Connor's Hogwarts

Ravenclaw's flying lesson was scheduled for Friday afternoon, with Hufflepuff, and Connor came outside the castle after a long absence.

Connor has not left the castle for several days. He has been obsessed with studying magic recently and has rarely even painted pictures for girls. It is a rare occasion for him to come out. Connor snapped his fingers: The halo effect is MAX! I feel comfortable. I must be the brightest one in the crowd under the sun.

"Hi Connor!"

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

It is said that if Connor hadn't overshadowed Cedric, he would definitely have been the most dazzling student in the first grade. He has such a good personality, good looks and strong academic skills. These settings that Connor has used can be applied to Cedric. , and Cedric is a good boy who looks the same on the outside, unlike Souna who is bright and shiny on the outside but full of bad intentions secretly.

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

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

"I don't know what they have been up to recently. They have been so mysterious since Filch caught them using magic in the corridor last time and put them in solitary confinement." Connor shrugged.

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

"They discover new secret passages every day. What's the excuse? 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. The twins became more and more annoyed. They were obedient, even though they had never been obedient.

"But..." Roger wanted to continue, but the flying teacher over there, Mrs. Huo Qi, had already come out in a hurry. Mrs. Huo Qi only taught flying lessons to first-year students, and was also responsible for organizing Quidditch competitions. Huo Qi Mrs. Qi is probably the most laid-back teacher at Hogwarts.

"Classmates, I am Rolanda Hooch. I will teach you flying lessons in the first grade. Now, each of you find a broom and stand next to it."

Some young wizards discovered that two rows of tattered brooms had been placed on the ground, and they quickly found their places to stand.

"Put your right hand over the broom handle," Mrs. Hooch shouted from between the two rows of people, "and say: UP!"

"UP!"x25

Connor didn't scream stupidly. The broom flew into his hand consciously. It was just the simplest application of magic. He had been playing it very well since he was eight years old.

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

Roger was sweating profusely and looked at Connor for help.

"Calm down, imagine the broom flying into your hand, and unleash your magic." Connor could only point beside him.

In fact, it is a very simple thing. There are various magic patterns engraved on the broom. As long as there is magic power, it will fly by itself. Because most first-year wizards do not know how to control magic power, it is difficult for them to control the broom to fly smoothly. It is indeed a good way to verify the 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 this could be done. The little wizards struggled for a while before they all got the broom to fly into their hands.

Then Mrs. Hooch showed them how to ride on a broom without falling off their heads. She walked around the group, correcting their sitting postures.

"When I blow the whistle later, you push your legs off the ground and push hard." Mrs. Huo Qi said, "Hold the broom steadily, rise a few feet, then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground. Listen. my whistle"

The rest of the flying lesson passed peacefully. Apart from Mrs. Hooch adding two points for Connor's excellent performance, there was nothing else going on! The girls looked at Connor a little more passionately. After all, many girls prefer sporty boys, although Connor didn't think riding a broom was considered a sport.

Today Connor will go to Professor Nott to consult about Occlumency.

——

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

"I've finished reading it, but I don't know where to start." Connor said calmly.

"It is indeed not easy to learn Occlumency, but it is not without tricks. Over the years, Auror training courses have developed several effective learning methods. Of course, these are confidential." Professor Norton said with a wink. : "But no one else knows if I tell you secretly, right?"

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

"Very good," Professor Norton organized the language and said slowly: "Occlumency works on the consciousness space. What is the consciousness space? You have already learned this through that book. Directly training Occlumency does make it easier to People have no clue. The old method is to have someone use Legilimency on you continuously, and slowly learn Occlumency through constant resistance and counterattack. The advantage of this method is that it is simple, rough and effective, but I don’t think you are in a hurry to learn the brain. Occlumency, then you can try the second method."

"I think this method is suitable for you after all, because Occlumency works on the space of consciousness, but because we don't have a specific understanding of the space of consciousness, we can't start. If we can transform the abstract space of consciousness into concrete It is very easy to learn Occlumency when you have a space that you can feel.”

"You mean we can feel this conscious space?" Connor thought that this surface conscious space is the cerebral cortex. Can this thing still be felt?

"Of course, this is an ability that was called meditation in the past. It allows us to sneak into our own consciousness space from the perspective of a third party. This was a skill that mages in the past had to learn," Professor Norton said: " But in modern times, meditation has not been taken seriously, and now fewer and fewer wizards are willing to calm down and study magic."

meditation! Connor's eyes lit up. 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?"

"Well, it means that it can sneak into the space of consciousness. When we meditate, we will think more clearly. Well, it is said that it can also exercise mental strength. Apart from that, it has no other effect. It is precisely because it is too useless that meditation is not To be taken seriously." Professor Nott sighed.

"I want to learn, please teach me."

"Of course, that's what I'm about to do." Nott said with a happy smile. Once again, he clearly felt that Connor was a born mage. This child will have great achievements in the future. Nott was very happy that he had the opportunity to teach such a wizard. The future Archmage.
