"Harry, did you have a good Christmas?" Autumn asked.
"Yes, not bad. How about you?" Harry said. He felt like his appetite had been grabbed!
Ron looked at the two of them. He felt that Autumn's appearance was too much of a coincidence. It was as if she had been waiting there for them.
If Hermione were here, she would have dragged him away to give Harry and Autumn some privacy. However, Ron did not feel that way.
On the contrary, he thought that it was very interesting and wanted to help Harry plan something.
"I had a quiet holiday. I didn't go anywhere." For some reason, Autumn seemed a little embarrassed and did not dare to look at Harry. "Well, I have to go to Hogsmeade again next month. Did you see the notice?"
"What? Oh, no, I haven't seen the notice since I came back. "
"It's on Valentine's Day …"
"Oh!" Harry did not understand why she was telling him this. "Do you want to …"
"If you want to," she said eagerly.
Harry was stunned. He wanted to say, "Do you want to ask when the next D.A. activity is?"
They were just discussing this, and Elwyn said that it was necessary to speed up their studies.
However, Autumn's answer did not seem to match. She did not seem to be asking about this.
"I …"
"Oh, it's okay if you don't want to!" she said, feeling a little humiliated. "It's okay. See you later."
She left awkwardly. Harry stared at her back, his mind spinning.
"Bro, I think she wants to ask you out!" Ron said. He was still useful here.
Harry suddenly came to a realization. Wasn't this what he had been thinking?!
He hurried over and caught up with Autumn on the marble staircase.
"Well, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me on Valentine's Day?"
"Oh, yes!" Autumn blushed and smiled brightly. She looked at Harry expectantly. "Do you want to go with me?"
"Of course, even in my dreams. Then it's a deal." Harry felt that the day wasn't a complete failure.
Snape's private tutoring session at night seemed to have suddenly become less unbearable.
With regards to Harry's performance, Hermione only had one word to describe him: idiot!
Elwyn didn't say anything because he wasn't any better than Harry when he was wooing Hermione.
When it came to chasing girls, they were all noobs and needed the girls to take the initiative.
But it didn't matter now. It was all in the past. The current Elwyn had been through many trials and was very familiar with it.
As long as he was alone with Hermione, he knew what to do. Before the Christmas holidays this year, it was very easy and there were many opportunities.
But now there was a small problem, and that was to get rid of Elaine.
Is the next time we go to Hogsmeade Valentine's Day? Perhaps I can revisit Madam Perdiff's Teahouse with Hermione.
Elwyn tapped the edge of the table with his knuckles as he thought about it.
At the same time, Harry was standing outside Snape's office. He had a bad feeling.
He paused outside the door for a moment, hoping that he was somewhere else.
As long as it wasn't here, anywhere else would be fine. Then he took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and entered.
It was a dark room with hundreds of glass bottles on the shelves. Sticky animal and plant specimens floated in colorful potions.
A cabinet in the corner was filled with all kinds of precious herbs, but now they were all in Elwyn's pocket.
Harry looked around, and his attention was quickly drawn to the desk.
In the candlelight, there was a shallow stone basin engraved with mysterious symbols. Harry recognized it at once. It was Dumbledore's meditation basin.
While he was wondering what it was for, Snape's cold voice came from the shadows, startling him.
"Close the door behind you, Potter."
Harry did as he was told, and was horrified to feel that he had been locked up.
He turned around. Snape had walked to the light, and silently pointed to the chair opposite the desk.
Harry went over and sat down, and so did New Snape.
His cold, black eyes stared unblinkingly at Harry, and every line on his face was engraved with disgust.
"You know what you're here for," he said softly. "The headmaster asked me to teach you Cerebral Occlusion. I can only hope that you're a little smarter than you were in Potions class."
"Yes," replied Harry, not daring to say more.
"This may not be an ordinary class, Potter!" Snape's eyes narrowed sinisterly. "But I'm still your teacher. You must always call me Sir or Professor. That's the least respect."
"Yes, Professor!"
"Very good. Cerebral Occlusion. You've learned it from Mason, so you should know that it can prevent your mind from being invaded and influenced by magic. You need to learn it. The headmaster is worried that the Black Devil will extract your feelings and memories from your mind …"
"Why can he do that to me?" asked Harry immediately.
This was the answer he had always wanted to know. It would be best if Snape could answer it.
"There are many possibilities. The most common spell is Mind Capture!" said Snape. "It's also the simplest."
"Is it Mind Reading?"
"You're not paying attention, Potter!" Said Snape, his black eyes flashing with cold light. "You've been like this for a long time. This is the main reason why you're so bad at all subjects and always make such terrible potions. Of course, this has nothing to do with me."
Snape paused for a moment, apparently savoring the pleasure of insulting Harry.
"Only Muggle can read people's minds. The mind is not a book that can't be flipped through at will. Thoughts are not carved in the skull and can't be read by others. The mind is a complicated and multi-layered thing, Potter. At least most brains are. " He laughed. "I hope you remember what I said. This is something that Mr. Know-It-All won't teach you. The Dark Demon is studying other people's minds and making the correct explanation. This is the power of magic, and he is very good at it. For example, he can almost always tell when someone is lying to him. Only those who are good at Cerebral Occlusion can seal the feelings and memories that contradict with the lie, and lie in front of him without being found out. "
"But why is it always me?" Harry plucked up his courage and asked.
"Because of the scar on your head. The connection between you and him is very strong," said Snape. "And you need to call me Professor!"
"Can he know what we're thinking now, Professor?"
"The Black Devil is very far away. The walls and grounds of the Hogwarts are protected by many ancient spells, which ensure the physical and mental safety of the school staff." Said Snape. "Time and space affect magic. Potter can't do this."
"Then why should I learn Cerebral Occlusion?"
Snape glanced at Harry and touched his mouth with a slender finger.
