The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Although Occlumency is called closure, in fact, its most basic form is to clear the brain. In other words, you need not to think, not to remember, not to feel. In order to prevent Legilimency Master Nian feels his own emotions and thoughts.”

Link continued, "It is worth mentioning that when I talk about clearing the brain, I do not mean being in a daze. In fact, there is an essential difference between the two things. The latter has no protective effect at all against the Legilimency master, while the former Not only can it defend against Legilimency, but it can also bring oneself into a state of near-absolute sanity, which can increase the efficiency of work and study in a certain sense.

The more advanced Occlumency only closes one's own specific thoughts, emotions and memories, thus creating an impeccable "illusion" for the Legilimency master.

Being able to do this means you have reached the level of a master of Occlumency.

Of course, this realm is actually not important to you.

Especially you, Harry, you just need to take the first step now and empty your mind.

I sincerely remind you, don’t think this is easy.

In addition to being able to resist Legilimency, Occlumency is also very effective in defending against the Imperius Curse and Veritaserum.

Just by looking at these effects, you should understand that if you want to learn Occlumency, you must have extremely strong willpower and a high degree of mental and emotional self-discipline! "

When Link finished speaking, Harry and Ron in front of him were already stunned.

Even Newland and Skeffen were no exception.

The difference between the two groups was that Harry and Ron simply didn't understand what Link was saying.

Newland and Si Gefen were shocked by the amazing effect of Occlumency.

In comparison, Emily, Cedric and John were relatively calm.

Thanks to Link, they had actually already been exposed to knowledge about Occlumency.

It's a pity that they don't have the talent in this area.

Link's half-smiling gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and finally landed on the face of Hermione, who looked lonely.

He grinned and said:

"Don't be discouraged, Hermione. Occlumency is a very rare and niche spell. Although it is indeed very powerful, it is not in the teaching catalog at Hogwarts.

All knowledge about it is included in the restricted area of ​​​​Hogwarts, so even if you reach the NEWT level, you will not have access to this knowledge at all. "

Hearing this, Hermione's expression recovered a little, she took a deep breath and said:

"Thank you, Link. I think I have a general understanding of Occlumency. Maybe you can tell us the detailed practice plan next."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Link, Emily and others became weird.

They all looked at each other, and then Link spread his hands and said:

"That's all there is to Occlumency."

Hermione frowned and said with some uncertainty:

"You... what did you say?"

"I said, what I just talked about is all Occlumency. The so-called Occlumency is to use your strong willpower and emotional management ability to force yourself not to think, not to remember, not to feel. So. Once you get there, you'll be done."

Link continued to explain helplessly, "This is completely an idealistic metaphysical operation. As for the use of magic power, this is an issue that only masters of Occlumency need to consider.

As for the first stage, I think I have described it very clearly.

If you do what I say, it will be considered a success. "

This time, not only the Harry trio, but also Newland and Si Geffen looked confused.

The scene was silent for nearly a minute. Then Si Gefen frowned and took a step forward and said:

"Sir Foley, you...are you kidding? This is too..."

"It's hard to describe this feeling, right?" Link shook his head and said, "I had this feeling when I first started learning Occlumency. Do you think Occlumency is difficult? His The basic principle is terribly simple. But you want to say it's easy, right? You can't do those things that are easily described in words.

This is why I always say that learning Occlumency requires talent.

This special magic spell is almost within reach for those with talent. In history, there have even been cases of direct success on the first try.

But for people without talent, no matter how hard you study and work, it will have no effect.

If you must give me some training advice, then try the training methods I used to do. "

As he spoke, Link casually waved the wand in his hand, and several beds appeared in front of everyone. "Lie down on it, then close your eyes and slowly empty your mind. This state is very similar to being in a daze, but it is fundamentally different!

Don’t ask me what the difference is between them. In short, you will understand when you actually do it. The feeling cannot be described in human language.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must not fall asleep. "

After Link finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to everyone.

Ron was the first to throw himself on the bed, and carefully covered himself with the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt.

Of all the people, he was the least stressed because he never expected to learn Occlumency, especially after listening to Link explain it.

Now this is a trial and experience event for him.

The process for the rest of the people to lie down on the bed was more difficult.

Especially Harry and Hermione.

The expressions on their faces were extremely ugly.

Because they seemed to understand what Link said just now, but they didn't seem to understand anything.

Link and Emily looked expectantly at Harry and the others as they lay down and began to try to clear their minds.

5 minute, 10 minutes...

Ron's breathing became steady and rhythmic for the first time.

Then, a gentle purr sounded in the Room of Requirement.

"puff!"

John couldn't help but laugh.

He knew that he would most likely fall asleep while practicing Occlumency.

But he really didn't expect that Ron only lasted less than half an hour before falling asleep.

In a sense, this can be considered a talent, right?

After all, not everyone can have this kind of sleep quality.

But when it comes to practicing Occlumency, this talent has the opposite effect.

This not only affected Ron himself, but the rhythmless grunting also affected the other trainers in the Room of Requirement.

With the sound of snoring, Harry and others frowned almost at the same time.

They were originally stuck in a tangled state between emptying their minds and falling asleep directly, and it was extremely painful. Now that Ron was messing with them, their originally clear brains instantly became chaotic again.

Hermione opened her eyes first, glared at Ron angrily, then lay back down and tried again.

Next came Harry.

He stood up and held his forehead, shook his head in despair and said:

"Link, I can't clear my mind at all. Closing my eyes doesn't help me at all. Instead, it makes other perceptions sharper.

Just when I was trying to empty my mind, the sounds that were usually so subtle that I wouldn't pay attention to them kept pouring into my brain, like black holes, attracting all my attention.

I dare say that this method is definitely not suitable for me. Link, do you have any other methods? "

Hearing this, John and Cedric looked at each other, with a feeling of sympathy flashing in their eyes.

In fact, they had the exact same feeling as Harry when they tried to train before.

The age of sixteen or seventeen is the age when a person's mind is most active. If a person of this age wants to meditate, he must go through years of training or special experiences.

However, the brain emptying that Occlumency pursues is even more terrifying than meditation in terms of difficulty alone.

It was only after they tried it themselves that they truly understood what a BT Link was.

You must know that Link had learned the art of Occlumency a few years ago, and has now been successfully promoted to a master of Occlumency.

This kind of talent is simply unimaginable.

The smile on Link's face slowly disappeared after hearing this. He stared at the somewhat uneasy Harry and sighed:

"You should know that the method I just taught you is the safest and most secure, and it is also an essential process for learning Occlumency.

If you insist, I can try to use Legilimency on you, so that you can slowly become familiar with the feeling of your brain being invaded, thereby training your instinct to resist.

But this approach is completely counterproductive.

It may give you the ability to resist brain invasion in a short period of time, but it does not mean that you have truly learned Occlumency.

If you still want to become a master of Occlumency in the future, you will have to work twice as hard. "

Hearing what Link said, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

He said somewhat happily:

"Just use this method! To be honest, I have no interest in becoming a master of Occlumency. I just want to protect my brain as soon as possible."

"Then, as you wish." Link raised his wand with a complicated expression, "Attention, Harry! I need you to eliminate distracting thoughts and put aside all emotions. If you are ready, move the right hand index finger."

Harry quickly closed his eyes as Link said, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly raised his index finger.

" Legilimency."

hum-

Harry clearly misjudged himself.

He originally felt that he was very well prepared.

But in fact, when Link uttered that spell, all the defenses he had built collapsed in an instant.

He only felt a buzzing in his head, and then the office shook and disappeared in front of his eyes. Pictures flashed through his mind like a movie, and he could no longer see the things around him.

When he was five years old, he watched Dudley riding on his new red bicycle accompanied by his parents, and his heart was filled with jealousy...

When he was nine years old, he was driven into a tree by the dog next door. Instead of trying to save him, the Dursley family laughed under the lawn...

Entering Hogwarts, he put on the Sorting Hat, but heard the other party say that he should go to Slytherin...

Qiu Zhang...Qiu Zhang approached him in his dream...

No!No!You can't watch this! ?

As soon as this scene appeared, Harry became extremely panicked.

The strong emotional fluctuations made the scene in front of him quickly become chaotic.

Following a violent shaking, Harry felt a sharp pain in his knee.

The Room of Requirement is back.

He found that he had fallen off the bed and hit one knee hard on the ground.

He looked up and saw Link looking at him expressionlessly.

Emily and the others around Link were all laughing non-stop.

John laughed the hardest.

Just by looking at the way he was holding Cedric, you could tell that he was laughing so hard that he could hardly stand.

As for Cedric.

The moment his eyes met, he smiled and nodded towards Harry.

This made Harry's face flush, and he lowered his head guiltily.

Another long time passed.

It wasn't until the Room of Requirement became quiet again that Harry weakly said to Link:

"Did you see it all?"

"Well, I'd love to say no, but the truth is I did...well, I saw it all."

Link raised his eyebrows helplessly, and after speaking, he glanced at Cedric with a very strange look.

This made Harry despair instantly.

He didn't think that with Link and Cedric's relationship, Link would hide this from Cedric.

If Cedric knew that he liked Qiu Zhang and was even fantasizing about those nasty things in his mind...

OMG!

Harry grabbed his hair in agony, and the strong sense of shame almost drove him crazy!

But at this moment he heard Link continue to say:

"What you are worried about will not actually happen. That guy is actually a very good person. And, as a matter of professional ethics, I will erase this memory of mine."

As he spoke, Link pressed the tip of his staff against his temple.

When he took his wand away, a strand of silver was attached to the tip, like thick spider silk.

Link tore it off with a swipe of his hand, letting it gently fall from the tip of the staff and slowly disintegrate into the air.

Harry almost cried when he saw this scene.

He thanked Link sincerely.

If it weren't for his lack of literary attainments, he would even want to use the most elegant sentences in the world to write a hymn for Link's noble character!

"Actually, as your first attempt, you did very well." Link continued, "Especially in the end you broke free from my Occlumency. Although I don't remember what I saw at the time, you exploded at that time. The emotions that come out are really intense. From this point of view, you still have a certain talent."

Listening to Link's story, Harry felt extremely hot inside.

He had been immersed in the tremendous pressure that he might be controlled by Voldemort and used as a spy all day today.

And now, he finally sees hope!

"call--"

He breathed a long sigh of relief, adjusted his breathing and said to Link:

"Thank you, Link, let's continue!"

Link pursed his lips and said:

"Are you sure? Being invaded repeatedly in a short period of time will put a heavy burden on you."

"I'm sure!" Harry said firmly, "I'm willing to pay any price to learn Occlumency!"

Hearing this, Link nodded and raised his wand again.

"Legislasia!"
