Two weeks before the start of the new school year passed unnoticed.
I was suffering from nightmares and tried to forget them with physical training. Sotis I imrsed myself in old textbooks on DADA and other books.
Occluncy turned out to be quite exciting but horribly boring, monotonous, and complicated science. It takes extraordinary intelligence, endurance, and self-control to master this discipline - the sa for legilincy. I haven't touched the latter yet, and there are several reasons for this. There are no experintal subjects, nowhere to practice. The chanism by which the supervision of improper use of magic is carried out is still unknown. Most likely, it's so kind of area enchantnt. It is too problematic to register every magic wand but to put a spell on the area in which the Muggle-born lives is possible. It will be necessary to find out the details. How many tis do I tell myself this?
Regarding Occluncy. There is absolutely nothing here connected with so kind of shields and so on. It is just control over your own consciousness and subconsciousness - the ability to structure your mories, knowledge, sensations, emotions. Control is the key to success. The mind is not an open book. It cannot be simply read by opening it to the desired page. Just as the Legilint must interpret what he saw in soone else's mind, the Occlunt needs to show what he wants to divert the agile mind of Legilint aside from the important.
For success in occluncy, you need to train mory, attentiveness, be able to look at yourself and your thoughts as if from the outside, with an open mind. If you suddenly start to rember sothing for no reason when talking with a person - he is digging in your head! There are many different exercises, ditations, and more to achieve the proper level of control. But perhaps the most important skill in Occluncy is "not thinking about the white monkey." Do not think about the obvious. Literally, deceive yourself.
Reading this book made various magic tricks erge from my nightmares. Among them, you could find several ways to close your consciousness, but all of them, to so extent, turned against . Loss of empathic sensitivity to others, burning out my own emotions, loss of any of the feelings, in general, that is still a lobotomy. But quickly and efficiently. But I don't want to follow this path - it's better to work on yourself properly than to rush and remain ntally disabled. Therefore, I studied the book, perford various ntal exercises, improved mindfulness, learned to hide my consciousness behind a "mask." ntal homunculus, which, when needed, would jump out like a devil from the box, taking on the legilint. And then I will slip the necessary mories, emotions, and sensations.
The first of September, as always happens, ca suddenly. Just waking up one day, I realized that it was ti to collect things.
The Knights gave a lift to the train station. Having said goodbye to them, I once again rolled the cart with only one chest. The pirate, like last year, will live with the Knights and bring assignnts from the regular school.
On platform nine and three quarters, I imdiately took out my wand and shrunk the chest into my pocket. Today I was in black again. Interestingly enough, dreams gradually fade away. Not in terms of quantity, but in terms of influence on . Almost imperceptibly, but the rotten mood slowly fades into the background.
On the train, I walked through the carriages and found Hermione in one of the compartnts.
"Hi," I waved my hand.
"Hi," the girl smiled at , looking up from the book. "Have you already read those textbooks that we bought?"
I pulled out the smaller chest, returned it to its original size, shoved it under the seat, and sat down opposite Hermione.
"Yeah. Good books. High quality. We will need to buy them for each year."
"Of course," the girl nodded. "Good academic text. A minimum of assumptions, a maximum of facts. Capaciously and accurately."
"Exactly."
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to practice," Hermione smiled wistfully and went back to reading.
I decided to follow her example and took out a book on enchantnts. The train started, and we drove on in silence. Surprisingly, none of the students were particularly eager to get into our compartnt. Students passed by looked in, but not finding sothing important for themselves, left. This was repeated over and over again and even beca sowhat annoying.
We got so visitors once again. Neville and Seamus.
"Hi guys," Neville nodded and asked, embarrassed, "Have you seen Harry and Ron?
"Hi, Neville," I nodded, distracted from my book. "No, we haven't. At least ."
Hermione shook her head.
"Weird. Where could they go?" Neville said thoughtfully.
"I bet they again found so adventures for themselves," smiled Seamus.
I rembered that this year we will have the Malfoy's house-elf, the seventh Weasley under the influence of the Horcrux, basilisk, petrification, and other crap. How to keep myself and Hermione safe? It's worth thinking about. I have a mirror, but this is not an option. Pictures of radical thods of solving the problem with the help of various spells and rituals with a fatal outco for both the seventh and the basilisk were spinning in my head. Hmmm. And why haven't I bothered with this question before? Damn.
