Together [HP]

Jacqueline has been depressed lately, very depressed.It is true that the resurrection of the mysterious man has changed everyone's life and mood, but this is not the reason for Jacqueline's depression.

First and foremost, the first reason was Miss Hermione Granger, the know-it-all from Gryffindor who had promised to write her a letter.Of course, that's not to say that Hermione didn't write to her. Before July, they corresponded almost every week, or more simply, called her.But after July, that Miss Granger seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Haig couldn't find her, and there were no letters or phone calls.Of course, it is impossible for Miss Granger to disappear from the world. Jacqueline asked the people in the Ministry of Magic that traces of Granger were still there, which meant that she was at least alive.And her parents didn't call the police. Of course, she went to the police station in London with the address they got through their connections.If the police officer hadn't repeatedly assured her that no alarm had been received at that address, she might have just run over to confirm it herself.

So, why did a Miss Granger whose life was not in danger stop writing to her?That's what she meant by 'forever'!

The second thing that depressed her was Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner of the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade Village.That's right, it's hers, the headmaster who made the plan to allow the mysterious man to be resurrected, Albus Dumbledore's own brother.During this period of time, he came here every now and then, and within 5 minutes of talking with Yuna in the dining room, the two of them would go up to the study on the third floor and shut Jacqueline out.

They stay in there for twenty or ten minutes at the most, and Aberforth will come out cursing, saying he will never come again, and go out, but in less than ten days, he will definitely come again appears, and repeats what happened last time.At the very beginning, Jacqueline could lie on the door and listen to the corner of the wall, but after being discovered by Yuna, Yuna directly cast an anti-disturbance spell.Then, Jacqueline discovered that she was not the only one in the family with a strong curiosity, because her uncle William always happened to walk through the study inadvertently.Therefore, Yuna built a copper wall and an iron wall for the study.

Judging from what Jacqueline heard here and there, Aberforth seems to be trying to persuade Yuna to join an organization called the Order of the Phoenix, which is absolutely futile, because the Graham family will not listen to anyone Yes, never.

The third thing is why Jacqueline is now moaning and sighing in the room where she used to study on the third floor. Before Aberforth and her mother entered the study, Yuna told her very seriously, " Wait for me in the study room."

It probably wouldn't be a bad thing, after all, she's been well-behaved these days, and if she wants to be punished, she should go directly to the basement to cut herbs.And if you want to give her a small treat, then you should go to the library instead of here.She also came in this room when she was learning pronunciation and writing.

"I'm just proposing cooperation! Damn it." Aberforth's voice yelled outside the door, and Jacqueline couldn't help but stand up and put her ear on the door. "I'm not asking you to duel with the mysterious man."

"Our family doesn't work for other people." Una's calm voice came from outside. "Albus can do what he thinks he should do, and I will do what I should do. Even if our purpose is the same, It doesn't mean I have to listen to him."

"I wasted so much time and you didn't hear a word!" Aberforth yelled. "My saintly brother said..."

"We can discuss." Yuna snorted coldly, "but obviously, when he made his plan a few years ago, maybe earlier, he didn't take our family into consideration. He doesn't need me to give He's giving advice, he's just trying to use us, Aberforth."

Yuna became a little impatient, "And I don't agree with what he is doing now. I don't think losing the chairman of the International Federation of Magicians and the chief magician status of the Wizengamot will help him in any way. If you want If there is no new explanation, I still have something to do with Jacqueline, and she is about to come of age."

"That foolish bastard Fudge, he's going to have some bad luck someday!" said Aberforth viciously. "I'll tell my brother what you mean. Do you mind if I give her a present?"

"As long as she likes, you know the way out." Without warning, Yuna pushed open the door and walked in. Jacqueline was unprepared for a moment, so she just stood there dumbfounded.

"It seems that you heard the conversation between me and Aberforth?" Yuna glanced at Jacqueline standing behind the door, walked to the only mahogany table in the room and sat down, poured herself a glass Tea.

"The headmaster lost the status of the chairman of the International Federation of Magicians and the chief magician of the Wizengamot?" Jacqueline asked a little surprised.

"He pretty much went against the Ministry publicly," said Una nonchalantly, "and gave a speech about You-Know-Who's back. They also wanted to take back his Order of Merlin, [-]st Class, but I told them that if they To do that, we have to take everything back from our family."

"Fudge's reaction was even more intense than we imagined. His power has made him so inflated that he can't see the direction. If a person has been in a high position for a long time, it is easy to lose sight of this." Yuna took a sip of tea , moistened his throat, "Before we get down to business, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Then who will replace the principal?" Jacqueline walked to the chair in front of Yuna and sat down. "There is still next semester, will the Ministry of Magic interfere with the school?"

"The chairman of the International Federation of Magicians is now an old man who can only lie in bed, and the Wizengamot's position as the chief magician will be temporarily replaced by me." Yuna paused as she spoke, and she straightened her hands Hair, "As for the next semester, I can only say that if Fudge once intends to intervene in the teaching of the school, it will have no effect except to hasten his own downfall. Are there any other problems?"

Jacqueline shook her head.

"Very good." Yuna stood up, walked in front of Jacqueline, and leaned on the table, "You will be 16 this year, Jacqueline. Although in the wizarding world, you will be 17 years old You are considered an adult, but you are an adult in our family. On your birthday, you had the right to choose whether to accept being the future heir of the Graham family, but since you are the only one..."

Yuna stopped when she said this, and looked at her condescendingly, "After becoming the heir, in addition to taking on your responsibilities, you also have the right to enter the secret room of our family. Every family has its own secrets. And we will use all the means we think we need to keep these secrets from others."

"So, before you enter the secret room, you must learn how to protect these secrets, not only our family's secrets, but sometimes, it may only belong to you. First, can you tell me which ones can know the other party’s secret methods.”

"Veritaserum," Jacqueline said quickly, and then she added, "And the feathers of the Soundbird."

Yuna nodded approvingly, "Very well, I guess you haven't forgotten about Pete and the incident at the end of last semester. I'm glad you were there, because it will allow you to better understand the effect of Veritaserum. Spit The true potion can indeed make people tell the truth, but the other party must ask the right questions, and its preparation is very difficult. There is another method, although it does not need to be brewed for several months, it also requires After a long period of practice, that is Legilimency."

"Legiliency?" Jacqueline asked curiously, "What does that mean?"

"It allows the spellcaster to read the other person's feelings and memories at that moment. People who know Legilimency can study other people's minds in certain situations and give correct interpretations. Wizards who are really good at Legilimency, they No spells are required to use Legilimency, and they can almost always spot when someone is lying to them."

"Because when a person is lying, there will be conflicts between his feelings and memories. Therefore, when the other party is not vigilant or vulnerable, Legilimency will become easier. Another point is that eye contact has no effect on Legilimency. Mindfulness is very important, it can make the other party's emotions fluctuate, thereby awakening related emotions and memories." Yuna said.

"But at the same time, its shortcomings are also here. It can't let the caster see the memory he wants to see. Just like if you are in fear now, and I use Legilimency on you, I am likely to Can't see the memories that make you happy. But," Yuna added, "yet, I can tell if you're lying. Before we go any further, do you have any questions?"

"Yes, Mom." Jacqueline nodded, "What about the three unforgivables? I mean, can using the Imperius Curse or the Cruciatus Curse make others tell the truth?"

Yuna nodded in satisfaction, "The Imperius Curse." She paused, "First of all, as long as you have enough willpower, you can resist this curse. Secondly, its main function is to make the opponent lose their minds, and it is more inclined to Control the other party, rather than make the other party tell the truth. And the Cruciatus Curse, it tends to torture the other party, so similarly, as long as the will is strong enough, the caster cannot get any news."

"Then Mom, is Legilimency difficult to learn?" Jacqueline continued to ask.

Yuna smiled slightly, "No, Jacqueline, it's very easy. Besides, you don't have to learn it. What you have to learn is not how to resist it, it's also very simple, just learn to use Occlumency, and then control your emotions. And Occlumency has a downside, it may not let the caster see if you're lying, but when you're being fed Veritaserum, two things happen."

"The first is that you have successfully sealed your memory, but if the other party asks the right question, you will not be able to answer anything. The second is that you fail, and you still let your secret out Come out. So, what I'm going to teach you today is memory modification."

"Memory modification?" Jacqueline frowned, "Can I modify my memory at will?"

"Don't think of it as a simple matter, Jacqueline." Yuna said seriously, "Before we delved into it, countless ancestors were tortured to commit suicide just because they could see some What happened or happened in the past. And even after practicing the memory modification technique, most of them were still tortured inhumanely, but luckily they kept their secrets.” Yuna went on to say, "Practicing memory modification, the most important thing is that you know what it is."

"Think of your brain as a room, and your memories are the furniture in this room. When someone uses Legilimency or Veritaserum on you, they have permission to enter this room, and they Being able to see your memory. And if you're trying to lie, like trying to hide a piece of furniture, it's obvious that you'll be caught."

"Occlumency is like adding a protective spell to this room. The other party can only see specific furniture, but if the protective spell is too weak, the other party can still find it. And because of such a protective spell, the entire room It doesn't look that harmonious, and the other party will always know that there is a problem with this house."

"As for the memory modification technique, it's like digging a secret room under this house, and then you hide all the furniture that you don't want others to see, and in the original position, you have to use another similar piece of furniture. Furniture instead. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jacqueline rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly. "I'm sorry, Mom. I still don't quite understand how this memory modification works."

"It doesn't matter." Yuna nodded, and picked up the teacup on the table, "Suppose your brain is this room, Jacqueline, and your memory is every piece of furniture in this room. And this teacup, just A fragment of it, a fragment that you don't want others to see. You dug a secret chamber under this room and put this cup in there."

Yuna said and hid the teacup, "If you don't do anything, people who come into this room will find that there is something missing in this room. They may not know exactly what is missing, but the whole room It doesn't look as harmonious anymore. To keep them from finding out, you make a new teacup, similar but not necessarily the exact same teacup."

Yuna waved her wand in the air, and a white ceramic teacup with patterns appeared out of nowhere in the place of the taken cup. "Well," Yuna looked at the teacup with a frown, "maybe I shouldn't use the teacup as an example, the teacups that are not in the same set look more suspicious." She waved her wand at the teacup, making it disappear. "Stand up, Jacqueline, we can use this chair you're sitting on to repeat the example."

"I see what you mean, mother," said Jacqueline hastily, and she didn't want the example to go on forever.

"You really understand?" Yuna frowned slightly, and put the teacup back in its original place, "It's very important to fully understand what you are going to do, Jacqueline."

"Yes, Mom," Jacqueline nodded, standing up, "I think I understand."

"Very good. Then from today, three days a week, one hour at a time, you have to come to this room from two to three in the afternoon, and I will personally train you. Three hours a week, that's not a lot of time , but I want you to give it your all and you'll need time to recover, it's a very tiring exercise."

"In the beginning, I will use Legilimency for you. Don't think about resistance, let alone how to change your memory. I need you to do one thing, to feel, to feel when someone else What it's like to use Legilimency on you. Got it?"

Jacqueline nodded.

"Okay then," Yuna pointed at Jacqueline with her wand, "look into my eyes, I'm coming, three, two, one. Legilimency."

This feeling is very strange. Once again, Jacqueline feels as if her soul is floating out of her body. All her memories seem to be compiled into a book, and Yuna is now in her mind. Flip through this book.

Her panic when Freck raised his paw high in front of her at the age of three;

When she was six years old, she was scared when she was almost thrown to the ground by a unicorn;

She stayed in the library and kept copying the ancient runes, worrying about the recitation tomorrow;

On her tenth birthday, she hid in bed, wondering if she could receive an admission letter from Hogwarts;

Her panic when she jumped from the trapdoor guarded by the three-headed Fluffy

; the anger and panic when people from other colleges called them murderers;

That icy feeling when first encountering a dementor.In front of her, the vague church and the milky white figure seemed to appear again...

The author has something to say:

I really don't know if this is the case, but because Harry's memories of being seen back then were scattered, so it was set like this
