After recording the key points of the second level of the Heart Locking Technique, Ryan asked Babu to take him back to the kitchen.

After thanking the house elf, Ryan quietly returned to the dormitory.He had to take the time to sleep to avoid dozing off during class during the day.

Fortunately, the biological clock developed through 11 years of regular life was strong enough, and Ryan woke up early in the morning.

He yawned a little tiredly and stayed in bed for a while before going to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to take a shower.

Even with the convenient life magic of "cleaning up," Ryan still prefers to soak in water and let the humid air completely awaken his brain.

Around 07:30, Ryan came out of the bathroom refreshed and returned to his room.

Ernie next door was still snoring, and Ryan threw a "Silent Silence" over to quiet the room. This was one of the requirements for the initial practice of Occlumency.

He closed his eyes and recalled the feeling when he was sorted yesterday. He quickly put his thoughts away and filled his mind with the names of dishes.

The next step was to gradually empty his mind. Ryan practiced slowly and arduously according to the records in the book, but chaotic thoughts kept breaking into his mind, making him uncontrollably anxious.

A quiet environment is not to eliminate interference. On the contrary, it is easiest for people to disperse their thoughts when they are alone in absolute silence.

Finally, after driving Granger's front teeth out of his brain, Ryan reluctantly entered the second level of the mind-locking technique.

If someone uses Legilimency to read Ryan's mind at this time, he will hear layers of "steamed lamb" far and near.

But trying to drive "Steamed Lamb" out of his brain is far beyond Ryan's current ability.

Therefore, Ryan is always a small step away from the second level of the Heart Locking Technique, but this step is precisely the most difficult step to take.

"What is this? A half-step of locking the heart, or the first level of perfection?" Ryan thought happily, no longer maintaining the state of Occlumency.

It was almost eight o'clock at this time, and people were getting up one after another in the dormitory.Ryan opened the door curtain, just as Justin came out of his room.

"It's really terrible." Justin said weakly, "There's no part of my body that doesn't hurt now..."

"It's just a normal muscle reaction. After all, I climbed the mountain for so long yesterday." Ryan said, "You can go to the bathroom and take a hot bath. It will make you feel much better."

"I'll go right away!" Justin returned to the dormitory without hesitation to get his change of clothes.

"I'll bring you whatever breakfast you need." Ryan stood at his door and said, "Also, you can put the changed clothes in the basket and someone will send them to be washed."

"Thank you Ryan, just bring me a regular milk bread!"

Ryan nodded and left the dormitory.

There were already many students sitting in the auditorium, and from time to time, owls would fly in from the small window high up and drop letters in front of the students. Of course, feathers and bird droppings would also fall along with the letters.

Ryan did not plan to eat in this environment. He first went to the prefect to get a few class schedules, and then carefully looked at the food collection point in the front row. After discovering strange yellow-green traces and unknown feathers, he made a decisive decision Go directly to the kitchen to get something to eat.

The students at Hogwarts did not suffer from widespread food poisoning or cryptococcal pneumonia. I don’t know if it is because they are in good health or because the school hospital is strong enough.

Rumbling about the school's poor hygiene management in his mind, Ryan stood in front of the still life painting at the door of the kitchen.

"Hey Franklin, are you still wondering about the entrance to the kitchen?"

A familiar voice came, and Ryan saw Bernard and Cedric coming out of the common room together and saying hello to him.

"I was about to go in." Ryan scratched the pear on the painting, "I just saw bird droppings and feathers in the breakfast in the auditorium."

"That's really terrible." Bernard sighed, and then said in surprise, "Have you cracked the kitchen mechanism?"

"It's not complicated, senior." Ryan said casually, "Look, there is no seam in the middle of this painting, which means it is not a double-open door. Generally, the handle and door lock are always installed on the left side of a single-open door. Or on the right side. There are only scattered fruits on the left side of this painting, but there is a conspicuous big pear on the right side. In addition, you said yesterday that first-year students can also enter, which proves that there are no complicated mechanisms, passwords or unlocking spells, so I So I tried to touch it with my hands.”

"You are so amazing!" It was the first time that Bernard saw such a clear-minded little wizard. When he was still in the second grade, he found the kitchen under Cedric's light. "I don't think you want to go to Ravenclaw." It’s such a shame Law.”

Cedric nodded in agreement. He felt inexplicably guilty when he saw Ryan. They happened to meet him today and he planned to take a closer look at the little wizard.

"Let's go into the kitchen," Cedric said.

"Of course, I don't want to eat food contaminated by owls."

As usual, the elves were screaming in panic, and they came out of the corner only after seeing Ryan and the others.

"Good morning, Mr. Digory, Pearson and Franklin." The old elf from yesterday bowed to them.

"Hello, Barb, can you prepare some breakfast for us?" Cedric asked.

"My pleasure, gentlemen. What would you like to eat?"

Cedric and Bernard asked for some bread.Ryan was more particular. He first explained to the elves how to make soft-boiled eggs, then ordered a piece of veal steak, lettuce and pepper sauce, and made a sandwich in a carefree manner.

Bernard immediately felt that the bread in his mouth no longer tasted good, and he shamelessly asked for the same.

"Junior, you are amazing!" Bernard bit into the sandwich and almost shed tears of emotion.

"Mr. Franklin, can we accept this recipe?" Barb asked fearfully.

As a house elf, it was obviously disrespectful to ask a wizard for something, but he was really hoping for new recipes.You know, the recipes currently used at Hogwarts are still the recipes left by Hufflepuff 1000 years ago.

"Of course, no problem. I hope everyone can eat delicious food." Ryan nodded without hesitation. Using something as technical as a sandwich to exchange for the favorability of the elves couldn't be more cost-effective.

Ryan was still complaining in his heart. Sandwiches are obviously a local dish in England, but they have not developed any delicious attributes. Britain is indeed the brightest country in the dark culinary world.

"You are so generous." Barb cried with joy. "Barb apologized for his doubts about Mr. Franklin yesterday. Barb knew that Mr. Franklin must be a kind-hearted Hufflepuff..."

"Ahem, there's no need to mention that matter again." Ryan noticed that the two seniors were looking at him more and more strangely, and quickly interrupted Barb, "In addition, there are actually other ways to make the sandwich I just mentioned. Various foods can be added in the middle of the slice of bread, such as ham and cheese, sausage and tomato, apple roasted pork, cucumber and chicken breast, fish sauce and parsley..."

Gu, Cedric swallowed, put down the bread in his hand, decided to follow his desire, and ordered a sandwich.

"Franklin, I have something to discuss with you." Cedric said hesitantly, "Bernard, can you avoid it for the time being..."

"Oh, Cedric, you're like this again. Why do you have to say something behind my back?" Bernard looked like he was about to cry. "Are we no longer good brothers?"

Cedric had no choice but to let Bernard, who was shameless, ask anxiously: "Franklin, I am very concerned about what happened yesterday. I want to know, can you really see through other people's minds?"

"No, you are overthinking, senior. Cold reading is just a psychological technique developed by Muggles." Ryan's words made Cedric relax a little, but the next sentence made his heart rise again, " This technology can only roughly judge a person's emotions through expressions and movements, such as whether he is excited, whether he is lying, etc..."

"Are you serious?" Bernard's eyes widened in excitement.

"Yes, Senior Cedric's gaze is so intense that I can't help but pay attention to the senior sister in his sight." Ryan spread his hands and said, "Senior, you are so disappointing." mean.

"Who is it?" Bernard grinned and smiled strangely, "We are all our own people here, let's talk."

Cedric's heart clenched in his throat. He wanted to hear Ryan say a wrong name, but he was also afraid of being caught and wanted to block Ryan's mouth.

"Is this really good?" Ryan's hesitation moved Cedric. "Senior Diggory, what do you think?"

"Oh, tell me." Cedric finally gave up resistance and waved his hand weakly, "Bernard will eventually find a chance to ask you alone."

Bernard had an expression that said, "You've actually seen through it." He hooked Cedric's shoulders triumphantly: "Don't worry, my Diggory, brother, I have a tight mouth."

Ryan glanced at Bernard suspiciously and said slowly: "Senior Diggory has really good taste. She is the jewel of Ravenclaw's second year. I think Senior Diggory must like her bright eyes. Then Just like the deep 'night sky', I must also be in love with her flowing long hair, like the wisps of breeze in the 'summer night', she is the most 'unique' one in Ravenclaw..."

"Thank you Ryan, please stop talking." Cedric's face turned red. He had understood Ryan's hint and secretly remembered what Ryan had just said in his heart, planning to write it into a love letter in the future.

Bernard was confused: "What riddle are you playing?"

"Oh, no, I have to bring breakfast to my friend." Ryan jumped up and looked anxious, "Babu, can you prepare some bread and milk for me?"

"No problem, Mr. Franklin." Barb immediately instructed an elf to get breakfast.

While Bernard was hesitant to speak, Ryan took the packed paper bag and walked happily towards the kitchen door. As he walked, he teased:

"Senior Digory, hesitation is often not a good choice. Good girls are in high demand."

Ryan turned around at the door of the kitchen and said with a smile: "One last tip for you, senior. The Quidditch team test will begin in the second week, and second-year students are eligible to sign up... This is a rare opportunity. To take advantage of."
