In the school infirmary, Louis led Hermione to Professor Snape's bedside.

Harry had long since recovered, so Snape was currently the only one living in the school infirmary.

"I thought it would be a long time before you used my promise, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait until I'm well."

Professor Snape said calmly, revealing the purpose of Louis's visit.

"Say, I'll agree to any request."

"Professor, I want you to teach Hermione Occlumency, if you can do it without thinking about Hermione?" Louis asked.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to speak, but now it's fine, just say it directly.

Hearing the request, Snape paused:

"Are you really confident that you won't be taken by the Dementors?"

Louis shrugged.

Snape understood what he meant, and then looked at Hermione behind him, "Miss Granger, can you remove the decoration from your face?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not, please forgive me for the reason." Louis refused.

Nonsense, what if Snape suddenly took care of it?

Although he didn't think Professor Snape would be like that, he couldn't hurt others, and he couldn't do without the desire to defend people.

Snape frowned, seeing Snape like this, Louis thought that Snape might refuse, but heard Snape say:

"When I'm well, you can come to me in the afternoon every week if you have time, but it may take a few months and it will last until the next semester."

"It's okay, I'll try to learn!" Hermione said at this point.

"People who work very hard are good for nothing in the face of talent." Snape seems to have regained his poisonous tongue attributes.

Louis also replied: "If you have talent, you have to develop it well, right?" The development is not good, and it is not even as good as the hard work. ”

Snape wanted to say something more, but Louis's calm eyes kept his mouth shut.

Hermione, seeing that Professor Snape was not arguing, thought that Louis was more right, and made up her mind, "You must learn Occlumency as soon as possible." ”

And when Hermione's attention was not on Louis and Snape's side, Louis cast a grateful look at Snape, as he could guess what Snape might say next.

Because it is true that hard work is useless in the face of talent.

It's like learning, some difficult problems, esoteric topics, people have listened to the teacher's explanation once, and they don't even need to explain, they can understand it, but some people still don't understand it even if the teacher explains it four or five times.

That's the talent gap.

But Louis didn't want to let Hermione know about it too soon.

Because he was afraid that Hermione would slack off.

That's right, it's slack, Hermione's talent can definitely be regarded as outstanding, his talent is even worse than Hermione, but it's just because of the system and vision plus knowing the general situation in the future that he is better than Hermione.

But what if you don't? It's up to the sky, that is, barely able to catch up with Hermione's pace.

So what he was afraid of was not Snape telling the reason, but Snape praising Hermione, although the odds were unlikely.

But once that was said, then Hermione would surely ask, would Snape be disparaged? If Luis wasn't there, probably, but Louis was there, definitely a fair assessment.

Then Hermione knew she had a good talent for herself.

This is not what Louis wants, what he wants is to keep Hermione in the current situation, thinking that she is a little less talented, but not much, and in this case, telling her the importance of hard work is like someone who is more talented than you is working harder than you.

Now that Hermione has reached this standard under his deliberate guidance, it is up to time.

As for Hermione's later discovery of this situation, then she found out, it's a big deal to be beaten, besides, if he doesn't say it, who knows about it.

Then the two of them left the place, and Professor Snape was still recuperating from his injuries, and they were already disturbed by coming.

However, after going back, they met a person on the way that surprised Louis.

"Why, you look surprised to see me?" Dumbledore stood in front of the two of them.

"Indeed, because I always thought that the professor would come to me the next day, I didn't expect it to take so long?" Louis said.

Dumbledore looked next to Louis, "This is Miss Granger, right?" How do you wear alchemy items? ”

Hermione was confused.

Louis, on the other hand, was alarmed, and planned to devote twenty percent of his energy to dealing with this seemingly simple conversation.

"It seems that Miss Granger still doesn't know, these things you wear have magic flowing on them, usually this kind of thing is called alchemy items, but ordinary people can't see it, usually, they all have more or less side effects, I hope you use it carefully."

Dumbledore explained to the two, paused, and then looked at Louis:

"The Sorting Hat told me after the Sorting that there was a little wizard who seemed to have some wonderful ideas, which I thought was very good, it was a bold common sense, and it seems very good now?" As he spoke, he looked at the things Hermione was wearing.

"Professor, I think it's very rude to stare at a lady like that."

Louis said coldly, he was still a little wary of Dumbledore, after all, he was a powerful wizard, as for whether it was white or black, he had only seen it in the book, and it was reality here after all.

"Oh...... this is my presumptuousness, but Mr. Louis, may I take a look at these things?"

Dumbledore was really pleading, and Louis could feel that he wasn't commanding himself.

He hesitated, but his attitude was not as defensive as before.

"It seems that our little wizard does not particularly trust me, which is a dereliction of my duty, after all, I don't seem to have protected you when you are in danger."

Dumbledore was a little disappointed, and a little self-reproachful.

"Okay, since Mr. Louis doesn't want to, then I won't ask more, we haven't communicated too much before, and I hope you can come and sit in the principal's office in the future, after all, you can only understand a person if you communicate more, right? Hopefully I can make a difference next time we meet. ”

With that, he left the place.

Looking at Dumbledore's departing figure, Louis felt very uncomfortable, and he was a little unclear about whether his attitude towards Dumbledore was right or wrong.

It's perfectly right to be wary of a wizard, let alone the most powerful wizard at the moment, but ......

Dumbledore's friendly attitude just now, as well as that kind of self-blame and loss, were all things that Louis could feel, and he couldn't help but feel good.

But it's not enough, he still doesn't believe that other feelings can break through the shackles of interests, if you don't start, it may be because the interests are not big enough?

We can wait and see later, but now......

Let's grow up in school honestly!
