Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 45 Flight Lessons and Meditation

Ravenclaw's flying lesson was scheduled for Friday afternoon, with Hufflepuff, outside the castle where Connor hadn't come for a long time.

Connor hasn't left the castle for several days. Recently, he has been obsessed with studying magic. He even seldom draws pictures for girls. It's rare to come out once. Connor snapped his fingers: the halo effect is MAX!Comfortable, I must be the brightest boy in the crowd under the sun.

"Hi, Connor!"

"Hey, Cedric." Connor greeted Cedric with a smile. Since Fred "inadvertently" said that he taught the five of them to the troll when he chatted with Cedric last time, Cedric The relationship with Connor's group is much closer, and the first-year trolls haven't dared to bully Hufflepuff students for a long time.

In other words, if Connor's limelight hadn't overshadowed Cedric, he would definitely be the most dazzling student in the first grade. He has a good personality, is handsome, and is strong in learning. These settings used by Connor can be applied to Cedric. , and Cedric is a good boy who looks the same on the outside, which is different from Mou Na who is bright and bright on the outside but has a bad stomach on the inside.

Of course, Connor could see that Cedric was a typical nice guy, so he was happy to make this friend.

"Connor, why haven't I seen Fred George and the others recently? They disappeared every time after class, and the two of you stay in the dormitory every day. It's not easy to find you to play with," Cedric said.

"I don't know what they've been up to lately. Ever since Filch caught them using magic in the corridor and locked them into confinement, they've been so mysterious." Connor shrugged.

"I know, I know!" Roger raised his hand, "Lee told me before that they seem to have found a new secret passage."

"They can discover new secret passages every day. What's the reason? And why didn't they tell me when they discovered the secret passage? I think they must be doing bad things behind my back." Connor said pretending not to care, and the twins became more and more worried Obedient, although they have never obediently listened to.
"But." Roger wanted to continue. Mrs. Huo Qi, the teacher of the flying class over there, has come out in a hurry. Mrs. Qi is probably the most leisurely teacher at Hogwarts.

"Students, I am Rolanda Hooch, and I will teach you flying lessons in the first grade. Now, each of you find a broom and stand by the side."

Some young wizards realized that there were already two rows of tattered brooms placed on the ground, so they hurriedly found their positions and stood up.

"Put your right hand over the broomstick," Mrs. Hooch called between the two rows, "and say: UP!"

"UP!" x25
Connor didn't yell out stupidly, the broom had already flown into his hands consciously, it was just the simplest application of magic power, and he had been playing with it since he was eight years old.

But there are still many little wizards whose brooms are not very obedient. The broom rolls around but doesn't fly - such as Roger.

Roger was sweating profusely, and looked at Connor for help.

"Calm down, imagine the scene of the broom flying into your hand, and unleash your magic power." Connor could only point at the side.

In fact, it is a very simple matter. There are various magic patterns engraved on the broom. As long as it has magic power, it will fly by itself. Because most of the little wizards in the first grade do not know how to control magic power, so for them, can they control the broom to fly smoothly? Getting it in your hand is indeed a good way to verify compatibility with the broomstick.

But in fact, it would be easier to lift the broom directly with magic power, but obviously Roger didn't realize that it could be done this way, and the little wizards struggled for a while before letting the broom fly into their hands.

Mrs Hooch then showed them how to get on the broom without slipping off their heads.She walked up and down the line, correcting their posture.

"As soon as I blow my whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and push hard," Mrs. Hooch said. "Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly, and fall straight back to the ground. Listen my whistle"

The following flight lessons passed peacefully, except that Mrs. Huo Qi added two points for Connor's excellent performance, there was nothing else going on!The girls looked at Connor with more fiery eyes. After all, many girls prefer sporty guys, although Connor doesn't think riding a broom is just a sport.

Today Connor is going to consult Professor Nott about Occlumency.

-

"I'm not surprised that you came to seek my help." In the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Professor Nott sipped his tea casually, and said to Connor, "Have you finished reading the book?"

"I've read it, but I don't know where to start." Connor said frankly.

"It's true that learning Occlumency is not easy, but it's not without tricks. Over the years, Auror training courses have formed several effective learning methods. Of course, these are all kept secret." Professor Norton blinked and said. : "But if I tell you secretly, no one else knows, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything!" Connor blurted out without even thinking about it.

"Very good," Professor Norton organized his words, and said slowly: "Occlumency works on the space of consciousness, and what is space of consciousness, you have already learned about it through that book. Direct training of Occlumency really makes people feel better. People don’t have a clue, the old way is to let a person keep using Legilimency on you, and slowly learn Occlumency through continuous resistance and counterattack. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and rude and quick to work, but I don’t think you are in a hurry to learn the brain Occlusion, then you can try the second method."

"I think this method is suitable for you after all, because Occlumency works on the conscious space, but because we don't have a concrete understanding of the conscious space, we can't do it. If we can transform the abstract conscious space into a concrete Learning Occlumency is easy when you have a space you can feel."

"You mean we can feel this consciousness space?" Connor thought that this superficial consciousness space is the cerebral cortex, can this thing still be felt?
"Of course, this is an ability called meditation in the past. It allows us to sneak into our consciousness space from the perspective of a third person. This is a skill that mages in the past must learn." Professor Norton said: " But in modern times, meditation is no longer valued, and now there are fewer and fewer wizards who are willing to calm down and study magic."

meditation!Connor's eyes lit up, and he finally heard this word in the magical world. Before, he thought that the magical world dominated by warlocks did not have this ability. "Professor! What is the specific function of meditation?"

"Uh, it's just being able to sneak into the space of consciousness. When we think about things more clearly during meditation, well, it's said that it can also exercise our mental strength, and it has no other effect. Be valued." Professor Nott sighed.

"I want to learn, please teach me."

"Of course, I'm going to do that." Nott smiled happily, once again clearly feeling that Connor is a natural mage, and this kid will have great achievements in the future. Nott is very happy that he has the opportunity to teach such a mage. Future Archmage.
