Severus had indeed sought more information about the phenomenon he witnessed between his godson and Miss Granger. In all of his years as a legilimens and practicing occlumens, Severus had never witnessed someone enter the mind of another with a simple touch. He had been baffled by the act. Until of course, he remembered something he’d read in a journal in the Malfoy library while researching on behalf of the Dark Lord. A text that suggested a bond existed beyond that which had been noted in publicly accessible historical documents. A bond so precarious that it utterly defied nature. A bond, that when strong enough and both parties consented– consciously or subconsciously– allowed either party to enter the mind of the other without the use of legilimency.
