Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Harry was glad that he could escape from Snape's office.

In other words, Harry was glad that Tiera suddenly appeared and interrupted him.

Because if Tiera showed up even one second later, he might have had a quarrel with Snape——

At that moment, when Snape scolded him, for some reason, Harry suddenly became extremely angry.

It was obvious that Snape had reprimanded him in the same, even excessive, way before, but at that moment, Harry felt as if his anger was uncontrollable.

Harry felt horrified and disgusted by this situation——

Fear that his uncontrollable emotions come from Voldemort's influence.

Disgusted with Snape's harsh and almost humiliating teaching methods.

"It would be great if I could have another teacher teach me brain defense..." Harry thought helplessly.

"Tiera?"

The first person Harry thought of was Tiera, but he quickly rejected it himself——

"No, no, no, I've asked him twice and he refused directly. What if I ask him again and he refuses again?" Harry quickly shook his head and rejected his idea.

"But there are so many Tieras...so many...it should be...no problem for one of them to teach me Occlumency...

..." Harry began to get confused again.

"But Tiera has indeed clearly rejected me twice. If she rejects me again this time..." Harry stepped onto the stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room in confusion.

Harry, who was thinking about how to get Tiera to agree to teach him Occlumency, didn't notice Hermione holding a book, and walked down with her head lowered, until——

"ah--"

"oh--"

Harry and Hermione bumped into each other.

"Ah...Hermione?"

"Oh, Harry!" Hermione was knocked back a few steps and fell down on the steps. She looked at Harry in surprise, "Why are you still in the castle so late?"

"I have to go to Snape's Occlumency class every Saturday night, have you forgotten, Hermione?" Harry said, "Why are you still wandering around the castle so late?"

"Oh...I...I went to the library to return a book. I borrowed it before Christmas and it's due soon." Hermione said, taking out the book in her hand.

The book shook for Harry.

"Interpretation of Dreams?" Harry noticed the title of the book and asked strangely, "Didn't Tiera just talk about it yesterday?"

"Oh, I discovered this book before Christmas. I thought it was quite interesting, so I borrowed it to read during the Christmas vacation." Hermione said, "I thought it was about some magic that can induce dreams.

result......"

"It turns out to be just a Muggle psychology book." Harry smiled and finished Hermione's next sentence.

Hermione also laughed to herself.

"By the way, Harry, what are you doing wandering around in the castle after all this?" Hermione asked.

"I have Snape's Occlumency class on Saturday night, have you forgotten, Hermione?" she replied helplessly.

"Oh, yes, Harry, sorry, I almost forgot." Hermione then asked, "How...I mean...how did it go?"

"Sigh..." Harry sighed, "Seriously, it sucks."

"Oh, my God, what a pity." Hermione asked worriedly, "Snape didn't embarrass you, did he?"

"Oh...Give it." Harry sighed, "If Tiera hadn't appeared in time, I would have almost quarreled with him."

"So bad?" Hermione asked.

"It's worse than the worst case scenario you can imagine," Harry said.

"That's really too bad." Hermione said as she tugged on Harry's sleeve, "Come on, Harry, come with me to the library."

"Yeah." Harry nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he was feeling depressed now, so it seemed like a good idea to accompany Hermione for a walk around the library.

Ever since Harry learned that Hermione was trying every means to return to that dangerous dreamland during the Christmas holidays, Harry had begun to avoid conversations with Hermione, intentionally or unintentionally.

"So Harry...you almost had a fight with Snape?" Hermione asked as she walked away.

"Well..." Harry replied dully.

"What's the reason?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing..." Harry replied vaguely, "He...he said bad things about Sirius..."

Harry couldn't say it was because Snape called him stupid and lazy.

"Oh... okay." Hermione smiled coquettishly, "Your personalities seem to be really incompatible... I really don't know why Tiera chose him to be your personal trainer. .”

"Yeah, I don't know." Harry replied.

"By the way, Hermione." Harry suddenly remembered something, "Well...recently...is Professor Slughorn still busy recently?"

Harry asked reluctantly. He learned from Tiera that Hermione was kicked out of the Philosopher's Stone research team, so at this time he asked Hermione if Horace Slughorn was busy now. Harry felt more or less guilty.

But he had to ask, although he also hated Horace Slughorn's over-enthusiasm, over-enthusiasm was better than being humiliated in front of Snape.

"Ah...I don't know." Hermione said, then lowered her head and blushed, "You know...I...I dreamed about Kadath, So Tiela has been kicked out of the research group."

"What's wrong? You want Slughorn to teach you Occlumency?" Hermione guessed Harry's intention immediately.

"Hmm..." Harry nodded.

"Snape and I really don't get along," Harry said, "so I want someone else to teach me."

"Can't Tiera?" Hermione asked.

"He doesn't agree. He rejected me twice." Harry said disappointedly.

"So I thought Horace Slughorn or perhaps Professor Dumbledore... might be able to teach me Occlumency," Harry added.

"Hmm..." Hermione gave a long "hmm", "Maybe you can mention it to Horace in class one day?"

"After Christmas, I saw him in the corridors of Hogwarts a lot more often." Hermione said, "Maybe he has some time off."

"Alas..." Harry sighed. He found that he had been sighing more and more recently, almost like a little old man. "I hope, I really can't bear to learn from Snape anymore." Occlumency, he is simply unreasonable!"
