Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Michael nodded: "If someone comes to you, I will help you deal with it."

He pretended to look at the scenery, paying attention to whether anyone was coming over. Wade tapped the stone witch with his wand and whispered, "Separate the left and right."

The statue's humped back immediately opened up, revealing a narrow walkway.

Wade waved to Michael and walked in quickly.

Michael watched the secret passage close, put his hands in his pockets, and walked down the stairs slowly, just passing Filch.

The administrator stared at him gloomily. Michael nodded at him. He saw a few Slytherin students out of the corner of his eye. His eyes lit up and he immediately walked over there.

……

Wade slid down the inclined stone slide for a long distance, and then walked along the damp and cold secret passage. The ground was rugged and bumpy, and it didn't seem to be carved out by humans.

It was dark and quiet, with only the bright light from the tip of his wand.

The secret passage was very long, and after walking for more than an hour, Wade finally saw a long staircase. The staircase extended far upwards and looked like it had hundreds of steps.

Luckily he only had to climb this once.

Wade muttered to himself and climbed up the stairs resignedly. After an unknown amount of time, he saw a trap door appear above his head.

Vader pushed open the trapdoor, and a hand reached down from above, grabbed Vader's arm, and pulled him out.

Lupin cast a cleansing spell to remove the dirt on him, and asked with a smile: "It's not a good journey, is it?"

Wade calmed his breath and said after a while: "It's much longer than I thought."

He felt like his legs weren't his own anymore.

Fortunately, he is very young now...or maybe it is because of the wizard's physique. After taking a break, Wade felt much recovered.

"The road to this secret passage is indeed long and difficult to walk."

Lupin said, "There is actually a secret passage under the Whomping Willow that leads to the Shrieking Shack. Just press the scar on the tree and it will stop attacking."

"If the Vanishing Cabinet is repaired, I won't need the secret passage anymore," Wade said.

"Why do we have to repair the Vanishing Cabinet?" Lupin said, "You know, compared to the secret passage, the Vanishing Cabinet is always a little dangerous."

"But the secret passage can only take me to the vicinity of Hogwarts. If I want to go somewhere further, I won't have enough time."

Wade explained: "And even if I have classes on weekdays, I don't want to spend too much time on the road."

Lupin didn't ask him where he wanted to go far away; he was a man with a good sense of propriety.

"Pay attention," said Lupin. "I am going to give you a Disapparition."

He tapped Vader on the top of his head with his wand. Vader closed his eyes and felt a cold feeling flow from the top of his head into his body.

Vader looked at his palms. No matter how he moved, the color of his body would become exactly the same as the ones nearby.

It's like being invisible.

Perhaps only people with very keen vision can detect such subtle intersections.

"Let's go," Wade said. "After we fix the Vanishing Cabinet, I hope to learn this spell before I go back to school on Sunday."

"It's not easy. This involves the advanced use of Transfiguration spells. But if it's you... maybe you can do it."

Lupin said gently as he closed the trapdoor and walked behind Vader.

The two of them went up the stairs and behind the counter of Honeydukes. Lupin waved his wand and a bottle on the shelf suddenly fell over.

The shop owner was a bald middle-aged man. When he went to pick up the bottle, Lupin and Wade took the opportunity to walk out.

Chapter 132 Occlumency

Improving the Vanishing Cabinet was a familiar task for Vader, and he completed the task in only half the time he expected.

Learning the Disillusionment Charm was somewhat complicated, but Wade had actually been teaching himself for a long time, and he also had a solid foundation in Transfiguration. On Saturday evening, he had finally mastered the Disillusionment Charm.

Currently, his Disillusionment Charm only changes the color, which can still be seen if you look closely, but if the magic power is strong enough, the Disillusionment Charm can also make a person completely invisible.

In addition, the Disillusionment Charm is also required to repair the Invisibility Cloak.

The expected work was completed and Vader still had one day off over the weekend.

"Perhaps you could wander around Hogsmeade? Or go on some adventures around here."

Lupin brought up his favorite activities during his student days: "There are quite a few interesting places nearby that I can serve as a guide to. If there is anything you want to buy, I can also buy it for you."

However, Vader said, "Remus, do you know the Imperius Curse?"

Lupin looked a little unnatural: "The Imperius Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses... Do you know the Unforgivable Curses?"

"I know." Wade said calmly, "The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse are the three unforgivable curses. Once used on a person, the person will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban."

"Now that you know that, you should understand that I will never teach you this kind of spell!"

Lupin said decisively: "These are all evil black magic, no one should learn or touch them!"

"It's getting late, you should go back to school."

He turned around to open the Vanishing Cabinet.

"Don't be so sensitive, Remus."

But Wade said, "I'm not asking you to teach me the Imperius Curse. I just want to ask, can Occlumency resist the Imperius Curse?"

Lupin knew he had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed, but he felt that he could not blame himself for being too sensitive -

Wade wanted to learn everything and learned everything very quickly. Even though he had surpassed the level of many graduates, he still seemed unsatisfied.

That kind of greed and thirst for knowledge that seems to be never satisfied...sometimes it makes Lupin feel frightened.

After learning all the orthodox magic, will Vader turn to the more powerful black magic?

Lupin didn't know, but his sense of responsibility made him worry about it all the time.

He thought for a moment before saying, "As long as one's willpower is strong enough, one can resist the Imperius Curse. However... Occlumency does help."

In fact, Occlumency not only protects against the Imperius Curse, but also prevents possession and even the effects of Veritaserum.

The Wizengamot originally believed that Sirius might have acquired Occlumency, and even using truth serum to interrogate him could not guarantee that he was telling the truth.

Add to that the situation at the time... Sirius Black killed Peter, and he was a well-known secret keeper, but the Potters were killed by Voldemort in their own home...

In the end, Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban without trial.

Life imprisonment.

After so many years, Lupin never had the chance to ask his former friends... why...

Lupin looked dazed for a moment, then heard the voice of the student in front of him.

"I have been practicing Occlumency for a long time," said Vader. "I would like you to help me test the results."

The magic of clearing the mind is not complicated to practice, but the boundary between it and being in a daze seems unclear.

Without actually experiencing the mental infiltration of the outside world, it is difficult to confirm whether the level of one's own brain blocking skills can resist such invasion.

Lupin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you worried that I would see your memories?"

"I believe you won't mess around with my memory. And if it really involves privacy, I will use other magic to resist." Wade said.

Harry's experience in the plot tells him that if he is well prepared, offensive spells can also interrupt the brain block.

For example, the disarming spell.

"……All right."

Lupin had no reason to refuse, so he took out his wand and said, "If you're ready, let's start."

"Of course..." Vader also drew out his wand: "Let's start."

"Three, two, one... Legilimency!"

Magic invaded... Lupin felt obvious resistance and read only a blank.

One second, two seconds...

Ten seconds later, it was like a bubble bursting, and countless images flashed by alternately...

Eating in the Great Hall…attending classes…doing homework…eating in the Great Hall…walking in the corridors of the castle with friends…doing homework…attending classes…

He interrupted the magic on his own initiative.

"You didn't resist?" Lupin asked in surprise.

Based on his understanding of Vader, the effect of his Occlumency shouldn't only last for a dozen seconds.

"If your mind is completely clear, doesn't that tell others that there is a problem?"

Wade endured the pain and said, "I tried not to recall anything, but then I thought... it might be better to cover the important memories with invalid ones..."

Lupin was speechless for a moment.

Vader was unsure: "Did I overdo it?"

He remembered that Snape was the master of Occlumency and was undercover in Voldemort's place. When Voldemort wanted to check his memory, could Snape still let him see a blank?

He would have to let the Dark Lord read what he wanted instead of simply resisting.

Vader has been working towards this.

"No." After a long while, Lupin finally spoke: "Ordinary wizards usually cannot practice to this level... But if you can learn to overwrite memories, or even forge memories, it would be better."

"But we have to change the way we practice."

He took a bright red apple from the cupboard and placed it on the table, saying, "Look at it and remember this picture. Then hide this memory and don't let me find it."

Vader stared at the apple.

Lupin asked, "What fruit do you like?"

Wade said casually: "Watermelon... mango and cherry are also good..."

"Legitimate!" Lupin suddenly attacked.

Eating in the auditorium... attending classes... doing homework... eating... attending classes... flying on a broomstick... a tapestry with a troll... reading a book... a red apple...
