Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

Chapter 150 You Need a Strong Mind

On the morning of the first day of school, Draco had some rare free time.

During the summer vacation, Hannah said somewhat embarrassedly,

It was the Herbology class that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff had together.

Thinking of her persistence in sunflowers, a smile appeared on my face.

Step out of the lounge door, walk up the stairs, turn a few corners, slowly go downstairs, and come to another cellar.

I knocked gently on the wooden door and stepped into the familiar office with a lazy call.

"Good morning, Professor Snape."

"Good morning, Draco."

I recalled everything that happened in the early morning of the World Cup after I had finally recovered my spirit.

-

In the early morning of the World Cup, when Draco was brought back to the Malfoy tent by Dobby, Narcissa was pacing back and forth in front of the tent, twisting her hands.

A rare moment of panic.

When Dobby appeared with Draco, Pansy and Daphne,

Narcissa walked forward quickly with an anxious look on her face, hugging her daughter tightly and not wanting to let go.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry."

With the help of Dobby's magic, Draco regained some strength.

He fell into his mother's arms, full of dependence, and kept apologizing.

Narcissa just shook her head and kissed her daughter's hair.

Feeling her cold skin gradually warm up with relief.

At the same time, do not forget to tell Dobby.

"Take Pansy and Daphne back to their parents, okay?"

"Dobby is happy to help, Mrs. Malfoy."

There was a soft clicking sound and Dobby left with Draco's two best friends.

The popping sound of the wizard's appearance followed closely.

"Where's Draco?"

Lucius's mask had dissipated along with the spell, and his face turned pale.

"dad."

Hearing his daughter's soft cry coming from Narcissa's arms, Lucius also ran forward and hugged his wife and daughter with remorse.

"Go home now."

He spoke anxiously, but his beloved wife shook her head in warning.

"No. She doesn't have the strength to follow the disappearance. If she lets go during the process, it could be dangerous."

" Let Draco rest for a while. We will leave in an hour."

Thinking of the tragedy of the body being dislocated during the process of disappearance,

Lucius was thankful for his wife's calmness, which prevented him from making a very risky decision.

Considering that Dobby was running around at night, risking being noticed by the Death Eaters,

Reminding myself of the news that my daughter had been attacked, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

"That elf, we should have been nicer to him before."

"We'll talk about it later. It's important to get Draco down first."

After returning to the tent, he gradually regained his strength under the care of his parents.

While his parents were sending messages to someone, Draco hurriedly took out the letter from his chest pocket.

After laboriously writing the message on the envelope, he called out to Dobby in his mind, asking him to deliver the envelope to Harry.

-

When they appeared outside the towering iron gate of Malfoy Manor, the couple was relieved to find that Severus was already waiting outside.

After leading Draco back to the boudoir and lying down, Snape examined him carefully.

"The spell isn't very strong, probably because the person who cast it was a little unstable."

"Just take a few days' rest and you'll be fine."

Snape's words reassured Lucius and Narcissa, but their doubts and worries remained.

"Who could it be? Summoning the Mark so blatantly and casting the Unforgivable Curse."

"And you dare to attack my daughter?"

Lucius asked quietly, making no effort to hide his anger.

Snape just waved his hand.

"Let's talk about it when we get downstairs."

"Can't we talk here?"

"Maybe it's time to let Draco know something?"

Narcissa hesitated before speaking.

"Not until she is able to keep the secret."

"We all know that secrets can be easily uncovered even if the person does not want them to."

Absolutely refused. Snape added, seeing Lucius's unhappy expression.

"But not everyone is as proficient in this type of magic as the Dark Lord or you."

"Of course not. But from now on, we must err on the side of caution."

"I will continue to help her with her lessons."

Snape said, his dark eyes looking at the Malfoys.

Narcissa seemed a little unsure, but Lucius understood his friend's hidden meaning and shook his wife's hand.

Only after the two agreed did Snape turn around and lower his head towards Draco.

"Have a good rest. Monday morning when school starts, in my office."

-

"You should have discovered it slowly."

"In the second grade, you are asked to practice concentration and control of emotions all the time. It is a kind of magic."

After Draco stood in front of him, he spoke softly.

A stark contrast to his usual cold tone in Potions class.

Draco nodded.

"When did you find out?"

"The second Dharma Protection class last year."

Draco said quietly, noticing that Severus almost smiled at his answer.

"When you stared at me, I felt some memories flashing through my mind unconsciously."

"It felt like...my memories were flowing out involuntarily until I focused hard enough to stop."

"Very good. You have great talent, Draco."

Severus's satisfied tone brought out the pride in his eyes.

Of course, I can't help but add a sentence.

"Very different from Potter."

"It's a kind of magic called Occlumency. Its counterpart is Legilimency."

“Only the wisest wizards know that the magic of the mind is the most difficult.”

Snape opened his mouth slowly, explaining.

"Mana and talent can make you powerful."

"But if you ignore your heart, I can easily invade your heart,"

"It will confuse you before you can cast a spell."

"Even during a duel, I can see through your mind and know the intention of your next action."

Snape said as he came up to Draco.

"Those fools like Gryffindor who only know how to show off their bravery will never understand this truth in their lifetime."

"Do you want me to master this magic?"

Draco couldn't help laughing. She really did enjoy this kind of sarcasm.

"You've done very well. Last year I asked you to practice on weekdays, and you've made good progress."

"What we need to do is take it a step further and consciously use it as a defensive technique."

"As a defensive spell, can it resist magic like the Imperius Curse?"

Draco suppressed his smile and asked carefully.

"There's a chance. But it depends on the caster. If it's the Dark Lord, it will be very difficult."

"The most important thing to resist the Imperius Curse is to be aware of who you are."

Snape hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Occlumency can certainly help you do that."

"And, to a certain extent, you did it this time."

"But you then spent too much energy resisting the will of the caster."

Snape's dark eyes sparkled.

"This is very dangerous. The premise of resistance is to be aware of the other party's will."

"The more intense your resistance is, the more you'll be distracted and concerned about the other person's thoughts."

"Even if the resistance is successful, the result of being aware of the two wills in the body for a long time is..."

“It’s easy to get yourself into a mental mess.”

After a pause to make sure Draco understood, he continued.

"If you just focus on your own consciousness, you won't be easily influenced."

"Unless the other party is also a first-class Legilimency user."

"That's enough of the explanation. Are you ready?"

Draco nodded, closing his eyes and breathing evenly.

"Very good, let's get started."
