Sentence #19

Harry failed at learning how to control his mind which his enemy filled with his evil mirth and malediction. Harry lumbered to Snape's office, overwrought at his inability to combat these negative thoughts through Snape's lessons. Snape, well-meaning at heart but slimy in person, attempted to foment Harry's urgency but tired him out out even more, leaving Harry in a state of utter lassitude. Angered at Snape's inability to placate Harry's concerns, Harry deemed Occlumency lessons onerous and a waste of time and he jettisoned them for good.
