01.14.2022
It was great to be back at camp, and after further deliberation, the gods allowed me to stay in London permitting that my father taught me vapor travel, which would've been so useful in the past but noooo let's just let Percy trek all over North America. I sighed as I sat back down in my bunk. Thinking back to all the fun I've had in this camp. I smiled, looking around one more time before dissolving myself.
"It's my house, you see-," I heard as I concentrated on absorbing my atoms back together.
I grunted and stumbled a bit,
"Well, that's new," Severus drawled causing me to smile up at him,
"I've been practicing," I said frowning down at my left hand, which seemed to be encased in a bubble of water, I shook it slightly and it splattered all over him, Harry, and Sirus,
"Obviously," Severus said unconvinced, "And where have you been?"
"Family politics," I smiled, going a little doe-eyed, "Wise Girl took me," Severus snorted,
"Well then, glad to see you in high spirits," Severus said before turning back to Harry, "I am here on Dumbledore's orders,"
"Aren't we all?" I asked leaning back, "What's this about anyways,"
"The headmaster has sent me to tell you, Potter, that it is his wish for you to study Occlumency this term,"
"Yeah, we know that, what's the point?" I asked
"How do you know that?" Severus asked and I looked over to him confused,
"I was the one who told Dumbledore he needed it, I've been coaching Harry on it a bit here and there, but he needs a real teacher," I explained and Severus' eyes narrowed at me,
"Perseus Jackson, did it ever occur to you who Dumbledore would ask to teach Harry Occlumency?" he asked taking a step towards me, I paused

"Er- no? Wait." My eyes widened as I released, "Woah Woah there, Sevy- let's be reasonable about this," I said hands raising in surrender, he growled and lunged at me, my eyes widened I disintegrated again, landing on my desk at Hogwarts, I sighed relaxing back. That was a close call. Now all I had to do was hid until the students got back, he couldn't kill me then... most likely.
That was what I thought until I realized, I'd promised to be at Harry's occlumency meeting. I groaned as I trudged down the halls to Severus' room
"-Muggles talk of 'mind reading'"
"Hey! Mind reading is pretty cool" I said walking into the classroom, lightening Harry's face up almost immediately,
"And what are you doing here?" Severus asked and I rolled my eyes,
"Don't be so protective Sevy, I promised Harry that I would be at his lessons so here I am," he glared slightly but seemed to relax more.
"Alright anyways, the mind is not a book, it is more-,"
"I don't think he knows Harry has a connection with him yet," causing Severus to raise his eyebrow,
"Harry's been able to toss him out three times already, he wouldn't allow Harry to do that if he was willingly trying to penetrate Harry's mind,"
"I see, well then let's get right into things, shall we? Stand and take you your wand, Potter," Severus said causing me to look at him concerned, I walked toward Severus,
"Hey Sevy, take it easy on him, nothing too personal, okay?" I whispered and Severus looked reluctantly nodded,
"Ready Legilimens!" Severus cried and I watched the two for a moment before Harry's wand let out a light, that raced for Severus. Harry started to fall to his knees but I reached out and stabilized him,

"Did you mean to produce a stinging hex?" Severus asked,
"No," Harry admitted bitterly and I looked between the two, letting Harry go to stand on his own,
"I thought not. You let me get in too far. You lost control." Severus said
"Did you see everything I saw?" Harry asked and Severus looked towards me,
"Yes Potter, that is the point of the spell," Harry gritted his teeth,
"Why don't you try it, Professor?" Harry asked turning towards me,
"I- I- what?" I asked, "You want me to go through your thoughts?"
"That wouldn't work," Severus drawled, but his eyes looked panicked, "It can't be someone you would willingly let into your head," Harry looked at me pleading and I sighed going down on one knee to be eye-level with the boy,
"Harry, think back to what I taught you, this is going to be intrusive and you might relive memories that you'd rather leave in the past, but you have to push him out." I said calmly as I could, "I know you don't like him, but I trust Severus with my life,"
"Well, for a first attempt that was not as poor as it might have been," Severus said drawing my attention as I grinned at him, "You managed to stop me eventually, though you wasted time and energy shouting. You must remain focused. Repel me with your brain and you will not need to resort to your wand," I turned to Harry, still grinning,
"Hear that? Sevy thinks you did amazing!" I said and his anger let way to confusion,
"He- what?" Harry asked,
"That's enough Percy, Potter, clear your mind, let go of all emotion," Severus instructed and I stood up,
"Just like we did Harry," I whispered, nodding towards Severus.
"Let's go again, on the count of three, one- two- three- Legilimens!" Severus flung the spell at Harry, and it was still for a second before Harry let out a scream, I pushed Severus back, breaking the connection and grabbing Harry.
"Focus on you breathing," I whispered, "It's okay Harry, your memories are your past," I looked towards Severus who nodded and put away his wand, "You're done for the day, get some rest tonight, Harry,"
Harry looked up at me then at Severus, before finally nodding and leaving. I shut the door behind him,
"How bad was it?" I asked him looking up at him, he was staring stubbornly down at his desk, frowning. I blew out a breath and rested my head against the door, with a soft 'thump', "That bad huh," I muttered before sighing and shaking my head, and pushing away from the door and collapsing in a seat across from Severus, absently playing with some water.
I remembered! Happy Friday everyone! I don't have too many announcements today, so just don't forget to add to your reading lists, vote, comment, and follow!

8 424Breaking Horizons: Book 1: Snared Origins
Many want to learn things from a story, while others only want fast-paced wonders. We are human and we like to dream, we are alive and we want to feel. Don’t wander outside before knowing the inside. Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here. The actual main character is a human, the raccoon is a pet for the novel. So it isn't a raccoon Isekai or reincarnation as a raccoon. I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only. I will not have a schedule. I left it on hiatus for a while, can't write two stories, too busy.
