Hogwarts Asylum

Under the moonlight, Hogwarts Castle was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, which was white fog rising from the black lake. The fog gradually thickened but still could not cover up the lights of the castle.

The little wizards haven't arrived yet, and the other professors are waiting for the opening ceremony in the auditorium. Orolin and Snape are still the only two people at the gate.

"You think you gained a lot today, don't you, Severus?" Orolin looked at Snape, "But have you forgotten how you learned Legilimency? That was your first time. When you asked me for help once, you said you wanted to master Occlumency as soon as possible and asked me to give you special training, and then you learned Legilimency by the way.

If you say you know me, then you should clearly know that what I am best at is this kind of magic involving the mind - or spirit.

Remember what I said before I first taught you Occlumency? "

Snape felt something was wrong. Olorin looked completely different now than before, and his robes were turning from gray to black.

"The first magic I learned was - [Lumos] -" However, except that the robe turned completely black, nothing happened. Probably because there was no wand in Olorin's hand, he didn't care at all and continued. said,

"The second one is——[Protego]——" A silver-gray shield appeared on Ouluolin's body,

"The third——[Accio]——"

Snape wanted to dodge, but his legs suddenly seemed to be tied up with ropes and he couldn't move. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived. The first spell of this guy O'Loughlin did not fail for no reason!

This is actually a little Yin trick invented by Olorin - making the magic performed completely independent of the spell recited. This technique requires the use of silent spells and multitasking.

So the first spell that Olorin used just now was actually an improved version of the leg-locking spell. It has a delayed activation effect. It will only be activated when the person being cursed wants to move. It involves more knowledge. Not listed here for now.

Before Snape could react, the wand hidden in his sleeve flew directly towards Orolin.

"fourth--"

At the critical moment, Snape used the technique of wandless casting to take the lead in chanting the spell.

"[Stupefy]!"

In fact, Snape also practiced wandless casting many times because Orolin often snatched his wand from him when he was in school.

As the spell of the Stunning Curse ended, a red light shot from Snape's raised right hand towards Orolin, and then hit the dim red light spurting from the ring worn by Orolin's left thumb.

When fighting magic, sometimes taking the initiative is crucial, but Snape's expression gradually stiffened, because his proficiency in wandless spellcasting was far inferior to that of Orolin, who had been practicing for more than ten years, let alone Orolin's. The ring is suspected to assist in spellcasting.

As the red light on Orolin's side became brighter and brighter, Snape felt more and more strenuous.

Orolin's expression was a little cold, but it could be seen that he still had some strength left, because he could even hold Snape's wand with his right hand to cast another spell.

“The fifth one——[PetrificusTotalus]!”

An invisible mist-like magic shot at Snape. Snape, who was still trying to strengthen the power of the stun spell, was directly hit. He suddenly froze as if his whole body had been turned to stone.

The red light in mid-air suddenly dissipated, and Orolin's robes faded back to their original gray color, and he came to Snape's side.

"Tsk, why are you so serious?"

O'Loughlin took Snape's wand and drew a big, blood-red smile on Snape's face, like a clown in a circus.

"That's right, Severus, be happy.

I've looked at that child for you. His eyes are really like his mother's - emerald green almonds, and you can place your emotions on him.

Don't scold me, my friend. You used Legilimency on me, so it's only fair that I use it on you. "

It was obvious that Snape was petrified and could not speak, but it was as if Orolin could hear his voice.

"Actually, what I didn't tell you is that I was born with Legilimency and Occlumency - this is probably a benefit for people who are naturally mentally strong, but now you know.

So do you still think that Legilimency, which you have only learned for 11 years and have had little chance to practice, can break through my brain that has been closed for almost 32 years?If you really do it, then my life will be in vain.

But I wasn't talking nonsense when I taught you.

There are three stages of Occlumency: the initial stage of brain emptying, the intermediate stage of partial occlumency, and the advanced stage of fictional memory.

There are three stages of Legilimency: the elementary level of feeling thoughts, the intermediate level of browsing memories, and the advanced level of invading the deep layers.

I'm probably in the fifth stage of both of these things now. I won't tell you the specific use of them. Knowing too many things is not good for you.

I just experienced it. Your Legilimency is now at the primary stage, and your Occlumency is already at the intermediate level.

I suggest you read some Muggle psychology books, which should help you master these two kinds of mental magic. But I guess you have already read it. After all, your kid actually did a psychological profile on me. Tsk, all I can say is It's like you're trying to hit a noseless monster with a child's wand.

Although what you just said is a lot of nonsense, you are right about one thing. I have indeed lost my joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. This is exactly what I want to say - Occlumency is a thing that can be used at primary and intermediate levels. The longer the stage remains, the more severe the emotional loss, both positive and negative, becomes.

So I ask you to smile more, otherwise, if you continue like this, you will become a monster like me. At that time, you will either become a walking zombie, or you will learn what I did before - looking for who you used to be in a crowd of people. .

But I guess you don’t like to laugh, so I can only annoy you more. After all, negative emotions can also stimulate the spirit. "

After speaking, Orolin directed the petrified Snape to fly slowly into the door, because the young wizards were approaching, and he had already heard the Thestral's breathing. It would not be good to stay here for the young wizards to see, in case tomorrow What new legends will emerge - for example, a statue that looks like Dean Slytherin will greet everyone at the school gate? Then Snape will probably just want to kill him throughout his life.

O'Loughlin avoided those portraits in the castle that had nothing to do all day long and were very gossipy, and took Snape back to his office in a familiar way - on the basement floor.

After throwing the person on his desk, O'Loughlin looked at Snape who was already showing signs of recovery and said: "To be honest, you can really put your emotions on Harry, and this should be an effective approach. , as for the effect, you need to try it yourself. I never put my hope in others, so I haven't tried it either.

Dumbledore, I will help you ask for leave. Anyway, the opening ceremony is held every year, so this one is the best. "

O'Loughlin looked around Snape's office and nodded with satisfaction after discovering that there were indeed basic psychology books on the bookshelf in the corner.

O'Loughlin waved over one of the books. When he saw it, it was Erikson's "Childhood and Society". O'Loughlin smiled. Is Snape planning to study how to create a better environment for the little wizards?Then the dean is quite responsible.

O'Loughlin picked up another book, and when he saw it, it was still a book by E. Ericson called "Identity: Adolescence and Crisis."Another book is "Children's Language and Thought" by Jean Pilget.

what is this?Is Snape trying to learn how to take care of a child?

O'Loughlin simply gathered all the books on the shelf labeled psychology and looked through them one by one.

E. Erikson, Jean Pilger, BF Skinner, L. Vygotsky, John.B. Watson...

Olorin shook his head. These were all well-known big guys. If they had anything in common, it would be that they all had the title of child psychologist.

When he turned to the end, O'Loughlin's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that Snape, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually collected his book. Yes, it was O'Loughlin's book.

The reason why O'Loughlin got a formal researcher position in his 20s was because of these three books, one is "On the Birth of Personality", one is "Lucifer and Michael", and the other is " "On Parapsychology", except for the third one, which most people read as a fantasy novel, the first two books have received pretty good responses from the industry.

While O'Loughlin was obsessed with his famous work, he suddenly heard a little movement from Snape's side.
