Giving them a big toothy grin, I continue to explain, "Occlumency is about rearranging your thoughts and memories so that they can become more efficient. Not only does this help with your memory, allow you to remember more vividly and recall more important information. It also helps with spellcasting. The proper incantations, movements, and applications come to you much easier." Noticing that both Daphne and Astoria were about to butt in, I added, "I’m aware I cheat with my gift and have absolutely no issues with memory. These words are directly from Merlin when he explained them to me."
