27. Occlumency

"You should know that this is a special time!"

Felch's sharp voice echoed on the corridor, and he stared fiercely at every student present.

"People who have done this should come to me immediately and surrender themselves. I might be able to open the Internet and punish them according to normal school rules! But if no one admits it and I am finally arrested, I will make him regret not coming to me for mistakes at this time!"

The students looked at each other, and no one seemed to want to admit their mistakes. Felch's threat was more like a harsh person. He actually had no idea of ​​pursuing it. Finally, it was lunch time and he had to leave it alone.

During lunch, Jon looked at Ron with a suspicion.

"You can't do this, are you?"

Ron immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"How is that possible? I never opened the door again after being punished last time. If you don't believe me, ask Neville. He was with us all the morning. If he is there, he will definitely stop us."

Neville nodded.

"We did stay in the common room this morning, but what did you do in the morning?"

Jon did not hide too much about this. From now on, he would go to Slughorn's office every night. Neville, who was in the same dormitory as him, would sooner or later know about it.

"Professor Slughorn wanted to teach me something alone and let me go to his office every night in a few days."

Hearing his words, Ron and Justin both showed sympathy on their faces.

"Then you won't have much less spare time in the future."

Ravend rolled his eyes at both of them.

"You think everyone is like you."

Neville patted Jon on the shoulder with a happy expression.

"This is a good thing for you. Professor Slughorn is very respected in the magic world both before and now. He is the only one in this carriage that is not wanted by the Ministry of Magic. You will definitely learn something from him."

Jon was a little curious about this.

"Why is the only Professor Slughorn who is not wanted?"

Before Neville could speak, Ron said in a low voice.

"Because he was the dean of Slattering College, and he held this position longer than Dumbledore's president of Hogwarts. Now almost all the pure blood officials in the Ministry of Magic are his students and are taken care of by him during his school years. There are rumors that even that man was a former favorite student of Professor Slughorn, so if the professor did not come to us and he would definitely gain higher power and fame if he went to the other side. Now that he is our professor, the Ministry of Magic has not spoken about this matter, just like he didn't know about it at all. I heard from the adults that this should have been done on purpose by that man."

Jon pondered Ron's words.

Of course, he didn't think Voldemort was thinking about his old love when he treated Slughorn like this. For men who are more suitable for the title of Dark King, feelings are just as garbage as the so-called ideals. Only rights and dictatorship are what he really cares about.

Jon felt that Slughorn could be with Dumbledore's side, but Voldemort did not force him too much, because he had the secret about Voldemort's immortality.

Now did Slughorn tell Dumbledore that Jon doesn't know, and Voldemort must not know either. He is telling himself, the former dean, that he has left room for himself and hopes that the fat walrus will be smarter and that some things can be done, but some words cannot be said.

Of course, the premise of these speculations is that Voldemort's arrangement of the Horcrux is the same as the original one, without any change.

The situation in the entire magic world is now in a mess, who knows what the Horcrux is like?

He didn't think too much about these things that Jon could not touch on for the moment. All he could do now was to strengthen his self-protection strength down-to-earth.

Except for the terrifying day that the students in the carriage were frightened by the attack, there was no follow-up after that.

It seemed as if Dumbledore said that Auror, who launched an attack on Hogwarts, just accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the carriage during a patrol. Before the Ministry of Magic arrived, the professors had already solved the problem.

In addition to the tense atmosphere on the carriage a week after the attack, as time went by, the tense atmosphere slowly dissipated and the school returned to normal teaching life.

In the spell class in the third week of school, Jon finally learned the first spell in his life - the floating spell.

This is also the first spell that almost every wizard comes into contact with after learning magic. Its casting spells is not difficult, and the effect is only to make light objects fly up and heavy objects become lighter. It is a simple but very practical spell.

Just as Slughorn said, Jon's magical talent is indeed very good. In the spell class, he was the first among the five freshmen to successfully use a suspended spell. Even Neville, who already had experience in casting spells, did not successfully let the feathers on the desk hang up.

For this reason, Flevi, whose leg injury had been completely healed, was so excited that he spared Jon's spell class homework.

And on the same day, the day when Slughorn officially started teaching Jon also began.

"The study of brain closure has nothing to do with what I want to teach you later."

There is a stone basin on Slughorn's desk. The stone basin looks old and can be called an old antique.

"The main purpose of learning this magic is to protect what I will teach you later, as well as the existence of this ring. There are many methods in the magic world that can make people's memories, potions, spells, and even people can read people's hearts by nature. Brain closure is undoubtedly the best protection for these methods."

Jon naturally knew the effect of brain closure. Even if Slughorn doesn't take the initiative to teach him now, he will find other means to learn this magic in the future.

The memories of his previous life in his mind are crucial. If they are not protected, in this dangerous magic world, it is like nakedly opening the memories in his mind to others.

But now Jon is concerned about how Slughorn will teach him.

If Jon could not accept it if he directly forced his memory to invade his brain closure like the original Snape taught Harry's closure technique.
