time at hogwarts

"Then just think what I said is false. Professor Quirrell doesn't have any problems." McGoss returned without thinking.

Snape didn't expect him to say this, and looked at him with a mocking smile on his lips.

Magos had no choice but to ask him angrily how he could get rid of the idea of ​​informing Dumbledore.He just said this angrily, but Snape actually sneered and said it was not impossible.

"Remember the four tasks I mentioned last time? You rejected the fourth one and only accepted two. If you accept the last one, I can consider your suggestion." He looked at him coldly and said.

"The last one?" Magos repeated.The only mission he remembered not accepting was for him to use Legilimency on himself.He glanced at Snape with an ugly face. He had too many secrets on him. He didn't know if all his secrets would be exposed after being Legiliminated. He didn't dare to take the risk, so he went He agreed to the other two for the first time, but he didn't expect that he would take on this task again this time.

"Professor, why do you insist that I accept all your tasks?" Magos asked unwillingly.

"Mr. Will, please be clear. I am not forcing you to do anything or agree to any conditions. These are just exchanges. Everything has a price. When you need me to promise you something, you must You also have to promise me something." Snape said with a matter-of-fact expression.

Magos lowered his head and his expression changed several times before he raised his head, "Professor Snape, everyone has their own secrets. Although I am young, I am no exception. There are some things that I don't want anyone to know. I think even if you are as powerful as Principal Dumbledore, you will have some secrets that you don’t want others to know, so your mission is really too difficult for me."

"Oh? You mean you refused?" Snape's expression was strange, as if he was unexpected and yet expected.

"Sorry Professor, if you still insist on informing Principal Dumbledore, I can't help it. I have tried my best. If Professor Quirrell blames me, I can tell him that I have tried hard." After that, he was about to leave the underground. office.

"Why do you think using Legilimency means reading memories?" Snape suddenly asked.

Magos looked at him in confusion. If it wasn't for reading memories, what was the use of this spell?

"You talked about Occlumency last time. It seems that you have learned a few spells. However, you are still just like learning potions. You think you are right after just a little knowledge." Snape mocked unceremoniously.

"Professor, I don't understand what you mean." Although Magos is not the kind of pervert in online novels who can dissect the other person's heart after hearing the other person say a few words, Snape can still understand such an obvious hint. , I didn’t do anything wrong and just left angrily without listening to anything.

"The book explains that Legilimency is about extracting the other person's memories and emotions, and Occlumency is about sealing one's own contradictory feelings and memories of lies." Snape pointedly explained the meaning of the two spells in an emotionless tone. .

"Yes Professor, isn't it?"

"Yes, what the book says is correct, but do you really think that these magic spells that require mental power are that simple, just for spying and defense?" Snape did not hide his sarcasm towards Magos' ignorance. "Just like black magic has extraordinary lethality, the white magic you know is not that simple." He stopped at this point and looked at Magos calmly.Magos was hearing the key point and was full of curiosity about what he said about 'not that simple'. He was not stupid enough to know why Snape stopped suddenly.

"Professor Snape, if Legilimency is not for the purpose of seeing other people's memories as you said, I agree with your mission." He thought for a moment and said.

Snape glanced at him mockingly, "Spiritual power, or energy. I think you are familiar with this term."

"Yes, Professor, but what does these curses have to do with mental power?" Magos still had some questions.

"It's like if you keep using a spell, what will happen to you if you use it for a long time." Snape was a little impatient with his clumsiness.

"Being more proficient, can those magic spells improve mental power?" Magos was excited.

"Improve mental strength? What are you thinking about?

? "Snape interrupted his fantasy mercilessly. "Just like those spells become more proficient after being used for a long time, if you often use Legilimency to exercise your mental power, you will become more familiar with this spell. It has stronger resistance. Of course, it needs to be trained with Occlumency, otherwise a mistake may turn you into an idiot.However, although it cannot substantially increase your mental strength, it can save your life in some cases. "

"Help?"

"What would happen if you were in a duel with a wizard and he hit you with Legilimency first? Don't think I'm kidding, I have no interest in that. Many dark wizards' favorite pastime is to mix in dark magic. With a Legilimency." Magos couldn't believe what Snape said. According to what he said, the Legilimency spell is almost equivalent to the control skills in the game such as dizziness or fear. Yes.

"Of course, this first requires you to have a strong understanding and familiarity with this curse, otherwise there will be no big difference between whether it will work or not."

"Then Professor, what is the role of Occlumency? It doesn't just cooperate with Legilimency." Hearing this, Magos felt that since he could resist Legilimency with his body, wouldn't Occlumency not work? Did it have any effect?

"Ignorance." Snape glanced coldly, "The significance of Occlumency is more important than Legilimency. Do you think there are no other spells for the brain besides Legilimency? The Oblivion Curse, There are many such curses, such as the Imperius Curse, and these curses cannot be trained. No idiot would use these curses on themselves to train their resistance. So the most important thing about Occlumency is here. Remember , as long as you face a hostile wizard, especially a dark wizard, you must have used Occlumency."

"Can Occlumency resist the Imperius Curse?" This was the first time Magos knew that Occlumency was so powerful. He thought it was just a useless skill that was unfortunately discarded and tasteless.Hearing what Snape said, it felt like it was a necessary skill to resist the opponent's control skills, and he suddenly became very interested in this curse.

"Of course ordinary Occlumency won't work, but it won't be possible if you have my training." Snape looked at him with a half-smile and said.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he had an inexplicable feeling that Snape had bad intentions, but after his current understanding of the curse, even if he had bad intentions, he would not give up this opportunity.

But before Magos could express to him that he wanted to learn now, Snape let him leave and asked him to wait until he had made the two potions before starting.

After bidding farewell to Snape, Magos went to the school hospital first, but Madam Pomfrey did not let him in. He could only take a look from a distance, and left when he saw that Harry and Malfoy were still sleeping. lounge.

Lying on the sofa in the lounge, listening to Ron and the others repeating endlessly about the Quidditch match just now, he thought about Snape's words. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. In the past, he had always used the novels in his memory to Looking at the magic in this world, I suddenly discovered that magic may not be that simple. Maybe a simple spell in the novel will have an unusual meaning.

"Magos, Magos." Ron shouted Magos twice before he came back to reality from his thoughts.

"What's wrong Ron?" He asked confusedly after he had just recovered.

Ron looked at him speechlessly. He could be in a daze even if they were making so much noise. This skill was indeed amazing.

"Fred just told me to come find you later. Do you want to meet them here or go to the secret room?" Ron now showed an unhappy expression whenever he mentioned his two brothers.

"Let's go to the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry and Malfoy get better, let them take us to Hogsmeade to celebrate."

"Hogsmeade?" Ron's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since he saw the secret passage leading to the outside on the Marauder's Map, he had always wanted to try it, but Harry and Magos didn't agree. Without thinking about it, I didn't expect that Magos actually suggested going to Hogsmeade this time.

After chatting with Ron for a few more words, he left the lounge and prepared to go to the Chamber of Secrets to discuss going to Hogsmeade with the twins.When he reached the fifth floor, a Hufflepuff senior stopped him.Said Professor Quirrell wanted to see him for something.

Magos was startled for a moment, and then realized that it was Professor Quirrell who called him over. He didn't expect him to show up again...
