Dobby didn't show up again for the next week, and Umbridge didn't show any signs of knowing that there was a rampaging giant living in the Forbidden Forest. Life seemed to be very peaceful, and Harry couldn't help but gradually feel relieved.

Maybe... Umbridge just wanted to go for a walk in the Forbidden Forest?Although the idea seemed wishful thinking, Harry sincerely prayed to Merlin that it would come true.

What also made Harry a little happy was that he seemed to have a knack for Occlumency. He almost succeeded in resisting Snape's intrusion several times.But just barely, Snape finally broke through his defenses - which gave him a reason to continue to demote Harry's brains for nothing.

Harry made up his mind to defend successfully tonight, to see what Snape had to say.

They stood face to face in the cellar now, and Snape slowly raised his wand.

"Legislasia!"

Will, the key is will, Harry kept saying silently, and he had been practicing for a week in order to succeed.

Snape's eyes began to darken, and Harry felt dizzy—

"Except your weapons!"

Harry tried his best to stabilize his mind and shouted the spell with all his willpower. He gritted his teeth fiercely and met Snape's sight without dodging.

Snape's wand tilted and almost fell out of his hand, and he quickly grabbed it—Harry suddenly felt a lot of memory fragments flooding his head—

A hook-nosed, dark-haired man yelled at a cowering, scarred woman who was pale...

A boy in a fat maternity suit is enviously lying behind the fence, watching two little girls giggling and swinging on the swing...

A greasy-haired boy sits alone in a dark bedroom, pointing his wand at the ceiling and shooting flies, bored...

A young man wearing a black Hogwarts school uniform and robe was holding a test paper in his hand, and walked slowly towards the lake——

"enough!"

Harry woke up suddenly, those images disappeared, and Snape's gloomy face became clear in front of him.

He—he succeeded!

Harry's heart jumped for joy, and his green eyes looked slightly defiantly at Snape, awaiting his comment.

But... was the person in those memories Snape?His childhood didn't seem any better than his own, Harry thought to himself.

"It seems that your brain hasn't completely degenerated yet," Snape snorted, and said reluctantly, "It took nearly two months of study to make such a little progress, you may consider tracing your bloodline to see if it is somewhat similar to a troll." kinship."

Although Snape's tone was still harsh, Harry was still very happy.It wasn't easy getting Snape to tell him he was making progress.

"When will I be able to let him see the fake information like volt...you-know-how did to me?" Harry asked excitedly, "Uh... sir?" He added hastily.

"You?" Snape looked at him contemptuously as if hearing some Arabian Nights, "It's impossible in this life."

"The Dark Lord's Legilimency has been perfected, no one can lie in front of the Dark Lord," Snape said with some sighs, "No one... whoever dares to lie to the Dark Lord is dead."

"But...but you haven't been around all the time—" Harry couldn't help but exclaimed, "Dumbledore says you've been giving him false information!"

"Yeah," Snape replied coldly, without any emotional fluctuations, "so I may die at any time."

"..." Harry was speechless.

"What?" Snape looked sideways at him, even with a slight smile on his lips, "Does this give you some hope for your future school career?"

"Yes... yes!" Harry replied stiffly, trying to suppress the panic that surged in his heart, "Yes... I am looking forward to it."

Harry didn't know what was wrong with him, he couldn't help thinking about Snape since his last Occlumency class.

He thought over and over again of the messy memories he saw that day, as well as the phrase "So I may die at any time" that Snape said in a tone as calm as stagnant water, feeling a little worried for some reason.

On Thursday afternoon, Harry rushed to his History of Magic class, but when he walked into the common room, he realized that he had forgotten to bring his textbooks. He let Ron and Hermione go first, and ran back to the dormitory to get the textbooks in three steps at a time.

Just as the door was closed, there was a slight "crack" sound in the air, and Dobby the house elf appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

"Dobby!" Harry stroked his chest in surprise, only to remember that he had been paying attention to Snape these days, and he had completely forgotten about Umbridge and Dobby.

"Harry Potter! Dobby wants to report to Harry Potter what he told Dobby to do!"

Dobby bowed grotesquely, and the pile of hats on his head seemed taller than the last time Harry had seen him.

"Er...but I'm going to class--no, Dobby, go ahead."

Anyway, Professor Binns didn't care if there was a living person in the classroom, and Harry thought it would be better to hear the results of Dobby's stalking Umbridge immediately than to go to sleep in the History of Magic classroom.

"Sit down and say, Dobby, please sit - don't thank me," he sat down on the bed, presciently preventing Dobby from crying out his gratitude for asking him to sit down, "Come on, you followed Umbridge to the Forbidden Forest—"

"Yes, sir!" Dobby sniffed and climbed into a chair beside the bed, "Dobby followed Harry Potter's orders to follow Professor Umbridge! Dobby was very careful not to let her Found Dobby following her! Dobby really paid attention!"

"Hmm, I know you must be careful, then—and then? Where did she go? What did she do?"

"The thing is weird here," Dobby shook his head, his ears slapped on his face, his big eyes were full of confusion, "Dobby was sure Dobby was following her all along! She went into the Forbidden Forest Deep, deep...Harry Potter made Dobby follow her all the time, and Dobby kept following her, but...but..."

The elf suddenly jumped up from his chair and slammed his head on the table, "Dobby couldn't find her! She just disappeared like that! Dobby didn't do what Harry Potter asked him to do." ! Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"

"Don't do this, don't do this... stop!" Harry rushed over and put his arms around Dobby, "Stop, Dobby!"

The elf finally calmed down a little, and sat on the chair panting.

"You mean..." Harry repeated strangely, "that she went deep into the Forbidden Forest...and disappeared?"

"Yes, sir," Dobby nodded vigorously, "Dobby waited and waited, searching everywhere in the same place, but she just disappeared like that! But she still appeared in the auditorium the next day...and then go back in a few days The Forbidden Forest... Dobby has been following her, but he doesn't know how she disappeared!"

Harry mused, but had no clue.He turned to see Dobby still looking at him guiltily, with tears in his eyes.

"Dobby, you've done a good job." Harry put his arms around Dobby's small body, "Don't blame yourself, don't hurt yourself, you really helped me a lot, really... thank you very much."

"It's a great honor for Dobby to help the great Harry Potter!" After hearing Harry's words, the house elf finally broke into a big smile on his tear-stained face.
