Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind was blowing outside. Lockhart was reading a book about the origins of ancient black magic in his office, and by the way, he waited for Harry to learn Occlumency.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you for a while." Lockhart put down the book.

But it was two people who came in. Lockhart wanted to ask, what are you doing, Hermione, but it was too rude to ask, so he smiled and said hello: "Hi, Hermione is here too."

"She wants to learn Occlumency too, Professor," said Harry embarrassedly. "I persuaded her to let the professor teach her at the club outside, but she insisted on coming."

Hermione blushed and hid behind Harry. This was a rare occasion where Pandora would never appear. How could she miss it.

"I should be glad you didn't pull Ron over, Harry," Lockhart teased.

"He wanted to come, but I stopped it." Harry explained awkwardly, "I told him that I could teach him during the event."

"Um... Speaking of which, I haven't asked about your club, how is it going." Lockhart remembered this.

"Well, with Hermione's help, it went well," Harry looked very happy, "and Hermione's mood is much better after she has something to do."

"Oh, right?" Lockhart was a little embarrassed, "what's the name of the club and how many people there are."

"It's called H.A., the army of Hogwarts, professor, what's the name?"

"Yes! It could also be Harry Potter's army, Harry." Lockhart nodded.

"How can I have an army..." Harry was a little embarrassed. "I told my classmates that you will guide us, and they are all for you."

"Ha has more than 60 people now, and I helped them practice some simple attack spells. But, professor, you basically teach them in class, so our activities are basically practice teams working together. "

"Well, a very good idea, Harry. The battle you will encounter in the future will definitely not be a duel between wizards, but a group fight." Lockhart said with satisfaction.

"These were Hermione's ideas, Professor." Harry pulled Hermione out from behind.

"Well done, Hermione, I know you're the smartest." Lockhart encouraged her with a smile.

"It's nothing, Professor, this is a prop for our connection." Hermione gave Lockhart a fake gold Galleon with a spell on it that could connect with each other.

"A very ingenious little thing!" Lockhart looked over and over, and said in admiration, "You almost established a small order of the Phoenix!"

"Professor, we have almost nothing to practice. I'm going to teach them the Patronus Charm. You should make an appearance." Harry looked at Lockhart expectantly.

"Okay, then I'll come to the next event." Lockhart said after some thought.

"Great, Professor, we'll be waiting for you!" Harry said excitedly.

"Then, now, we can start practicing Occlumency." Lockhart stood up and walked to the edge of the office, "You two, sit on the sofa."

"Occlumency can prevent others from invading your mind. It is a relatively obscure branch of magic, but it is quite useful." Lockhart looked at the two serious children with satisfaction, "I have been in class more than once. I told you about its usefulness, and I think you remember it, Hermione."

"Well, you said that Occlumency can effectively resist Legilimency, and it can also resist spells related to memory, including Imperius Curse, Forgetfulness, Memory Modification, etc., and even weaken the effect of Cruciatus. Oh, You also said that Occlumency makes it easier to concentrate and to use complex magic and silent spells."

"The answer is very complete, Hermione, it's a pity that it's not a class, otherwise I will definitely give you extra points," Lockhart praised, "In fact, its role is much more than that. Cultivating to the highest level can even speed up the accumulation of daily magic power. Speed, of course, that's too hard to achieve. I'm only close to that, and I reckon Dumbledore and Snape are already there."

"The spell that didn't kill you created a connection between you and the mysterious man - you are more susceptible to the spiritual influence of the mysterious man. The principal thinks that this should not be allowed to continue, so I am here to teach you."

"But, why doesn't Professor Dumbledore want to keep this going?" Harry asked suspiciously. "I don't like this, but it works, doesn't it? I mean...I saw that snake attack Wes. Mr. Lay, if I hadn't seen it, you wouldn't have saved him in time, could you? Professor?"

Lockhart pondered for a moment and decided to say a statement enough to convince Harry.

"Before the mysterious man didn't know the connection between you and him, but if he knew that you felt his feelings and shared his thoughts, then he would create illusions to confuse you, seduce you, and even control you."

"But I entered a snake, not Voldemort!"

"Don't say that man's name, Harry, before you can beat him!" Lockhart said angrily. "The soul of the mysterious man entered the snake."

"Professor, I think it's shameful not to say that person's name because of fear," Harry said seriously.

"Harry, it's not scary! For the sake of the people around you that you love and love you, you have to learn to change the word, there is black magic in this name, and he can know where someone said his name! Because you are in Hogg Watts, that's why it's been fine!"

"Oh, well, I'll try my best..."

"It's not an effort, it's a must!"

"Okay, Professor, don't discuss this topic," Hermione said. "You just said that it was possible to create an illusion to confuse Harry?"

"It's not possible, but even I can do it!" Lockhart increased his tone, "Remember that 'Fool's Curse'?"

Harry and Hermione's eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course I remember, that's the most interesting spell I've ever seen, and I can't find it in any book!" Hermione said excitedly, not wanting to get angry with Lockhart, "Are you going to teach us?"

"Actually it wasn't a fool's curse, it was me creating a false impression on Umbridge!" Lockhart emphasized, "In the falsehood, I did everything as she asked, so she was very satisfied and understood. ."

"I see! You mean that the mysterious man will give me the same illusion, don't you?"

"Yes, maybe he will never know that you can see his behavior, but as long as he realizes it, every scene you see may be an illusion."
