Connor's Hogwarts

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

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. He rarely comes 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 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 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. They are becoming more and more disobedient, although they have 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 teaches flying lessons to first-year students and is also responsible for organizing Quidditch competitions. , Mrs. Hooch 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 broom flying into your hand, and release your magic..." 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.

"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, nothing else happened... Oh!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 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 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 blinked. Blinking, he said, "But no one else knows if I tell you secretly, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything!" 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 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 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. Now fewer and fewer wizards 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?"

"Well, 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, but it has no other effect. It is just because it is too useless. , Meditation is not taken seriously." 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.
