Chapter 649 The Holiday Ends
For the next time, Fish kept practicing Occlumency with Harry and Hermione.
The twins gave up at the beginning and stayed in their room all day long to develop new products. Ginny and Ron also chose to give up after trying the memory confusion spell.
Neville was quite interested, but his parents' condition had been getting better recently, and the therapist at St. Mungo's also said that having him by his side would help their recovery, so he stayed there most of the time. There was no time to learn Occlumency at St. Mungo's.
"Harry, why do you always care about that door... You won't achieve the effect of practice at all, meow."
(ω)
Fish lowered the wand in his hand and said dissatisfiedly to the pale Harry.
After seeing Harry's emotional problems, what Fish saw the most during this period was the corridor in Harry's dream and the door that had never been opened...
Cats have long been tired of seeing it!
If that's all, that's it. The key point is that after these days of practice, Harry has made no progress at all. And it's not that he hasn't improved after working hard, but that he hasn't worked hard at all...or It says the efforts are in the wrong direction.
With Hermione as a comparison, even if Fish did not take the initiative to learn Occlumency, he could still see from Harry's reaction that he was not very active in resisting his Legilimency. Instead, he took this opportunity to Keep recalling the dream of that mysterious corridor.
"I...I just...want to know what Voldemort is seeking," Harry defended himself: "Knowing his goal will be helpful to the Order of the Phoenix, right?"
"That's not what you should care about at all, Potter!" Professor McGonagall yelled from the side: "And we already know the target of the mysterious man! Otherwise, how do you think Arthur was injured?"
"Uh..." Harry was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask: "What's behind the door? Is it the 'weapon'?"
"I told you, this is not your concern, Potter!" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Your task now is to learn Occlumency. Don't forget, Voldemort has noticed the connection between you!"
"Yes, Harry." Fish also folded his hands in dissatisfaction and echoed: "Isn't it possible that your thoughts may be seen by Voldemort, meow? Wouldn't it be bad to tell you now, and then be seen by him again, meow?"
(ˇˇ)
"Feel sorry……"
Harry also felt that he really had water in his head before. Why did he inexplicably want to know what was behind that door?
Hmm... I must be under Voldemort's influence!
He would not admit that he just wanted to participate in the Order of the Phoenix's fight against Voldemort. In that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting what Snape said before, that he was an arrogant guy who only wanted to be in the limelight?
Harry inexplicably understood Sirius at this time. This situation of being abandoned by others, not needing you for anything, and not even telling you any news, is indeed very easy to make people anxious...
This is especially true for Gryffindors who are always restless and adventurous.
Although Harry corrected his attitude after this, his Occlumency still didn't make much progress, and even Hermione was about the same.
Now they can only resist Fish's Legilimency for a short time, and then their brains will be invaded. Even if they can get rid of it later, their memories will still be searched after all, so these will be meaningless.
This was just a case of Fish not taking it seriously. He hadn't even used words to guide him, and he hadn't even replaced his wand.
"Is this spell so difficult?"
(ω)
Maomao scratched his head and said in confusion: "Obviously Severus failed the first time he used Legilimency on Fish... Fish didn't feel Meow at all at that time."
Harry, who was sitting on a chair to recover, gave the Versailles cat a weak look, while Hermione angrily pinched the soft flesh around Fish's waist, causing the cat to grin in pain.
Fish quickly hugged Hermione and rubbed her cheek to calm her down.
"Oh, right meow!"
∑(ΦДΦ)
After comforting Hermione, Fish suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Severus said at the beginning that it might be because Fish was in cat form at the time, so he couldn't read the deep memories. Otherwise, you guys Try turning into an animal too, meow?”
"Why didn't you say this earlier!" Hermione tugged on Fei Xu's cat ears angrily.
"Fish forgot meow!" Maomao replied confidently.
"But this actually doesn't make much sense..." Harry shrugged and said, "I can't go to Hogwarts in the shape of a stag."
Hermione, however, had different ideas.
"If it really works, we can completely imitate the feeling of turning into an animal, and it may have unexpected effects!" She analyzed seriously.
Hermione, who had always learned everything very quickly, was severely hit when she was learning Occlumency, so naturally she couldn't let go of any hope.
"You can indeed try it. Even if it doesn't succeed, there will be no loss." Professor McGonagall also nodded in agreement: "And in Animagus form, emotions will indeed become simpler."
Although she also knew that Fish's situation probably had nothing to do with the Animagus, considering the characteristics of the Animagus itself and the fact that Sirius used this trick to escape from Azkaban, Professor McGonagall felt that Hermione's statement still makes sense.
So Harry and Hermione turned into their own Animagus, and then Fish beside him raised his wand.
"Legilimency! Meow!"
(ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.
"It really works!"
Hermione shouted excitedly after returning to her human form, and on the other side, Harry also showed an excited expression...
Having been stuck at the bottleneck for so long, I finally see hope of a breakthrough!
Although they were still unable to resist Feishu's spell in the end, they could clearly feel that in animal form, it would be easier to resist and last longer.
Of course, it is not easy to completely imitate the emotional state of an animal. Until the end of the Christmas vacation, Harry still failed to learn Occlumency.
Hermione managed to learn it reluctantly, but it depends on her mental state. Basically, on average, she can resist three or four times out of ten... Fish's most basic Legilimency.
And as long as Maomao distracts her with words, her defense will soon have holes, and Fish will seize the opportunity to successfully invade her.
On the last day of the Christmas holidays, Snape arrived.
"I think you already know from Professor McGonagall that after you return to school, I will teach you Occlumency... unless you have already learned it during the vacation..."
He glanced at Harry, who looked ugly, and gave a mocking smile.
"But it looks like you obviously failed to do it."
"Why can't Dumbledore teach him?" Sirius couldn't help but interjected: "Why you?"
"Isn't this normal?" Before Snape could speak, Fish answered for him: "Albus, that lazy guy, likes to leave work to others... Minerva does it for him. What happened, meow!”
(〃`3〃)
Maomao pouted angrily.
"I assure you, this is not what I came for." Snape curled his lips in disdain and said with a look of disgust on his face: "I'll be waiting for you in my office at six o'clock on Monday evening, Potter. If anyone asks, just say It’s for tutoring in Potions, and no one who has seen you perform in my class will deny that it is necessary.”
With that said, he stood up and planned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Sirius stopped him.
Snape turned to look at him and sneered.
"I'm busy, Blake...unlike you. I don't have unlimited free time..."
"Then let me speak frankly." Sirius also stood up and warned: "If I hear that you are trying to punish Harry by teaching him Occlumency, I will settle the score with you."
"Ah……"
Snape sneered and was about to retort when he heard Professor McGonagall slam the table.
"Okay!" She glared at the two of them sternly, "Sirius, I have already said before, Dumbledore and Fish both trust Severus, please stop making trouble unreasonably! And Severus , I know you don’t like Harry, but I hope you won’t betray everyone’s trust.”
"Of course," Snape nodded and said sarcastically, "I won't be as motivated as some idiots who secretly used the Floo Network and almost exposed the Order of the Phoenix."
Sirius blushed, but because he was wrong, he couldn't refute.
"Severus!" Professor McGonagall shouted helplessly.
Snape then closed his mouth, glanced at Sirius and Harry with a sneer, and then turned and left.
Fei Xu, who had been silent all this time, blinked and suddenly left his seat and chased after him.

According to Rowling's reason for saying that Harry can't learn Occlumency, most Gryffindors should not be very good at it, and conversely, Slytherins should be quite good at it...
This raises a question. If Slytherin is good at Occlumency, then Voldemort’s Legilimency is actually not that useful...┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
