Occlumency for dummies
A/N Again I don't own anything but my characters and storyline
Harry was sitting on his bed reading the book he got from tonks not believe wizards actually made an Occlumency book called 'Occlumency for dummies' but ignoring the title he decided it was worth and shot, just hoping it was better than Snapes mind rape
Chapter one – Introduction to Occlumency
Occlumency is a form of mind protection against Legilimency*
Occlumency is the form of blocking you mind from unwanted visitors by ether doing 1 of two things, some master Occlumens can use both ways to protect their mind. The first way is the easiest it is just to build a dome like structure using your thoughts around the brain. It is much stronger if built brick by brick or sheet by sheet rather than by bulk. The second form of protecting you mind is a landscape form in which you can hide your thoughts in things like books, leaves, etc. Also if you excel at doing this you can add real life things like people and animals to help guard your thoughts. But there has never been any record of anyone having magical creatures in there landscape. There has been speculation about Merlin being able to do it but no one has ever been able to prove it.
'Great' Harry thought 'knowing me I'll be able to put magical creatures on my landscape if I can do it'
Chapter 2 – how to get started with the first method
First step is to clear your mind
'great' harry thought 'that bastard was actually teaching it right'
Think of one object that has no distracting things in it like a flat land of grass or a wooden floor something along the lines of that, some people use a burning candle in the middle of darkness but that could cause some distractions like 'oh what if the flame goes out' or 'I wonder what would happen if it burnt out'
Harry immediately thought of a flat bed of grass determined not to think of anything else 'yes I must not think of anything else like a penguin' harry immediately groaned "out of everything in the world the one thing to break my concentration is a penguin" he asked himself in a quiet whisper. He tried to go back to concentrating but the bed of grass was too hard for him to concentrate on he kept thinking of the individual blades of grass and there colour, so he moved on to a wooden floor like the floor in his room. He sat there for what felt like five minutes before he looked up and noticed the sun was almost rising again 'wow I must have been sitting there for a few hours. I need to get into shape I can't keep this scrawny shape for the rest of my life now what did Vernon tell Dudley was a good way of getting into shape...' he thought mumbling different exercises under his breath until he called out "yes running" and Hedwig choose that moment to fly through the open window and right into the back of Harry's head "oww Hedwig what did you do that for?" Hedwig just gave him a look that said it all 'it was your fault dumb human.'
