Chapter 54 Like a dream but not a dream

The method of practicing Occlumency is very simple, you just need to empty your mind. However, clearing your mind here does not mean thinking about nothing, but completely emptying your mind, abandoning all emotions, and entering an extremely rational state.

The simple training method does not mean that it is easy to learn. In fact, Occlumency is a very talent-demanding spell. People with no talent will not improve even if they practice it for ten years.

Newbies often confuse emptying their brains with being in a daze when they first practice. Such practice is useless and will only make people a moron.

Theoretically, as long as the brain can be completely emptied successfully, it means that the release of Occlumency is successful. But in fact, beginners can only enter this state by meditating in a quiet and comfortable state for a while, and they cannot move.

There is no doubt that this level of Occlumency cannot be used as a defense against the Legilimency Curse. Only the ability to enter Occlumency instantly under any circumstances can resist Legilimency.

Some masters of Occlumency can even carry out daily life in a closed-brain state, and Snape is one of the best.

Snape kept his brain closed all year round, even when he was teaching students. This can be seen from his cold and emotionless eyes.

Mike has always been a person who just does what he thinks. After he decided to practice Occlumency, he immediately started trying to empty his mind. However, he obviously also made the mistake that beginners often make, confusing emptying the mind with being in a daze.

So in the floral-scented air of Godric's Hollow, Mike gradually fell asleep on the sofa.

His consciousness slowly sank, and when Mike opened his eyes again, he found that he had once again arrived at the blue sea of ​​light.

The alarm bells were ringing in my mind. Last night's dream could still be explained by thinking about it day and night, but now that I had the same dream again, I couldn't explain it.

Subconsciously summoning his wand, he found that the wand holster that originally contained the wand hidden on his forearm was missing. Mike groped around on his body for a while and found that not only the wand holster, but also the dagger hidden in his waist and the greed pendant on his chest had disappeared. Now he was only wearing an extremely ordinary plain mage robe.

After taking two deep breaths to calm down, Mike began to observe his surroundings.

It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at Mike, he was startled.

Not far from him, the familiar dead tree stood quietly. But what was different from the last time was that this time there was only a petite raven on its branch.

The raven saw that Mike had discovered him, screamed, and flew towards Mike. Seeing this, Mike turned around and ran away without even thinking. He didn't want to experience the painful feeling of losing control of his magic power again.

However, two legs could not outrun the wings. Not long after Mike ran out, he felt his left shoulder sinking. He turned around and found that the raven had landed on his shoulder. At this moment, he was using the dark brown Pupils looked at Mike curiously.

Not sensing the raven's malice, Mike stretched out his right hand to grab it. But as soon as his hand came close, he was pecked hard by the raven. In pain, Mike quickly took his hand back and checked the injury on his hand, only to find that his hand was uninjured.

"quack!"

The unpleasant cry of a raven came to his ears. Mike looked towards the source of the sound and found that as the cry sounded, the surrounding scenery slowly began to change.

The surrounding light blue light began to dim quickly, and pieces of dark cyan bricks emerged. In just a moment, a room that Mike was very familiar with was formed.

"This is... the Ravenclaw lounge?" Mike couldn't believe it.

It should be night now, the surroundings were dark, and Mike relied on the faint moonlight to search carefully.

The statue of Ms. Ravenclaw is still erected in the lounge, and the bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books. The full-length mirror that the senior sisters placed in the lounge because of their beauty is also still there. This is indeed the place. That's right, the Ravenclaw common room.

Mike walked to the full-length mirror and looked in the mirror, but was surprised to find that the mirror was empty and there was no figure of himself at all.

There was a sound in the ear, and the raven standing on Mike's left shoulder gave Mike a hard slap with its wings.

Which one can endure it?

The angry Mike decided that he must give this broken bird a taste of the pain today. He turned around and found that the raven was pointing in the direction of the dormitory with its wings, clearly trying to get Mike to look there.

Looking in the direction pointed by the raven, he saw a girl sneaking out of the dormitory like a thief.

Her face was shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and her face could not be seen clearly. Mike could only tell that she was a girl from her exquisite body curves.

The girl was wearing a Hogwarts school robe and a blue tie around her neck. Judging from her attire, she must be a Ravenclaw student. But her hand holding the wand was emitting a faint blue light. Upon closer inspection, there was a claw mark on the back of the girl's right hand, which was the source of the blue light.

As if she couldn't see Mike, she looked around furtively for a while and then walked to the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw as if there was no one around.

Mike's curiosity grew and he hurried forward to check.

The girl was seen facing the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, her hands raised to her chest and held together in a prayer gesture, while she was mumbling something.

"You are the breeze from the tranquil lakeside, you are the prophet who explores the truth, you are the most beautiful human being in the world, your stupid students hereby ask you to open the door to wisdom."

As the girl's voice became more and more fervent, the claw marks on the back of her hands began to emit a dazzling blue light, and a blue light door slowly opened on the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw.

The girl screamed excitedly when she saw Guangmen, and then quickly covered her mouth as if she was afraid of waking up her classmates.

Seeing the girl happily walking into the light door, Mike on the side was already stunned.

Although he didn't like reading miscellaneous books that couldn't help him improve his strength, he had still read the famous "Hogwarts: A History of the School".

It is clearly recorded in it that Ms. Ravenclaw came from the tranquil lakeside. Combined with the situation just now, the "you" in the girl's mouth obviously refers to Ms. Ravenclaw.

"So Ms. Ravenclaw is so pretty?" Mike murmured to himself.

However, I feel relieved when I think of the middle-of-the-road spell that Riddle recited when summoning the basilisk in the original book. Should we only allow Slytherin to be a middle schooler, and not Ravenclaw to be beautiful?

On Mike's shoulder, the raven showed a very human expression of helplessness after hearing Mike's muttering.
