I wait patiently in an antique armchair, Professor Snape is going to use Legilimency on me.
Apparently he is going to teach me to build a resistance against Voldemort. I, unfortunately, couldn't get anyone else to do it, so that means Snape will undoubtedly see inside my mind.

I actually twiddle my thumbs in nervousness. That's when the door slams open. Snape and his stride still hold an air dramatic flair that I can't help but stare, intrigue.
"The dark lord has used Legilimency on many of his victims, in fact he took great pleasure in meddling in their minds, making them suffer until they beg for death." He said in a deep tone.

I gulp. "How delightful," I said sarcastically.  He doesn't yet turn around, but he responds.
"Yes, well I happened to be the only Professor to have as much power of Legilimency as the dark lord." He grabs a special wand for this process. Honestly I'm not ready. "Will this hurt?"

Snape turns to me. "Not unless the caster desires it so." He said sternly, my mouth goes agape.
I certainly hope he doesn't intend to cause pain. "I will have no choice, I must in any way prepare your mind, and  protect you from him." Well there goes the hope for this being a painless lesson.

He walks over to me, this is the first time I'm afraid of him. I start to shake a little.
"Do not show fear, he revels in it."
I nod. "I will do my best."
He face remains expressionless.
"The process of blocking such influences is called Occlumency, in these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind, please prepare your self."

He said please, I take a deep breath. I nod, for whatever comes, I'm as ready as I could ever be. Which is not much.
"Legilimency." He cast the spell, and my body couldn't move and my brain felt like it was fire. I tried to block his influence, but I gave up.

Soon the dearest or most painful memories laid before us. Cedric's death, my nightmares, the fight with the Basilisk, dementors, bullies, and Sirius Black.
I understand how people can be driven to insanity, reliving this agony is nearly unbearable. Do it enough and it will drive a person to yearn for death.
