"Well, Potter, you know why you are here." he said. "The Headmaster has asked me to teach you Occlumency. I can only hope that you prove more adept at it than at Potions."
"Right." said Harry tersely.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
- Occlumency
Just wanted to give expressions a try.
P.S. Did you know what Snape teaches as Occlumency is the core concept of Eastern Mysticism? What Snape assigns Harry to do every night - i.e. to make his mind blank and to empty it of thoughts and emotions - is what is tried to be achieved at meditation sessions. It takes a long time, and not anybody can do that, but once a person manages to empty his mind, he gains "enlightenment".
Hmm, I wonder if Snape and the Wizarding World were familiar with old Eastern mystic schools.
Thank you! ^^ That's one of my favorite parts too, and this fanart of mine isn't doing any justice to that part of the book. I may draw another fanart of the same scene but including more details; details such as Snape's office. I hope I'm not going to get lazy about it.
