"Don't tell me this isn't okay!"
Finally, when Snape asked him to rewrite again, Kyle gave in. He looked at Snape's mocking eyes, narrowed his eyes and said, "If you dare to ask me to rewrite again, I will Put the name Half-Blood Prince in the Daily Prophet!"
Snape was stunned for a moment. The schadenfreude on his face had not completely subsided before it instantly turned into rage.
"You're threatening me!"
"Aren't you playing tricks on me too?" Kyle said nonchalantly: "And I not only want to put that name on the newspaper, but also write it on the front page.
"It just so happens that there haven't been any major events in the magic world recently. A certain potions professor who has been famous for a long time gave himself such a majestic name when he was a student. I believe this topic will definitely interest many people."
"You...have no...evidence..." Snape said through gritted teeth.
"Do you think Rita Skeeter needs that?" Kyle said.
He noticed that Snape's hand was clenched in his cloak pocket, probably holding his wand.
But Kyle wasn't worried at all.
This was Hogwarts, and no matter how angry Snape was, there was no way he would attack him here.
Sure enough, Snape soon gasped, took out his hand, and pointed in the direction of the door.
"Get out!"
"I will, but not now." Kyle said, "Professor, I think you must have noticed that after three days of intense teaching, Harry is now a little unsteady on his feet."
Snape said nothing, of course he noticed.
His original idea was to use this high-intensity teaching method to squeeze Harry, leaving him with no time or mood to think about other things, which was also a disguised form of throwing away all emotions.
Clearly he failed.
Mainly because he didn't expect that Harry's Occlumency talent would be so poor. He had been learning it for several days, but he was still standing still, making no progress at all.
Snape's expression was uncertain, as if he was hesitating whether to continue.
Kyle did not urge him, but sat on a chair next to him and said, "Professor, through observations over the past few days, I found that Harry seems to be resisting learning Occlumency."
"Impossible." Snape said, "Occlumency can help him resist the Dark Lord from prying into his thoughts, so why should he resist."
"I don't know..." Kyle said, "Maybe it's because of Sirius."
"Black?" Snape frowned thoughtfully.
"It's just a guess." Kyle whispered.
Relying on the news he received in his dream, Harry let Dumbledore know in advance that someone in the Order of the Phoenix was in danger, and rescued Sirius in time.
This was probably why Harry resisted learning Occlumency.
If he didn't know Occlumency, he could still see Voldemort's thoughts, and maybe one day, he could save Sirius again.
Harry's thoughts were not wrong, but he ignored the most important point, that is, if Voldemort could see his thoughts, Sirius would not be the only one who would be in danger.
Moreover, Voldemort could completely create some illusion and let Harry see it deliberately. In this way, the actions of the entire Order of the Phoenix would be led astray, or even fall directly into the trap set by Voldemort in advance, with disastrous consequences.
Of course, Harry also knew this, it could only be said that he cared too much about Sirius.
Perhaps even Harry himself didn't realize that he was subconsciously resisting Occlumency.
But the most important thing about learning this technique is to be confident and believe that you can do it. This is the same as learning the Patronus Charm.
It is precisely because of Harry's almost instinctive resistance that his learning progress is so slow.
If this problem was not addressed, he would never even learn Occlumency.
After Kyle's reminder, Snape also thought of this.
"Emotional idiot." He cursed in a low voice, "And that Blake will only hold you back..."
"Professor!" Kyle suddenly asked after thinking for a moment: "It should be okay if Harry suffers a little."
"What do you mean?" Snape asked coldly.
"It's nothing, I just want to change Harry's teaching method, which is also the method I used when learning Occlumency." Kyle said, "Originally, I didn't think it was necessary, but now it seems that it is not a bad idea to try."
"What to do?" Snape asked.
In fact, he was also curious about how Kyle learned Occlumency before the third grade and used it so skillfully.
"First of all, I need to borrow something." Kyle said, "By the way, I also need Professor Dumbledore's signature. After all, what I want is quite dangerous. Without the principal's permission, it is unlikely that the other party will lend it to me. I."
"I have said before that the principal is not here," Snape said, "and he went far away and can't come back until school starts."
"That's okay..." Kyle took out the parchment and quill, wrote a short letter in a hurry, and then pushed it to Snape.
"What do you mean?" Snape asked coldly.
"Sign it. If Professor Dumbledore is not here, the dean can do it." Kyle explained: "I just need someone with enough weight to prove that I am borrowing it for serious business."
Snape picked up the letter and glanced at it.
Looking at the contents of the letter, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.
"Is this how you learned Occlumency?"
"Ah, that's right," Kyle said. "Although the process is painful, the effect is good, and more importantly, its Legilimency is safer."
"Are you sure this will help him learn Occlumency?"
"Not sure, but you have to give it a try." Kyle spread his hands, "Of course, if you have a better idea, you can pretend that I didn't say it."
Snape only hesitated for a moment, then picked up the quill and signed his name next to the [Agreeer] at the end of the parchment.
…Head of Slytherin, Severus Snape…
"That's it." Kyle picked up the parchment and read it again, and said quietly:
"Professor, give Harry a day off tomorrow. I'm afraid he won't have much rest time in the next week."
"I don't think it's necessary. Half a day is enough for him to rest." Snape smiled sinisterly, looking like a villain who did all kinds of evil.

Chapter 663 Snape’s special powers
Although it is not Dumbledore's signature, Snape's name is still very useful.
Five minutes before dinner started that day, Snape led a house elf to the Great Hall.
I don't know if it was because of being tortured for several days, but Harry seemed to have developed some kind of special sensing ability. He instinctively looked up at Snape almost as soon as he walked into the auditorium.
At the same time, he also saw the house elf next to him.
"More than?"
After Snape left, Harry shouted uncertainly.
He felt that this house elf was very similar to the Malfoy elf who tried every means to protect him in the second grade.
But he wasn't so sure.
Because at that time, the house elf was only wearing a dirty and torn tea towel, and now this... How should I put it, Harry had never seen such a well-dressed elf.
He wore a hand-knitted wide-brimmed hat on his head, which just covered his two big ears, and he was holding a brand new brown leather suitcase in his hand.
A set of jackets that are just the right size are clean and have a very new style. There are many pockets of different shapes on them. The material is very similar to the dragon keeper overalls worn by Charlie. It looks very strong at first glance.
There were also boots under his feet. Harry was not sure for a moment whether they were made of cowhide or dragonhide.
It doesn't look like cowhide, but it's a bit too exaggerated for a house elf to wear fire dragon leather boots.
In addition, they all looked almost the same, so it was normal for Harry to be unsure.
Until the house elf excitedly waved at him and screamed: "Mr. Harry Potter still remembers Dobby. Dobby is so happy."
"It's really you." Harry said in surprise: "But how come you are with Snape? Are you working for him?"
"No, Dobby works for Mr. Scamander," said the elf.
"Scamander?" Harry frowned. He always felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
"Yes, Mr. Scamander asked Dobby to come to Hogwarts to find Professor Snape, and Dobby came."
After hearing that it was related to Snape, Harry suddenly lost interest in this person and asked instead, "What do you want to do in Hogwarts?"
When he said this, Harry suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, and he couldn't tell why.
Maybe it was the things Dobby had done before... It was said that he wanted to protect him, but intercepting letters and blocking the station passages were really frustrating for him.
Harry was really afraid that Dobby would try to protect him again.
"Dobby is here to see Mr. Kyle." The elf then remembered his mission and quickly looked around.
At this time, Kyle just walked in from outside.
"Ah, Mr. Kyle." Dobby ran over quickly.
Seeing this, Harry breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, they weren't here to protect him.
But for some reason, that feeling of panic didn't disappear with Dobby's departure, but instead became more obvious.
"Maybe it's because I was attacked by Snape too many times..." Harry, who really couldn't think of the reason, could only console himself this way.
On the other side, Kyle looked at Dobby running over, also a little surprised.
"I thought Newt was coming."
"Mr. Scamander said it was not appropriate for him to be at Hogwarts right now, so he sent Dobby instead."
"No, it's the perfect time for him to come." Kyle muttered, a little disappointed.
But Dobby has come, so we can’t let him go back again...
"Forget it," Kyle said, "come with me."
He took Dobby to the empty common room and asked, "Have you brought anything?"
"Here." Dobby raised the suitcase in his hand, "Mr. Kyle, are you sure there is no one else here? Mr. Scamander said this cannot be seen by others, otherwise you will be expelled from school. of."
"Don't worry, everyone else has gone to the auditorium, we are the only two here now." Kyle said.
"That's good." Dobby then opened the box, revealing two sapphire-like eyes inside.
