Gemini Myths POV

I looked up at Dumbledore and couldn't help but feel like an absolute piece of shit. Here he is helping me with all of my problems, talking me through how to handle my emotions, calming me down when I get angry during these training sessions and yet I know he's going to be murdered soon.

I know that he knows he's going to be murdered soon.

He knows everything, but it doesn't make it any easier.

"You're not focusing." My father said through gritted teeth, his patience low today.

I shook my head to try and bring myself back to the real world. "Sorry I'm just tired."

"We're all tired Gemini, push through it and focus." My father spoke sternly, rubbing his temples in irritation.

I didn't say anything back as I shifted my feet awkwardly, not caring to snap back at him. "Okay let's try again."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then stared at the coin in front of me, focusing all my energy on this coin and my satan power.

Telekinesis.

The coin wouldn't budge. Nothing was happening.

"Why won't you focus Gemini!" My father yelled.

"Because I'm scared!" I yelled back, not even realizing what I said.

Dumbledore looked at me calmly as he walked towards me and cupped my hands in his.

"Of what Gemini?" Dumbledore asked as he looked me straight in the face, a small reassuring smile on his face.

I shook my head as I felt my hands tremble. "That it will come back if I use its powers."

Dumbledore clicked his tongue as he stepped back to give me a bit of space. His face sad as he looked at me.

"I don't want it to come back." I mumbled as I sat down in the chair needing a break from all of this.

I heard my father sigh in the corner and I couldn't tell if it was from annoyance or guilt or maybe a mix of both. The book never mentioned what happens when I'm not in devil form and I use my powers and I'm scared of the unknown.

"It won't come back Gemini." My Father said his voice a bit softer than a few seconds ago.

I shook my head again as I stared into my lap. "You don't know that."

"Your mother didn't go all devil mode when she used her powers outside of it." My father explained his eyebrows raised in thought.

I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes. "Well the devil only wanted half of her not all of her."

"Severus...this is hard work, it's going to take time." Dumbledore explained calmly.

How is he always calm? I swear I've never seen him stress.

My father took a deep breath and looked over at me, his eyes soft again.

"It's almost time for class, we should go." My father said.

"Thank you Dumbledore." I said with a small smile as I stood up and grabbed my bag.

"You can't be scared forever." My father lectured as we hiked down the stairs.

I kept my back to him as I walked down the stairs, not wanting to look at him with my cold eyes. "You don't understand."

"Then help me understand Gem." My father spoke softly as we started nearing his classroom.

I turned to look at him, my eyes boring into his in deep understanding. "It's a war inside my head dad. Fight the evil with my evil or fight the evil with my good just like everyone else does. The last time I tried to fight the evil with my evil...I joined the evil."
