“It’s already taking shape, but the next step is stuck.”

Andrew sighed.

No one wants to show something as precious as memory in front of others. A short period is fine. For example, spells like Legilimency, where it is uncertain what memory will be read, no one will practice it for money.

Unless it's a lot of money - but that's a different matter, and the other party will definitely regret or even resent it later. This is completely contrary to the original intention of using money to hire.

‘We can only use rabbits, but there are too few feedbacks like this. ’

As for indiscriminate use and practice - that's really a direct train to Azkaban.

But the problem is not big. The theory is not 100% but more than 90%. If I lay the groundwork, I will get started directly with Occlumency, so Andrew started his routine running again the next morning.

"Good morning, Andrew."

Hagrid waved his arms from afar.

"Good morning, Hagrid," Andrew paused, "Professor McGonagall is coming back today. Will you continue to work part-time as a gamekeeper after taking up your teaching position?"

"Of course," Hagrid said proudly, placing the basin next to Fang, "This is Dumbledore's trust!"

"Without a doubt, ah, by the way, Hagrid, do you know of any magical creatures that have enough emotions but won't attack due to Legilimency?"

He looked at Fang wagging his tail happily at Hagrid's feet, and suddenly thought of a substitute.

"House elf?"

"I'm afraid this won't work. Although they should be happy, looking through their memories is too much like being tortured." Andrew shook his head. "Please, give me something that I won't feel guilty about."

Legilimens triggers and amplifies emotions to browse memories. For the person being cast, that kind of flipping is simply torture. This is clearly shown in the data.

"Then there is no such thing. How can there be such a magical creature that is intelligent but will not be annoyed by Legilimency?"

Hagrid shook his head, "This is simply unreasonable. Wisdom, anger, and counterattack are almost complementary to each other..."

Suddenly, Hagrid blinked his eyes, "Yeah, I thought about it. What if the other party is angry but unable to fight back? And there will definitely be no guilt. They are all scoundrels!"

"ah?"

"Don't worry, I'll get it in the afternoon."

Hagrid patted his chest - listening to the sound like a war drum, Andrew fully realized Hagrid's determination.

But Andrew was a little uneasy. Hagrid's so-called inability to fight back was really unclear. He couldn't determine the opponent's true combat effectiveness. After all, Hagrid's evaluation standards seemed really uneasy.

"Welcome back, Professor."

At noon, Professor McGonagall returned to school from her short break and sighed at the pile of documents she had processed on her desk.

"A satisfying holiday, although seeing these things makes me unhappy, but fortunately Albus can work hard next."

The professor sighed helplessly, "Your departure application has been approved. We will leave for Armstrong three days later."

"I'm ready, Professor."

"Well, let's take a good two days of rest... It won't do. There isn't much rest time. How is your Legilimency practice going?"

Professor McGonagall put the box away, "Albus should have at least taught you. If the progress is satisfactory, we can try to let you get started with Occlumency in these two days."

"Isn't this too fast?"

"Well, it's a bit rushed, but Occlumency is very useful for you," Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, "I don't agree with using house elves to practice, so we can only practice sparring, and I will prepare the Pensieve for protection. memory."

Should I fight Professor McGonagall?

Oh my god, I really want to take a one-day trip to the Astronomy Tower this time!

Pensieve to protect memory - sounds good, but can the memory he wants to protect be exhausted in a short time?

Where are you using Legilimency to give yourself a full half-hour of spinning?

That would reveal too much - his Legilimency is only theoretical and cannot extract key memories. Once he is proficient, he can quickly extract the memory, but how can he increase his proficiency without practice?

"Hagrid said he could get a suitable opponent."

Fortunately, Andrew thought of Hagrid's help - it seems that running in the morning is indeed good for the body.

"Hagrid?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, "Magical creatures?"

"Yes, Professor."

"That's better," Professor McGonagall nodded - to be honest, it was troublesome for her to sort out and hide the memories. After all, in theory, Andrew's did have the possibility of quickly successfully rebounding the spell or even suppressing the spell, and it was not low.

"Then let's wait for Hagrid's answer."

——

By the afternoon, Andrew finally figured out what Hagrid's answer was—a small army of goblins.

"They are the best training partners. They have bad personalities, limited attack methods, and are smart enough to read memories."

Hagrid nodded, quite satisfied with his arrangement.

Hogwarts is well protected and these guys can't get in, but when the old professor caused a bunch of goblins to escape, he had a deep memory of the capture work.

‘He’s really not a very aggressive guy. I don’t seem to know enough about Hagrid. ’

Andrew nodded and praised Hagrid's answer - although he didn't understand why this guy used such a clumsy magic chain to lock it up like the one who broke the law, but it was indeed very safe.

——

'It's much better... Although the efficiency is still a lot worse, it's enough. After all, there are the skills provided by the Sorting Hat...'

'Tracking, hiding, reproduction, and even moving to three burrows...'

He cast the spell again and again, and his proficiency in Legilimency began to rise rapidly.

And he gradually mastered the rules and living habits of the goblins - but there was a sequelae.

Maybe because he saw too much from the underground perspective, he always felt that things were too bright...

And under the emotional exchanges of fear, joy, pride, and showing off provided by these goblins, he finally stably explored the power of mobilizing emotions.

Legilimency began to work well, and he could even read the memories hidden deep in the minds of these goblins by breaking through their emotions - such as where the treasure was hidden (mostly food or clothes...), or what they admired about other goblins...

After he confirmed that he could trigger it stably, that strange feeling naturally emerged - he could now counterattack the Legilimency of others.

He could even invade the other party's emotions through the reverse output of emotions and see the memories that the other party tried to hide.

'Brain occlumency, it's done. '

He put down his wand and nodded.
