Chapter 145 Occlumency
Chapter 145 Occlumency
During Harry's questioning, Aerys and his companions also learned some secret things.
Professor Dumbledore is the only wizard Voldemort fears. Because of Harry, Professor Dumbledore reorganized the Order of the Phoenix within an hour after Voldemort regained his strength.
Harry's survival also disrupted Voldemort's plans and made the person Voldemort least want to be wary of him: Professor Dumbledore... become sufficiently alert to him. You know, it is impossible for Voldemort to rely on his "remaining power" from more than ten years ago to fight against the entire wizarding world.
What Professor Dumbledore has to do is to obstruct Voldemort's plans as much as possible: increase the number of Death Eaters, expand his power, win over various dark magic creatures and demons... and so on.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix were working hard to stop Voldemort from gaining more powerful power, but their efforts were ineffective because of the Ministry of Magic, or more precisely... because of Fudge.
No matter how hard Professor Dumbledore tried, Fudge refused to accept reality. He was convinced that Professor Dumbledore wanted to seize his position as Minister of Magic.
Fudge used his influence to revoke Professor Dumbledore's position as Chief Grand Master of the Supreme Wizarding Court, but Professor Dumbledore just said: "As long as you don't remove my picture from the chocolate frog reward, I don't care what Connery does."
In addition to followers, Voldemort is also interested in some other things, such as something he didn't get last time, such as... a weapon...
"That's enough..." Mrs. Weasley suddenly stepped out from the shadows, her chest heaving violently, "You've told them enough. What do you want to do? Let a few underage wizards directly join the Order of the Phoenix?"
"Don't give us orders, Mom..." Fred wanted to protest, but...
"How dare you say that again, Fred Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley roared, causing Fred and George to shrink their heads.
"Harry knows enough, Sirius!" Mrs. Weasley continued. "Telling him more secrets would be like letting him join the Order of the Phoenix directly..."
"Why not?" Harry said immediately, "I want to join, I am willing to join, Voldemort wants my life, then I will fight him to the end..."
"No! Harry, only wizards who have reached a certain age can join the Order of the Phoenix..." Remus ignored Fred and George who were eager to try, and continued, "Wizards who have reached a certain age and graduated from school. Molly is right, Sirius, we have revealed enough to Harry."
Sirius shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Under Mrs. Weasley's fiery gaze, everyone left the kitchen and went to their respective rooms to sleep.
Mrs. Weasley had a stern face and made sure everyone entered their own bedroom before she left. But she came back within a quarter of an hour to see if everyone was sleeping well, just like a dormitory manager.
Aries didn't know what was going on in the other bedrooms. In fact, after he and Draco lay down on their respective beds, they whispered to each other for a few words. Most of the time, it was Draco who did the talking, and Aries just responded perfunctorily. Then Aries fell into a deep sleep in this wonderful atmosphere.
The next day, after breakfast, they still cleaned the rooms. Aries explained the situation to Mrs. Weasley and decided to give Harry "extra lessons" in the living room on the second floor.
"Oh! Of course," said Mrs. Weasley kindly, "Dumbledore has told me, go ahead, you don't have to worry about cleaning the room."
Aries took Harry to the living room on the second floor and closed the door tightly.
"What are we doing here, Aeris?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Teach you Occlumency!" Aeris said, looking around the living room.
This was a very luxurious room, or rather...it had been luxurious before, but now it looked dirty and messy, with a high ceiling and olive green walls hung with dirty tapestries. On the tapestry was a family tree with branches and branches, and at the highest position of the tapestry were embroidered with a few golden words: The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black, Forever Pure.
This place has been hastily cleaned, but it still can't hide its dilapidated state.
"What?" Harry demanded. "What... Occlumency? Aren't we allowed to do magic outside of school?"
"Professor Dumbledore has cast a concealing spell on this room," said Aris. "The Ministry of Magic cannot detect it from here, but once you leave this room..."
Aeris smiled bitterly and continued, "The so-called brain occlumency is a kind of magic that resists the infiltration of external spirits. It can seal your brain and sort out your emotions to resist the invasion and influence of some magic."
"But why should I learn this?" Harry asked again in confusion.
"Since Voldemort's resurrection, your temper has become worse and worse. Can't you notice it?" Aerys asked back, "Professor Dumbledore speculated that Voldemort's violent character has affected you."
Harry was a little annoyed and wanted to say something. Aris waved his hand to signal Harry to calm down, and then continued:
"This is just Professor Dumbledore's speculation... Don't get excited yet... Harry, put aside Professor Dumbledore's speculation. In order to control his so-called friends, Voldemort knows a very advanced magic: Legilimency!"
"The so-called Legilimency, let me tell you this, Harry, Voldemort uses Legilimency to easily enter anyone's mind and get the information he wants by looking through memories and related emotional connections. Occlumency is the only way to counter Legilimency."
"The basis of Occlumency is to clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts and emotions, and even to falsify memories, in order to resist and mislead the detection of Legilimency."
"Voldemort used your blood to be reborn... Harry... Whether you like it or not, this will definitely build some kind of bridge between you and him, even a bridge of thought. In order to prevent Voldemort from destroying your brain and messing up your brain, Professor Dumbledore believes that it is necessary for you to learn the brain-blocking technique."
Harry's face looked extremely ugly, and he said in a dry voice: "Then how do we start?"
"I will use Legilimency to invade your memory, Harry!" Aeris said, "and you have to resist my invasion, or even expel it. I have no intention of offending you... Harry... but this feeling will definitely be... indescribable for you... I can give you time to prepare, control your emotions, sort out your feelings, and cover up your memories. When you are ready, we will begin..."
Harry kept taking deep breaths. After a quarter of an hour, Harry looked at Aries and said, "I'm ready..."
Aeris stood opposite Harry, staring into his emerald green eyes, and whispered, "Legitimate..."
