I do not in any way own that which is the wonderful world of Harry Potter or the world of Charmed. Those belong to J.K. Rowling and the WB. I am just having Fun with a place they created for us.

Chapter 20

Concentration, Proof, Not Alone

Halliwell Manor

Conservatory

"Harry come on you need to focus"

"I'm trying, I really am" Harry exclaimed "do you know how hard it is to do what your asking?

Leo just stood there looking at his son and sighed "I do, I remember when I first had to learn, it took some time but in the end I got it down to a tee"

"But you have been doing it for how long? Harry asked

"For a while, but hey you can kind of do it" Leo stated

"Being able to orb to who knows where when you get scared or startled is one thing but, being able to do it into another room is totally different" Harry stated as he began to remember back to when he first orbed which he did not know it at the time but, it would cause him to spend several hours of his day learning to do so.

Flashback

He; Harry had been in the kitchen with Piper who was trying to show him how to put in contacts. He had just been to the eye doctor, mainly due to the fact that his glasses kept coming off during his training and Piper was tired of having to stop so he could put them back on again.

While she and Harry were doing this neither one of them saw or heard Paige come into the room. Seeing this Paige decided to have some fun so, she crept up behind Harry and grabbed him at the waist and said "BOO" causing Harry to holler and orb out on the spot. When he had rematerialized Harry saw the mouths of his mom and aunt hanging open.

"What did you do that for?" he asked Paige "I could have poked out my eye"

"Harry, do you know what you just did?" Piper asked

"What are you talking about mom?" Harry asked looking to Piper

"You orbed" Paige exclaimed

"I did?" Harry asked as a dreamy look found its way onto his face "I don't remember doing it"

"Well you usually don't unless you actually go to another destination" Paige said

"Leo" Piper called out "I think he should be the one to help you with this"

"Uh and why can't I help to train Harry?" Paige asked with feigned hurt

"Because Leo has been feeling left out in his training and this will give him something to do, not to mention that since his son is also half- whitelighter it will give them something to bond over" Piper said matter of factly

Just then a swirl of blue orbs filled the kitchen "What do you need Piper?" Leo asked

"Well if I'm not going to be needed then I have some things I need to take care of" Paige said as she got up and made to leave the room.

"What was that about?" Leo asked turning to his wife.

Piper shrugged and turned to her husband and said "You will never guess what happened to Harry today"

"To be quite honest Piper I was in the middle of something and I need to get…; wait what happened to Harry" Leo said as he turned to look at his son.

"I orbed" Harry said with a smile on his face

"You did?" Leo started "So I'm guessing Paige is going to teach him then.

"Actually I was hoping you would be able to since Paige has been busy as of late with a lot of things" Piper replied

"Well then come on Harry, we have a lot of ground to make and not a lot of time to do it" Leo said as he led his son to the conservatory.

"Uh, Leo" Piper called to Leo's retreating back "I thought you were busy with some things that you needed to get done"

"Oh, it was nothing, this is however is something" Leo said turning back to his wife "and no interruptions, I mean it" Piper just shook her head and chuckled at her husbands comment. He needed this and she knew it. And who better than the man she married, who was also her whitelighter.

End Flashback

"It is just a matter of concentration" Leo started "you leave for school tomorrow and you have to be able to control this because if you can't then you will be orbing out anytime you get startled and that will turn into people asking questions, now close your eyes"

"What?" Harry asked

"Just close your eyes and do what I say" Leo said in a matter of fact tone. Harry nodded and closed his eyes for what seemed like the umpteenth time that day.

"Ok, now I want you to pick a place in this house" Leo waited a moment before asking "do you have one?" at seeing Harry nod his head he continued "now I want you to clear your mind of everything, and picture yourself standing in complete darkness no light anywhere"

Harry did what he was told he tried to clear his mind of everything. This was harder than it seemed; even when you didn't have someone yelling it at you. It took some time but when he finally did manage to do it, it was like his mind had opened up a batch of Peruvian Darkness powder.

Harry was beside himself that he had actually managed to clear his mind. He wanted to jump for joy and wanted to tell Leo. Leo however noticed a smile upon his son's face and guessed that he had accomplished his task.

"Ok, now I want you to think of the place that you picked earlier" Leo started "now as soon as you have that place I want you to imagine yourself in that room, look at your surroundings and I want you to note every detail of it. And as soon as you have done that I want you to will yourself to…" But Leo stopped because out of nowhere a swirl of blue lights engulfed Harry, and the next thing Leo knew and saw was the now empty seat where his son had sat.

Halliwell Manor

Chris's Nursery

Piper was currently in the middle of changing Chris when she saw a set blue lights appear. "Leo could you help me with Chris for a moment" she called out before the lights were able to take complete form.

"Um I can go ask him if you like" Harry said

"Harry, did you just orb in from another room?" Piper asked still a little surprised that Harry had orbed into the room.

"Yea, I was downstairs with dad going through a cram session on orbing and the next thing I know, I'm in here with you" Harry replied

"Well you better get back down there then" Piper said

Harry nodded and concentrated just like he did when he was downstairs and the next thing he saw was Leo looking at him. "I did it" Harry said

"Harry you have made progress but you weren't gone to long, you see when someone orbs from being startled or something, it takes a moment for the pieces to come together again" Leo said

"But I concentrated and I did it, I went to…" but he was cut off by Leo.

"Yes you did concentrate but like I said before you were gone about the same amount of time you would have been had you been startled"

"I will prove it to you" Harry said with a determined look on his face, and before Leo could say anything Harry had orbed out yet again.

As a father Leo admired the fact that Harry was certain that he had orbed someplace else, but because of these last couple of weeks Harry had made next to no progress, and put no real effort into it either, so as a teacher he had to be pessimistic. He was brought out of his musings as blue lights filled the room yet again.

"Harry you can't just…." But stopped at seeing that; while Harry had orbed out and then back in, he noted that the young boy was not alone.
