The next day, John was eating some porridge in the Great Hall, not thinking about anything in particular, until Sam came hurrying up to the him, breathless with excitement and carrying a stack of parchment in his arms. He practically threw himself down next to John and pushed his hair out of his face.
John raised his eyebrows. 'What's going on, Sam?' he asked.
'Well, I had this idea,' Sam said. 'Professor Sprout said I need to challenge myself, and then Professor Flitwick said it might be good if I did a research project.'
'Okay.'
'Then I thought that I could maybe do it about Seers.'
John nodded. 'That's a tough one. There's not a lot about Seers in the library.'
'Right, and I thought about that,' Sam said enthusiastically. 'There needs to be more and it needs to be easily accessible. Gabriel told me that it took Cas hours to find anything, and that was just for healing. So I thought I'd start by compiling everything we already have and looking for any similarities or common problems. Then I can put it all together in one big collection, and hopefully it'll be useful for future Seers.'
'Sounds interesting,' said John. 'Why Seers though?'
'Well, Dean and I know this Seer. Her name's Pamela, and when we met her, she told Dean he would fall in love with someone with blue eyes, isn't that right, Dean?'
Dean was sitting opposite them. 'Shut up, Sam,' he said through a mouthful of sausage.
'Anyway, Pamela's super awesome, but she was having a vision one day and she saw something that made her go blind.'
John choked slightly on his porridge. 'Blind?'
'Yeah. We don't know what she saw, and she doesn't remember, but now her powers are weird. She can only hear her visions now, so she has to guess what's going on. Dean told me before that you nearly got lost in a prophetic trance too.'
John winced. He didn't remember anything at all from his trance in the Shrieking Shack. Only the dizzying feeling of being somewhere else, far away, and Sherlock's voice calling him back.
'I don't know if any of these things are preventable,' Sam continued, 'but I think Seers should at least know the risks so they can be prepared.'
'Wow, yeah, that would be helpful.'
'So I'm hoping that I can ask you some questions, if you don't mind? Since your powers are so strong, the side-effects are much more pronounced, so they'll be easier to document.'
John considered Sam's excited face and glanced uncertainly at Dean.
'Don't look at me, man,' he said.
'I don't know how much I can help, Sam. I'm not exactly good at it.'
'But that's exactly why you will be helpful,' Sam said eagerly. 'Most of what I can find is about fully realised Seers, and only from second-hand sources. Next to nothing is known about developing Seers, and I think it could be some of the most valuable information out there, especially for new Seers.'
John had to smile at his enthusiasm. 'All right, ask away.'
'Really? Awesome!' Sam dropped some of his parchment on the floor in his excitement, and grabbed a quill and some ink out of his bag. 'Okay,' he said. 'I only have a few questions for now, until I can talk to some other Seers. First of all, how often are you getting organic visions?'
