Hogwarts: From Little Wizard to White Lord

Vaughn paid no attention to his gloomy expression. He briskly sat down opposite Dumbledore and said with a smile, "I heard that at noon you sprayed a mouthful of pumpkin juice onto Professor Snape's plate?"

"Then you have to be careful, Albus. When I came up, the professor was trying to make a pot of poison. He mixed eight-eyed spider venom, aconite, belladonna, and dead man's clock... The smell alone can kill ghouls. I think you'd better not let him touch your food for a while."

Dumbledore twitched his beard and looked at the smiling child in front of him. He suddenly felt that he could empathize with Snape's mentality every time he saw him.

Sin!

He said unhappily, "You were the one who instigated Harry's letter at noon, weren't you?"

"How can you use such a derogatory word as 'instigation'? Although I lied to Harry, Voldemort's influence on him does exist. Albus, you don't want Harry to become Voldemort's shape one day, do you?"

Dumbledore didn't quite understand, but he felt that this was full of malice. He struggled and said, "But I am considering letting Snape..."

Vaughn spread his hands. "Do you think Harry would really want to be taught by the professor given his attitude towards him? In my opinion, Harry would probably be mentally broken after a few classes, and might even develop a rebellious mentality."

Dumbledore's eyes dimmed. This was indeed a problem he had not considered.

He looked at Vaughan. "Severus is the best wizard I know of who is skilled in Occlumency, unless you can prove that you are more suitable."

Vaughn looked around and smiled. "Don't test me. You should have asked the Sorting Hat, right?"

Dumbledore said nothing.

No answer is the best answer. From the day Vaughn put on the Sorting Hat and found that it could tell that he knew Occlumency, he knew that Dumbledore would know it one day.

As his talents were revealed, Dumbledore could not help but investigate everything about him, especially after he revealed the Horcruxes.

"Everyone has their own secrets, Albus, as long as the secrets don't affect others." Vaughan took out his wand.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

A white light symbolizing warmth and brightness bloomed, and a translucent guardian angel leaped out, flying and jumping in the air.

Dumbledore watched silently, seemingly indifferent, but only those who knew him knew that he was secretly relieved.

Yes, everyone has secrets, as long as those secrets don’t affect others.

After a long moment, he finally spoke: "A very beautiful Patronus, Vaughn."

Chapter 56: "Cultivating" Harry (Part )

The patronus is basically the most favorable evidence that a wizard has a normal mind and a normal sense of good and evil.

It is absolutely impossible for a person who has been corrupted by black magic, or a dark wizard who has been using black magic for a long time and has only extremely malicious thoughts in his heart to summon a patronus.

Because there is no pure land in their hearts.

This is why Vaughan pointed out the Patronus Charm first.

Not only because it is difficult to practice, but also because it is a good symbol.

At least Old Deng will feel more at ease after seeing it.

When Vaughn left the principal's office, he had a large book in his hand, "A Journey Through the Past and Present of Memory Magic".

The name is quite literary, the person who wrote this book must be a Ravenclaw.

All the way back to Slytherin, Vaughn couldn't wait to start reading.

The book introduces the branch of memory magic in detail, recording its history, development, and modern memory-related spells.

In addition to the Memory Charm and Occlumency that Vaughn already knew, he also wanted to learn Legilimency.

There are also false memory spells, dream spells, nightmare spells, etc.

It also explores many aspects of magic that involve other disciplines and require memory.

In terms of alchemy alone, there are meditation basins, memory balls, portrait making, automatic quills, etc. Although there are no specific production methods, the parts that require memory are recorded in detail.

"Even advanced transfiguration requires memories? The process of transforming a dead object into a living one, of giving it life, is actually about injecting it with memories, using false memories to simulate a real soul..."

Reading this passage introducing the involvement of memory magic in advanced transfiguration, Vaughn turned back to the title page thoughtfully.

There the author wrote in cursive:

【Memory is the coat of the soul】

When he first saw it, he thought this preface was the usual literary trait of Ravenclaw.

soul……

Vaughan became even more interested in the book. The next day after class, when he went to Professor Snape to study potion materials, he took it with him.

When Snape saw the book, he was stunned for a moment: "Where did you get this book? You already have it, why did you ask me for it last time?"

"Oh? This is the Memory Spellbook you promised to give me during the summer vacation? Dumbledore gave it to me."

Snape's face looked very ugly. He was probably cursing Dumbledore in his heart for saying one thing to his face and another behind his back.

Vaughan had suspected before that Snape's offer to give it to him during the summer vacation was probably because he was trying to find a way to persuade Dumbledore.

He didn't care how uncomfortable Snape was, and said with a smile: "Professor, shouldn't we change the terms between us?"

Snape's face twitched. "Quidditch season is coming soon. Wait until you defeat Potter!"

Vaughan looked at him suspiciously.

"Professor, you don't want to default on your debt, do you?"

"..."

After being stared at by Vaughn with a stern face for 10 seconds, Snape could no longer stay there and angrily swung his robes and walked away.

Change conditions?

If I change again, I will only be able to teach Vaughn the dark magic!

He wouldn't dare agree to such a thing casually.

Vaughn didn't care. He studied the materials alone in the basement and read a book when he was tired. Unfortunately, memory magic required an object to cast the spell on.

But soon, his practice object automatically took its place.

And the other party is very grateful!

At night, Vaughan met Harry in the Room of Requirement. Harry had received his letter and came secretly.

As soon as they met, Harry said repeatedly: "Vaughn, thank you so much for helping me so late. If it weren't for you, I..."

After just one day of not seeing each other, the Savior's dark circles have deepened again, almost as dark as during Wood's devilish training last month.

It seemed that he was quite frightened.

"It's okay Harry, we are friends, and friends should help each other."

Vaughn exchanged a few words and looked at Harry expectantly, "Shall we begin?"

So fast?

Harry followed Vaughn's instructions with a confused look on his face and sat down across from him.

Today's Room of Requirement was deliberately made comfortable by Vaughn.

It is a very luxurious lounge, with leather sofas and wool carpets, and it feels soft wherever you walk.

After all, memory magic will not destroy the environment, and the comfortable state will also help the Savior classmate relax, making it easier for Vaughn to cast the spell.

Of course, Vaughn would never admit that he was mainly practicing Legilimency...

Vaughn sat upright in front of Harry, holding a book in one hand. As he flipped through the pages, he said to Harry, "Harry, before we officially begin, I must explain that learning Occlumency is a very difficult process. In order to speed up your progress and free you from the influence of the Dark Arts as quickly as possible, I will need to use Legilimency on you throughout the entire process... Do you know what Legilimency is?"

Harry replied blankly, "I first heard of this magic this morning when you mentioned it."

"very good……"

Harry: “?”

"Well, I mean, you answered very well." Vaughn nodded calmly. "To put it simply, I'm invading your thoughts and memories, manipulating them, playing with them. And you need to carefully experience that feeling. You can't be afraid or run away. You must actively cooperate. Do you understand?"

Is this still simple?

Harry started to tremble when he heard words like "manipulate" and "play with".

If you explain it in detail, are there more options?

He suddenly wanted to tell Vaughan, is it okay not to learn?

Obviously that's not possible.

Although he hadn't felt any discomfort all day, the phrase "Dark Magic" was enough for Harry to overcome his fear, so he finally straightened his chest and said, "Okay, come on, Vaughn!"

What a perfect target!

Vaughan secretly praised, immediately raised his wand and chanted the spell.

Naturally, the first attempt was unsuccessful, but neither Vaughn nor Harry felt disappointed. After failing twice in a row, Harry even felt relieved.

Although it was not a good idea to think this way, he felt that he might not be toyed with today.

Unfortunately, just as he was thinking this, Vaughn succeeded.

"Legilimency!"

The experience of the previous failures was enough for Vaughn to figure out some of the rules of the Legilimency spell. He had enough magic power to cast the spell accurately. The most important thing was the emotion, a strong emotion that allowed him to invade the other person and dig out his secrets.

The moment the spell was successful, Vaughn felt...

Part of his consciousness was entangled with magic power and fell into a sticky and illusory space.

Countless mists rolled in front of the "eyes", vaguely and hazily projecting pictures, and the main perspective of all the pictures was Harry.

There was Vaughan sitting before him, wand raised, him walking down the corridor, the Gryffindor common room, Ron and Hermione beside him...

All of Harry's memories were clearly visible to Vaughn!

It even includes Harry's dream, a hazy dream that seemed to be pink, in which he gently held a girl's hand!

"do not want!"

The moment he saw the dream, a shout that seemed to come from a distant direction suddenly rang out, and Vaughn's consciousness was immediately kicked out.

He looked up and saw Harry's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
