Although it was not Dumbledore's signature, Snape's name was also very useful.

Five minutes before dinner began, Snape led a house-elf into the Great Hall.

I don't know if it was because of the torture for several days, Harry seemed to have evolved some kind of special sensing ability, and instinctively looked up almost the moment Snape walked into the Great Hall.

At the same time, he also saw the house-elf next to him.

"Dobby?"

After Snape left, Harry shouted uncertainly.

He felt that this house-elf was very similar to the one he tried to protect him in the second grade, the Malfoy elf.

But he's not so sure.

Because at that time, the house-elf was just wearing a dirty and torn tea towel, and now this ...... Anyway, Harry had never seen a well-dressed elf.

He wore a hand-knitted wide-brimmed hat on his head, just big enough to cover his two large ears, and carried a brand new brown leather suitcase.

A set of jackets of just the right size is clean and novel, with many pockets of different shapes, and the material is very similar to the dragon breeder overalls worn by Charlie, which is very sturdy at first glance.

And the boots on his feet, Harry was a little unsure if they were cowhide or dragon skin.

It doesn't look like cowhide, but a house-elf wearing dragon leather boots is a bit too exaggerated.

Coupled with the fact that they all looked almost the same, it was normal for Harry to be unsure.

Until the house-elf waved his hand excitedly at him and screamed, "Mr. Harry Potter remembers Dobby, Dobby is really happy." ”

"It's really you." Harry was surprised, "But how did you end up with Snape, are you working for him?" ”

"No, Dobby is working for Mr. Scamander." The elf said.

"Scamander?" Harry frowned, the name he had always thought was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Yes, Mr. Scamander asked Dobby to come to Hogwarts to find Professor Snape, and Dobby came."

Hearing that it was related to Snape, Harry suddenly lost interest in this person and asked instead, "Is there anything wrong with coming to Hogwarts?" ”

As he said this, Harry suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, and he couldn't say why.

Maybe it's something Dobby did before...... said that he wanted to protect him, but he intercepted the letter and blocked the passage of the station, which really tossed him enough.

Harry was really afraid that Dobby would try to protect him again.

"Dobby is here for Mr. Kyle." Only then did the elf remember his task and quickly looked around.

At this time, Kyle also happened to walk in from outside.

"Ah, Mr. Kyle." Dobby hurriedly ran over.

Seeing this, Harry breathed a sigh of relief...... Fortunately, I didn't come to protect him.

But for some reason, the feeling of panic did not disappear with Dobby's departure, but became more pronounced.

"Maybe he's been attacked by Snape too many times......" Harry, who couldn't think of a reason, could only comfort himself.

On the other side, Kyle looked at Dobby running over, and was also a little surprised.

"I thought Newt was coming."

"Mr. Scamander said he wasn't fit to be at Hogwarts right now, so he let Dobby come."

"No, it's too good for him to come at this time." Kyle muttered quietly, a little disappointed.

But Dobby is here, so he can't be allowed to go back......

"Forget it." Kyle said, "Come with me." ”

He takes Dobby to the empty common room and asks, "Did you bring anything with you?" ”

"Here." Dobby held up the suitcase in his hand, "Mr. Kyle, are you sure there is no one else here?" Mr. Scamander said, "You can't let anyone else see this, or you'll be expelled from school." ”

"Don't worry, everyone else has gone to the auditorium, it's just the two of us here." Kyle said.

"That's good." Dobby then opened the box, revealing two sapphire-like eyes inside.

"And this." Dobby pulled out another bulging bag.

"What is this?"

"Mrs. Scamander's freshly made grapefruit biscuits, she asked me to bring you some."

By the time Kyle returns to the auditorium, dinner has already begun.

"Where's the house-elf." Connor asked, looking behind him.

"I've gone back." Kyle said, taking two cookies out of the bag and handing them to Connor, "Taste it." ”

Connor took it and took a bite, her eyes lit up.

"It's delicious, where did this come from, the Hogwarts kitchen?"

"No, it's Tina...... Mrs. Scamander made it, and her craft came from a wonderful baker. Kyle said, "If you like, I can take you to ...... during the holidays."

"I'm sorry, but Connor is going to Austria this holiday to attend the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association's admission review, and I can't accompany you to meet Mrs. Scamander."

A cold voice like a snake came from behind him.

Kyle's neck froze, and he turned his head to see Snape standing behind him with a blank face.

"Professor, I didn't notice you were there." Kelgan laughed twice.

"Of course you didn't find out." Snape squinted and said, "Something, give it to me." ”

"I'm afraid this won't work." Kyle said, "That kid was just brought here, and he's not used to it, and he's going to attack any stranger who comes near him."

"Of course, Professor, you can definitely solve it, but if you accidentally get injured or hurt it, it's troublesome, isn't it...... Leave this little thing to me,"

"So what about tomorrow." Snape asked in a long voice, "I don't think Potter can deal with an aggressive 5X fantastic animal." ”

"I can fix it, Professor." Kyle said, "One night is enough. ”

Snape stared at him for a moment, then leaned over and said meaningfully, "Then you must remember, don't let me see ...... again"

With that, he stood up again and strode out of the auditorium.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared completely that Kyle let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at the uneaten toast and sausages on the plate in front of him, and decisively pushed them aside, ready to take them back for the cyst leopard to taste later, and he took a new one himself.

Who knows if Snape just added some special "seasoning" to his food, and while it's unlikely that something like this will happen, Kyle still thinks it's better to be cautious.

Watching his movements, Connor couldn't help but laugh and picked up a cookie again.

Kyle sighed.

The most annoying thing about Snape is that he walks almost silently, and is always nearby when it counts.

Kyle has encountered it several times, and it's annoying.

After dinner, Connor went to the library as before, ready to read a little more before curfew.

Kyle didn't follow along, because he finally didn't have to write any more plans today.

On the other side, Harry returned to his dormitory.

Everyone else had gone home, and there was no one to talk to, and Harry, who was bored, lay down in bed early and fell asleep in a daze.

……

The next day.

Reluctantly, Harry made his way to the basement classroom at the agreed time.

A minute before nine o'clock, Harry habitually stood in the hallway, ready to wait until nine o'clock before going in.

But at this time, the door to the office was opened from the inside.

Kyle stepped out of it, just in time to meet Harry's gaze.

"I was just about to go to you." Kyle said, "We're not studying here today, we're going to change places." ”

"Where to go." Harry asked.

"On the eighth floor, there is a room for request." Kyle said.

"Room of Requirement......" Harry suddenly became nervous, "Snape knows where too?" ”

"No, he doesn't know yet, that's where I picked it." Kyle came up the stairs and said as he walked, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn Occlumency from me?" Snape agreed. ”

"Really?"

Harry felt a huge wave of surprise, the best news he had heard in a month.

"Well, of course it's true." Kyle casually said, "But there's one thing I have to warn you about, I don't know how to teach other people Occlumency...... Don't look at me like that, I really don't know. ”

Looking at Harry's skeptical expression, Kyle continued, "Still, if you agree, I can recommend to you how I learned Occlumency. ”

"Of course I agree." Harry said impatiently, "Just don't let me see Snape again." ”

"Don't talk so early......" Kyle whispered.

Soon the two of them were on the eighth floor, and Kyle opened the door to the Room of Request and walked in first, with Harry hurriedly following.

He found himself in a large room, so large that he could not see the edge at a glance, and above his head was not a ceiling, but a sky with white clouds, and under his feet was a soft grass, and not far away, a lake about the size of the Black Lake.

For a moment, Harry thought he was out on the field.

"It's amazing here......" Harry closed his eyes, enjoying the oncoming breeze.

It's really Kyle, and the choice of this place of study alone is far more than Snape's.

It's certainly much better to learn Occlumency in such a comfortable place than in a dark and cramped office!

"What am I going to do?" Harry asked impatiently.

"Don't worry." Kyle clapped his hands.

With a low growl, Harry suddenly realized that there was an extra ...... in front of him

Leopard...... Tiger...... Lion?

Harry didn't know what it was, it looked like a feline magnified many times over, but it had six legs.

And it doesn't matter if it's a cat or a tiger...... You can't have six legs, right?

Harry's doubts were soon answered.

"It's a cat-leopard." Kyle said, "Magical beasts classified as 5X by the Ministry of Magic are extremely dangerous. ”

Harry had a look of horror in his eyes and unconsciously took two steps back.

5X, isn't that just like a fire dragon?

No wonder it has six legs! These strange magical creatures are not easy to mess with.

"Of course, this cat and leopard in front of you is special, and he won't attack you." Kyle explained.

To test this claim, he also scratched the chin of the cat-leopard in Harry's horrified gaze.

The other immediately squinted in enjoyment and purred in satisfaction, looking like a larger cat.

This also made Harry gradually relent, and he wondered, "But Kyle, how can there be this cat in the room if you want it...... Well, what about cats and leopards? ”

"Of course I borrowed it." Kyle continued, "Actually, I learned Occlumency from it in the first place.

"Cats and leopards are born masters of the Celestial Mind, just like Tonks's Transfiguration Magus, their blue eyes are able to see through everything, including your heart."

Harry subconsciously looked up at the blue eyes.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, and it was even stronger than Snape's magic.

Subconsciously, Harry wrapped his robes tightly.

"You must be kidding, right?" He hesitated, "I mean, how is this possible, it's just a magical animal, how can it be a deception." ”

The leopard let out a whimper.

"Haven't you already felt it?" Kyle laughs and says, "It's the cat-leopard's unique ability and the reason why they and locate 5X Fantastic Beasts."

"Plus intelligence far above other magical beasts...... In a way, cats and leopards are even more dangerous than fire dragons. ”

Harry pursed his lips.

"But I don't feel the same." He said, "That's not what Snape's Templars do. ”

"It's the same, actually." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It's just that Professor Snape uses a more complicated way to make you see your own memories as well. ”

"I knew he wasn't at ease." Harry said subconsciously.

Kyle raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Harry suddenly said that, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After being tossed around by Snape for so long, it is inevitable that Harry will speculate on him with the greatest malice, and this is also normal.

"Alright, let's move on." Kyle took out a piece of wart leg meat and fed it to the cat-leopard, saying, "My method is actually similar to Professor Snape's, which is to use the Guardian to force you to learn Occlumency, except that the person who attacked you was not me, but the cat-leopard." ”

"Let me deal with cats and leopards?" Harry screamed, even his voice changed.

He felt that he and the cat-leopard had only a three-seven chance of winning.

He insisted for three minutes, and the cat and leopard ate seven points full...... Kyle lets himself deal with a magical beast with the same name as the fire dragon, isn't he too much to think of.

He heard another muffled whimper.

"The cat-leopard says it won't take that long, you can hold on for a minute at most......" Kyle said casually.

Harry's face turned whiter, and his legs began to tremble, he just wanted to learn a spell, there was no need to take his life.

"Just kidding, don't be nervous." Kyle waved his hand, "Don't worry, my Occlumency is taught by this cat-leopard, and it has a lot of experience in teaching in this area, and can master it well." ”

"It's okay if you regret it, I can send you back to the basement classroom."

"No!" Harry said firmly, "I'd rather face a cat and leopard than go back to the underground classroom." ”

"Then you have to think about it." "If you choose to stay here, you won't be able to leave until school starts, unless you can learn Occlumency," Kyle said. ”

"What about eating and sleeping?" Harry asked.

"It's also here." Kyle pointed to a small cabin not far away, "That's where you live, it's pretty much the same as a dorm, and as for eating...... I'll ask the elves to help me deliver it. ”

"Okay." With little hesitation, Harry immediately agreed.

After making sure there was no danger, Harry was less scared and vaguely excited.

Learning spells with 5X Fantastic Beasts, this kind of experience is not something that anyone can have, and Ron would envy him if he knew...... And Hermione, who certainly didn't expect Fantastic Beasts to be a teacher.

"What am I going to do?"

"It's simple." Kyle took two steps back, "Don't get beaten too badly. ”

Before Harry could understand what this meant, he saw the cat-leopard, who had been as well-behaved as a house cat, suddenly stand up and rush towards him.

He subconsciously wanted to hide, but the cat and leopard seemed to see through his thoughts, and his body turned, just in front of him.

A tail with the sound of breaking wind struck Harry with precision, sending him straight away.

Harry let out a scream, clutching his arms and moaning.

No, that's not what he thought...... Didn't Kyle say there was no danger?

Harry was about to say something, but the cat-leopard had already jumped in front of him again.

It was still the same tail, whistling and waving like an iron rod.

Harry rolled on the spot, then ...... He was whipped to the other side.

"Harry, don't forget Occlumency." Kyle shouted from the side, "Cats and leopards can see through your thoughts, it's useless to simply hide, use Occlumency!"

"Only if the cat and leopard can't see it, you have a chance to dodge its attack."

He was answered with another scream, and Harry made a graceful arc through the air and flew straight into the lake, making a massive splash.

Although this lake is only a spectacle, and the deepest part is only up to the calf of a normal person, Harry's wet appearance is still a little unbearable for those who look at it.

So Kyle chose not to look.

After a few more words to the cat and leopard, he turned around decisively and left the room where everything was answered.

"It's much better now."

Arriving in the hallway outside, Kyle breathed a long sigh of relief and walked downstairs in a happy mood.

Whether Harry can learn Occlumency or not depends on the next few days, and he will have time to do his own business.

As for Harry's safety, Kyle wasn't worried at all.

In addition to the cats and leopards in that room, there were two house-elves further away, who would use Apparition to take Harry away as soon as possible if there was an emergency.

In addition, Fox goes to see it several times a day.

You know, when he first learned Occlumency, he didn't have this kind of luxurious formulation, so Harry just had fun.
