Quotes from book

Mind Talking between Familiar/Bonded

Harry didn't know what to expect for the rest of the remaining summer. Cleaning became a habit, Kreacher helping Harry more with slight muttering insults toward the others, but apparently compared to how he was before, he was being an absolute angel now.

The meetings with the Order still seemed to occur but Harry noted a distinct lack of information from them, Dumbledore still led them, his father still fighting to get him included but with a slight air of defeat and anger with it. Molly Weasley being the most vocal about not including Harry with her husband backing her.

Somewhere in all this thought turned Harry standing in a deserted room, firing off some Scourgify around and then physically cleaning up more of the grim around. It was tiring, but also satisfying to see the before and after effect of their cleaning on the house.

Though with the lack of care Harry was showing some of the rooms for their dangerous items, the house warned him of most of them, especially as they seemed more toward books than actual items, Harry shouldn't have been surprised when he ran into a Boggart.

What had surprised him though, was the fact it wasn't a Dementor that came out. Instead, there was a creeping darkness that spread around the room, a feeling similar to the Dementor as if the air itself was sucking out his soul and starting to plague his mind of sorrows. But in front of him, was his father, on the ground, his ocean green eyes that are always bright and full of life now dull and a dark green as if the darkness in the ocean consumed them and took his life with it. His mouth slightly parted, as if words were about to leave his mouth as he died.

Harry thought it might've been when his actual father, James, might've looked like when he died without his wand, or his mother, Lily, as she died begging for his life. To see his father in such a state, unmoving, looking as if he might just be sleeping.

The only thing telling him otherwise was his unmoving form, his ADHD nowhere in sight, along with the gleam of life absent from his eyes.

So encaptured by the image in front of him, Harry didn't notice his father coming from behind him and warned him until it was too late. He distantly watched his father's eyes widen and step in front of Harry protectively.

The Boggart, with a new victim in front, started changing. The darkness preceding back toward itself as the image of a dead Percy Jackson changed. Instead, there was his grandma Sally, looking almost moresely toward the duo.

"You're going to be the reason I die, a walking bomb that is endangering our family the longer you stay with us. What kind of son endangers their family like that. Each moment you could kill us, could kill your son and your lover and yet you never leave. I think it's time to rectify that," The Fake-Sally said with an almost sorrow grin, as if she was finally at the last stage and was almost sorry for what she was about to say.

"I think it's best to never talk to us again, Estelle is still young, she'll forget about you. You've brought enough danger to us. You made me kill Gabe when you were twelve years old, pressured me into it and brought more attention to our family with your manhunt even again when you blew up Mount St. Helens and brought Kronos back. And when the war was done for, you left, for nine months driving your family and those closest to you insane. What did you do when you got your memories back? You didn't come home, instead, you went and nearly brought the apocalypse and dragged Annabeth into Tartarus because of your mistakes--"

Sally seemed like she was going to continue until the door behind the duo, Harry and Percy frozen in their spot from Sally talking, had seemingly burst open with a frenzied Remus behind it. His eyes seemed wide and panting slightly as if he ran from somewhere to here. He barely took in what was in front of him before pulling his wand out and stepping in front of the two.
