Chapter 676: Chapter 660: Tit for Tat, The Teaching Assistant’s Role (2)
"Professor Snape..." At this mont, Kael, who had remained silent, suddenly stepped forward, "I think as a competent teaching assistant, it’s necessary for
to demonstrate to Harry how it’s done."
Snape initially didn’t understand what this ant until he saw the eager expression on Kael’s face and the wand in his hand.
"I clearly disagree with you; a competent teaching assistant doesn’t need to act without permission," Snape said with a dark expression, feeling the urge to scold.
He naturally spoke to Harry however he wanted; after all, the little magic Harry knew wouldn’t affect him.
But Kael was different... Snape had no plans to change his office anyti soon.
At this mont, Harry finally noticed that besides Snape, there was another person present.
"Kael, what are you doing here?" he exclaid in surprise. "Are you also here to learn Occluncy?"
For a mont, Harry was quite excited; having a familiar face was far better than facing Snape alone.
Before Kael could explain, Snape interjected:
"Potter, if you realized you still had ears, you would have noticed we just ntioned the term ’teaching assistant.’
"Teaching Assistant?"
"I’m truly glad you heard it this ti. I shouldn’t need to explain the aning of ’teaching assistant’ to you, right?" Snape taunted, glancing at Kael before fixing his gaze back on Harry.
"If your Occluncy skills were even half... no, even just a third as good as his, we wouldn’t be wasting ti here now."
Harry felt another wave of sha.
"Alright, enough chit-chat." Snape lifted his eyes.
He did not imdiately cast a spell on Harry; instead, he first took out a Pensieve from the cabinet, placed his wand against his temple, and extracted a strand of silvery mory, letting it gently fall into the Pensieve.
He repeated the sa action three tis in total.
Kael squinted his eyes; he finally realized what Snape intended to do with the Pensieve.
Snape’s thod of teaching Harry Occluncy seed to involve using Legilincy to invade Harry’s mind, forcing him into constant practice.
Although this thod was the most effective, it also had certain drawbacks; for instance, during the use of Legilincy, if the other party suddenly managed to master Occluncy, even by accident, there’s a chance the Legilincy could rebound.
Kael speculated that when Snape first taught Harry Occluncy, such a situation likely occurred.
No wonder Snape was so furious a few days ago; now it all made sense.
Harry accidentally rebounded Snape’s Legilincy curse and took the opportunity to glimpse so of his hidden secrets.
If that’s the case, even a fleeting glance would be enough to make Snape livid.
The solution to this problem is simple: just remove the mories you don’t want others to see from your mind.
And the Pensieve serves as a repository for those mories.
It seems these three mories are very important to Snape... What could they be?
Kael felt so curiosity and couldn’t help but glance at the Pensieve, now placed back into the cabinet, though it was locked by Snape, giving him no chance to open it.
"Now, get ready..." Snape pointed his wand at Harry, "Legilincy!"
Harry’s wand could only emit a white light before his body stiffened and he uncontrollably fell to the ground.
"Debilito!"
Kael waved his wand, and the hard ground instantly beca as soft as a cushion, cushioning Harry’s fall.
Simultaneously, Snape let out a muffled groan, withdrawing his hand holding the wand.
There was a red swollen mark on his wrist, looking like a burn.
"Stinging Jinx?" Kael raised an eyebrow.
One must admit Harry’s response was quite decent.
Legilincy is a continuous magic, requiring a constant connection between one’s magic power and the person’s mind being invaded...
In the absence of a way to counter the spell, finding a way to break the opponent’s magical connection could be a good strategy.
Besides the Stinging Jinx, there’s the Disarming Spell, the Knockback Jinx, The Blasting Curse, or even the Patronus Charm.
As Snape lowered his wand, Harry gradually opened his eyes.
He was first surprised at not feeling any pain from the fall, then looked warily at Snape.
"Is this all you know, these little tricks?" Snape coldly asked, rubbing his wrist.
"I..."
"Legilincy!"
Just as Harry was about to speak, Snape extended his wand once more.
Harry’s body again beca rigid.
"No, stop..." he shouted, collapsing to the ground.
This ti, however, Snape stopped Kael from softening the ground again.
"Suffering so injuries will help him grasp this magic faster."
"Then what should I do?" Kael asked.
"Do nothing," Snape glanced at him, "just watch from the side."
Kael shrugged, remaining silent.
anwhile, Harry was awakened by the pain of his knee hitting the table.
"You’re ambushing ," he shouted angrily at Snape. "I wasn’t ready yet."
"Your enemies won’t let you prepare in advance," Snape reprimanded. "It’s hard to believe if you’re truly taking this seriously, you’ve made no progress after all these days."
