At eight o’clock at night, Harry pushed open the door of the Ancient Rune’s office on time.
“Take a seat anywhere you like.” Felix said, as he sat in a recliner behind his desk, and began to read the newspaper. Harry looked around when Niffler Valen pointed to an armchair on Harry’s left.
Harry mouthed a thank you to Valen, moved the chair over to sit across from the professor, and waited quietly. After two or three minutes, Felix put down the paper in his hand and smiled: “You may be curious about the purpose for why I called you here, it’s actually quite simple, I was entrusted by Headmaster Dumbledore to teach you Occlumency.”
Then he briefly introduced it: “This is a kind of spell that prevents your mind from being invaded by outsiders.”
“Why do I have to learn the Occ- learn this thing?” Harry froze, and the next second his heart began to pound as he thought of the reason behind it, so he asked him with difficulty, “Because of that dream I had?”
“As far as I know, this is not the first time it happened to you, right?” Felix inquired gently.
“I, uh – yes, there was another time during the summer.” Harry had to admit it. “But-”
He looked at Felix eagerly, “Sirius said it might have something to do with my scar, and in my first year, Headmaster Dumbledore also said that Voldemort’s unsuccessful killing curse tied me with him.”
Felix shook his head and said in a low voice, “That’s barely accurate.”
“From the looks of it, for now, it’s just you peering into Voldemort’s mind one-sidedly, which is possible because he’s not strong enough and didn’t notice your little stunt, but …” he paused and looked at Harry.
With a long acquaintance, Harry followed Felix’s train of thought to think further, and a terrible notion was derived, so he couldn’t help but gulp, “You are thinking that Voldemort might pry into my thoughts in turn? This, this is really-”
Doesn’t seem like a big deal, Harry thought dumbly. He is just a student, worrying about completing different subject assignments every year, and if Voldemort did see these thoughts, he would probably become rather impatient.
“Do not underestimate your position in Voldemort’s mind, Harry.” Felix said calmly: “You ruined his reign of darkness with your own hands, if there is someone he hates the most and whom he fails to understand, that person is most likely you, otherwise he would not have arranged for his most trusted servant to infiltrate Hogwarts and risk putting your name into the Goblet of Fire … ”
Speaking of which, he looked at Harry thoughtfully.
It reminds him that Voldemort is severely understaffed, and his first priority should be arranging his resurrection, not exposing his presence by causing trouble at Hogwarts – even if Voldemort desperately wants Harry to participate in his rebirth party.
Unless, Harry’s role is more important than one might think, and even directly determines the success or failure of Voldemort’s resurrection …
“Professor? Professor Hap?”
“Sorry, I got a little sidetracked. In addition to what I just said, you also know a lot of information that is valuable to Voldemort, such as the movement of Headmaster Dumbledore, some people close to you, or … Horcruxes. You don’t want to expose these, do you?”
Harry’s expression became quite torn. On the one hand, he wanted to enter Voldemort’s mind once again, especially since Voldemort now has a powerful henchman, it is the key moment when he will plan to resurrect; on the other hand, he certainly knows the risks involved.
“Then will you teach me the mind, the Occ–” Harry said, Felix glanced at him, ” It is Occlumency.” Harry hurriedly said, “That’s right, Occlumency, are you trying to get me to sever the connection with him? To prevent leakage of information from our side?”
Felix looked impassive.
“So your opinion is-”
“My opinion?” Harry asked, puzzled.
“Do you agree to learn the Occlumency?”
“Can I refuse?” Harry asked in a whisper as he looked at him.
“Of course, I respect your choice, it’s never advisable to force this sort of thing.”
Harry smiled, “It’s good to learn more, Professor.” He felt particularly like Hermione with that comment.
Felix knocked on the table, his perspective silently changed, all the decorations colour in the office all turned gray, only some items with magic bloomed with a magic glow, he stared at Harry, making Harry uncomfortable.
“Since you have decided,” he straightened up, “then we will start now.”
Harry stood up after he said that, unconsciously searching for a spot, hoping from the bottom of his heart that he would find a cushion or something on the floor. Then he noticed Professor Hap looking at himself oddly, “What are you thinking?”
“Uh … Professor, don’t we need to put up a cushion?” Harry gestured, ” We need it for our dueling practice sessions …”
Felix looked at him and let out a gentle Sigh, “It seems you don’t know much about this subject.” He beckoned, parchment and quill on the table automatically flew up, the blue quill reached into the ink bottle, dipping into the ink, “swish swish swish” and wrote down a string of book titles, Harry watched from the sidelines with trepidation.
When the list of books floated to him, he took it with a trance and stared at it for a few seconds before he read the first title, “Occlumency,” followed by a long list. Harry felt so frustrated like he had scored a zero on the second task.
“This is the reference book you need to read when you go back,” Felix said: “I will briefly introduce this aspect of knowledge.”
“Speaking of Occlumency, we have to mention the Legilimency and Obliviate, the Thinking Room, and a series of other magics,” Felix gestured for Harry to sit on the couch as he sat opposite to him and pulled out his wand, and with just a flick of the wand, the fire in the fireplace blazed up.
“They are all classified as memory magic, but in fact, they greatly differ, of which – Occlumency and Legilimency are the most closely related, yet opposed to each other.”
“Professor, what is Legilimency?”
“In a way that you can understand, it is something akin to mind reading art that is widely spoken among the general population, a kind of magic that is used to invade other person’s minds to read emotions and memories. Of course – I must emphasize the point that there is a big difference between Legilimency and mind-reading, and I want you to read the book to understand the specific concept and write about it as an essay – you must explain the difference between the two.”
Harry felt some bitterness in the corners of his mouth.
But he suddenly realized something and asked, “Professor, are you planning to read my mind and then let me use Occlumency to defend myself?” He didn’t feel very comfortable about it, and if the professor saw some private memories, he would definitely be vexed and ashamed.
“That’s just one of the methods.” Felix commented, “An efficient method – to speed up your mastery of the Occlumency through offensive and defensive real-life warfare at the mental plane. But frankly, we have plenty of time, at least until Voldemort is resurrected, we have no major concern, of course, if you’re in a hurry to learn …” Felix looked at him mischievously.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Harry hastily said, “I like to choose other methods.”
