Chapter 416: Friendship Enters Countdown

"You have completely mastered Occlumency?! Or did Professor Snape and Professor Swann jointly determine this?"

Malfoy's brows were almost twisted into a "川" shape. He stared at Harry, who had a calm expression, in disbelief, and his tone was full of surprise and doubt.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It's been less than a day since the last time the two met, how could he have mastered it completely?

It's not April 1st now, is there any need to lie to yourself?

"Really," Harry said, trying not to show his smugness, "Professor Snape taught me some special little tricks that are very useful."

"Don't say I don't take care of you. Come on, let me tell you."

Although he was a little skeptical, Malfoy carefully memorized the techniques Harry shared and tried to integrate them into his own brain-blocking technique.

These skills didn't sound difficult. If Harry could do it, then I could certainly do it too. Although I was a little slower than Harry, I didn't lose too badly.

After a week of hard training, Malfoy came to the small Occlumency training class provided by Sebastian on Saturday night with full confidence.

"Draco, there are still holes in your mental defenses."

Looking at the lost Malfoy, Sebastian smiled slightly: "I think you may need a little pressure. Let me ask you, why do you think I asked you to learn brain blocking?"

Looking at the professor's half-smile, Malfoy paused slightly, and a horrifying thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

"Professor..." He smiled awkwardly, "I'm not like Harry, I'm also on guard against the mysterious man."

"Smart!" Sebastian sat up straight and his tone became serious. "According to reliable information, the mysterious man will be resurrected during the summer vacation. There is a more than 90% chance that he will live in your house at that time."

"That is to say, you will have a holiday and live with the mysterious man every day."

Shocking!

Malfoy opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, and seemed to be stunned.

How to do?

Does dad know?

How should the Malfoy family get through this difficult time?

Should I clean the house before the mysterious person comes?

Which room should he stay in?

Malfoy's heart was completely confused, and all kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind, almost bursting his brain.

Harry was also shocked by the news. He didn't need to come to this special training class. He came here just out of concern for his good friend and wanted to witness his success. He never expected to hear such shocking news.

"Professor, can the Malfoy family come directly to us so that they can avoid the mysterious man?" Harry was a little anxious and began to rack his brains for ideas.

"It's a pity," Sebastian spread his hands, "The Malfoy family is too deeply involved with the You-Know-Who. Plus, they are now the richest and most powerful family among the extreme pure-blood families. The You-Know-Who will never let them go no matter what."

The Malfoy family is the mysterious man's money bag and a living signboard among the pure-blood families. The mysterious man needs this signboard to win people's hearts.

Therefore, in the original work, even though the mysterious man hated Lucius very much in the later period, he did not kill him.

You know, Lucius got into trouble one after another. First, he lost the notebook Horcrux, then he messed up the prophecy mission, and later he caught Harry and his two companions, and they escaped from Malfoy Manor.

This is only the Malfoy family. If it were an ordinary minion, the mysterious man would have already used the smooth combo of the Cruciatus Curse and the Deathly Curse.

If the mysterious man found out that the Malfoy family had turned against him, he would be so humiliated that he would most likely hunt them down personally.

To put it another way, even if he didn't do it himself, many of his subordinates would want to get rid of the Malfoy family in order to please the mysterious man.

In this case, unless the Malfoy family hides in Hogwarts and never goes out, they will have no way to survive. As for the family's various industries, there is no need to even think about it. It would be good enough if they could keep their lives.

Listening to Sebastian's analysis, Harry's heart sank slowly, and Malfoy's face turned pale, and in the end he was trembling all over.

The pressure has been put in place, and the next step is motivation. Of course, direct motivation is not very effective for Malfoy now, after all, he is almost scared to death, so Sebastian decided to use a little provocation to stimulate the boy's courage first.

He looked at Malfoy and asked gently, "Draco, will you betray Harry?"

Betray Harry?

Malfoy raised his head and looked at Sebastian in confusion, as if he had not heard the other party's question clearly.

Then, his face began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had been greatly insulted.

At this moment, Malfoy threw all his fears aside. He just wanted to prove that he was not a person who sold out his friends for fame and fortune.

"Professor, you can't say that to me. Harry and I are friends, and I swear on the honor of the Malfoy family that I will never betray him."

"I believe you," Sebastian nodded seriously, looking into Malfoy's eyes. "Then, for the sake of your friends and your parents, you should hurry up and practice your brain blocking skills. After all, your current level cannot be hidden from the You-Know-Who."

"Come on, Draco!" Harry patted him on the shoulder. "I believe in you, too. You can do it. Let me know if you need any help."

Encouraged by the professor and Harry, Malfoy's blood boiled. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said fiercely in his heart.

Isn't he just a mysterious man?

Look how I use the brain-blocking technique to play tricks on you!

"By the way," Sebastian's voice sounded, "I'll give you a task. After the third game, you two will find an opportunity to have a big fight and let everyone know that you two have broken up."

break?

why?

Harry and the other man turned their heads at the same time and looked at Sebastian with confusion on their faces.

"Because of the Warriors, you two have been too close over the past year. I'm worried that the mysterious man will make a fuss about this."

"So, you have to quarrel. The more intense the quarrel, the better. You have to make everyone believe that you are enemies and there is no possibility of reconciliation."

"War will come soon, and both of you are at the forefront, so you must be extra careful and not give the mysterious person any chance to take advantage of you."

"Of course," Sebastian pointed to the heart, "I know your friendship is precious, so I'm not asking you to break up completely. I just want you to temporarily keep this precious friendship in your heart until the day when the rain stops and the sky clears up, then you can take it out again."

this......

Malfoy and Harry looked at each other and fell silent.

In other words, the friendship between the two has begun to enter the countdown.

I feel so unwilling to accept this, as our friendship is so hard-earned.

After a long moment, Malfoy smiled carefreely and patted Harry on the shoulder.

"There's still nearly four months to go, so you'll have to give me some guidance, Harry!"
