In the next few days, he was doing his holiday homework in an empty classroom on the sixth floor. Looking out the window from here, he could just see Hagrid's hut clearly.

On this day, Kyle arrived here early as usual and sat in the familiar window seat. He wrote his holiday homework while glancing out the window from time to time.

Soon, he saw an owl fly to Hagrid's hut, drop a letter and fly away.

Hagrid took the letter and pretended to look around, then hurried into the room and closed the door.

Everything was exactly the same as it had been a few days before.

But just as Kyle was about to continue writing his potion homework, another person suddenly appeared near the Forbidden Forest.

It was Filch... He had been hiding behind a big tree and didn't come out until Hagrid closed the door.

Kyle immediately threw the quill in his hand aside and watched him sneak up to Hagrid's cabin and look out the window.

But the cabin was covered tightly with curtains, even the gaps in the wooden house were sealed, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Filch walked around outside twice but gained nothing, so he could only leave cursing.

Seeing this, Kyle immediately put away the homework on the table and prepared to go back to the common room to send the most important letter.

But on his way downstairs, he ran into Snape.

"I thought you had violated the school rules again and sneaked out of school." Snape said coldly, "How disappointing."

"Professor, I've been in school these days." Kyle said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

Kyle didn't intend to continue wasting time here with Snape, so he immediately walked around him and prepared to move forward.

But Snape stood in front of him again.

"Wait a moment." He said, "It's only been less than a week. I don't think you have forgotten what you promised the principal."

Kyle looked up at Snape, "If you mean helping Harry learn Occlumency... Of course I remember that."

"That's good." Snape glanced at him, "Come with me."

"Is it starting now?" Kyle didn't move.

The holidays weren't over yet. Normally, shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed after school starts? And Harry should still be at number 12, Grimmauld Place. They wouldn't go over there to teach him, would they? That was Sirius's turf.

"Yes, now..." Snape turned around and urged impatiently: "Come up quickly, don't make me say it for the third time!"

There was no choice but for Kyle to temporarily put aside the matter of returning to the common room to mail the letter and follow Snape's footsteps.

When they arrived at the dungeon, Kyle realized that Harry, who was supposed to be at number twelve Grimmauld Place, was actually standing there.

However, judging from his tense expression and heavy breathing, he must be very unhappy now. When he looked at Snape, his eyes were almost full of fire.

Of course, the same goes for Snape.

"Believe me Potter," he said softly, "if it wasn't for the Headmaster's request, I would never have allowed you to set foot here."

"Should I thank you for your generosity?" Harry said with gritted teeth, his face flushed.

He suspected Snape had definitely done it on purpose.

There are still ten days left before the end of the holiday, and Sirius has agreed to take him to Diagon Alley to choose new furniture for his own bedroom.

As a result, he had to come back to Hogwarts to learn the art of brain occlumency.

For a moment, Harry even thought about fighting Snape to death.

"Thanks are not necessary." Snape said calmly, as if he could not hear the anger in his tone. "As long as you can learn a little from the previous lessons and don't make me repeat what I have said countless times."

"But why now?" Harry couldn't help shouting, "Can't we wait until school starts?"

"It seems that you are more interested in having fun than thinking about the safety of the members of the Order of the Phoenix."

Snape said in a cold tone, "I have made it very clear last time, the Dark Lord has now noticed that you can sense his thoughts, and has deduced that this situation can be reversed... In other words, the Dark Lord has figured out that he can also sense your thoughts.

"Or do you think the Dark Lord is as arrogant and stupid as you are and knows nothing? "Or do you think this is just an exciting game... Invading the Dark Lord's mind is definitely more interesting than wizard chess, right?"

"I didn't!" Harry shouted. "I never thought of that."

"Huh..." Snape sneered, "If you didn't think so, you should have learned the brain block technique as soon as possible instead of complaining here that I delayed your vacation!"

Harry's face turned even redder. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say... It seemed like a voice in his head kept telling him that Snape was right.

"Okay, I understand." Harry said with difficulty: "I won't give Voldemort the opportunity to sense my thoughts..."

"Do not speak the Dark Lord's name!" Snape shouted.

There was an awkward silence as both glared at each other, but it finally ended with Harry giving in.

“What are we going to do?”

"It's the same as last time," Snape said, pulling his wand from his robes. "Try to protect your mind from being invaded... or defeat me, no matter what magic you use!"

"Professor Snape..." At this time, Kyle, who had been silent, suddenly came out and said, "As a qualified teaching assistant, I feel that I need to show Harry how to do it."

Snape didn't understand what this meant at first, until he saw the eager expression on Kyle's face and the wand in his hand.

"I obviously have a different opinion from you. A qualified teaching assistant does not need to act on his own." Snape said with a dark face, almost wanting to curse.

Naturally, he could say whatever he wanted to Harry. After all, the little magic Harry knew was not enough to do anything to him.

But Kyle is different...Snape has no plans to change his office for the time being.

At this time, Harry finally noticed that there was another person here besides Snape.

"Kyle, why are you here?" He said in surprise, "Are you also going to learn brain occlumency?"

For a moment, Harry was still very excited. It was much better to have someone familiar accompany him than to face Snape alone.

Before Kyle could explain, Snape said, "Potter, if you were aware that you still have ears, you would have noticed that we both mentioned the title of 'assistant' just now."

"Teaching assistant?"

"I'm glad you heard it this time. I shouldn't have to explain to you what the teaching assistant meant." Snape mocked. He glanced at Kyle and then looked at Harry again.

"If your Occlumency skills were half as good as his... no, even if they were only a third of his level, we wouldn't need to waste our time here right now."

Harry felt embarrassed again.

"Okay, enough nonsense." Snape raised his eyes.

He did not rush to cast a spell on Harry. Instead, he took out the Pensieve from the cabinet, then put the wand against his temple, drew out a wisp of silver memory, and let it fall gently into the Pensieve.

He repeated the same action three times in total.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. He finally understood why Snape wanted the Pensieve for.

The way Snape taught Harry to learn Occlumency was probably to use Legilimency to invade Harry's brain and force him to practice continuously.

Although this method has the best effect, it also has certain disadvantages. That is, in the process of using Legilimency, if the other party suddenly learns the brain occlusion technique...even if it only works for a moment by accident, Legilimency may be rebounded.

Kyle guessed that this must have happened when Snape first taught Harry Occlumency.

No wonder Snape was so angry a few days ago, now everything can be explained.

Harry accidentally rebounded Snape's Legilimency spell and took the opportunity to see some of the secrets hidden in his heart.

If that were the case, even a quick glance would have been enough to send Snape into a rage.

The solution to this problem is very simple. Just remove the memories that you don’t want others to see from your mind.

The Pensieve serves as a storage for memories.

It seems that these three memories are very important to Snape...what could they be?

Kyle was a little curious. He couldn't help but take a look at the meditation basin that was put back into the cabinet. However, the cabinet had been locked by Snape, and he had no chance to open it.

"Now, get ready..." Snape pointed his wand at Harry, "Legitimate!"

Harry's wand only had time to emit a flash of white light before his body became stiff and he fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"Weak!"

At the same time, Snape groaned and retracted his wand-holding hand.

There was a red and swollen mark on his wrist that looked like a brand.

"Stinging curse?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

I have to say, Harry's way of coping was pretty good.

Legilimency is a continuous magic, and one must always keep the connection between one's own magic power and the person being spied on...

When you don't know how to deal with this spell, it's a good idea to find a way to cut off the opponent's magic connection.

In addition to the Stinging Spell, there are also Disarming Spells, Repelling Spells, Exploding Spells, and even the Patronus Spell.

As Snape put down his wand, Harry slowly opened his eyes.

He was first surprised that he didn't feel any pain from the fall today, and then he looked at Snape with a wary look.

"Is this the only clever trick you can pull?" Snape asked coldly, rubbing his wrist.

"I……"

"Legendary!"

Harry was about to speak when Snape extended his wand again.

Harry's body stiffened again.

"No, stop..." He hissed and fell to the ground.

But this time, Snape stopped Kyle from softening the ground any further.

"Being injured a little bit will help him master this magic faster."

"So what else can I do?" Kyle asked.

"You don't have to do anything." Snape glanced at him, "Just watch from the side."

Kyle shrugged and said nothing.

At the same time, Harry was awakened by the pain of his knee hitting the table.

"You are attacking me by surprise." He looked at Snape angrily and shouted, "I am not ready yet."

"Your enemies won't let you prepare in advance." Snape scolded, "I find it hard to believe that you really take this matter to heart. After so many days, you haven't made any progress at all."

Harry glared fiercely.

But Snape showed no concern and continued, "Eliminate distractions, Potter, I have reminded you, put aside all emotions, this is the key to learning the brain block technique..."

Kyle nodded beside him.

What Snape said was true. The most important thing about Occlumency is concentration, eliminating all distractions and resisting the invasion with all your strength.

And unnecessary emotions will inevitably distract attention, especially in Harry's current situation. Although he looks very powerful when shouting, it will not help him learn the brain-blocking technique.

"Come again, be prepared... Legilimency!"

Harry fell again, banging his knee hard on the ground.

"You didn't do it, Potter...you need to discipline yourself and focus your thoughts...try again!"

For the next period of time, Harry seemed to be at odds with the floor of Snape's office, hitting it in a different way each time.

Sometimes it’s the knees that land, sometimes it’s the arms…if you don’t know, you might think this is some kind of wrestling training.

Kyle was probably the most relaxed person in the room. At Snape's request, he would only help soften the ground when Harry was headfirst.

"Get up Potter, you didn't do it, you didn't make an effort, I told you to put your feelings aside!"

"I tried my best!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

"Tried?" Snape said sternly, "I just let you look at your memories before the age of ten, and you gave up all resistance and yelled for me to get out! " "A weak person like you is simply vulnerable in front of the Dark Lord, Potter."

"I'm not weak." Harry clenched his fists, as if he might rush over and punch Snape at any time.

"Then prove it... Legilimency!"

As expected, Harry fell to the ground again.

"I asked you to let go of your feelings!"

"no!"

"Control your anger!"

…

From the office came the sound of Snape's scolding and the sound of Harry falling to the ground.

Two hours passed like this, and Harry finally... fainted.

He lay on the ground with a frown on his face, one hand covering the scar on his forehead and the other hand waving unconsciously.

Kyle walked over and said thoughtfully, "Professor Snape, he won't enter the mind of You-Know-Who again."

Snape didn't say anything, but his face was extremely gloomy.

A large ball of water appeared out of nowhere and hit Harry directly in the face.

Harry woke up and fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

"You saw it again, didn't you?" Snape asked, staring at Harry. "Into the Dark Lord's mind."

"I...I didn't..." Harry's eyes dodged.

"Liar!" Snape shouted.

Harry didn't say anything either, and the two of them just remained in a stalemate.

"How about we let Harry go back first?" Kyle came out to smooth things over. "Two hours is more than enough. If we use Legilimency again, he might not be able to hold on."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Harry's eyes, and he couldn't wait to leave here.

Snape stared into Harry's eyes for a long time before he spoke: "We will continue practicing at the same time tomorrow.

"Remember what I said last time, clear out all emotions before going to bed, so that your mind becomes empty and calm."

"Okay," Harry said, and walked away without looking back.

…

“I don’t think he listened.”

Looking at the door that was closed again, Kyle couldn't help but say...Harry's thoughts were almost written on his face, and it could be seen at a glance.

He just wanted to leave quickly and didn't care what Snape said.

"Arrogant, sentimental fool." Snape took a deep breath.

"Then I'll go back too, Professor," Kyle said.

"Wait a minute." Snape turned to look at him and said sinisterly, "As an assistant teacher, now is the time to play your role. Help Potter develop a plan for learning Occlumency, including what to pay attention to and what to do in normal times... It must be at least three feet long. Give it to me by this time tomorrow."

"But I have other things to do." Kyle wanted to refuse.

My goodness, a three-foot-long plan... If he agrees to it, he won’t be able to accomplish anything today.

"That's not something I need to consider." Snape said, "Since you have promised the headmaster, you must fulfill the responsibilities of an assistant unless you can turn down this job.

"But I must remind you that the principal is not in school recently. No matter what you think, you have to wait until he comes back."

Kyle's mouth twitched... So he had to write this plan? If he had known this would happen, he should have insisted on showing Harry how to resist Legilimency.
