Goodness, she didn't know just which made her happier! All the amazing and CREATIVE ideas being tossed around or the fact that she JUST found Sonya...running into the back wall repeatedly. Well, least the little bird wasn't getting into too much trouble.

"As a recap, I'm sure we can all agree that legilimency has a variety of understandings and key fundamentals that makes it so difficult to achieve. Having a clear mind, focus and intent, and confidence unlike you have ever produced with a spell is needed, and eye contact generally seems to be the best way for the legilimens to gain access to someone's mind. Once you can manage to achieve the spell, it's only a matter of time and building up your skill level to where you can dive into deeper thoughts and memories and deeper emotions that the person may have hidden away."

"What you can do with this kind of magic at the tips of your fingers is quite honestly why legilimency has such a shady reputation though. There is nothing but personal gain with this magic. Information is the main focus most of the time, however, if skilled enough, one can make a person's mind fall into ruins. Slowly. Make them see things. Make them hurt. Make them go crazy or perhaps...detach their mind altogether." Fiddling with her fingers momentarily, Medea took a deep breath and smiiiiiled. "That is truly, terribly advanced magic though."

"Moving on, we touched on the subject of occlumency a few times. As I'm sure you've come to find out, occlumency is the act of preventing your mind from being accessed by the use of legilimency by magical means. When I say magical, I do not mean you need a wand and a spell. This magic is not something you can outwardly produce, so to speak. It's something you focus inside of yourself." Her hands were gesturing eveeerrryyyywhere, trying to make it easy for the students to understand. "Occlumency, in ways, is a bit harder to master than legilimency. It requires a great deal of will power and discipline with your mental and emotional state that is very difficult on it's own to describe. To pull it off flawlessly would be...a tremendous feat."

"We may not be doing practicing legilimency today, but I can let you practice a bit of occlumency. I have an activity set up that we can do towards the end of the lesson. You may not participate if you don't want to. That is entirely up to you. Before we get into that, does anyone know any other details on what occlumency is or how it is performed?"

Laura looked at the Professor, she was so confused now, wasn't it the Professor job to teach the class and not to confuse poor students because if it was she was failing badly. "Well then, eh they." Laura was struggling here. "Oh eh they would." Laura felt like being silly and trying to think of away out of this but she would she would behave.

Laura took a deep breath and tried her hardest to think of the answer, she decided that she would say it how she would do it. "Well if that was the case then I would say that they would somehow try and make the person too relaxed for their own good, so like if it was me I would try and make them so relaxed that they don't know what is going on." Laura thought that probably would work.

Laura then listed to the rest of what the Professor was saying and raised her hand. "That is where you have to try and stop your mind from being taken over, it's really hard because you have to clear your mind, so that there is nothing in there but as I said it's a really hard feat to achieve." Laura thought it was nearly impossible to do but it was.
