Harry Potter's Bastard

"You're going to get a house again?" Sylna looked at Solim strangely, "Is this necessary?"

"City of London?" Draco looked interested, "where?" are there any restaurants around?"

"It's not decided yet, but it's definitely not going to be bad. Solim looked at Draco and felt that there was something strange about his focus.

"After all, it's not a problem for the two of them to live here all the time. Solim glanced to the other side, the two Aikins siblings were secretly looking at the Basque, when they first saw the basilisk, they turned around and ran away, but Draco later told them that the Basque does not eat people, and the siblings gradually calmed down, and they did not slow down at this time.

"Then you're really generous. Silna said sourly. She thought Solim had prepared it for the sake of the two little ones.

"Of course it's not what you think, and you don't want to be here all the time blowing the sea breeze, do you?"

Sylna leaned over and muttered in a very small voice, "Christmas is coming soon, are you really at ease to leave the two of them at home?

"I'll arrange it, don't worry about it. "

The Christmas holidays are gone by in the blink of an eye, which means that students need to return to Hogwarts to continue their studies and life. But every student who had just returned to Hogwarts soon learned the bad news: Umbridge had returned.

This is bad news for all the students and extremely bad news for some of Gryffindor. The otherwise pleasant mood was immediately ruined.

Who are the busiest students at Hogwarts right now? not the seventh-year students who are preparing for the N.E.W.TS exams and getting a job, not the fifth-year students like Hermione who are already preparing for the exams, and not the students who have their own arrangements like Solim. It's Harry Potter.

He's the head of the D.A, and he's going to arrange for the members to practice spells. From now on, he would go to Snape every week to "cram potions" - this was the external statement, but the reality was that Harry was going to follow Snape to learn Occlumency, which would take up his entire night. Sometimes Harry even wondered how he would manage his time so that it wouldn't clash if he could still play.

There is no doubt that Harry has become essentially the busiest student at Hogwarts, and the most tired. By the end of the semester, he will inevitably experience what it means to be tired, what it means to be physically and mentally exhausted, and what it means to live rather than die.

Especially considering that he was in fifth year, he still had O.W.Ls exams, and the professors were leaving them with a lot of homework every time, and Harry's personal time had been extremely compressed. Luckily, he had Hermione helping him, otherwise he wouldn't have turned in his homework.

"So...... Is he all so miserable now?" Solim lowered his wand-holding arm. Neville had picked up Draco, who was still in a daze, and they had just had a duel in the small classroom - it was actually just a one-sided crush, and if it wasn't for Solim to release the water, Draco would have lost the third spell.

The table in front of Hermione was littered with parchment, and she was nervous with her messy hair.

"I don't know what he thinks, even though he's running out of time, he's still obsessed with Quidditch. Hermione said in a strange tone, "Can you imagine? He's going to Snape tonight, there's a D.A. tomorrow, there's an astronomy class the night after tomorrow, and he doesn't even have time to finish his professors' homework, and he's still thinking about how to play." What's going on in his head, you say?"

"I don't know, maybe he doesn't think he's busy enough. Solim lifted his chin at Neville, signaling that it was his turn.

Thirty seconds later, Neville was lying on the ground.

"It's ok. Solim put his wand away.

"Did you go to see your parents during the holidays?" asked Solim.

Neville didn't speak, just nodded.

"In the next one to two years, the situation is going to get worse and worse. Do you think you're ready?" Solim asked again, "How long do you think you'll be able to hold out if you meet a Death Eater?"

Neville scrambled up, still not speaking. Solim wasn't prepared for Neville to say anything.

"Work hard, at least don't let someone go by someone in front of you. Solim clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the three of them, and then said: "Your current level, it is difficult to win against the Death Eaters, the most likely way is to fight in groups, but group fights should also pay attention to methods, how to cooperate is something you need to consider, next time you can discuss tactics in advance." We'll see how it goes. "

It's getting messy out there. People have started to go missing, and Diagon Alley is getting deserted. Even the slightest wary wizard can tell that something is about to happen. Hogwarts was able to maintain a relative calm because Dumbledore was here, and people at the bottom of the wizarding world could better appreciate the calm before the storm.

"Solim, do you think Harry can learn it? I mean Occlumency. Hermione was doing her homework, but her mind was clearly not on it.

"Isn't that obvious?" Solim sat down, "Occlumency is almost impossible for underage wizards to fully master. And if you want to resist the invasion of the Dark Lord, it is obviously not something that can be done by 'mastering', and if you want to completely resist the invasion of the Dark Lord, you must be proficient. Do you think Harry is the kind of genius who can master Occlumency in less than a semester, let alone master, and if he can do it by the end of this semester, I'll eat the carpet under our feet. "

Solim's words were dead, and he didn't seem to worry about the possibility of eating the carpet.

But that's the way it is, and Solim has a lot of say when it comes to Occlumency. As a special person, Solim had naturally heard of the name of Occlumency early on, and who didn't want to master this skill? But reality is reality, and Occlumency is really not something that underage wizards can master.

The first lesson of Occlumency, which is to empty your brain.

What does it mean to "empty your brain"? Simply put, you don't want to do anything. Seeing anything does not cause a reaction, does not make associations. It's very difficult to do that, and it has nothing to do with the will, because sometimes your brain always has some weird ideas popping up on its own, and there's no way to control it.

This is especially true for smart people and quick-thinking people. Because their brains are always thinking, thinking about things, their brains are working all the time, and it's very difficult to get this kind of person to get started with Occlumency, and the representative figures are people like Solim and Hermione. Because they're smart, because they're quick-witted, it's extremely difficult for them to get started with Occlumency.
