"Harry, how was Christmas?" asked Autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, not bad, what about you?" said Harry, feeling his appetite grabbed!

Ron watched the two of them from the side, and felt that Autumn's appearance was too much of a coincidence, as if he was waiting here.

If Hermione had been here, they would have pulled him away, leaving room for Harry and Cho alone, but Ron didn't have that realization.

On the contrary, he found it interesting and wanted to help Harry.

"I had a pretty quiet holiday and didn't go anywhere. I can't tell why, Cho seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Harry, "Well, I'm going to Hogsmeade Village again next month, did you see the notice?"

"Oh, no, I haven't seen the bulletin board since I got back. ”

"It's ...... on Valentine's Day"

"Oh!" Harry didn't understand why she was telling him this, "Do you want to ......?"

"If you want. She said eagerly.

Harry froze, he was about to say, "Do you want to ask when the next D.A. event is?"

They were still discussing it, and Evan said it was necessary to speed up the pace of learning.

But Qiu's answer didn't seem to be right, she didn't seem to be asking about it.

"I ......"

"Oh, forget it if you don't want to!" she said, seemingly humiliated, "It's okay, I'll see you later." ”

She stumbled away, Harry staring at her back, his mind spinning wildly.

"Dude, she looks like she's going to ask you out!" said Ron, and it was useful for him to stay here.

Harry snapped to his senses, wasn't that what he'd been thinking about?!

He hurried over and chased Cho up the marble staircase.

"Well, do you want to come with me to Hogsmeade on Valentine's Day?"

"Oh yes!" Cho blushed and smiled brightly, looking at Harry expectantly, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Of course, if you dream about it, then it's decided. Harry felt that the day was not a complete failure.

Snape's solo tutoring in the evening also seemed to become less difficult all of a sudden.

For Harry's performance, Hermione has only two words to evaluate, that is, idiot!

Evan didn't say anything, because he wasn't much better than Harry when he chased Hermione.

In terms of how to chase girls, they are all whites, and they all need girls to take the initiative a little bit.

But it doesn't matter now, it's all in the past, and now Ai Wen has been tested for a long time and is very proficient.

As long as he's alone with Hermione, he knows what to do, and before this year's Christmas break, it's easy and there are plenty of opportunities.

But now there's a small problem, and that's getting rid of Elaine.

Is it Valentine's Day on your next visit to Hogsmeade?

Evan tapped his knuckles lightly on the edge of the table, considering the matter.

Meanwhile, Harry was standing outside the door of Snape's office with an ominous premonition.

He paused outside the door for a moment, wishing he was somewhere else.

As long as it's not here, it's anywhere, and then he took a deep breath and knocked on the door to enter.

It was a dimly lit room with hundreds of glass bottles on shelves, and slimy specimens of plants and animals floating in colorful potions.

A cabinet in the corner was filled with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, but now they were all in Evan's pocket.

Harry looked around, his attention quickly drawn to the desk.

In the candlelight was a shallow stone basin carved with a mysterious symbol, and Harry immediately recognized it as Dumbledore's meditation basin.

He was wondering what it was doing here when Snape's cold voice came from the shadows, startling him.

"Close the door behind you, Potter. ”

Harry complied, feeling in horror that he had locked himself up.

He turned, and Snape had walked to the light, silently gesturing to the chair across from his desk.

Harry went over and sat down, and New Neck sat down.

His cold black eyes stared at Harry unblinking, disgust carved into every line of his face.

"You know what you're doing here. He whispered, "The Headmaster wants me to teach you Occlumenc, and I can only hope you're a little smarter than you were in Potions class." ”

"Yes. Harry replied without daring to say more.

"This may not be your average class, Potter!" Snape's eyes narrowed sinisterly, "but I'm still your teacher, and it's the least respect you have to call me Mr. or Professor at all times." ”

"Yes, Professor!"

"Very good, Occlumency, you have learned it with Mason before, you should know that this spell can prevent your mind from being invaded and affected by magic, you need to learn it, the headmaster is worried that the Dark Lord will extract sensations and memories from your mind......"

"Why could he do this to me?" asked Harry immediately.

It was the answer he had always wanted to know, and it would be nice if Snape could answer it.

"There are many possibilities, but the most common spell is the Temporary!" said Snape, "and the easiest. ”

"Is it mind reading?"

"You didn't care, Potter!" said Snape, his dark eyes glinting, "You've been like this for a long time, and that's the main reason why you're doing so badly in your schoolwork, and you're always dispensing potions so badly, and of course, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Snape paused, apparently savoring the pleasure of insulting Harry.

"Only Muggles talk about reading people's hearts, and people's hearts are not a book, and they can't be read at will. Thoughts are not engraved in the brain, and people should not be allowed to read them. The human heart is a complex, multi-layered thing, and Porter, at least most minds are. He laughed, "I want you to remember what I said, this is something that Mr. Know-it-all won't teach you, the Dark Lord is studying other people's minds and giving the right explanations, this is the power of magic, and he is very proficient in this magic." For example, he can almost always see that others are lying to him, and only someone who is good at Occlumency can seal the feelings and memories that contradict the lie and lie in front of him without being detected. ”

"But why is it always me?" asked Harry, plucking up his courage.

"Because of the scar on your head, this connection between you and him is particularly strong. Snape said, "Also, you need to call me Professor!"

"Can he know what we're thinking now, Professor?"

"The Dark Lord is far away, and the walls and grounds of Hogwarts are guarded by many ancient spells, ensuring the physical and mental safety of the people in the school. "Time and space have an effect on magic, and Potter, he can't do that." ”

"Then why do I have to learn Occlumency?"

Snape glanced at Harry, groping his mouth with a thin finger.

"As I said, routine doesn't apply to you, Potter, and the spell that didn't kill you created a connection between you and the Dark Lord, and there are signs that there are times when your mind is at its most relaxed and vulnerable, such as in your sleep, when you can sense the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. Just like last time, you witnessed what was happening far away in Norway, and the Headmaster didn't think it should be allowed to continue, so he asked me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord. ”
