Thread: A Matter of Mind (HP)- Moon/Lounger

Despite Harry taking a while to get the hang of things, Nathaniel never once got impatient, never once frowned or looked angry or disappointed. If anything, he was rather enjoying being able to actually pass on knowledge rather than just take it all in for a change. And there was something about the almost childlike innocence Harry was displaying at times, the wonder of discovering magic all over again....it was a feeling that Nathaniel sometimes wished he could experience once more himself, though he certainly wouldn't go so far as to mess around with his memories in order to experience it. Still, perhaps this was an opportunity to help Harry further, to correct some of the mistakes he had made and stuck with over time....more specifically, the way he held his wand. Almost Harry, but here, try like this Nathaniel reached out, gently placing his hand on Harry's and carefully moving his fingers just a little. See....hold it like this. See how it feels more natural? Hold it like this and it feels more like a part of your body than just something you're holding As expected, results from simply using the branch were little to none, but the fact he could set the tip on fire showed that there was something happening there. At the very least, Harry's magic wasn't simply trapped within his body, it was getting out which was a very good sign. Excellent! That little outburst means your body is definitely healed. Your magic is starting to flow naturally again, even overflowing a little it seems. Don't worry though, that just means you're making progress. Maybe we can figure out what happened to your original wand, or figure a way to get you another one They'd certainly need to do something....but Diagon Alley was out....and it wasn't like Wizards had Internet shopping for wands....Nathaniel had always thought the magic community needed to get more with the times.....their stubbornness and refusal to move on with technology was going to seriously endanger their secrecy someday soon. When night came, Nathaniel just smiled and led Harry upstairs, helping him settle into the spare room and pointing out where he himself would be incase Harry needed anything. He wasn't surprised at how fast Harry fell asleep, that was probably the first time he'd been in a comfortable bed in days at the very least. Nathaniel watched him for a few moments, before slowly turning and heading to his own room, stripping down to his underwear to sleep as he always did and slipping under the covers, reading a book for a short while before drifting off. When he was awoken with a shake Nathaniel yawned, turning his head and blinking a few times to clear his eyes. Mmmm....? Harry? It wasn't exactly surprising that Harry had experienced a nightmare...it was most likely memories coming to the surface....memories of whatever had inflicted this terrible injuries....the mind was a strange thing when it was asleep. Of course you can Nathaniel shuffled closer to the wall in order to make room in the bed for Harry. It would be a bit of a squeeze, but there was at least enough room for both of them to sleep comfortably provided they didn't mind being rather....close. Make yourself comfortable k?
