Occlumency.

          The next morning I woke up bright and early, my alarm clock on my desk showed me that it was 5:00 am too bad my father only unlocked my door at 6:00 am, because he wanted me to get more sleep,  that usually worked but or some reason I had awoken a little too early. So with nothing else to do I cracked open an old potion book of mine and got to work: 

                                                                            wolfsbane. 

The Wolfsbane Potion is innovative and complex that relieves but does not cure, the symptoms of. The main ingredient is (also referred to as or ). As such, this Potion is very dangerous when incorrectly concocted, since Aconite is a very substance. The way one must imbibe it is very unique among potions, in that a gobletful of wolfsbane potion must be taken for each day of a week preceding the full moon. 

     1, fill up a standard size 2 copper cauldron, with lukewarm water.

   2, let simmer for ten minutes,

  3,  powdered silver, add ten cups, wait one minute after every cup.

 4, two slivers of powdered moonstone,

5, a pinch of moonseed.

6, two cloves of dittany.

7,  seven Valarian roots.

8, stir clockwise twenty times.

9, moonlight, (let potion bath in the moonlight for one whole night.)

 your potion should be a dusty royal blue and slightly thick. 

I looked down at my cauldron and saw that it was exactly like it was supposed to, so I poured it into a vile and stoppered it up then I put it aside so I could set it in the yard tonight. It was now 6:55 am so I got dressed in my black pants and shirt and pulled my long black cloak over me it was always rather chilly at my house. 

At exactly 6:00 am the lock on my door clicked and I burst out to show my father the potion I had made, "father look! I made a Wolfsbane!" I cried bursting into the living room. 

"My dear, that's amazing!" he exclaimed, and I almost exploded with happiness, for you should know that praise doesn't come lightly in Spinners End.

After breakfast father took me into the living room which was dimly lit and the shelves were littered with books, I sat down on one chair and he sat across from me, "Now Estrella we are going to learn about Occulmency, Occlumency is the act of closing one's mind against. It is ancient and has existed since. It can prevent a Legilimens from accessing one's thoughts and feelings, or influencing them. A person who practises this art is known as an Occlumens, I am a Legilimens as well as and Occlumens, right now I will teach you Occlumency and later on you can learn Legilimency which is much harder. so what I will do is attempt to go into your mind and you will try to push me out it is best to think about locking all your memories away, now remember I am very good so don't feel discouraged."

I nodded and began focusing on closing away my memories and thoughts. 

"Legilimens!"

I felt someone in my mind and tried to push them out but no matter how hard I tried it didn't work. 

"That was pretty good for your first try Estrella, let's do it again" "Legilimens!"

we did this none stop for around four hours since we started at 7:00 am it was now 11:00 am and finally, I managed to push him out. As I felt someone in my mind I felt a power surge through me and pushed them out with all my might, I felt the invisible battle take on within my head and I fought back bravely, finally after what felt like forever I felt the intruder admit defeat and I triumphed. 

"Good job Estrella, let's do it again until you are used to it, and soon you won't even have to think about it," I could hear the glee and pride in his voice and even though I was so tired already I put on a brave face and continued. 

Seven hours later and I was about to drop off right away, but I had mastered Occlumency and father was looking very proud and I had ever seen him smile a little bit when I had blocked him without even thinking. 

At supper that night it was raining outside and pitch black, I looked out to see it was a full moon, perfect for my potion. So after placing my potion outside for the night I climbed into bed again and fell asleep.
