Chapter 695 Test
The three of them reached the intersection of Privet Drive. Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Maomao, "Fish?"
The cat raised its head slightly, sniffed from side to side, and moved its ears around, and then said: "There is no one else nearby, meow."
So Dumbledore shook his head and said in a brisk tone: "Then what are you waiting for? Come up quickly!" Then he turned to look at Harry, "You must not have passed the Apparition test, right? Then you need to hurry up Hold on to my arm." He stretched out his left hand.
With a slight leap, Fish transformed into a tabby cat and jumped onto Dumbledore's shoulder, and Harry grabbed his outstretched forearm.
"Very well," said Dumbledore, "Okay, let's go."
This was not the first time that Harry had been apparated, but no matter how many times he had experienced it, the feeling of being stuffed into a rubber tube and then squeezed out made him feel very uncomfortable.
Among the three methods of fast travel commonly used by wizards: floo powder, portkeys, and Apparition, Apparition is the one with the worst experience, so even though it is the most convenient, it is still the method least used by wizards...
Of course, it has something to do with the fact that this spell is difficult to learn.
"Well..." Harry calmed down for a while before he recovered. He looked around and asked curiously: "Professor, where is this?"
The place where they were standing now looked like the courtyard of an abandoned village, with an ancient war monument and several benches erected in the middle.
"Let's put this issue aside for now." Dumbledore did not answer his question, but said: "Before going on today's adventure, there is something I want to talk to you about."
He pointed to the bench beside him and said, "Let's go over and sit down and talk. Also, Fei Xu, please pay attention to your surroundings for me, and alert you in time if anyone approaches."
"Meow~"
(=`=)
The kitten squatting on his shoulder responded, its triangular ears standing high and turning from time to time.
The two came to the bench and sat down. Dumbledore asked: "How is your Occlumency practice going? Does the scar still hurt recently?"
Hearing this, Harry subconsciously reached out and touched the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead before replying: "No, my scar has never hurt during this time. As for the Occlumency, Professor Snape said I have already started, all I have to do is keep practicing...I have been training myself during this time.”
"So..." Dumbledore took out his wand and asked, "Do you mind if I test it?"
Harry noticed that the skin of Dumbledore's right hand seemed a little gray and seemed a little thinner than his left hand, especially the index finger of his right hand, which was so dark that it was almost invisible at night. The first thing Harry saw was At that time, I even thought his index finger was broken.
Before he could ask, Fish, who was squatting on Dumbledore's shoulder, saw that there was something good to watch, and immediately jumped down and changed back to his human form.

"Albus, are you going to use Legilimency on Harry?"
"If Harry allows it." Dumbledore smiled faintly and looked at Harry.
At this moment, Harry had no time to ask about Dumbledore's finger. He couldn't help but hesitate when he thought that his memory might be seen by Dumbledore.
But he also understood that Dumbledore did this to confirm whether Voldemort would invade his head again, so that he could tell him something more easily.
So Harry only hesitated for two or three seconds, then nodded firmly and said, "No problem!"
"Be careful." Dumbledore warned, then softly recited the spell: "Legilimency."
Probably because he had been subjected to Legilimency by Snape too many times, Harry immediately felt the difference between the two in this spell.
If Snape's Legilimency was like holding an awl and forcefully drilling into his head, then Dumbledore's Legilimency was like water, slowly seeping in.
Harry couldn't determine the difference in resistance difficulty between the two, but what was certain was that Dumbledore's Legilimency would be even harder to detect, if he hadn't been undergoing the baptism of this spell for the past year. , and if Dumbledore didn't take the initiative to remind him, he probably wouldn't have been able to find out that Dumbledore had taken action.
Dumbledore probably wanted to test whether I could detect whether Voldemort was secretly checking my memory, right?
Harry thought to himself.
However, such thoughts only passed away for a moment, because he had to concentrate and try hard to block Dumbledore's spell from his thoughts.
He quickly calmed down and eliminated all the distracting thoughts and unnecessary emotions from his mind. The expression on his face also became calm, and there was a faint shadow of Snape.
When Dumbledore tested Harry, he did not use all his strength, so although Harry had some reluctance, he still blocked Dumbledore's Legilimency.
Just when Dumbledore was satisfied and wanted to withdraw the spell, the cat on the side suddenly assisted: "Albus, while Harry likes Qiu, he also likes Ginny Meow. Hermione said he is a lecher... …What do you mean by a lustful person?”
(ω)
Maomao still remembered the "Legilimency tricks" that Snape taught him. Seeing that Harry actually blocked Dumbledore's spell, he subconsciously used it.
Harry, who had been struggling to resist, was distracted for a moment when Fish said this, and Dumbledore's spell immediately seized on this flaw and successfully invaded his head.
Just as Harry was hurriedly trying to block Legilimency out of his head again, he suddenly heard Dumbledore say: "Harry, try to remember how you felt when you contacted Voldemort before."
At the same time, he also increased the power of Legilimency.
After being briefly stunned, Harry decisively followed Dumbledore's instructions and began to try to recall those dreams in the Department of Mysteries and the burning feeling of the scar.
But even though he suppressed his blush and sweat poured out on his forehead, he couldn't see the slightest bit of the situation on Voldemort's side.
"Okay," Dumbledore put away his wand and said, "It seems that Voldemort also thinks it is dangerous for you to enter his thoughts and emotions, so he also used Occlumency on you."
He looked at Harry, who was sweating profusely but still unwilling. He smiled and said calmly: "I just tried it on a whim. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. But your Occlumency needs to be improved." It’s relatively safe.”
"I will." Harry nodded solemnly, "So, are we going to continue...'adventure' now?" He stood up and asked.
"No," Dumbledore pulled him back to the bench. "Although your Occlumency is still a little immature, it is enough for the moment. You just need to continue to strengthen it in the future." He looked at Harry seriously. Said: "Next I will tell you... the prophecy about you and Voldemort."
Harry instantly cheered up, he was finally able to know the specific content of the prophecy!
