"You can think of this thing I put into your brain as an automatic response personality. It exploits the brain's imagination and deception mechanisms. Just set certain conditions for it, such as requiring you to empty your mind at all times. If you fail to do so, you really won't be able to control yourself this time."
Vaughan smiled a meaningful smile that made Harry tremble.
For some reason, Harry suddenly began to miss the serious-looking Vaughn from that fake experience before...
He asked in a trembling voice, "Is it necessary?"
"Yes, you must, Harry. You need stimulation and pressure!"
Harry left in a daze, while Vaughn remained in the Room of Requirement. He took out his notebook and wrote down his recent experiences with Harry, as well as his future expectations.
"...As I anticipated, simple memory modification is incapable of concealing the entirety of human consciousness, let alone using it to mobilize emotions. The design of this 'outer shell' must be shaped as a completely new personality. It must connect to a real personality and a real brain mechanism, so that it possesses genuine thought processes, reaction abilities, and behavioral characteristics. Only in this way can the rich emotions I need be born..."
"...The next plan is to train Harry to learn Occlumency as quickly as possible, test the protection and filtering capabilities of Occlumency, and test whether the contamination of the false personality on the true personality can be blocked by Occlumency."
At this point, Vaughan hesitated.
If we keep trying to fleece Harry, will we really ruin him?
But who else but Harry would be suitable?
He recalled the people he knew and fell into deep thought...
"Merlin, Scabbers—"
A scream in the dormitory woke Harry from his dream.
As soon as he woke up, he felt something was wrong. It seemed like something was twisting in his mouth. Before he could react, Ron in the bed next to him pounced on him with a ferocious face and grabbed his lips.
"What are you doing Harry, let Scabbers go, for God's sake!"
Harry finally knew what was in his mouth!
vomit--
He opened his mouth as wide as he could, letting Ron drag the damn fat rat out, then he lay on the edge of the bed and vomited violently.
Scabbers looked terrified, his fur sticky with saliva, and the whole rat squealed and struggled in Ron's hands.
Ron hugged it with heartache, but it bit him and he had to put it back into the cage.
He said angrily, "Why did you put Scabbers in your mouth, Harry? He loves you so much. Every time you let him out, he sneaks up to you and sleeps with you. How could you treat him like this?"
"Shut up! Ron!"
Harry was nauseated.
After vomiting for a while, Harry couldn't stand the strange feeling in his mouth anymore, so he stumbled into the bathroom to rinse his mouth.
When he came out again, he still felt very uncomfortable.
But what made him even more uncomfortable was... he had realized why he had stuffed Banban into his mouth - the automatic response personality!
According to Vaughan, he must always maintain the various techniques of brain occlumency, which can be a blank mind or a mind full of useless thoughts.
The only thing he couldn't do was leave his thoughts and memories unprotected.
Once violated, there will be punishment!
He had a dream last night, and he must have not maintained his brain occupation skills at that time, so he was punished - this morning, he woke up inexplicably and stuffed Scabbers, who was sleeping at the head of his bed, into his mouth.
He stuffed it in himself... and he didn't even think there was anything wrong with it at the time!
He also knew that the reason he was aware of the problem now was not because he had learned the art of brain closure, but because of the punishment mechanism of his automatic response personality, which was progressive.
After the punishment, it will make him understand that his behavior is inappropriate, and if he commits the same offense again within the same day, the punishment will be increased.
Until he completely becomes another person, and can only wait for the automatic reset in the early morning!
Harry's face was pale.
The first punishment today was to swallow Banban. If I increase the intensity, wouldn’t that mean…
He couldn't help but look at Ron who was still angry.
……
"So, you want to eat Scabbers because Vaughn put something in your head that will turn you into a different person?"
There were no classes on Saturday, so after eating in the cafeteria, Ron, who had calmed down after listening to Harry's explanation, sat with Harry in the courtyard and listened to his detailed account.
Harry struggled to keep his mind blank, his face expressionless. This was a side effect of the initial learning of Occlumency. He even had to stretch out his voice when speaking to ensure that his increasingly dull brain could react.
"Yes, in that state, my behavior would be very abnormal, and I wouldn't even realize it."
"cool!"
Harry stared at Ron with lifeless eyes. Ron coughed quickly. "I mean, Vaughn is too much. I should have thought of it earlier. Only he would have such great malice towards Scabbers."
"Not eating the scabs is only today's punishment, and it's only the first stage. If you do it again..."
"What happens if you do it again?"
Ron was just wondering when a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from behind and pressed down on his and Harry's heads. "Weasley, Potter, have you finished your Potions papers? Or are you going to hand me a blank piece of parchment in the next class and continue to mock me?"
The two men turned around stiffly, and behind them was Snape, dressed in black and looking like a bat.
Snape watched with satisfaction as Ron's face quickly turned to fear, but Harry...
Harry's cold face was exactly the same as his, including the lifeless eyes.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, Snape's face immediately darkened: "Why, Harry - Potter, are you going to imitate me again?"
"No, Professor!"
"...Ten points from Gryffindor!"
"Please—listen to me—"
"Deduct another 10 points!"
Harry finally couldn't help it. He lifted his brain from the empty state and shouted, "Professor Snape, I'm practicing..."
He suddenly stopped, turned his head stiffly, and his bright eyes gradually looked at Ron's head beside him...!
Soon, there was a noise in the courtyard.
"Help! Help! Pull Harry away!"
"Harry Potter! Open your...open your mouth!"
"Don't pull me, let me take another bite, let me take another bite! You bad guys, I just want to eat a head, let me go!"
Vaughan and Dumbledore, who were passing by the suspension bridge in the distance and noticed the movement in the courtyard, chatted leisurely:
"It seems you have already figured out a plan."
"Yes, I plan to build a virtual personality to cover myself with a coat."
"Oh, a wonderful idea, different from mine, but very interesting... But, can you please let Harry go?"
"Hmm? Don't you think this method is very effective? I believe that after today, Harry will never dare to slack off again. Otherwise, I will no longer help you train him? I don't mind!"
"Ah, what a nice day today."
Vaughn's prediction was correct.
That day, Ron had a piece of his hair bitten off, and Harry was chained to his bed by Madam Pomfrey for a whole day.
Harry no longer dared to relax, lest he trigger the automatic response mechanism of his personality.
The reality is that it is impossible for him to master the art of brain occlumency quickly because of his fear. Even if his progress is good, he can only keep his mind blank for two hours at the beginning.
After a month, he was able to maintain this throughout the day while awake.
But Harry and the entire Hogwarts knew the bitterness of it...
"Potter, I heard that Hagrid found you in the Forbidden Forest yesterday, eating grass? Tsk tsk, what do you think you are this time? A horse? Or a deer?"
"Potter, I heard that you messed up the whole owl shed yesterday. What were you doing? Oh, yes, the great Mr. Potter thought he was an owl. He even tried to fly and ended up smashing the owl shed to pieces."
"Potter..."
This month is the happiest time for Malfoy.
Harry Potter's confusing human behavior provided Malfoy with laughter for a whole month, but unfortunately the frequency of this became less and less, which made Malfoy deeply regretful.
On the other hand, there is Slytherin's arch-villain Vaughn Weasley. As the Wizengamot held a meeting on the establishment of the "Werewolf Affairs Committee", he became more and more elusive and difficult to see.
Without the suppression of the big devil, Malfoy finally dared to bring Goyle and Crabbe with him to bully all the first-year snakes. By the way, he also recruited a follower named Pansy Parkinson, a girl who looked like a poodle.
However, Mr. Malfoy never cares about appearance when making friends, as long as the friend is strong and can help him fight. This is very consistent with Miss Parkinson.
At noon, Malfoy and his followers blocked the restaurant door again, waiting for his dear Potter.
Harry got into trouble again today. He suddenly broke out of Gryffindor Tower in the early morning, threw himself outside the common room of Eagle Court and banged on the door, insisting on getting into Ravenclaw and not wanting to be with the idiots in Gryffindor anymore.
A crowd of people gathered to watch Harry's rebellion.
Until Professor McGonagall came and dragged him to the school hospital.
"You should have seen it, Harry. Percy's face turned black with rage. Although everyone knows that your abnormal behavior is due to studying magic with Vaughn, your betrayal of Gryffindor obviously made Percy feel embarrassed."
School hospital, Ron said with interest.
Harry's face was filled with pain. As his mastery of Occlumency deepened, he no longer had side effects such as expressionlessness, lifelessness, and slow reactions when his mind was blank.
Although Harry did not mean to betray the school, he still felt guilty.
Because at that moment, he really thought that Gryffindors were all fools, idiots, and reckless men, and he said a lot of nasty things.
Thinking of the senior Gryffindor students who were watching at the time, and Professor McGonagall's lips trembling with anger, Harry wanted to bang his head on the ground.
When will this kind of day end?
Hermione, who was also visiting Harry, didn't care about Harry's pain - he had been suffering for a month anyway - but after hearing Ron's words, she closed the book and corrected him, "Percy was angry not because Harry betrayed Gryffindor, but because Harry was holding Penelope Clearwater's feet, with snot and tears all over his face!"
Ron was stunned: "P...what?"
"Penelope Clearwater, Ravenclaw Head Girl!"
Ron felt a little confused: "Wait, what does Harry holding her feet have to do with Percy?"
Hermione looked at him with contempt: "Because Clearwater is Percy's girlfriend, Ronald Weasley, maybe you will become a family in the future!"
"……how do you know?"
"Percy told me."
