Isobel's eyes fell on the wrist that was caught, then she looked up at Albert, frowned and asked, "What else?"
"Sorry." Albert let go of Isobel's hand awkwardly and said honestly: "I want to learn Legilimency."
"I remember the agreement between us was: I will teach you the art of brain occlusion." Isobel was not in a hurry to leave after Albert let go.
"In fact, I have already taught you, and you have already learned the brain block technique, right?" Isobel stared at Albert and asked, "Or do you think the tuition is too expensive?"
"Okay, I admit that I was greedy. However, this is a rare opportunity, and I don't want to give up the chance to learn Legilimency. I can give you another Galleon, or..." Albert wanted to say that he owed you a favor. However, debts of favor are not popular in Europe, so he didn't say that.
"Or what?" Isobel asked curiously. After Albert mastered the brain block technique, she could no longer read Albert's thoughts.
To be honest, Isobel was extremely shocked that Albert was able to master the brain-blocking technique in such a short time.
"Maybe this is what is called genius!" As Isobel sighed, a ridiculous idea suddenly emerged in her mind.
"Huh?" Isobel's expression suddenly became strange. Could it be that this guy had already learned the brain-blocking technique in advance
Although this is not impossible, what is the other party's intention in doing this
Isobel couldn't help but think in some way, and the expression she looked at Albert became even weirder.
Although Albert is in the same grade as her sister Katrina, it is not difficult for her to see that the other's thinking and ideas are mature.
Some other ideas are not impossible.
"You want me to teach you Legilimency?" Isobel asked.
"Well, I have already mastered Occlumency, so learning Legilimency shouldn't be too difficult." Albert's expression suddenly became a little stiff. There was nothing he could do. The way Isobel looked at him just now was very... strange.
"January 13th, my birthday," Isobel agreed.
"January 13th? I see." Albert took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote down Isobel's birthday, and then prepared a birthday present for her as a reward for his Legilimency.
But... it turned out to be a birthday present.
When Albert put away his notebook, a possibility suddenly occurred to his mind. Could it be that... His expression also became very strange. He raised his head quietly and happened to meet Isobel's eyes.
The next second, the atmosphere around them became very awkward.
Not only Albert, but also Isobel, the expressions on their faces became obviously unnatural.
Hmm, as expected, misunderstanding... huh
Now, should I... Well, to be honest, Albert really didn't have any other special ideas, although Isobel did fit his aesthetic standards.
"Ahem!" Isobel coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere around them.
"You are right about one thing. Occlumency and Legilimency are actually interconnected." Isobel began to change the subject. "Now that you have learned Occlumency, it will be easier to learn Legilimency."
"Yeah." Albert responded casually, motioning the other party to continue. He was relieved now. It was really embarrassing just now.
Isobel began to recall the books she had read related to Legilimency, briefly summarized the contents, and began to explain to Albert the key knowledge of Legilimency and some of her own experiences.
In fact, Legilimency is a kind of advanced magic, and many wizards have never come into contact with Legilimency in their entire lives.
Of course, it has something to do with the Ministry of Magic deliberately hiding it. Some spells are deliberately monopolized, and if you don’t look for them specifically, you don’t even know they exist.
Albert actually knew the reason. If everyone learned Legilimency, the entire magical world would probably be in chaos.
It's like if everyone carries a gun, they'll get shot if they're not careful.
After spending a long time explaining the key points, spells, and gestures, Isobel looked into Albert's eyes and said, "You only have one chance. Whether you succeed or not, the deal between us ends here."
"Well, okay!" Albert raised his wand happily and reminded: "Let's start, three, two, one, Legilimency!"
Albert used Legilimency on Isobel, and his mind was suddenly filled with a strange memory, which belonged to Isobel.
That's Isobel as a child with her sister Katrina...
Within a few seconds, Albert could feel Isobel's resistance to him. The scene in front of him was moving away from him. When his consciousness was completely squeezed out, Albert saw Isobel being held by a woman's hand. They were at the edge of a cemetery. Albert also saw Mog McDougal and Ronald Smith. But Ronald Smith's expression was strange? "
Albert suddenly opened his eyes and found that Isobel in front of him was breathing a little rapidly.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Isobel took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and said to Albert, “Okay, the agreement between us is over.”
"Well, it's over!" Albert nodded, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Isobel, "Thank you today, I have gained a lot. Maybe you can consider becoming a professor."
"I don't think all students are like you." Isobel stretched out her hand and shook hands with Albert, saying self-deprecatingly.
"Even if you praise me like this, I won't tell you how to delay your weakening." Albert pulled Isobel up from the cushion, smiled and winked at her, jokingly.
Isobel's face twitched slightly, and she looked away, not looking directly at Albert.
"This guy is so annoying!" Isobel muttered. She knew that the other party was going to try Legilimency on her.
After a moment, Albert muttered quietly: "Failed. It turns out that you still need to look the other person in the eye."
Albert's failure put Isobel in a better mood.
As both were wizards with great talents, even though Isobel thought she was not as good as Albert in some aspects, she actually didn't want there to be too much distance between them.
After the two of them left classroom 17 one after another, Albert thanked Isobel again.
"You've paid the tuition." Isobel didn't know how important it was for Albert to master Legilimency and Occlumency.
When the two separated at the fork entrance on the sixth floor, Albert suddenly asked: “By the way, I almost forgot to ask, is that thing useful?”
