Study Days at Hogwarts

Before returning to the dormitory, Albert went to the library first to see what was going on there. After all, he had caused this incident himself, so he naturally had to pay attention to the subsequent development.

Passing by the library, he found several students around him looking into the library, as if they were curious about what was going on inside.

"What's going on?" Albert walked over and asked a student who was watching around.

"Not sure."

"Mrs. Pingsi is counting the books in the restricted area." A girl gossiped, "I heard that several books were taken away from the restricted area."

"The books in the restricted area are all quite dangerous." Someone came over to join the conversation.

Albert did not stay to continue to join in the fun. This matter had nothing to do with him. All the books he "borrowed" from the restricted book area were returned.

Returning to the dormitory, Albert took out ten galleons directly from the compartment of his suitcase and put them into a money bag made by transfiguration.

If ten Galleons could help Albert learn Occlumency, the money would be well spent.

Before mastering Occlumency, Albert would never have revealed the tiara to Dumbledore.

When Albert arrived at Classroom 17 used by the Transfiguration Club, he found that Isobel had already arrived early. She was sitting in her armchair and flipping through the latest issue of "Transfiguration Today".

"You came on time." The girl said without raising her head.

"It is a virtue to keep time." Albert took out the money bag from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Isobel. "The agreed tuition fees, I think we can start."

Isobel closed the magazine, raised her head and looked at the purse handed to her, reached out to take it and put it into her pocket, nodded and said, "Let's get started!"

"Won't you check it?" Albert reminded with a half-smile, "Maybe it's not Galleons but Nat."

Isobel's expression froze, she raised her head and glanced at Albert, and then, under the other's gaze, she took out her purse and took out a... Nat.

This guy definitely did it on purpose.

Isobel realized that she was being teased by the other party. He was really a guy with a bad personality!

"Sorry, I was just kidding." Albert had an unconcealable smile on his face, and he had just seen a moment of astonishment on Isobel's face.

With that said, Albert took out another money bag from his pocket and handed it to Isobel. As for the ten Nats just now, he had no intention of getting them back.

After the latter took it, he opened it and took a look at the Galleons inside. This time it was really Galleons.

"I think you should have read the "Advanced Occlumency Guide." Isobel put the money bag into his pocket and said meaningfully, "I think you should have been to the restricted book section of the library last night. , secretly borrowed that book!"

Isobel pointed out very simply that Albert was the culprit of last night's riot.

"No, I haven't had time to borrow the "Advanced Occlumency Guide" from the library to read it." Albert also denied this matter simply.

"Well, Occlumency is actually a kind of magic that can prevent the mind from being invaded and affected by magic. Generally, wizards who are good at using Occlumency are also good at Legilimency." Isobel didn't care at all about Albert's denial. In this case, two armchairs were pulled in and Albert sat opposite him. The two sides were only three feet apart. Albert could even feel Isobel's heartbeat and breathing.

He looked openly at the Ravenclaw genius in front of him. This was a very beautiful red-haired girl, but her temperament was a bit cold, or rather arrogant.

However, geniuses are like this, and it is not impossible for Albert to understand.

"...Some wizards are extremely good at Legilimency." Isobel noticed Albert looking at her, raised her eyebrows, and continued: "They can usually easily tell whether you are lying, Professor Snape. This is the best example. He can always tell if others are lying to him... Only wizards who are good at Occlumency can seal the feelings and memories that are contradictory to lies, and lie in front of a skilled telepathizer without being caught. Discover."

"Obviously, you are not a very good telegrapher, are you?" Albert blinked and made another harmless joke.

"Yes, I'm not a very good telegrapher." Isobel admitted it simply and continued: "One thing you must know is that eye contact is often crucial for telekinesis, so... look into my eyes. .”

Albert suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It seems that you are not ignorant about Legilimency and Occlumency." Isobel said after a moment of silence.

"You just used it, right?" Albert suddenly said.

"Yes." Isobel said: "I just used Legilimency to open a window in your eyes and extract the feelings and memories I need from the brain inside. The brain of an ordinary wizard is different for a Legilimency master. Say it without any defense. Of course, it is not easy to learn it."

"Do you know what I'm thinking about now?" Albert looked away with a malicious smile on his lips.

"It's useless even if you compliment me." Isobel said subconsciously: "Also, whether I will age prematurely has nothing to do with you."

"Sure enough, he was seen through directly." Albert looked at Isobel in surprise and continued, "It seems that your Legilimency is not as bad as you said!"

"What a nasty guy, put away your boring temptations." A trace of embarrassment flashed in Isobel's eyes, and she had realized that Albert's words just now were just to test her.

No matter which woman she is, she attaches great importance to her appearance, and the guy in front of her obviously knows this very well, and uses this to test her Legilimency level.

"Okay, I'm going to enter your brain and see your resistance." Isobel raised her wand and reminded: "You need to eliminate distracting thoughts, put aside all emotions, and try to prevent me from invading your brain."

"I know," Albert muttered.

"Prepare, three, two, one, Legilimency!" Isobel took action. Although Albert was mentally prepared in advance, the moment he was focused by the spell, he was still a little off guard:

The classroom swayed and disappeared in front of Albert's eyes, and pictures flashed through his mind like a movie.

At the age of six, Albert was riding a new bicycle in the park given by his parents.

At the age of eight, Albert was sitting on the sofa, telling fairy tales to his sister..."

Albert experienced this feeling with great interest, and he knew very well that Isobel was looking through his memory.

After a while, Albert began to try to prevent her from invading his brain, and began to consciously recall the books on economics and mathematics that he had read, preparing to use these memories to surround the opponent, and gradually deepen the knowledge and turn the pages. The feeling of one's own memories is pushed out of the brain.

"You succeeded." Isobel said with a bit of amazement in her tone. She had never thought that Albert had successfully resisted her Legilimency.

In particular, she also noticed that while pushing out her thoughts, she saw Albert subconsciously creating a maze to intercept her peek into his brain.

"Well, this feeling...it feels weird, not good!" Albert's breathing was a little rapid, and he found himself back in the classroom of the Transfiguration Club.

"Let me take a break." Albert took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, took a bite, and subconsciously asked, "Do you want it?"

Isobel glanced at the bitten chocolate, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still did not refuse Albert's kindness, took the chocolate, and folded a piece of the unbitten area at the back.

"You did a good job, much better than my first attempt." Isobel continued, "Now, you need to concentrate and use your brain to resist my invasion."

After all, after accepting other people's galleons, Isobel naturally still needs to do this well.

"I know what I should do!" Albert said casually. He began to try to check the skill panel, but unfortunately Occlumency still did not appear.

It seems that it will take a few more attempts.

Although it was expected, it was still quite depressing. Even though Albert didn't care about being seen with some of his childhood memories, he still felt a little unhappy.

"Eliminate distracting thoughts, concentrate your thoughts, and throw away all emotions." Isobel reminded, "I'm going to start!"

"Wait!" Albert suddenly raised his hand to stop the other party from casting a spell.

"Is there anything else?" Isobel paused with her arms and looked at Albert in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to do.

"Make it a soft cushion." Albert moved the armchair away, placed a soft cushion on the carpet, then sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, relaxed his body, and tried to enter a meditative state.

"It's time to begin!"

"Three, two, one, Legilimency!" Isobel cast the spell again.

When he was nine years old, Albert was in the kitchen helping his family make Nia's birthday cake...

At this moment, he was trying to free his mind as much as possible, focusing all his attention on excluding Isobel's thoughts, and the pictures in his mind gradually disappeared.

Albert opened his eyes suddenly and saw a moment of shock on Isobel's face.

Yes, even Isobel never thought that Albert could master Occlumency so quickly and resist his own invasion.

"You succeeded!" Isobel said suddenly, "I have nothing left to teach you."

With that said, she was about to get up and leave, but Albert stretched out his hand to hold Isobel's arm, because Albert had just flipped through the skill panel again, and Occlumency still didn't appear.

"This is not how you steal money." Albert looked at Isobel helplessly, "I feel that I have not successfully mastered Occlumency. Let's talk about things to pay attention to in Occlumency and Legilimency. , I am so sincere, you should also show some sincerity."

"Okay!" Isobel thought for a while and agreed. I don't know if she realized that she was too stupid or for other reasons. He began to explain to Albert her own use of Occlumency and Legilimency. understand.

The exchange between the two about Occlumency lasted for about half an hour.

Isobel is truly a genius. Even though she has just come into contact with Occlumency, she still has her own unique insights into this magic.

After listening to Isobel's explanation and trying several times in succession, Albert finally found that Occlumency appeared on his skill panel.

Looking at Occlumency on the skill panel, Albert couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had spent Galleons and not learned it, he would have been in trouble.

After upgrading Occlumency to Level 2, Albert closed his eyes and felt the changes brought about by the upgraded skills. When Albert opened his eyes again, his eyes became a little empty.

Isobel, who noticed Albert's changes, couldn't help but frown slightly.

"I think the deal between us has been completed!" Isobel said. When she stood up to leave, Albert reached out and held her back again.
