12 Delving into the mind

—Order of the Pheonix meeting narrator pov-

In the meeting room of the Black family estate, the ambiance was quite awkward. Alastor Moody one of the most accomplished Aurors had a deep-seated scowl present on his face. His one eye patch was swiveling about as the rest of the Order waited for him to start.

"That little bastard got us!" He snarled

"Now Alastor calm down and just explain to us what happened," Dumbledore said sagely his words seemed to have little effect on Moody though

"Oh, I will tell you what happened that little shit cast an illusion spell of some sort to make clones of himself to distract us. Then he set up a wide effect anti Apparition ward to stall us even more, then the kid trapped us all in a labyrinth infested with summoned snakes! Who taught him thus Albus!" Moody roared in anger and embarrassment, being an Auror that has fought during Voldemort's first rise it was embarrassing losing to a kid

"I don't know Alastor and that's what concerns me," Dumbledore replied gravely his eyes dimming in thought

"Hahaha! That's my Godson!" Sirius roared in laughter receiving pointed glares from everyone

I have now started a new training regimen, it's quite simple really.

-breakfast

-library/ studying time

-Occlumency training

-lunch

-charms training

-dark spell training such as jinxes, hexes and curses

-Animagus training

-dinner

-planning for my next move

-sleep

Currently, I am building up my Occlumency shields, I have only been able to create a couple of shields mainly because I'm using Zylon Pbo fibers as the material for my shields, I learned in the book potter manor has about Occlumency shields that if you have a high understanding of an material, you can make your shields based off them, like diamonds and metals. Zylon PBO is one of the strongest fibers in the world, it can take high levels of stress and has excellent strength.

I know about Zylon because in my past life one of my buddies asked me to steal some, I thought it was stupid until he really explained to me what it was and how good it can be if used correctly.

I'm weaving the fibers into hexagonal shapes and adding them into a specific pattern like a honeycomb. Hexagons are commonly known as the strongest shape in the world so I thought that the strongest shape and strongest fiber would create an amazing shield for my mind.

After another two and a half hours of practice, I made another shield. Deciding to stop for today I started to practice my charms, the Potter library has some interesting new charms I have never heard of before. My favorites being,

Quaerō Indiculum- Summons a index, list, or catalogue to appear before the caster of all the contents of the room. This makes it easier when searching for something in particular.

Speculum- This allows the caster to spy on a target they know through a mirror and see their current activities.

Grandinis - It creates a small, localized hailstorm.

Caligo Eructo- This spell is used to create and control, a cloud of mist to cover the area.

Properō- To cause the target to hasten; to move rapidly.

[A/N: shoutout to Tumblr for these spells!]

These spells all are amazing and can have a wide variety of uses, I can use the mist spell as a wide range blinding spell, then use Properō to speed around and sling spells at my opponents, with my mage sight I can see magic so I will still be able to see my opponents while I am in the mist.

The dark spells I have been practicing are really vicious and most come from Snape himself, it makes one wonder why he didn't use them in the stories. Maybe because he was being used by two sides he never got the chance.

Some of the dark spells I have been learning are,

Rescindo Cicatricem- Causes the target's old wounds, particularly their scars to be forcefully tear opened or cut.

Suffoco - The target's airway will become block

causing them to choke as though they're being

strangle by invisible hands.

Permanens Infertilità- Causes the target to become permanently sterile; barren, unable to conceive children.

Mille Caedo- Causes the target to be inflicted with a thousand cuts on their body.

Flagellicorpus- When used on a target it will cause painful lashes to appear on their body as though they were flogged.

Diliramentum Lingua- Causes the target to speak gibberish, a speech that is nonsense.

Some of those spells are just straight up horrendous but I honestly think I should learn them, having that type of firepower will out the fear of God into people who dare to mess with me.

After practicing my charms, curses, jinxes, and hexes I practiced rapidly changing into my animagus form once more. The process is becoming smoother and faster, hard work pays off.

Seeing the time I figured I should be done for the night, so I went to have dinner, and while I ate planning my next move at the same time. I would like to branch off from just thievery but I'm not sure what I can do in the wizarding world I think I should look back and see if I find anything of use.

If not I will go to the muggle world and see what's going on.

As I was eating a corporal Patronus flew into my home and sent me a message from my dear Godfather.

'Hey, it's me again Harry. Um, I don't know how to start this but I just want to say congratulations on stealing the Claymore! Dumbledore and moody are upset about it well upset is a mild word, Moody wants to beat you to a pulp and Dumbledore wants to guide you back into the light. I say keep doing what you're doing and fuck with them. I know I can probably never earn your forgiveness but I do want to say I will keep sending you messages about what those fools are planning.'

Ah, that's actually really nice at least he's not begging for my forgiveness or acting like a total suck-up.

Ah, this is going to be a busy couple of weeks or months.

I have now fifty mind shields, but I want more. My spell casting Is coming along nicely.

[two weeks later]

I have one hundred and fifty shields, my mind is becoming clearer making shields easier to make. My spell casting is now phenomenal and my adaptability is good, too bad, I don't have a training partner. I would invite Sirius but I am too paranoid, living on the run in my past life was interesting and hard it made me paranoid and distrustful of others.

[two weeks later]

My mind shields are made and now I'm making my mindscape. The design is simple first if the person gets past my shields they are put in a cafe across from a museum, they have to sneak in and steal a painting that painting will 'lead' them to my memories and thoughts. But; what they don't know is there are muggle cameras all over the place, I mean everywhere they go and they will watch the people or person in my mind. Various scenarios will pop up to what they react to.

For example, there might be a clown in the cafe with them if they act unnerved or scared the clown will turn into pennywise.

I have scenarios for every horror movie I could think of. But, the real amazing part of the whole thing is my memories aren't there at all. The intruders would actually be on a big movie set and if they do manage to steal the painting instead of memories they will be thrown into a dark dark place with all of the monsters crawling about.

My memories are actually stored on the movie cameras you just have to look through the lenses.

I plan to revamp and improve my defenses over time but this is what I am trying to design now.

[3 weeks later]

I have finished my mindscape and my mind feels much clearer like a fog has been lifted. I can now do partial Animagus changes but only to my eyes and teeth, I haven't figured out how to just make scales appear on my skin as armor.

I figured out something super cool during my spell training, the snake movement technique I got from the shop can actually be used for spells.

I can dislocate bones and fire shots from weird angles and whip my arm around like a mad man making my spells unpredictable to even me. I call this form berserk and I will only ever use it if I'm in deep shit.

-9 weeks ago flashback Sirius pov ---

I could see the huge Basilisk Patronus make its way into my house, it dispelled leaving the message behind.

'Good continue watching them, I don't want to be caught. The Claymore was a close one. I'm going to be working hard so I won't be able to contact you, stay safe out there.' was his response

I will stay safe kiddo I will, I can see that Dumbledore is cutting me out of the meetings he is becoming distrustful because I support Harry, if I end up becoming kicked out of the Order Tonks will be my spy.

I need to start acting like the Lord of house Black. I don't give a shit about Voldemort I don't give a shit about Dumbledore. The only thing I give a shit about is my family.

I walked down the stairs of my house, every step I took made my heartbeat with unease. I am about to do something, something I haven't done for a while something I should have done.

I looked up at the glaring portrait, I faltered for a second but I quickly squashed my nervousness.

I slowly opened my mouth and said calmly and resolutely, "Mother we need to talk,"
