underground classroom."

“Then you have to think about it,” Kyle said. “If you choose to stay here, you won’t be able to leave until school starts, unless you can learn Occlumency in advance.”

 “What about eating and sleeping?” Harry asked.

“It’s also here.” Kyle pointed to a small cabin not far away. “That’s where you live. The layout inside is similar to that of a dormitory. As for food... I’ll ask the elf to help bring it over.”

"Okay." Harry agreed immediately without hesitation.

After confirming that there was no danger, Harry was no longer so scared, and was slightly excited.

Learning spells from 5X magical beasts is an experience that not everyone can have. If Ron knew about it, he would definitely envy him...and Hermione, she definitely didn't expect that magical animals could also be teachers.

"how should I do."

"It's very simple." Kyle took two steps back, "Don't get beaten too badly."

 Before Harry could understand what this meant, he saw Leopard, who was as well-behaved as a house cat, suddenly stood up and rushed over.

He subconsciously wanted to hide, but as if Mao Leopard had read through his thoughts, he turned around and stood in front of him.

A tail struck Harry accurately with the sound of breaking wind, sending him flying away.

Harry let out a scream, covering his arms and groaning.

 No, this is different from what he thought... Didn't Kyle say there is no danger?

Just when Harry was about to say something, Cat Leopard had already jumped in front of him again.

　　It was the same tail, roaring and swung over like an iron rod.

Harry rolled on the spot, and then...he was whipped to the other side again.

“Harry, don’t forget Occlumency.” Kyle shouted from the side: “Cat Leopard can see through your thoughts. Simply hiding is useless, use Occlumency!

“Only if the cat and leopard can’t see it, you have a chance to avoid its attack.”

He was answered with another scream. Harry drew a graceful arc in the air and flew directly into the lake, splashing a lot of water.

Although this lake is just a look-alike, and the deepest part only reaches the level of a normal person's calf, Harry's wet look still makes people feel a little unbearable.

So Kyle chose not to look.

 After a few more words with Maobao, he decisively turned around and left the Room of Requirement.

 “It’s much better now.”

Coming to the corridor outside, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and walked downstairs in a happy mood.

Whether Harry can learn Occlumency depends on these few days. At the same time, he can also have time to do his own things.

 As for Harry's safety, Kyle is not worried at all.

In addition to Cat Leopard, there are two house elves further away in that room. If there is an emergency, they will use Apparition to take Harry away as soon as possible.

In addition, Fox also goes over to watch several times a day.

 You must know that when he first learned Occlumency, he did not have such luxurious preparations, so Harry just had fun secretly.
