The years of welding at Hogwarts

In Dumbledore's imagination, the existence of the Order of the Phoenix will be revealed to Harry sooner or later. After all, the purpose of this secret organization's existence is to defeat the Dark Lord.

In the past, it was to defeat the first generation Dark Lord who made the entire European and American magic world tremble in fear, and now it is to defeat this village-level terrorist.

As Voldemort's chosen opponent, this is a reality that Harry cannot escape no matter what.

If Voldemort could hack into and read Harry's mind at any time, then some of the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix...

In short, Occlumency is very necessary for Harry.

The second option is a little difficult for Harry. Since this link is bidirectional, why can't Harry reversely invade Voldemort's mind to read the darkest secrets in his heart?

For example, how many Horcruxes exist, what are the objects that are made into Horcruxes, and where are they hidden?

However, with Voldemort's level of Legilimency, this would be a very, very big challenge for Harry, although Harry might be able to invade quietly without causing any trouble for Voldemort before he was aware of the existence of this link.

Attention.

But Legilimency and Occlumency have always gone hand in hand.

A wizard who is proficient in Legilimency will not be too bad in Occlumency.

With Voldemort's level, just the passive brain-blocking defense would make Harry's invasion extremely difficult and impossible to start.

It would require Harry to make great efforts to improve his Legilimency, with a high probability of failure, and there was also the possibility that Harry would be completely controlled by Voldemort as the link deepened.

and so……

If it had been in the past, before the appearance of Neville Longbottom, the fat boy who created endless possibilities with the power of faith, Dumbledore would definitely have chosen the former without hesitation.

However, the Hufflepuff Hammer God is now able to swing his hammer and chase a group of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest and smash them.

That's a 4X level magical creature, something even an adult wizard might not be able to deal with.

Harry, why don't you take a look at yourself? What have you learned in Hogwarts in the past half year?

Since Remus Lupin and several other new professors joined Hogwarts to fill the staff shortage, Hogwarts' monthly examination system now covers first-year students.

However, considering that first-year students have not learned much yet, there is no need for them to take an exam every month. They will just have an additional midterm exam compared to the past.

After the Iron Trio of Saviors lost Hermione, the wise guy who could tutor his classmates, Harry's grades were a complete mess.

Apart from the talent in magical offense and defense inherited from his father James Potter, Harry's grades in other subjects were just struggling to pass.

Seeing how the Savior was content with the status quo, Dumbledore was really heartbroken by Harry's lack of ambition.

At your age now, with such test results, can you sleep well?

How do you sleep well? Do you have any ambition?

"Minerva, I think..."

When Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall about his arrangement for the Savior classmate, he was immediately criticized harshly by the older cat girl.

"You're playing with fire! Albus! This is pure madness!"

Facing Professor McGonagall's questioning, Dumbledore simply gave an example, "Although they are both the same age, Mr. Neville Longbottom is no less capable than an average adult wizard in terms of combat ability."

He didn't use Noah as an example.

They were both first-year students. Although the talent displayed by Neville was still within his understanding, Noah was already a guy who could fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Not to mention Cricket Voldemort, even if Dumbledore and Grindelwald were tied together, the magical talents they displayed in their childhood were not as ridiculous as that guy.

"Created" an entire new magic system from scratch.

To this day, Dumbledore still appears at Noah's and his friends' gatherings from time to time as the Kamar-Taj branch advisor to Hogwarts.

Apart from teaching the students the Patronus Charm at the first gathering, subsequent gatherings were basically Noah teaching this newly formed student organization a set of magic that Noah called "The Secret of Kamar-Taj".

Are there really people in this world who are born with knowledge?

Dumbledore couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from excluding Noah, the jerk, and setting Longbottom as a goal for his beloved savior, Harry, to catch up with.

Since Harry himself was unwilling to work hard, he would whip him severely and force him to work hard.

"You should know that, as the boy mentioned in the prophecy, one day, Harry will have to face Voldemort."

Dumbledore sighed quietly, "Minerva, we can't protect him forever. Harry has to grow up eventually."

"If we continue to overprotect him like this, and the day comes when we are no longer able to protect him, and if he still has no independent ability, how will he face Voldemort?"

Professor McGonagall strongly disagreed with Dumbledore's statement, "But that's not a reason for you to let a first-year kid try to invade Voldemort's mind!"

"That's basically asking Harry to destroy himself! We have to take one step at a time!"

"I know, so I plan to teach him from the very basics. Before he learns how to attack, he must first master the means of defense, so as not to play with fire and get burned."

"I don't agree! Even if Potter has mastered the art of occlumency, letting him engage in a soul-level confrontation with the You-Know-Who is just playing with fire!"

Professor McGonagall slammed the door angrily and left, leaving only these words before she left:

"You're going to regret this, Dumbledore!"

Looking at Professor McGonagall's departing back, Dumbledore said firmly, "Minerva! I am the headmaster!"

Chapter 201 Ravenclaw’s Diadem

When asked to teach Harry Occlumency, Snape refused.

Although you, Old Deng, are the top leader of this school and my immediate superior, I cannot say that I will just follow your instructions.

He went to teach, and the person he taught was that extremely annoying guy.

How embarrassing would that be for me?

"Harry's soul and Voldemort's soul are entangled together, creating a special connection between the two..."

When Dumbledore told him about his reverse invasion plan, Snape, who had long wanted to avenge Shirley, immediately changed his attitude 180 degrees when he heard that this could help him kill the noseless monster.

As long as the noseless monster can be killed, it would be worth it even if Snape had to let go of the grudge against Pot for stealing his love.

Of course, he could only let it go temporarily. After he killed Voldemort and made sure that Shirley would never be in any danger again, it would not be too late to settle the score with Pott's son for this act of stealing her love.

This wave is the son paying off his father’s debt.

Before he began to torture his savior classmate happily, Snape found Noah and placed a silver crown in front of the confused Noah.

At this time, Noah was squatting in Neville's dormitory with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

The first-year Hufflepuffs had their first class this morning. Everyone in their dormitory was already having breakfast in the hall. In the huge dormitory, only Noah and Snape, two outsiders from Slytherin, were left.

As for why Noah was squatting here, we have to ask the fat turkey who was not sleeping well and wanted to launch a night attack.

I don’t know what’s wrong with that fat turkey. He always wants to transform into a human form and crawl into his bed.

Noah had a fight with Fawkes over this matter right after the lights were turned off at Hogwarts, and in the end he managed to push Fawkes, who was in the form of a fat turkey, back into his own bird's nest.

As a result, as soon as I lay back on my bed and closed my eyes, I saw that this not-so-honest fat turkey had turned back into human form at some point and was standing in front of my bed, staring at me.

The look in his eyes, which was full of desire to explore the human body, made Noah feel uneasy.

It is not known whether the suitcase of precious books that Draco placed under the bed was found by Fawkes, and now the fat turkey wants to find someone to experiment with the "powerful magic" recorded in the book.

Well, it’s the kind of magic that everyone who understands it will understand, but those who don’t understand it won’t understand even if you tell them.

This made Noah afraid to spend the night in his own dormitory, so he carried his bedding and ran to Hufflepuff House, which was only two corridors away from the Slytherin common room.

Fortunately, although he was severely beaten by Phoenix, he escaped in time and thus managed to keep his First Blood.

Seeing that the rust on the Ravenclaw crown had completely disappeared, Noah boldly reached out his hand with a rough guess in his mind.

Without any protection, he directly touched the crown that had been made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

"You removed the fragment of Voldemort's soul?"

Snape shook his head to show his approval of Noah's statement, but the slightly raised corners of his expressionless face vaguely revealed a hint of pride.

Is this a success and a failure?

"I removed all the dark magic from the crown, restoring it to its original appearance. At the same time, I successfully preserved the fragments of Voldemort's soul without destroying the crown."

In other words, the soul of Voldemort inside the crown is now a shell that has been pried open.

Although the shell was still intact, the flesh inside was completely defenseless.

I don't know why, but when Noah heard Snape say this, he always had an auditory hallucination that "I removed most of the fishy smell from the intestines, but retained some of it."

Shaking his head to drive away these messy thoughts from his mind, Noah picked up the crown in front of him with interest and looked at Snape curiously, "How did you do it?"

"With your current half-baked level of black magic, it's still too early for you to understand this process."

Noah didn't know if it was because he was happy that the protective magic of the crown was broken, but he always felt that Snape's venomous tongue had declined a lot today compared to the past, not even half of his peak period.

"So, you also have a way to deal with the protective magic on the resurrection stone ring?"

Snape nodded.

The crown and the ring are different Horcruxes left behind by Voldemort at different times. Although the curse magic left by Voldemort on them is different, they are not too different.

The curse cast by the same person will always follow his previous routine. With the crown as a reference, it will be much easier to break the curse on the resurrection stone ring with the same idea than to start from scratch.

"I need to leave Hogwarts for a while."

Noah was not surprised by Snape's statement. The Resurrection Stone Ring was still lying quietly in the safe of his private villa in Birmingham.

For safety reasons, Noah would never be able to safely leave something like that dangerous, something that could particularly tempt a poor man like Snape to wear, with Snape.

What if one day Old Si loses his patience and puts on the ring without waiting for the curse to be broken, then things will be serious.

"So, you want me to substitute for you again?"

The corner of Noah's mouth twitched. "Do you think I look like someone who can teach NEWTs advanced potions class?"

"The senior Potions class will be handled by Dumbledore like last time, and the junior Potions class will also be handled by Professor Brian. You have another task."

"What mission?"

Snape spoke slowly, "Teach Potter to master Occlumency."

Even though Snape said so, Noah still rejected Snape's proposal without a second thought.

"I'll get the Resurrection Stone Ring for you. I need to leave Hogwarts. The Voldemort issue cannot be delayed any longer."

Noah looked at Snape firmly. "If he is still hiding in London, as long as I complete the magic circle of the Sanctuary of Kamar-Taj, I will be able to pull this sewer rat out of London."

"Unless he completely abandons magic and does not produce any magical fluctuations at all."

After looking at Noah for a long time and seeing that Noah still insisted on doing this, Snape could only agree reluctantly.

Because of Dumbledore, Noah could not leave Hogwarts in front of Dumbledore, so Snape proposed a compromise.

"Let's use Polyjuice Potion to swap identities."

After getting enough hair from Noah to maintain the effects of Polyjuice Potion for a long time, Snape suddenly stopped before leaving the Hufflepuff dormitory.

"Do you know of any quick introduction to Occlumency that would be suitable for beginners?"

Noah was a little confused when he heard Snape, the master of Occlumency, suddenly ask such a question.

But based on Noah's understanding of Snape, he quickly guessed the specific reason why Snape asked this question from the love-hate relationship between Snape and Potter.

"Are you talking about Harry?"

Harry was unlucky.

In the original time and space, he did not have a twin sister like Shirley, but he could still rely on his eyes inherited from Lily to act cute and coquettish in front of Snape in exchange for a little favor from the old bat.

After all, those eyes were the last thing Lily left in this world.

But with Shirley, a smaller Lily who inherited Lily Evans's looks and talents, the green eyes of the current savior classmate no longer have any effect on the ruthless old bat.

Harry inherited most of James' appearance, but with a face that looks like a love-stealing enemy, is he going to compete with his sister for his life?

There was no hope, Harry was hopeless.

Since you want to pursue excitement, you might as well just go straight to the end.

If Snape's method was followed, it would definitely be the simplest and most brutal method, constantly performing Legilimency to invade Harry's thoughts and memories, but this would be useless.

Such a rough teaching method would only cause indelible damage to Harry's fragile mind, making him resist learning Occlumency.

Noah has a more "gentle" approach.

"I don't think you need to give Harry one-on-one training. You can give him some extra spice in the magic attack and defense classes."

A hint of interest appeared on Snape's expressionless face, and he motioned for Noah to continue.

"The weakest link of these first-year students when facing a battle is their willpower. You can use this as a starting point and propose in class that they should receive special 'willpower strengthening training'. The specific approach is..."
