I see you are using the fanon Occlumency-mindscape, and the fanon version of the Four-Point spell, which can do other things besides point north. Are these intentional? I only ask because I recall you saying you wanted to avoid or subvert Potter fanfic cliches, and those are some big ones, which you appear to be playing perfectly straight.

If Bob wants to avoid Potterverse clichés, he just has to 1). have Albus mentally remark upon Doug's 'mindscape' being a rare and seldom used Occlumency variant, and 2). mentally remark that being in a mindscape allows him a much greater degree of latitude in spellcasting than if he'd been in the real world. After all, the four corners spell wouldn't actually work properly in a mindscape because there is no true north within a mind, so Albus gets to choose some other landmark to target.
