Mastering the Mind Art 7

After completing his 6th test, which asked him to write some new tongue twisters in a different language, it finally gave him the 7th test.

'Tell me, champ. How did you feel through all the tests and what are your current thoughts about me and my wonderful creation?' It read and Harry thought of writing everything he was feeling in the book. But something stopped him.

Something told him what the book was asking was different from what is going on. He remembered how the book always talked about being intelligent and how Occlumency allows that. He thought of every test that was given to him.

The first was obviously for memory and recall testing, the second one is about observation, the third is about endurance and they went on.

There is some hidden reason for every test and the 5th one is about patience and self-control. The book is teaching him various great qualities.

Everything has its own merits in its education and practical uses. The observation quality helped him catch the snitch so many times and endurance helped him withstand a Basilisk bite in the same Chambers.

So Mr Dumb is not playing around with his useless tests. He is trying to teach the importance of hidden meanings and intentions.

Elated by this revelation, Harry started writing about all the hidden intentions and meanings every test had and after writing everything, the book closed.

Harry waited with bated breath and as soon as it opened, a golden magic light lit the room. A small gold layer formed around him and the book. Harry felt something break in his mind.

'Congratulations, dear Champion. You achieved mastery over Occlumency. I, Schpeel Dumb am very happy to announce your acceptance as my student.

You are first to not only find out about the 3 parts of the book and combine them but also pass my test with flying colours.

I'm breaking the binding you have till now and giving you free rein over the knowledge I spent my life in learning Occlumency, Legilimency and Animagus form.

I feared my creations would fall into the wrong hands and created this binding. This binding is a special contract that binds the finder.

It erases anyone's memories related to learning my books and they just feel nothing when they try to remember theory or anything from my books.

It also has an additional restriction that restricts the learner from talking about my books to any other humans. So my research and knowledge always stay secret like this.

I also had the intuition to add a self port keying option which allows the book and her sisters to port keys to the nearest magic rich area.

Now, all that abundant knowledge belongs to you, my dear champion. Use this knowledge wisely and have a healthy and long life.

Best Wishes,

Schpeel Dumb.'

Harry didn't feel the bond till and when he recollected all the instances he tried talking about the books to anyone, which are not many, he would skip the topic and talk about another one.

'Phew. Now I don't have that bind and I might have escaped from a memory wipe out,' thought an elated Harry. Though he didn't know he had such a limit on him, something nagged at the back of his mind and now he felt relieved of that feeling.

As his mind settled down, his test result came to his mind. 'Wait, now I'm a Master Occlumencs.' "I'm a Master Occlumencs!" Harry yelled to the heavens.

He called Mira and asked Dobby to bring breakfast to the Chamber and they both celebrated Harry mastering the mind art. After that, Mira started his training in Shapeshifting, though much progress is not made as Harry didn't complete his theory of the ability.

"I'll come back in a few days. Complete the theory, Harry. Once I come, we will see what to do and where to start," Mira said and Harry nodded.

"Kay. Will be waiting for good news. Also, I think it's time to test the first dream,"

"What! This soon? When is the match?"

"This weekend," said Harry and Mira nodded absentmindedly.

"Though I don't get any bad feeling, be careful, Harry. I know you want to test your theory, be sure to carry your wand," Mira suggested and Harry nodded.

"Sure thing. Bye," said Harry and she vanished in a green flash.

"Careful, huh. Should see how much that works," murmured Harry.

As he was about to go to his classes, he remembered that about the letter to Ted about Sirius's break into Hogwarts as he knew the Ministry will keep this under the rug. He remembered to write it soon.

And Cut.
