It had been two weeks since they got back to school and Harry had been thinking about something. He was thinking about asking Dumbledore if he could teach him legilamency.

So after lunch he had a free period and decided to ask him now. Once he found the statue he said the password.

"Lemon drops."

When he got to Dumbledore's office he knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in."

So he opened the door and saw him at his desk.

"Hello Harry, what can I help you with?"

Harry looked at him for a second.

"I was just wondering if since you taught me occlumency you could teach me legilamency to?"

He smiled and nodded.

"Of course, you learned occlumency so why not learn legilamency to."

He smiled, "Thanks Professor."

"You're welcome Harry. Tuesday and Thursday sound good?"

He nodded and left.

After that he headed to the common room and grabbed his potions book. Then he headed to the dungeon.

He was working with Hermione today so she grabbed the ingredients and Harry found the page. It was dreamless potion today.

Snape was staring at him while he saw how careful he was doing.

"4 sprigs of lavender." Harry said.

So she measured the ingredient. Harry double checked the amount and said it was good. Three seconds later they heard an explosion on the table next to them. It was Seamus and Neville.

"Oops. One to many Valerian sprigs." Neville said.

"LONGBOTTOM! FINIGAN! You counted it wrong!" Snape snapped.

When everything was all set everyone went back to their they were done Snape looked around and was surprised to see how Harry and Hermione's potion looked.

"Impressive Potter, Granger. I'm a little surprised you got it right." he said.

After potions they had transfiguration.

Throughout the day it was busy. Class, homework, Room of Requirements with Harry. Finally they were done and having dinner.

"Man, that was quite the explosion in potions today." Dean said.

"Hey, give them a break, it's not their fault. You can't get everything done right." Harry said.

"How did you get so good at potions anyway?" Ron asked.

"I guess I just needed a good thing to help me focus. As for being picky on measurements, let's just say I know what a house elf feels like."

The next day was Thursday and Harry was going to Dumbledore's office later for legilamency. While they were busy during class Harry had a little trouble focusing on it today. He was having a little trouble fighting his scar and staying in his own head.

A few hours later he was up in Dumbledore's office.

"Alright Harry, legilamency is the opposite of occlumency. Me, Professor Snape and Voldemort are very good at it."

Harry nodded.

While they worked on that Ron and Hermione were talking to Neville. Harry hadn't told anyone about asking Dumbledore to teach him legilamency.

"I wonder what Harry's doing." Neville said.

"I don't know, he's not outside using his broom." said Ron.

"It's not a full moon until next week so he isn't with Sirius, Peter and Remus." Hermione said quietly.

No one still hadn't figured it out yet.

"What did you say?" Neville said.

"He's not writing to Sirius, Remus and Peter." she said.

"Maybe he's at Dumbledore's office for some reason?" Ron said.

"Did say he was going to see someone later after dinner."

"Maybe, but he finished his lessons months ago."

"You never know with him guys." Neville said shaking his head.

An hour later they saw him coming in. Neville had gone to do his homework so it was only the three of them.

"Where were you?" Hermione asked.

"I was with Dumbledore. I came up with the idea of learning legilamency since he taught me the opposite." he said.

"Ahh, not a bad idea." Ron said.

Hermione nodded in agreement. After telling his friends he sent Sirius, Remus and Peter he was working on it to.

Now it was Monday, the day they had their OWLS. They had finished history, divination, transfiguration, potion and now they were on their Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Just like any other test in his opinion it was pretty easy. Some of his teammates thought it was a little easier than others but still hard.

When they were done Harry, Ron and Hermione were outside.

"That Defense Against the Dark Arts was kinda hard. What do you think Speedy?" Ron asked.

"I have to agree with Howler about that." she said.

"Oh come on guys, it wasn't that hard." Harry said.

"Are you mental?!" Ron said.

"I don't think it was anyway. And I'm not mental!"

"Howler, everyone knows he's the best in our year at it." she said.

"I guess you're right." he said.

While he was on his charms his scar hurt and had trouble focusing on his test. But did the best of occlumency he could. When they were done the trio went and relaxed for a while.
