[Javert bats an eyebrow at Phil's insistence about magazines--got some Playwitch in your cupboard, Phil?--but says nothing else on the matter. He isn't fooled, but he has nothing else to bank on than his inklings. And besides, if Phil does not take heed, all of his unsavory habits will be blown open by the students sooner or later. Javert is sure of that.]
I am unconvinced that all magical folk possess the Eye, [he drawls.] Why waste time forcing the matter to the whole class? I warn them, rather. I give them the minimum, they learn the methods and discover the lack of precision themselves. Then they must learn to recognize a decent Seer from a hack. It is my opinion that occlumency and legilimency falls under my umbrella. Defense against mind-readers is a critical skill, I think. For advanced students.
Legilimency, however! [He sips his water, bending closer to his conversation partner over the table with a tricky, icy smirk.] You know how dangerous it is! That is an ugly mess. I will not teach it outside of private tutelage. And only for specific purpose.
