Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

In the dining room at Hogwarts, Mike sat at the Ravenclaw table and yawned boredly.

After winning the game yesterday, Mike originally planned to go to sleep, but Roger and other teammates were full of energy. They went to the Hogwarts kitchen to find the elf and asked for a lot of food, saying they were going to have a party.

As the MVP of the game, Mike could only stay after the kindness of Roger and others. Roger even bought a lot of butterbeer from the Weasley brothers, which made the binge even crazier.

The consequence of the all-night carnival was the collective malaise this morning, and Mike was slightly better, after all, his mental strength was strong, and he didn't drink too much at the same time. Roger is different. He was the most excited one last night, and he was also the most heroic one. No matter who it is, as long as he toasts him, it must be until the glass is dry, so he is still lying on the bed, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get up before noon.

Compared with Ravenclaw, the Slytherin school team is miserable.

A large number of players who were injured by Mike almost filled the entire infirmary. Madam Pomfrey was very angry. Recently, the weather has turned cold and many people have started to catch colds. Now these naughty bear children are still rushing for beds. It really makes no sense. I heard that she did not hesitate to interrupt Dumbledore's rest in the middle of the night and protested to him, demanding that the students be banned from playing Quidditch, a dangerous sport.

Of course, Dumbledore would not agree.

In fact, Madam Pomfrey was dismissed only ten minutes after entering Dumbledore's lounge, and she was furious when she left, obviously not getting the result she wanted.

According to a classmate who stayed in the infirmary all night because of a cold that night, the screams of the Slytherin players lasted the whole night, making him unable to sleep, as if Madam Pomfrey was helping them. Time to forget to give them painkillers.

Mike's deeds yesterday also spread at Hogwarts after being spread by Lee Jordan, the first gossip man at Hogwarts. Now, apart from Ravenclaw House, the Quidditch players of the other three houses They are very afraid of Michael, and even gave him a nickname: Killer Michael (killer Michael).

Despite his fame in Quidditch circles, Mike didn't care much. Mike was used to being famous as early as the first grade. The wizarding world was so boring, and a little thing that Mike didn't seem to be a big deal could be passed down by others for a long time.

What he's worried about now is Occlumency.

It has been almost two months since he first learned Occlumency in the summer vacation, but he has made no progress in Occlumency, which makes Mike have to wonder if he has the talent to learn Occlumency.

Because the book "Close Your Brain" that was stolen from the forbidden area clearly stated that Occlumency is a very innate magic spell. People with talent can learn it quickly, while people without talent can You can't learn it in a lifetime.

As the saying goes, poverty makes change. Under great pressure, Mike also began to look for a shortcut to learn Occlumency. It is best to have someone teach him to learn difficult spells. After all, reading books is not enough, just like It is said in "Close Your Brain" that the way to practice Occlumency is to empty your brain.

But the ghost knows what it means to empty the brain, anyway, Mike thinks that it is actually in a daze.

And when he thought of asking someone for help, Mike thought of one of the Occlumency masters he was most familiar with: Snape.

Of course, it is obviously not feasible to directly ask about the secret of Occlumency, and the matter of cultivating Occlumency cannot be leaked out. And it's too dangerous to attack from the side. Snape is a famous double agent, and he doesn't need to go into details about how vigilant he is.

So, without even having breakfast, Mike began to stalk Snape.

Mike wanted to deduce the correct release method of Occlumency by observing Snape's state, anyway, Snape was in a state of Occlumency almost all the time.

But this is actually a stupid way, and the probability of success is very small. But now Mike really has no other way. He has now devoted all his time to the practice of Occlumency, and even abandoned the daily meditation and magic spell training, but he has not made any progress.

But Mike's plan was not so smooth.

Snape was actually an otaku. He either went to class all day or stayed in his office to study potions. Mike had very little time to contact him. No wonder Harry's mother abandoned Snape and turned to James. Arms, after all, than his otaku Snape, James from a wealthy pure-blood family is obviously more attractive.

Fortunately, Professor Snape was a very caring person. Mike sent so many Slytherin students into the infirmary. Of course, Snape would not let Mike off easily. Mike was surprised to find that even if he didn't follow Snape, he would jump out from time to time to deduct points for himself when he made a small mistake.

So Mike began his own death-defying journey, deliberately making small mistakes so that Snape could appear in front of him.

After ten days of revenge and deducting nearly 200 points for Ravenclaw, Snape was finally satisfied and stopped looking for trouble with Mike, and Mike also got what he wanted.

For more than ten days, he had carefully observed Snape in 360 degrees, from his words and deeds to his demeanor and expressions, and the conclusions he came to were very surprising.

Snape's dead fish eyes were hollow and deep, his speech was cold and without a trace of emotion, and his movements were neat and without the slightest hesitation.

These reactions are very similar to those of the hypnotists that Mike has seen on TV shows in previous lives.

Could it be that the trick to Occlumency is self-hypnosis?

Mike himself was stunned when he came to such a conclusion. Fortunately, he had been studying Occlumency for so long but found nothing. The secret of Occlumency would be so... simple.

Although he felt that this was very unreliable in his heart, Mike's current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate. So that night, Mike began the experiment of self-hypnosis.

Self-hypnosis might sound cryptic, but it's actually quite simple to apply. Many athletes will self-hypnotize themselves before the start of the competition, so that they can get better results.

The specific method is to close your eyes and continuously take a deep breath. At the same time, put aside other thoughts in your mind, and constantly recite the content of hypnosis in your heart. (The author's personal test is effective, and if it is used for the exam, it can effectively reduce the tension.)

Mike lay on the bed in the dormitory with his hands folded on his stomach, and kept thinking in his heart: "I'm a tool person without feelings, I'm a tool person without feelings, I'm a tool person without..."
