Chapter 295 Start learning

"Tyler?"

When Andrew knocked on Professor McGonagall's office door, the professor was stunned.

Fortunately, the professor has always been serious and never relaxes too much even during holidays.

"Today is your day off, right?"

"I should, but I got into some trouble and had to go back to school to get help."

Andrew stated his purpose directly - there was no need to hide it, he really needed to learn the method of Legilimency now.

"Occlumency..."

The professor hesitated, "There is indeed a need, and there is indeed no suitable professor in the castle... We can't ask Albus to teach you."

Andrew could see that the professor really had this plan, but gave up because of something - it shouldn't be that Dumbledore was being lazy and couldn't spare enough time to attend the class.

However, I'm afraid the headmaster doesn't have much time to be lazy. From last semester to now, Andrew occasionally went to the principal's office to deliver documents and saw that Dumbledore had piles of information in front of him. In any case, he didn't look like he was being lazy.

Damn it, it can’t really be because of Dumbledore’s diligence, right?

Oh my god, there’s no way a legend can be true, right?
While Andrew was daydreaming, Professor McGonagall finally made up her mind, "I'll go to the library and bring you the relevant books. You can write the admission letter in the office."

Professor, if it were someone else, shouldn’t it be wait a moment?

In theory I'm on vacation!

But he habitually came to his desk and began to copy the admission letter according to the format - it seemed that the admission book had not yet given the final list, and the letterhead was blank.

But it’s not a big problem - you can simply copy it with an automatic copying quill to make a template, and then once the admission book has finalized the list and the professors have declared the textbooks, you can put it in the ticket and start delivering letters to students.

There are only a limited number of Muggle-born wizards every year, so it is not his turn to be the one to be guided.

When he was halfway through his work, the professor returned with two books from the restricted section that he needed. "Madame Pince is on vacation, so it's much more troublesome to get the books now. If you come back later, it means I'm on vacation, so I'll have to find Albus."

He hadn’t noticed this last summer—it turned out that there were two principals taking turns on duty?
"As for rest issues, I asked them to prepare hammocks when we purchased supplies this year. If you can't go back to the lounge, you can find a place to sleep."

Professor McGonagall said seriously, "Okay, you can take a break after you finish dealing with these letters. You should take a vacation like a vacation. I have to go and hand over to Albus. Next, the office..."

The professor hesitated, "You'd better not come. Albus will occasionally take documents. You'd better hide in the principal's office to study. We can start work when I come back from vacation."

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then remembered the horrific operation his principal had done last year.

"I'll take care of my vacation, Professor."

"Well, that's good. By the way, as for Legilimency, you should go to the Forbidden Forest to find rabbits first. Animals are simpler and their emotions are easier to sense. Even if you fail, it won't cause too much impact. Also, remember to go to the greenhouse to get some nourishing potions. There are always people on duty there."

The professor gave careful instructions and only let Andrew go after making sure he remembered them.

-

"Finally, I got it..."

Holding a book that definitely belongs to the restricted area, Andrew nodded and began to study this spell of controlling memory.

[The universal element of magic, emotion.]

[Many wizards do not agree with this and feel that emotional spellcasting is too close to black magic, because every black wizard is full of crazy destructive thoughts, and the more powerful the black magic, the more it needs these crazy negative emotions. 】【But there is no doubt that this is one-sided. The most classic and least likely to be used by black wizards, the Patronus Charm, also requires emotions, and no one can deny the positive emotions of happiness. 】

[Among other ancient magics, there are also many that use positive emotions such as happiness, love, and joy. Even simple modern spells require some emotional assistance, such as firm confidence.]

[And Legilimency is undoubtedly the best among all spells...]

……

'No wonder it's a book from the forbidden section, it's magnified right away... it's an emotional spell, if you're not careful you'll end up with an extremist.'

Andrew originally thought that this was just a simple introduction to the Legilimency spell, but apparently the author did not intend to do that. He directly made a bunch of analyses based on the spellcasting element of emotion, and the part about Legilimency was only a few of them.

'It's not like writing Legilimency, it's just a dumpling made for the concept of emotional magic.'

But he had to admit that it was effective—and it was consistent with his perception.

When Transfiguration was able to touch the rules, he was already able to experience a little bit of the influence of emotions on the rules. Although it was not as powerful as the spell itself, it was already considerable.

And with this experience, he quickly mastered Legilimency.

Although there were still major flaws in the way he pronounced the spell and waved the wand, and a lot of adjustments were needed, even so, he could already sense a little bit of the emotional problems of the person being cast.

"I'm just afraid of this..."

Andrew looked at the captured rabbit in front of him and was speechless - how could he change the emotions of a captured rabbit and then use Legilimency to perceive it?

Even giving him a female rabbit wouldn't work. He tried it, and both were scared.

"Think positively, it's at least a good start. If it doesn't work, just remember it with the feeling of fear."

He made this decision on the fifth day after Professor McGonagall left school.

Then, on the seventh day after the professor left, there was no progress except that the spellcasting method was improved.

"Forget it, the rabbits probably won't work. Let's try Hagrid's chickens. They're not the same as the ones the professor recommended, but the damage is probably about the same. And the chickens are very familiar with people, so they probably won't be afraid anymore."

To be on the safe side, he took the potion in advance this time.

Then he aimed at the poor rooster and pulled out his magic wand.

"Long time no see, Taylor," a familiar voice came from behind, "Is this Legilimency? It seems that there is something wrong with the casting method."

He turned around and saw a man he often saw at the Chocolate Frog.

"Ah, long time no see, Professor Dumbledore."

"It looks like you need a little help," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I'm happy to give you guidance. It's in my office..."

"I'll be on duty this afternoon, Principal."

Andrew was unusually straightforward - there was no doubt that he couldn't run away, but fortunately his German level should be up to the requirement, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Well, let's talk about the pronunciation of the spell first. You read it too fast..."
