Five minutes before dinner was to start that day, Snape arrived at the hall with a house-elf.

Maybe it was because he had been tortured for several days, but Harry seemed to have developed some special sensing ability. He instinctively looked up the moment Snape walked into the hall.

At the same time, he also saw the house-elf next to him.

"Dobby?"

Harry called out uncertainly after Snape left.

He felt that this house-elf was very similar to the Malfoy house-elf who had tried every means to protect him in his second year.

But he wasn't so sure.

Because the house-elf at that time was only wearing a dirty and torn tea towel, and this one now... well, Harry had never seen an elf dressed so well.

He wore a hand-woven wide-brimmed hat that just covered his big ears, and carried a brand new brown leather suitcase in his hand.

It was a jacket of the perfect size, clean and novel in style, with many pockets of different shapes. The material was very similar to the dragon breeder's work clothes Charlie wore, and it looked very sturdy.

And the boots on his feet, Harry was a little unsure for a moment whether they were made of cowhide or dragonhide.

It doesn't look like cowhide, but isn't it a bit too exaggerated for a house elf to wear fire dragonhide boots?

Plus, they all looked almost the same, so it was normal for Harry to not be sure.

Until the house elf waved at him excitedly and screamed, "Mr. Harry Potter still remembers Dobby. Dobby is so happy."

"It's really you." Harry was surprised: "But why are you with Snape? Are you working for him?"

"No, Dobby works for Mr. Scamander," the elf said.

"Scamander?" Harry frowned. He felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Yes, Mr. Scamander asked Dobby to come to Hogwarts to find Professor Snape, so Dobby came."

Hearing that it was related to Snape, Harry immediately lost interest in this person and asked, "What are you doing at Hogwarts?"

As he said this, Harry suddenly felt inexplicably flustered, and he couldn't tell why.

It might be because of what Dobby had done before... He said he wanted to protect him, but he intercepted letters and blocked the station passages, which really gave him a hard time.

Harry was really afraid that Dobby would try to protect him again.

"Dobby is here to look for Mr. Kyle." The elf then remembered his mission and looked around quickly.

At this time, Kyle just walked in from outside.

"Ah, Mr. Kyle." Dobby ran over quickly.

Seeing this, Harry breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, they were not here to protect him.

But for some reason, that feeling of panic did not disappear with Dobby's departure, but became more obvious.

"Maybe it's because Snape attacked me too many times..." Harry couldn't think of the reason and could only comfort himself in this way.

On the other side, Kyle was also a little surprised when he saw Dobby running over.

"I thought Newt would come."

"Mr. Scamander said it was not appropriate for him to be at Hogwarts right now, so Dobby was sent here."

"No, it's a perfect time for him to come," Kyle muttered quietly, somewhat disappointed.

But Dobby is here now, so we can’t let him go back…

"Forget it," Kyle said, "Come with me."

He took Dobby to the empty common room and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

"Here." Dobby held up the suitcase in his hand. "Mr. Kyle, are you sure there is no one else here? Mr. Scamander said that this cannot be seen by others, otherwise you will be expelled from school."

"Don't worry, everyone else has gone to the auditorium, and there are only two of us here now," Kyle said.

"That's good." Dobby then opened the box, revealing two sapphire-like eyes inside.

"And this." Dobby took out another bulging bag.

"What's this?"

"Mrs. Scamander just made some grapefruit cookies. She asked me to bring you some."

By the time Kyle returned to the auditorium, dinner had already begun.

"Where's the house elf?" Kanna asked, looking behind him.

"I've already gone back." Kyle said. He took out two cookies from the bag and handed them to Connor. "Try them and see how they taste."

Kanna took it and took a bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's delicious. Where did this come from? From the Hogwarts kitchen?"

"No, it was made by Tina...Mrs. Scamander. Her craftsmanship is from a great baker." Kyle said, "If you like, I can take you there during the holidays..."

"I'm sorry, Kanna has to go to Austria this holiday to participate in the membership review of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and can't accompany you to meet Mrs. Scamander."

A snake-like cold voice came from behind.

Kyle felt a chill on his neck and turned around to see Snape standing behind him with an expressionless face.

"Professor, I didn't realize you were here too." Kyle laughed dryly.

"Of course you didn't notice." Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "Where's the thing? Give it to me."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Kyle said, "The kid has just been brought here and hasn't adapted yet. He will attack any stranger who approaches him.

"Of course, Professor, you can definitely handle it, but it would be troublesome if you accidentally get hurt or hit it, right... leave this kind of small matter to me."

"What about tomorrow?" Snape asked in a long tone, "I don't think Potter can deal with a 5X magical beast with aggressive tendencies."

"I can handle it, Professor," Kyle said. "One night is enough."

Snape stared at him for a while, then leaned over and said meaningfully, "Then you must remember not to let me see it again..."

After saying this, he stood up again and strode out of the auditorium.

Only after his figure completely disappeared did Kyle breathe a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the uneaten toast and sausages on the plate in front of him and decisively pushed them aside, preparing to take them back for the Nangdu leopard to taste. He also took a new portion for himself.

Who knows if Snape had added some special "seasoning" to his food just now? Although the possibility of such a thing happening is small, Kyle still thinks it is better to be cautious.

Watching his actions, Kanna couldn't help but laugh and picked up another cookie.

Kyle sighed.

The most annoying thing about Snape is that he walks with almost no sound and always appears nearby at the critical moment.

Kyle has encountered this several times, and it's quite annoying.

After dinner, Kanna went to the library as before, planning to read more books before curfew.

Kyle didn't follow along since he didn't have to write any plans today.

On the other side, Harry also returned to the dormitory.

Everyone else had gone home and there was no one to chat with. Feeling bored, Harry lay down on the bed early and fell asleep in a daze.

…

the next day.

Although he was very reluctant, Harry still arrived at the dungeon at the agreed time.

There was still one minute until nine o'clock. Harry stood in the corridor as usual, ready to go in at exactly nine o'clock.

But at this moment, the office door was opened from the inside.

Kyle walked out and met Harry's eyes.

"I was just about to look for you." Kyle said, "Let's not study here today, let's go somewhere else."

"Where to?" Harry asked.

"Eighth floor, Room of Requirement," Kyle said.

"The Room of Requirement..." Harry suddenly became nervous. "Snape knows where it is too?"

"No, he doesn't know yet. That's the place I picked." Kyle came to the stairs and said as he walked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn brain block from me? Snape agreed."

Harry felt a huge sense of surprise. This was simply the best news he had heard in the past month.

"Well, of course it's true." Kyle said casually, "But there is one thing I must remind you, I don't know how to teach other people to learn brain block... Don't look at me like that, I really don't know."

Seeing Harry's skeptical expression, Kyle continued, "However, if you agree, I can recommend to you the way I learned Occlumency."

"Of course I agree," said Harry eagerly, "as long as I don't see Snape again."

"Don't talk so early..." Kyle said softly.

Soon the two arrived at the eighth floor. Kyle opened the door of the Room of Requirement and walked in first, and Harry hurriedly followed.

He found himself in a very large room, so large that he could not see the end of it. Above his head was not a ceiling, but a sky with white clouds floating in the sky. Under his feet was soft grass. Not far away, there was a lake almost as big as the Black Lake.

For a moment, Harry thought he was out on the field.

"It's so nice here..." Harry closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze blowing towards him.

Read more of the latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

As expected of Kyle, the study location he chose is far better than Snape's.

It's definitely better to learn Occlumency in such a comfortable place than in a dark and cramped office! "How should I do it?" Harry asked impatiently.

"Don't be in a hurry." Kyle clapped his hands.

With a low growl, Harry suddenly found himself in front of him...

Leopard... tiger... lion? Harry didn't know what kind of animal it was. It looked like a cat magnified many times, but it had six legs.

Whether it's a cat or a tiger...it's impossible for them to have six legs, right?

Harry's doubts were soon answered.

"This is a panther," Kyle said. "It is a magical creature classified as 5X by the Ministry of Magic. It is extremely dangerous."

Harry's eyes showed a hint of fear and he took two steps back unconsciously.

5X, isn't that the same as a fire dragon?

No wonder it has six legs! Don't mess with this weird-looking magical animal.

"Of course, this leopard cat in front of us is special. It won't attack you," Kyle explained.

To verify this statement, he even scratched the cat's chin under Harry's horrified gaze.

The other party immediately narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and made bursts of contented purring, looking like a bigger cat.

This gradually put Harry's mind at ease. He asked in confusion, "But Kyle, why is there a cat in the Room of Requirement... um, where is the cat-leopard?"

"Of course I borrowed it." Kyle continued, "In fact, I first learned the brain block technique from it.

"Catcats are natural Legilimency masters, just like Tonks' Metamorphmagus. Their blue eyes can see through everything, including your heart."

Harry raised his head subconsciously and looked into those blue eyes.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, and the feeling was even stronger than Snape's magic.

Subconsciously, Harry wrapped his robes tighter around him.

"You've got to be kidding me," he faltered. "I mean how is that possible? It's just a magical creature. How can it possibly have Legilimency?"

The cat-leopard whimpered.

"You've already felt it, haven't you?" Kyle said with a smile, "This is the unique ability of the cat-leopard pair, and it's also the reason why they are classified as 5X magical animals.

"Plus, their intelligence is far superior to other magical animals... To some extent, the cat-leopard is even more dangerous than the dragon."

Harry pursed his lips.

"But it feels different to me," he said. "Snape's Legilimency doesn't work like that."

"It's the same thing, actually." Kyle shrugged and explained, "It's just that Professor Snape used a more complicated method to let you see your own memories."

"I knew he had bad intentions," Harry said subconsciously.

Kyle raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Harry suddenly said that, but he didn't care too much.

After being tormented by Snape for so long, it is normal for Harry to assume the worst of him.

"Okay, let's continue." Kyle took out a piece of warthog leg meat and fed it to the cat-leopard, saying: "My method is actually similar to Professor Snape's. I use Legilimency to force you to learn the brain-blocking technique. The only difference is that the person attacking you is not me, but the cat-leopard."

"Let me deal with the cat-cat?" Harry screamed, and even his voice changed.

He felt that his chances of winning against Cat Leopard were only 30% to 70%.

He lasted three minutes and the cat-leopard was only 70% full... Did Kyle think too highly of him by asking him to deal with a magical animal that was as famous as a fire dragon?

He heard the low whimpering sound again.

"Cat Leopard said it won't take that long. You can only last a minute at most..." Kyle said casually.

Harry's face turned even paler and his legs began to tremble. He just wanted to learn a spell. There was no need to risk his life.

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous." Kyle waved his hand, "Don't worry, this cat taught me how to block my brain. It has a lot of teaching experience in this area and knows how to handle it well."

"It doesn't matter if you regret it. I can send you back to the basement classroom."

"No!" said Harry firmly. "I'd rather face the panther than go back to the dungeon."

"Then you have to think about it." Kyle said, "If you choose to stay here, you will not be able to leave until school starts, unless you can learn the brain block technique in advance."

"What about eating and sleeping?" Harry asked.

"It's also here." Kyle pointed to a small wooden house not far away. "That's where you live. The layout inside is similar to that of a dormitory. As for meals... I'll ask the elves to help deliver them."

"Okay." Harry agreed immediately without hesitation.

After making sure there was no danger, Harry was no longer so scared and was even vaguely excited.

Learning spells with 5X magical creatures is an experience not everyone can have. If Ron knew about this, he would definitely envy him... And Hermione, she certainly didn't expect that magical creatures could also be teachers.

"What should I do?"

"It's easy." Kyle took two steps back, "Don't get beaten too badly."

Before Harry understood what this meant, he saw the leopard, which had been as well-behaved as a house cat, suddenly stand up and rush over.

He subconsciously wanted to hide, but the leopard seemed to see through his thoughts and turned around to block him.

A tail hit Harry accurately with a sound of breaking wind, and directly knocked him away.

Harry let out a scream and groaned, holding his arm.

No, this is not what he thought... Didn't Kyle say there was no danger? Just as Harry was about to say something, the cat-leopard had already jumped in front of him again.

It was still that tail, whistling towards him like an iron rod.

Harry rolled on the spot, and then... he was whipped to the other side.

"Harry, don't forget the Occlumency technique." Kyle shouted from the side: "The leopard can see through your thoughts. It's useless to simply hide. Use the Occlumency technique! "Only when the leopard can't see, you have a chance to avoid its attack."

In response to another scream, Harry drew a graceful arc in the air and flew directly into the lake, splashing a lot of water.

Although this lake was just a showpiece and the deepest part was only up to a normal person's calf, Harry's wet appearance still made people feel sorry for him.

So Kyle chose not to watch.

After speaking a few more words to Cat and Leopard, he turned around decisively and left the Room of Requirement.

"That's much better now."

When he reached the corridor outside, Kyle let out a long sigh and walked downstairs in a happy mood.

Whether Harry can learn the brain-blocking technique depends on these few days, and in the meantime he will have time to take care of his own things.

As for Harry's safety, Kyle wasn't worried at all.

In addition to the panther, there are two house-elves further away in the room. If there is any emergency, they will use Apparition to take Harry away immediately.

In addition, Fox would go over to watch several times a day.

You have to know that when he first learned the brain-blocking technique, there was no such luxurious equipment, so Harry should just be happy about it.
