Order Only: Private message to Padfoot

As galling as it is to admit, Severus has a point about our occlumency defenses.

I'll be damned if I'm going to test them out by letting HIM root around in my head, though.

I think it might be easier to teach you the Animagus transformation. Except that you keep saying one animal transformation per month is enough.

But that time Bella was holding me prisoner, she couldn't pick up anything. All the times Minerva's been right there under the gaze of himself and she's never given anything away. I think there's truth to the old hags' tales that Animagi can't be Legilimised.

Doesn't help you or Tonks, though. Or the fact that our two Legilimens are both now back at bleeding Hogwarts.

I'm trying to remember what old hags say about werewolves and legilimency. Historically, anyone who's attempted to legilimise a werewolf under the full moon hasn't regretted it for very long, I think.

At any rate, you should see if you can teach Dora to transform. There's no downside to learning that trick, even aside from inherent occlumency abilities.

(Is Terry studying occlumency? Anyone evaluated his skills yet?)
