Chapter 88: Training Harry (Part I)
The weather was getting colder and the wind was howling outside, and Lockhart was reading a book in his office about the origins of the ancient dark arts, waiting for Harry to learn Occlumency.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in, I'll be okay for a while. Lockhart put down the book.
But there were two people who came in, and Lockhart wanted to ask, Hermione, what are you doing here, but it was rude to think that it was rude to ask, so he had to smile and say hello: "Hey, Hermione is here too." ”
"She also wants to learn Occlumency, Professor. Harry said embarrassedly, "I persuaded her to let the professor teach her outside in the club, but she insisted on coming." ”
Hermione blushed and hid behind Harry, this was a rare occasion that Pandora would never appear, how could she miss it.
"I'm glad you didn't bring Ron over, Harry. Lockhart teased.
"He wanted to come, but I stopped it. Harry explained awkwardly, "I told him that he could teach him at the event." ”
"Uh...... Speaking of which, I haven't asked you about that club yet, how is it going. That's when Lockhart remembered.
"Well, it's going well with Hermione's help," Harry looked happy, "and Hermione's relationship has gotten a lot better after she has something to do." ”
"Oh, yes," Lockhart was a little embarrassed, "what is the club called, how many people are there." ”
"It's called H.A., Hogwarts Army, Professor, what's the name. ”
"Yes, it could be Harry Potter's army, Harry. Lohar nodded.
"How can I have an ......army," Harry was a little embarrassed, "I tell my classmates, you will come to guide us, they are all here for you." ”
"There are more than sixty people in HA now, and I helped them practice some simple attack spells. But, Professor, you basically teach them in class, so our activity is basically to practice teamwork with each other. ”
"Well, good idea, Harry. In the future, the battles you encounter will definitely not be a duel between wizards, but a group fight. Lockhart said with satisfaction.
"These were Hermione's ideas, Professor. Harry pulled Hermione out from behind.
"Well done, Hermione, you know you're smartest. Lockhart smiled and encouraged her.
"It's nothing, Professor, it's a prop for our contact. Hermione grimaced and gave Lockhart a fake gold galleon with spells on it that could be linked to each other.
"What a clever little thing!" Lockhart exclaimed, flipping through it, "You've almost founded a little Order of the Phoenix!"
"Professor, we're running out of practice soon, I'm going to teach them the Patronus Charm, you should play once. Harry looked at Lockhart expectantly.
"Okay, then I'll be here for the next event. Lockhart thought for a moment and said.
"Great, Professor, we'll be waiting for you!" Harry said excitedly.
"So, now, we can start practicing Occlumency. Lockhart stood up and walked to the edge of the office, "You two, sit on the couch." ”
――
"Occlumency, which prevents others from invading your mind, is one of the more obscure forms of magic, but it's quite useful. Lockhart looked at the two serious-looking children with satisfaction, "I've told you more than once in class about its usefulness, and I think you remember it, right, Hermione." ”
"Well, you said that the Occlumency Technique can effectively resist the Mind Destroyer's Thoughts, and can also resist memory-related spells such as the Imperius Curse, Forget Everything, Memory Modification, etc., and can even weaken the effect of the Heart Drilling Spell. Oh, and you also said that Occlumency can make it easier to concentrate and use complex magic and silent spells. ”
"That's a complete answer, Hermione, it's a pity it's not a class, otherwise I'd definitely give you extra points," Lockhart complimented, "Actually, it's much more than that, and cultivating to the highest level can even speed up the accumulation of daily mana, of course, it's too difficult to achieve." I'm only getting close, and I reckon Dumbledore and Snape are already there. ”
"The spell that didn't kill you created some kind of connection between you and the Mysteries - you were more susceptible to the Mysteries' psychic influences. The headmaster doesn't think this should be allowed to continue, so I'm here to teach you. ”
"But why doesn't Professor Dumbrador want this to continue?" asked Harry, confused, "I don't like this, but it's useful, isn't it?" I mean...... I saw the snake attacking Mr. Weasley, and if I hadn't seen it, you wouldn't have saved him in time, would you?
Lockhart thought about it for a moment and decided to say something that would convince Harry enough.
"Before, the mysterious person did not know the connection between you and him, but if he knew that you felt his feelings and shared his thoughts, then he would create a false impression to confuse you, seduce you, and even accuse you. ”
"But I'm entering a snake, not Voldemort!"
"Don't say the man's name, Harry, until you can beat him!" Lockhart said angrily, "The mysterious man's soul has entered the snake. ”
"Professor, I think it's shameful to be afraid to say that person's name out of fear. Harry said earnestly.
"Harry, it's not fear! For the sake of the people around you you love and love you, you have to learn to change the way you say it, there is dark magic in this name, he can know where someone said his name!
"Oh well, I'll try to ......"
"Not as much as possible, but as necessary!"
"Alright, Professor, don't talk about that," Hermione said, "You just said that you were creating an illusion to confuse Harry, is that possible?"
"It's not possible, but even I can do it!" Lockhart accentuated, "Remember that 'fool's curse'?"
Harry and Hermione's eyes lit up immediately.
"Of course, it's the funniest spell I've ever seen, and I can't find it in any book!" Hermione said excitedly, ignoring Lockhart's annoyance, "Are you going to teach us?"
"Actually, it's not a fool's curse, it's me who created the illusion of Umbridge!" Lockhart emphasized, "In the illusion, I did everything she asked, so she was very satisfied, understand?" ”
"I see, you mean, the mystery man will give me the same illusion, will you?"
"Yes, maybe he never knew that you could see what he did, but if he did, then every scene you see could be an illusion. ”
