1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I had led a pretty dull life back on earth. I was just your average everyday high school student. I did have my own problems and difficulties, but it was never something to cry over.

I use to go to school just so that I could get my high school diploma and I was an average student when it came to school. It was not that I was not smart, heck my IQ was at 127 when my dad made me take it. It was just that school did not grab my attention.

Now that I think about it right now, that is how my life was, boring! And with nothing to grab my attention. All I did was go through the process of living until I died one day. Even that was not attention-grabbing! I did not die saving anyone, or to some evil plot, all that happened was that I passed away in my sleep one day.

Now here I am, in complete empty, silent darkness, and I cannot move or even feel my body at all for that matter. All I could do is just think as I drift along in this place of nothingness.

So, this is it, all it comes down to when you die is nothingness. Well dang, even the afterlife is boring as hell. Seriously, I would have been in high spirits for some trip into Hell because I am sure I did think about killing off my bitch of a step-mom, plenty of times.

I sighed to myself. I just wished my life was a bit more magical.

I guess all that is left to do is to go to rest, an eternal sleep. I say to myself as I started to drift off to sleep. Then all of a sudden, it seemed like my wish was denied since I was grabbed by a gigantic flaming hand that appeared out of nowhere and it throws me far, far, away.

I woke up again to a blinding light. This time I could sure as hell feel my body, since I got smacked on the ass and let out a yelp of pain. I stared daggers at the person who slapped me across the ass.

"Congratulations Mrs Lovegood, it is a healthy boy!" The woman who smacked said, as she handed me over to a beautiful woman with luxurious golden hair, and silver eyes that would twinkle in the light, if you looked at them closely. She seemed to be very pale and sickly. But all the same, she smiled brightly as she held me in her arms.

"Thank you, healer," the woman who seems to be my mother replied.

"I shall get you some potions, deary. So that you will be able to move about. Oh, should I let your husband in? He seems to be pacing around nervously outside." the healer asks my mother.

"Yes, please let him in, and thank you again." My mother said, and the healer ran along.

A man stepped inside after the healer left, who had shoulder-length dirty blond hair and looked to be slightly cross-eyed. He was dressed in a caramel colored suit, with a funny colored suit tissue folding.

"Xenophilius come. See our son!" My mother said to the man, who must be my father. He quickly comes over to the bed, and my mother hands me over to him.

My father looks at me, and you can feel the happiness oozing off of him.

"Okay give him back to me," my mother says immediately to my father.

"But I barely held him," my father complained to her.

"Hem, are you fighting with me, for my son?" My mother asks him with her eyebrows raised.

"No, no... here you go," my father says shakily.

That got a good laugh out of me, and my father looks at me like I throw away all his face away. My mother also laughed, and my father gives me back to my mother.

My mother brings me closer to her chest and looks lovely at me with a bright smile on her tired face.

It feels nice to have parents who love me, in my past life I had a nasty step-mom and a foolish old man for a father, who didn't even give me a moment out of his life.

"You have the same eyes as your mammy, huh? They look like that they are fullied with intelligence and so clear just like the bright blue sky. Muh, you know what! That is what I am going to name you, Caelum. It means sky in Latin," my mother said.

"Good naming my dear," my father said from the side lines.

My mother says, "Of course it is, and I will be naming all the other children we have."

My father vigorously nods his head. I see now who is in charge of the house.

At that moment the healer comes back in with some flasks with different colored liquid inside.

"Here you go dear, just drink these and you can rest, and tomorrow you shall be released." The healer said that all in a breeze, she gives my mother the potions to drink.

"I should run along, I need to get back to work on the Quibbler. I will pick up the both of you tomorrow morning, how does that sound dear?" My father asks.

"Yes, run along honey. I shall see you tomorrow," my mother said sleepily as her eyes started to drop.

My father headed out, then the healer took me away from my now sleeping mother and put me into a crib right next to her. The healer made sure to leave silently and closes the door, leaving me alone to my thoughts.

I cannot believe it, I am in the harry potter universe, but how? Was it because I wished my life was magical and that being sent to this universe. But how could I end up in a fictional world of a book? Is the Multiverse theory true or is this just an illusion? You know what, fuck that, here I am, part of the wizarding world. Why the hell am I thinking about stupid things, I get to studying magic! Finally, I can have a life that is not BORING!

And forget my past life, it was shitty as hell, and there was no one I cared about in it. So I am now CAELUM LOVEGOOD!

But first, before I shake up this world up, let's go to sleep.

For the first time ever, Dus... no Caelum felt alive.

I woke up feeling like I would fly away from whoever was holding me.

I looked around where I was, I was being held by my mother in seats that are apparently not bolted.

"We have arrived at Ottery St Catchpole," said the conductor at the front. My parents quickly got up from their seat, and they seem to run off the bus. That is when I knew we were on the knight bus, I have no idea how somebody did not die on this bus yet.

"Have a good day Mr. and Mrs. Lovegood and be careful of those death eaters." says the conductor, my parents are already rushing down the steps of the bus and do not reply back to him.

After we get off the knight bus, it zoomed away. "I told you we should have done side-along-apparition instead of taking that damnable bus." My father said as he looked off into the distance of where the bus went.

"There is no way we are doing that I am not going to have my baby splinched." My mother said irritated, it seems like they already had this argument before.

My father waved his hands in surrender when he saw my mother's temper increasing. We walked home, I have to say it is a weird shaped home, but this is where I will be spending my life for now on. Our house is shaped like a rook, and it is hidden amongst the hills and surrounded by gardens with what I think are magical plants.

C 2

We entered into the house that I will be living in for the foreseeable future. My mother sat me down and fed me milk, changed my diapers, put me in my crib.

I have to say I did feel ashamed but having a new magical life over weights all the humiliation.

I stayed in my bed for quite the while and felt bored so then I tried to move myself, but my baby muscles and bone do not seem up to the task.

I sighed to myself, it seems like I am not going to get started on magic right away.

I think to myself, what can I do. Then I think about all those wuxia novels I read and the first thing you have to do on your cultivation journey is meditate.

I have to say I feel quite gleeful of my intellect and at that moment, reading all those books felt like it was not a waste of time.

I got comfortable in my blanket and closed my eyes, my goal is to first sense the magic in me and around me, then my second goal is to control the magic in me and around me, after that we will see what we can do after that.

I spent the next few weeks trying to clear my head and hoping I have a sudden epiphany and that I will be able to see the mana in me and in nature but clearing my mind for a few minutes is a real challenge!

So far, all I have to show for my efforts is that I have only been able to clear my mind for 40 minutes, then I would doze off to sleep, stupid baby body, that is the second challenge, I have to sleep for hours upon hours, so that means I cannot get much done.

Besides that, I had a pleasant surprise when Mrs. Weasley came to congratulate my mother for a successful delivery. I had totally forgotten we live near the Weasley family and I have to say I really did like Mrs. Weasley, when I was reading the books, she was how I secretly imagined my mom would have been like if she was alive, when I read the books as a kid.

We also had a few warlocks and witches, who have questionable sanity, come by to add to my father's newspaper.

A woman that looked like my mother but slightly older also came by and she and my mother had a heated argument at the doorsteps of our house, I really did wish that I could get out of my crib so that I can have catch what they were saying but alas the woman left and this baby body does not want to work.

My mother came back into the house and hastily closed all the locks we had at our door, my father came to her and comforted her the best he could, then she came to me and picked me out of my crib and held me tight to her chest.

My mother looked as if she was looking far away into the distance, then she spoke me, but it felt like she was convincing herself "Do not worry, mother is not going to allow them to take me from you."

My mother then fed me, changed my diapers, put me back in my crib leaving me to think to myself.

Who was that woman, she looked so similar to my mother, was she mother's sister? It seems there is a big mystery surrounding mother, in the books mother died to a spell backfiring, it looks like that there was more to it.

All in all, this is very worrying, and I do not want my new life to be ruined so I need to get stronger!

With new found conviction I throw myself into meditating and trying to sense the magic in me and around me.

Finally, after 3 months at it I can finally sense the magic in me and all around me!

I do not know how I did it, but I was carrying on meditating, wondering if this was all pointless but I decided to continue since I had nothing to do because I could not walk yet, and I had nothing much to do in my bed.

Then suddenly it was like I awakened an eye, a third eye, since I could see it.

Of course it not much, I can only see the magic 1 meter all around me but I finally came out with something.

It was really beautiful, that I cannot stop hanging my mouth wide open, staring wide eyes all around me and trying to absorb it all in.

I look deep into myself and I could see it, magic coursing in me.

I try to somehow grab it and I succeed but I let it go right away because I get hit with a sudden terrible headache.

Even with the terrible headache, I cannot help but feel gleeful, my stupid plan succeeded.

I try to calm down and review what is going on.

It seems like I awakened a third eye and I can see magic now, but that is nowhere in the books.

You know what fuck the books, I drink all that bullshit when I was a kid but when I read it again as a teenager, I had some serious questions like how could some kids defeat the greatest dark wizard of all time and how does a muggle-blood like Hermione know more about magic than pure-bloods like Draco who is from a noble family, like what the hell was he doing for 11 years, sitting around?

All I can trust in the books is the plot I know, but besides that I need to question everything else the books have to say about the wizarding world and magic.

Anyways what was that serious headache I got when I tried to grab the magic in my body?

I try the other approach and try to grab the magic in the environment but it seems not to listen to me so I grab it forcefully but it just slips away, I then grabbed it forcefully again, this time I tried to put into my body but I let it go right away because it felt like I was becoming very bloated and would blow up in a mess of blood and flesh any second if I did not let it go, I do not want to die this early into my new life.

This time I try to grab the magic in my body again since I had some success with it.

I grab the magic in my body and continue to grab more since I do not feel like I would die, I grab more and more trying to collect all of my magic in my body in one location. Then the terrible headache comes back, and I forced myself to continuously grab more magic until I passed out.

c 3

I woke up feeling like my mind was elevated, then I looked deep into myself with my third eye, yes that is what I am calling it, and magic was coursing in me just like before but this time I felt like I could control part of it and make it do what I want.

I play around with the magic that I can control so far, first I want to try a spell immediately, but I remember that I know none, so I play around with it in my body, then I notice that my body seems to absorb the magic I have control of and I am hit with a breath of fresh air and I feel so alive.

Interesting, I can use my magic to strengthen my body, mm.

After my body absorbs the rest of the magic I have control of, some magic from the environment comes trickling back into my body slowly.

I think to myself at that moment and gather up what I know so far.

The magic in the environment does not listen to my mental prowess, I think since it is not mine I cannot control it. I think that the magic must be in my body for it to be mine and so that it can be controlled, and I cannot stuff too much into my body or I will blow up.

So far, I have control over a part of my magic, I am going to make what I have control of until now a unit of measurement for myself, so far I have control of 1 unit of magic and I think I have 5 more units that I do not, let's make that my goal, get control of the rest of the magic in my body.

I spent the rest of the week feeling mentally elevated and with a splitting headache, it is really weird going from a high then to a low, but I am done, I now have control of all the magic in my body.

I was also able to make a discovery, every time I use up my magic I keep a little bit more in my body, it is not a full unit of magic, but it is progress and I can see my road to ruling the wizarding world becoming ever more closer, ha-ha.

My mother comes to my crib and picks me up, I smile and play with her, we continue this for a while me making baby gurgling sounds and my mother smiling and laughing happily.

After me play for a while, my mother feds me and lays me on the floor of the house and lets me crawl around, yes, I can crawl at 4 months, it seems like this is one of the perks of using magic to strengthen my body.

Finally, after spending months inside a crib I can taste freedom, I get a move on since I want to find every little secret in my new house but after crawling a few paces my mother grabs me and says to me "That is enough exercise my little man, back to your crib."

Feeling god smacked I am put back into my crib and my mother runs along before I can put in my protest.

I sigh to myself, there is not much I can do in my baby body.

I am three-years-old now, I was able to clear up a lot of stuff up. First, I now know where I fit in the timeline of the wizarding world, it was on Halloween when I was 2 years old that I heard my father shout happily that he-who-must-not-be-named was defeated by the Potter boy, so that makes me a year older than Harry Potter.

I also have a little sister who is over a year old, its Luna Lovegood. I always wanted a sibling in my past life and who better to have as a sibling than Luna, I really liked her character in the books, she my come across weird at first but once you get to know her, she is loveable, the most loveable side character in the harry potter serious in my view.

I have continued to carry out my so-called magic exercise, but ever since I got control of 10 units of magic it was like I meet a barrier and could not get another unit of magic in my body.

I have a nagging feeling that it's my understanding of magic that is holding me back since I know nothing of magic for far.

I decided that since I do not the classification for the levels of wizards and witches or I think they're just in aint one, I am going to make things easier for myself, and classify my magic, so level 1 is 1 unit to 10 units, 11 units of magic until the next barrier is level 2, and 0 units of magic will be level 0 I will assign that level for the muggles.

I am now able to start learning magic with my mother.

At one-year-old, I tried to sneak in books on magic from my mother study but I got caught red-handed and ever since then my mother has kept an eye out.

After no other solution, I cried my eyes out, I will have you know there was no other way. My mom was only able to calm me down after we agreed she will teach me all about magic theory when I am three-years-old.

Not a bad deal since Fred and George Weasley, who I hang out with, do not know anything about magic since their mother would not allow it.

c 4

I go into my mother's study room, and it is an amazing sight, there is all kinds of books on magic in my mother's study ranging from charm, potions, transfiguration, herbology, occlumency, legilimency, alchemy and even some books on the dark arts.

I sit down on a chair across from my mother who is sitting in front of a desk.

I cannot hold back myself and what to starting on magic right away, so I ask my mother "what are we going to start with?"

My mother smiles at me and she says, "We will meditate first!"

I whine "I want to do magic"

My mother holds her hands up to calm me down "This is the most important step in your magic training, you must awaken your third eye first, it allows you to see the natural energy around you and in you or you will be practically blind when it comes to practicing magic."

"I already did" I said with my nose up in the air

"WHAT, but how?" my mother asks

I already had an excuse ready for anybody who found out, especially for Dumbledore, but it stings to lie to my mother still it beats the alternative, my mother finding out of my past life.

"Ever since I was born I could see all those pretty lights in me and around me." I say innocently

My mother laughs happily and says to herself "My little baby is a genius, it took me 2 days to awaken my third eye, but he was born with it open already!"

I feel dazed, dang, I think I am trash when it comes to magic, I took over 3 months and my mother only took only 2 days.

"Okay now I will teach you how to get your natural energy under control." my mother says

"I already did." I say happily expecting to shock my mother again

But on the contrary my mother asks me slowly "How did you get your natural energy under control."

Feeling like I am about to get into trouble, I say "I just grabbed it"

My mother gets up from her chair and comes to me and touches me with one finger on the forehead, I suddenly feel a cold sensation slowly creep into my mind and then as suddenly as it came it left.

My mother looks at me and says, "You only came out with some mental strains, I have to say you are very lucky."

My mother hugs me and says, "Don't do that ever again, you could have shattered your mind and become a retard."

My mother lets me go and I keep my head down and say "I am sorry mom"

My mother sighs and says to me, "Magic can be amazing but at the same time very dangerous, you must make sure that you not only double check but triple check what you are going to do, okay?"

"Yes, anyways what was that cold sensation I felt?" I ask after I see that my berating is done

My mother laughs and explains to me "It is an advance form of legilimency I developed, unlike the legilimency that other use where you get to see random thoughts my legilimency lets you see a person whole life like a book."

Feeling as if my secret was found out I ask, "You saw my whole life?"

"No baby, that would shatter your mind, I just looked at your mental fortitude." my mother gets up "Okay wait here, I am going to get you a potion to heal the mental strains"

After a while my mother comes back with a flask and makes me drink it, then she sits back down at her chair and faces me

"Okay now tell me what else you have been up to or do I need to read your mind to make you spill all your past deeds?" my mother ask strictly

I spill everything that I did to my mother since I do not want anyone invading my mind, on a side note I really need learn occlumency, fast.

My mother looks both proud of me and angry "Let me explain the things you did, first, what you did when you let your body absorb the natural energy you got control of was called channeling, and I must say, I am proud of you for finding out of that, channeling gives you two benefits, first it allows you to have better magic resistance, meaning you can get hit with more spells until you go down, second it allows you to get use to natural energy so that you can put more into your body. That bloated feeling you had was because your body could not handle that much natural energy."

I ask my mother "Wait I thought that this natural energy stuff makes me stronger."

My mother smiles and says, "No, you are confusing natural energy with life energy, which you do not need to worry about since there is nobody who practice it on this realm."

I ask my mother " Can you explain these energies and how do you know things most people don't know about?"

"There are two different types of energies found everywhere, and in every realm, there is natural energy found all around us and only a select few can absorb it, control it, and make wonders with it. Then there is life energy found in all living things it is the stuff like as you said, make you stronger. I will not answer your other question because the more you know the more danger you will be in, if you ever want to help mother you must become a legendary wizard."

My mother looks at me and sighs then she says, "It is an impossible task since there is none in this realm and mother is also not there yet, but if you want to stand a chance to help my case you must become a legendary wizard or else there is not much you can do."

c 5

The mystery continues to build on, I take in all that my mother said and my mind spins, I have so many questions and so much I need to learn but my mother is right, if there is one law that is true where ever you go is that your strength decides all.

Anyways I first need to live through the rise of Voldemort and I need to realize my dream, ruling the wizarding world, it a new life why don't I have big aspiration.

As I come to that realization, my mother smiles and says, "It good that you were able to realize that, I know you are very smart and by hook or by crook you will reach great heights."

"Now then I can see you are very inpatient to start learning about magic but this is the final piece I have to say, I see that you were able to piece together some sort of power ranking system so let me clarify things for you. You are correct that muggles have 0 unit of natural energy, meaning that they are at level 0, then there is level 1 as you found out, they have from 1 unit of natural energy to 10 unit of natural energy. After that we have level 2 and level 3, the both of them including level 1 fall under the name, novice wizard and witches. Level 2 has 11 unit of natural energy to 25 unit of natural energy, then level 3 has 26 unit of natural energy to 50 unit of natural energy."

After my mother says all that I ask my burning question I had, "So mother where does a squib fall under?"

My mother raised an eyebrow then pinches my check and she says, "Good observation, a squib only has the little bit of natural energy that they are born with, but they are unable to absorb natural energy, so most of the time they would waste the little bit of natural energy that they have with on accidents of uncontrolled magic as kids."

I ask another question I had, "Mother why it is that I am stuck at 10 units of natural energy and that I am unable to absorb anymore natural energy?"

My mother says, "It is simple, you do not have enough understanding of magic to move on."

So my assumption was correct.

I could not hold myself back so I asked, "Can we start now?"

My mother laughs and says, "Yes"

My mother first teaches me how to gain control of my natural energy, it is slow but safe, I still cannot help but have shivers thinking about what would have happened if things went wrong.

"We will start with potions first, you will also learn herbology which includes not just harvesting the magical plants but how to raise them as well. You will also learn about magical creatures, I will be covering everything about them including their habitats, their weakness, and how to harvest them."

After my mother says all that she looks at me and asks if I have any questions.

I ask "What about spells and I want to learn occlumency"

My mother looks at my strictly and says, "What did I tell you about magic?"

I reply back "Magic can be amazing but at the same time very dangerous, you must make sure that you not only double check but triple check what you are going to do."

My mother nods her head and says, "It is good that you remembered what I said, you must not rush when it comes to magic but very tread carefully."

"If you do well in potions, herbology, and magical creatures, I will teach you spell theory on charms, transfiguration, and even the dark arts if I see that you are responsible."

I feel shocked because in the harry potter books the dark arts are a big taboo, so I ask, "Is aint the dark art forbidden and evil"

My mother laughs at me and says, "Only fools would think that, did you know that over 80% of all offensive and powerful fall under quote on quote the dark arts."

My mother sighs and says to me, "Magic is a force of nature, it is pure and free, it is the user's intentions that decides if his or her magic is evil, and anyways do you really want to fight with sticks while your enemy attacks you with a sharp sword?"

I lower my head and berate myself for my stupidity, in the near future I will be facing the greatest dark wizard of this century and I do not think I have the plot armor or the stupid luck of our heroes; Harry, Ron, and Hermione so I better relay on myself.

My mother continued on talking, "As I was saying potions, herbology, and magical creatures then spell theory on charms, transfiguration, and the dark arts, after that I will teach you occlumency and legilimency. At school you can practice real spells where they have a healer nearby, during the summers I will teach you runes, arithmancy, and my personal favorite and specialty, spell crafting."

My mother asks me if I have anymore questions on my eduction plan. I reply no since I am quite happy with what I will be learning.

"Good, we shall beging your studies tommorow so rest today." my mother tells me

I head out to leave my mother's study when my mother calls out to me and says, "Caelum, the topic of awakening the third eye and meditating stays between us, okay?"

I nod my head readitly, there is no way I am going to tell another soul, I fear even Dumbledore does not know about this stuff.

"Do not worry you can teach it to my grandchildrens and my daughter-in-law." my mother says laughinly

I reply back exasperatedly "Mother I am not getting married any time soon, I am 3 years old."

I leave my mother's study and ran along to meet Fred and George Weasley, to brag about how I get to start learning about magic.

c 6

I was in the outdoors playing some pranks on some unassuming muggles in the village with Fred and George Weasley.

I brag to them "You will not believe it, but my mother is starting to teach me some magic tomorrow."

Fred looks at me suspiciously and says, "What, no way, my mother did not even allow Bill to touch any books on magic and he has two years until he will be going to Hogwarts."

"I will be learning potions, herbology, and magical creatures, if I do well on those I will move on to spell theory on charms, and transfiguration," I say

Although Fred and George are my best mate, there is no way I am going to tell them or anyone for that matter that my mother is teaching me the dark arts, there is just too much mistrust against it and it is for good reasons, all dark lords that have raised up where masters at the dark arts.

"Wow, we need to have a good talk with our father, he might be able to convince our mother to teach us too, right Fred?" says George

"No way is mother going to let us learn anything, she is scared we will just end up in St. Mungo's," says Fred

"Yeah, you are right twin. Hey, why don't we learn from your mother, Caelum?" asks George

"My mother is going to ask your mother for permission first, do you think your mother will allow it, it is just potions and learning about some plants and creatures?"

"No mate, my mother is going to come up with a bunch of excuses like the cauldron could explode or you might make poison or something," says Fred sighting

At that moment we heard a yelp, we look out from our hiding place and see a Mr Weasley hanging upside down from a rope attached to a tree.

"Let me down boys," says Mr Weasley exasperatingly

We get a good laugh and untie the rope from the tree, Mr. Weasley falls to the ground, gets up, dust himself off, and says "Fred, George I came looking for you, it is getting late and your mother will get worried sick if you don't come back before it gets dark, let's get going."

Mr Weasley then looks at me and says, "Caelum, you should get back home too, before it gets dark."

I nod my head to Mr Weasley and say, "See you later Fred, George, I will tell you, all that I cover with my mother when I see you again." I ran along back home

Three years have gone by. All this time my mother has been drilling me in potions, herbology, and magical creatures. I thought that after a year I would have mastered everything there was, but my mother's collection is amazing, there are books from all over the world. I wonder how my mother got her hands on them, since most of the information, in my opinion, is not out there; like magical creatures, most people think are legends, ancient lost potion receipts, and mystical plants and trees.

I could not help myself so one day I asked my mother how she got her hands on all these books.

My mother replies "I stole them, you cannot believe most of these old wizarding families, they prefer to play plastics than to study and grow stronger, so they just let these books collect dust."

My mouth hangs open and I ask, "Don't these old wizarding families have powerful wards all around their houses?"

All I get for an answer is a smile.

Since then I put even more work into my studies since I want to be as powerful as my mother.

With ample books my studies have gone very well, I sucked in all the knowledge I come across like a sponge.

My mother even praised me by saying in these three years I covered what took her nearly a decade, I felt very smug about it and I guess my family noticed it. My mother knocked me down by a peg by telling me that her talents did not lay potions but spell crafting and that those who were very talented could have covered the same amount as I did.

My years at brewing potion have paid off, I can easily make all kinds of basic potions, a handful of different intermediate level potion, I am trying out some advance potions, and I looked over some potions that are one of a kind and I cannot wait to make some in the future. My mother was very happy with my progress and gave me a pile of galleons to buy rare ingredients, as I looked at all these galleons, I had a nagging feeling that my mother stole it from Gringotts bank.

My knowledge of magical creatures has grown a lot as well and I have learned many magical creatures' habitats, weaknesses, and what rare parts to look out for. What interested me the most were diaries of wizards and witches who travelled to remote parts of the world; like the Amazon rainforest, desolate islands on the Pacific, deep into the north and south poles, and many other places. Amazingly many of them believe that there are magical creatures that are beyond the XXXXX classification.

On my 5th birthday, I got a very special gift from my mother a suitcase with a space as big as an island. I used most of the land to plant my magical plants and trees, and my mother made me a cosy house inside the suitcase. The house has 3 floors, the basement, which I would use as a place to store ingredients and tool, I also have some cages for magical creatures I capture, what can I say I don't have much heart for creatures that would kill me. The first floor, I use it as a place to do my experiment and to entertain guest. The second floor, I use it to sleep there is I must.

c 7

Over the three years, many other people have made progress as well.

My father's newspaper, the Quibbler, has a lot more readers thanks to me.

Unlike the Daily Prophet which feels like a Corporate Overlord only after profit to the other wizards and witches. I instilled into my father to make the Quibbler feel like, to the wizards and witches that the Quibbler is a newspaper that is not controlled by powerful wizarding families or the Ministry, but that it is out there working to report the facts and cover what matters to everyday wizards and witches.

To bring in all those readers me and my father not only had to change how others view the Quibbler but do a lot of work on the materials that are published in the paper. We kept the wacky stories but put them in the back pages, we added a sport part mostly on quidditch, a business part mostly goblins from Gringotts bank add to this part, a politic part on the Ministry, a part on the latest shocking news, and finally our favorite section which is on the life and times of well-known wizards or witches.

My sister has grown up to be like my dad not as weird as the books since it took a lot of work on my part, but even so, she is very sweet, and I love her for who she is. I worry for her when she talks to those suspiciously crazy wizards and witches who come by our house to add to my father's newspaper. The good news is that she made a friend other than those crazy wizards and witches, Ginny Weasley, they get along pretty well.

There was one problem I ran into when it came to Luna, one day in the village I saw some muggle kids bullying Luna calling her names and whatnot, Ginny stood up for which improved my opinion of her greatly, the kids ran along after they saw some adults come along, as they left I made sure to memorize each and every ones face.

Those kids did not have a pleasant time for quite some time, I started out with catching them unaware and then making them drink potions that would give them the flu or stomach aches just, so they can remember my face and fear me. They did try to gang up on me but with the help of a few weak and vicious magical creatures, I broke their hopes of getting me, apart.

After a few times of that they learned to hide from me, but I have already moved on, I started putting some pastes on their clothes and anywhere their skin would touch, they started to get skin rash or pink eyes, and I did that, so they could start fearing their environment. They did try to tell their muggle parents, but I made sure that I hid my tracks and their muggle parents could not believe that a kid can just give sickness.

Next, I started to let them breathe in vapours unaware, now they know true despair since they started to get diarrhoea or headaches and they knew that they could not go to anyone or get me.

I was at home thinking about more punishments for those kids when my mother came up to me and said, "You can stop tormenting those kids, just make them apologize to Luna, I think that they have learned their lesson."

I tried my best to put an ignorant face and asked, "What kids are you talking about, mother?"

My mother rolls her eyes and says, "Those muggle parents may not believe it when their kids talk about giant monsters and being fed poisons but they would think that their kids are being bullied, so some of them came and complained to me."

I scowl and say, "Mother, those kids where bullying Luna and calling her weirdo and what not, they deserve what happens to them."

My mother nods her head and says, "You did a good job of getting those boys and I am proud of you for defending your sister, but you have to stop now while you are ahead."

My mother pauses then says, "Worst of all you could get caught. If you are going to do something dubious don't get caught, a quick way to be caught is to leave witnesses."

My mouth hangs open as I continue to listen to my mother, "You made your plan too long-winded, that now is very unprofessional, if I were in your shoes I would have made those kids breathe some vapours that give them nightmares and then when they are delirious I would speak a few quick words, as soon as that they would have come running to apologize to your sister. Let me tell you something Caelum, do you know the thing everyone fears? It is the unknown."

I think I feel cold sweat trickle down my back, I thought I was evil but no, my mother is a million times more evil than me, I hear my mother as she says, "If you kept on tormenting those kids for a long while, after they become adults they would have come with pitchforks and axes, but if you stop now they would think it is just childish fantasy when they grow up."

My mother pinches my cheeks and says, "Anyways you could use a bit of work but a good start."

I absently nod my head to everything my mother says, I also swear to myself that I shall learn my mother's devious. (author note: Can you teach this path to the great Dao)

My mother continues on "I think that you are ready to learn spell theories on charms, transfiguration, and the dark arts. You have shown that you can be vicious to your enemies and that you are protective of your loved ones, all characteristics needed to seek power but in the correct way so that you don't lose your humanity."

c 8

Four years have gone by and I stuck to one schedule over that time. When I wake up in the morning I would meditate and do my channelling exercise, although it does not make me stronger per say, it does provide me with a breath of fresh air and enough energy to stay awake for days.

In the morning my mother carries out her own studies and experiment, so I would read up on magical plants, magical creatures, and potions recipes, then I would experiment brewing new potions that are my very own creations.

In the afternoon I would spend time in the outdoors playing some pranks, talking about what I learn from my mother, and just hanging out with Fred and George Weasley.

I wanted to stay in my own suitcase and carry out my experiment, but my mother kicked me out, said I should spend some time outside, I guess she is right, it is not health being cooped up inside all day, so I chill with Fred and George Weasley.

Fred and George Weasley are very good friends, I have been hanging out with them for nearly a decade and I never get bored when I am with them. I loved their characters in the book and I have to say I fell the same in this world, they love to play jokes and pranks on others and they always never take it too far as to come out cruel, I guess Harry Potter said it well in the books, everyone needs a laugh and that what they do.

In the evening, I would study spell theories on charms, transfiguration, and the dark arts, and if I have any questions I would ask my mother. I wish I could test out my magic but one reminder from my mother cut that short, "If you try out magic, the ministry will notice you and you will not be able to go to Hogwarts." my mother tells me

That put a quick stop to me trying magic behind my mother's back, there is no way I will miss going to Hogwarts or the plot.

Before I go to sleep, I practice Occlumency with my mother, unlike the Occlumency shown in the books, where you have to clear your mind of everything, my mother taught me a different method.

"You will have to first gain access to your mindscape, to do that breath in and out then look deep into your mind." my mother says

I follow my mother's instructions and then as quickly as that I suddenly see it, a great flat plain big enough to fit a town, there is little ethereal spheres floating all over the plain, and covering the plain is a dome.

"I think I see it, it is a dome, some spheres, and a plain," I say to my mother

My mother nods her head and says to me, "Good, that plain is your mindscape, the dome is your mental barrier, and those spheres are your mental energy. Caelum, I know that you never did any magic yet, but do you know what it takes to do it?"

"Natural energy" I answer.

"What else?" my mother asks

"Is it those spheres, mental energy?" I reply back slowly

My mother nods her head and says, "Yes, wizards and witches focus on two things, natural energy which is the power source of our spells and mental energy which shapes our spells."

I nod my head, so that was the force at work when I was getting my natural energy under control.

"Now then what you are first going to do is make personas of the three things that make up your mind; your thought, your emotions, and your memories, there is also your subconscious but that will show itself naturally. After that, you will have to make something to guard your personas especially your memories. Start with something simple, over time you can make you defences better."

After I hear what my mother says I have a good idea what to do.

I make my thought take the form of a clone of me that repeat what I am thinking at that moment over and over, four clones of me come into existent. I make my emotions take the form of floating black and white masks with simple expressions, three masks come into existent like happy, thinking, and calm. For my memories I make them become books that can fly, ten of them appear.

For my defences, just like my mother said, I made it simple. I made a mansion is quite splendid with the four upper floors and two lower floors for a grand total of six floors. I placed it mansion in the middle of the plain, but it is not a mansion to live since has stairs that don't lead up but sideways, rooms with many walls or none at all, doors that pretend to be doors, walls that are doors, and so many ways to come in and out. I put my clones that are my thought, masks that are my emotions, and books that are my memories all into the mansion.

My mother asks me, "Did you finish?"

I nod my head and tell her what I made.

My mother says, "Good job, every day make sure you add more to your mindscape, every time you add more your mental control gets better, and don't worry your mindscape will increase in size once you get more powerful."

My mother also taught me legilimency, there are three ways to go about using legilimency.

First, you can invade somebodies mind like a hammer it is quick, but it can hurt your target.

You can go invade somebodies mind like throwing knives, you can find the weakness in somebody's mind and go in, it takes the average amount of time among the other ways.

You can also invade somebodies mind like the mist, it allows you to go in unsuspecting, but it takes a long time.

After learning Occlumency and Legilimency I feel mentally exhausted but before I hit the bed I do my meditation and do my channelling exercise.

c 9

I breathe in and out, I can feel it, today is the day I finally break through.

I continue doing my channelling exercise, my body absorb more and more natural energy until there is no more in my body, then suddenly as if there was a black hole in my body, natural energy comes rushing into me, I slowly gain control of them all and I notice I have 26 units of natural energy under control, I finally broke through level three.

I have snapped away from my glee as I hear my mother calling me to come down for breakfast.

I get off my bed and head downstairs.

In the kitchen, I see my mother making some pancakes, my sister is reading a potion book, and my father writing away for his newspaper, The Quibbler.

I sit down at the kitchen table and steal a bite of my sister's breakfast, she scowls at me and I laugh it off.

That reminds me of those kids that bullied my sister after my mother warned me I went to those kids and told them to apologise to my sister and the torment will stop. The ran over to my sister as soon as they could with tears of happiness in their eyes and showered her with apologies, ever since then none of the kids in the village even look at my sister funny.

I look at my father and ask him, "Hey, dad, why don't you hire somebody to help you with The Quibbler?"

My father's newspaper has been doing great these days, we have a few hundred subscribes much better than the few handfuls of wacky wizards and witches we use to only have.

Even with the redesign, we had only had only a few more people subscribing, I add some potion receipts that I redesigned so that you can save a lot of money on the ingredients and that helped a lot with the newspaper business.

People saw the potions receipts and spread it and we had waves of people buying our newspaper and thanks to the redesign of the newspaper, we were able to keep many folks, my father even had a bunch of letters telling him of how much they like our newspaper over the daily prophet.

I could have made a lot of money with those potion receipts, but I wanted to help my father, even though he may not show it, he wants this newspaper to spread wide and far, but the only audience he got was those wacky wizards and witches.

Even so, I got a widespread reputation out of publishing those potion receipts, since then many wizards and witches were calling me a genius some even calling me the second Dumbledore.

"It is fine, I can handle it." my father replies back

My mother comes to the kitchen table and hands me my breakfast, looks at my father and says, "He is right, you are overworking yourself."

My father sighs "I guess the both of you are right, I will look for some people."

I snicker to myself if my mother wishes something of my father, he always makes sure to follows it.

My mother sits down with her breakfast then she looks at me and says "I have a surprise for you this afternoon, I know you are saddened to see your friends going to Hogwarts after summer."

I sigh when my mother reminds me of that, a few days ago Fred and George Weasley got their letters, man how I wish I could go too.

"What is it?" I ask my mother.

"You will know in the afternoon." my mother replies back with a smile on her face.

Seeing that I will not be getting answers I finish my breakfast and head up to my room, then I go to my suitcase, open it, and go inside.

I carry out my potions experiments and do some reading after a while I see that it is 12 o'clock so I get out of my suitcase looking for my mother to see this surprise she has for me.

I go downstairs and see that my sister is gone, she must have left to play outside, my father is also not here, I remember that he said he will go put out some notice out in Diagon Alley.

I hear voices in the living room, so I head over there.

I walk inside the living room and see my mother talking with two older people, a man and a woman.

My mother notices me walking in, she gets up from her chair, walks over to me, and says to the two-elderly people "This is my son, Caelum. Caelum these two are Merlin and Morgana."

Before I could comprehend what, my mother said, the elderly man laughs and say, "We go by different names Pandora, it is Nicolas Flamel and Perenelle Flamel."

My mouth hangs open after I hear what they say.

As if my not noticing my shock, they continue on with their conversation.

"I did not know you changed your name." my mother says

Nicolas laughs "We changed our names a long time ago, it was just that as our overlords, we told you are real name."

My mother scowls "You know I do not view the both of you like that, you have helped me much when I came here."

Perenelle playfully smacks her husband hand and say, "He was just playing with you, anyways I see that your son is very talented, he could come to Beauxbatons we still have great pull there."

My mother shacks her head and says "He grew up here in the British wizarding community, he knows nothing of the French wizarding community. Anyways, I asked you both to come here because I wanted you to talk to the Head of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, for me, you guys know him, and I want you to put in a word for me."

Perenelle asks "And what would that be?"

My mother says, "I want him to start at Hogwarts early."

c 10

Perenelle looks at me and asks, "What do you say boy, are you ready to start at Hogwarts at ten years old?"

Still feeling shell-shocked from the information I just heard, I say "I.. y ou..How"

Nicolas laughs and says, "I think we broke the boy with the things we have spoken about."

Waking up from my shock, I ask the burning question I have, "How are the both of you alive for this long?"

My mother grabs my hand, sits me down, looks at me like she is trying to hold back her laughter, and says to me, "There is no reason to be shocked about these two pair of skeletons, they are alive for this long because their life and death are tied to this planet."

Feeling confused I say "What?"

Nicolas looks at me and says, "Do you know about the Fountain of Youth, kid?"

I nod my head, everyone knows about the Fountain of Youth and its mystical properties, while the muggles may take it as legend, wizards and witches on the other hand would easily believe about its existent, why not since ghosts and magical creatures walk among us.

Nicolas continues on "Me and my wife found it, just like the legends says it gave us eternal life, but how the fountain of youth did it was interesting, it tied us together with this planet, so as long as this planet remains we shall live."

No wonder they did not give two shits about the philosopher's stone destruction in the books, they were already immortal. It all makes sense now, I always thought it was weird how the Flamel couple took the news very easily, when they found out that their source of immortally was destroyed.

Perenelle looks at me and asks, "Enough about backstories, you still did not answer my question boy, do you want to start at Hogwarts this early?"

I nod my head eagerly, walking ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books. I for one am ready to start my journey, staying home and reading about magic is good and all, but it is time I try the real deal instead of reading about it all day.

My mother pitches up for me as well "Nicolas, Perenelle I can assure you he is more than ready to start at Hogwarts early, I taught him much and he will excel when he goes there."

At that moment somebody comes into the house and we see who it is as they walk into the living room and it turns out to be my sister.

My mother waves my sister over "Luna come over here and greet my good friends, Nicholas Flamel and Perenelle Flamel."

"Ow, she is very cute, do you plan to let her start at Hogwarts early, Pandora." asks Perenelle as she playfully pinches Luna cheeks

My mother shacks her head

I can understand the reason why, first it is because she will not be with her only friend, Ginny. Secondly, my sister, Luna, is not like me, my mother put me on a path to become a very powerful wizard like Dumbledore and Voldemort.

I asked my mother one day, why she did not teach Luna about how to open her third eye and what not.

My mother answered by saying, "There will be too much evil eyes upon her, people will be scheming how to use her or how to overthrow her, or one day she will have to make a touch call and Luna would not be able to handle all that, she is too good natured."

I know then it was a tough call my mother made and that my sister will not be joining whatever my mother has planned and I notice it saddens her.

To lighten the mood, I ask "Are you just saying I am evil and my sister is not?"

My mother laughs and replays "You sure do catch on fast."

After a while Nicholas and Perenelle leave and promise to talk to Dumbledore, so that I can be accepted to Hogwarts a year early.

"So that was the surprise you were talking about this morning?" I ask my mother

My mother nods her head and asks me, "How did you like it?"

I smile and reply "It is great I can start early."

Although my mother is a great teacher, it would be great to have second thoughts and I want to ask the professors so many questions; like I want to ask Professor McGonagall more about animagus, I have been reading a lot about animagus, what can I say it is the number one magic I want to master, because who does not want to look so epic turning into a cool animal and I feel like I can do it, but to be on the safe side I want to double check some points with Professor McGonagall since she has done it before. I want to talk to Hagrid about if he believes in the existence of level XXXXXX magical creatures. I want to talk to Professor Flitwick about dueling since he was Dueling Champion, reading about different dueling stances and doing it by yourself is quite hard unless you have some one to show you it.

The most important reason of all is that I want to start doing magic, although I doubt my mother when she told me the Ministry could find out if I did magic in our house, I just do not want to take any chances and miss out on all the plot that happens in Hogwarts and where else am I going to find my waifu.

POV Change

In the headmaster office, two elderly couples appear out from a blazing fire in the fireplace.

As it turns out the two old couple are the Flamel couple, Nicholas and Perenelle.

An old wizened man with a great beard turns around from his desk and faces the two-elderly couple.

The wizened old man is Albus Dumbledore, as most will know as is the greatest light wizard of the 20th century.

The old man gets up from his chair, walks over to the two-elderly couple, and says to them, "It is good to see the both of you, masters."

Among the two couple, the elder woman, Perenelle, goes up and greets the old man "It good to see you to, Albus."

Dumbledore asks, "What brings you here, masters, I thought you were relaxing at your home in France."

Nicholas shakes his head and says, "Are you still mad we did not join the Order of the Phoenix?"

Nicholas looks right at Dumbledore and continues, "Once you are as old as us, you will learn the best approach to some things is to let it run its course. The wizards and witches of this world have not improved at all for hundreds of years while the muggles made so much advances in their science and technology. There is a reason why these dark wizards are able to gain a mass following easily now a days, we need to change and people will look up to somebody to lead them in times of uncertianty."

Perenelle lightly touches her husband's sleve and looks at both old man and says, "Enough bickering, you are both teacher and student must you have this argument ever time, it has been going on since the rise of Grindelwald, I think it is time to put it to rest. Albus, dear we have today to talk to you about something, it aint that right Nicholas?"

Nicholas nods his head and says, "Yes, a friend of ours wanted to put in a word for them to you, she wants her son to be accepted early, she has taught him much and I believe he is ready to start at Hogwarts early."

Dumbledore nods his head and says, "If you think he can handle it, I will notify Professor McGonagall to send the child a accepts letter."

Dumbledore looks at the painting of past Headmaster and Headmistress and asks them, "I am the current Headmaster, so I do have the authority to accept a student to Hogwarts early, correct?"

The paintings nodded their head, then one of them speaks up "They were already a handful, now you want to accept one that smells like his mother's milk, well I am not the one who will be changing his diapers."

Another painting speaks up, "Why are you always shrinking and complaining about your duties, Phineas?"

Dumbledore ignores the portraits and asks his teacher, "Who is this child you want me to accept?"

Nicholas laughs and says, "You must have heard about this child, the second coming of Dumbledore."

Realization dawned on to Dumbledore then and he asks, "That lovegood boy, his name was Caelum if I remember correctly, I must say his potion recipes are truly fascinating."

POV Change

That morning as I came down for breakfast my mother handed me a letter saying it just came in and it is for me. I look at it and I see it has the seal of the four houses then I know it is my acceptance letter, I opened it as fast as I could and read what it said

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICK

I show my mother the acceptance letter that I received.

"Well calm down, we will get your supplies and your wand tomorrow."

At that moment my father and my sister come down stairs for breakfast, I show the both of them my acceptance letter, my sister takes it from me, I guess to stare in amazement.

My father laughs and says, "I guess the saying is true 'good news come in pairs' I have good news as well, I found a helper."

Me and my mother ask at the same time, "Who is it?"

My father laughs awkwardly "He is Remus Lupin"

My mother looks at my father with her brows crossed and says, "What are you hiding Xenomorph."

I can guess at that moment what it is that my father is trying to hide.

When my father sees that look from my mother he spills the beans "He is a werewolf, but dear you should know he is a good person."

I always felt sad about Lupin's case, he was bitten as a child without his consensus and he had to face discrimination for just being a victim.

I speak up, "Mom, it does not matter if the person father hired is a werewolf, it all about if he can get his job done, other than that you will just discriminating against him."

My mother shakes her head and says, "No dear I do not care if he is a werewolf as long as does not lose control."

I nod my head and say, "Well it is settled, are we going in the morning to get my supplies?"

"Yes" my mother replies.

c 12

The next day me and my mother made our way to the Leaky Cauldron, we hurriedly made our way to the back alley of the Leaky Cauldron, there were many families going in, whome I believe are the families that will be sending their kids of too Hogwarts, me and my mother follow the other families along into Diagon Alley.

I have to say walking around Diagon Alley is amazing and my mind was truly blown away, it is my first time here and I take in all the magical sights; I see wizards and witches wearing all sorts of different robes, shops with all kinds of magical trinkets, magical creatures that I have only read about and dreamed to see, and with all the magic going on it invigorates me to try it to.

The first thing we needed to start our shopping is money, my mother brought me to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. After entering the huge, grand bank, we went up to a goblin teller, my mother explained that she wanted to withdraw money from her bank, then a goblin popped out from back and took us down to the vaults on a speeding cart, which felt just like a rollercoaster.

We got to my mother's vault and the goblin opened it for us to go inside and I saw piles and piles coins which were not bronze Knuts, or silver Sickles, but golden Galleons, with this much money I am set for life even if I live lavishly I think to myself.

I look at my mother and ask, "How are you so rich mother?"

My mother smiles and replies back, "Didn't I tell you I am a spell crafter, well I sold a few spells to some noble wizarding families. Caelum do you know what every single wizarding family prizes the most? It is not magical artifacts, property, or money but secret spells left behind. Spell crafters are deeply appreciated where ever you go because spell crafting is terrible difficult, and it would be a miracle if you make a handful of spells in your life time with one or two being powerful. Anyways how did you think I gave you all those Galleons to buy your ingredients."

I fake cough to hide my awkwardness, no way I am going to mention that I thought my mother stole the Galleons from Gringotts Wizarding Bank, I think my mother would take away all my inheritance for thinking like that about her, but could I really be blamed for thinking like that of my mother, she is just to badass and powerful.

My mother grabs handfuls of Galleons and puts it into her purse and it seems to not get full with all that money that is put inside, so I guess that there is an extension charm on the purse.

We got back on to the cart, speed our way out of the underground vaults, and headed out of the bank, the first store we go to, is Flourish and Blotts, although there is already a copy of these books that I need for school in my mother's library, I still need my own copies of the books for Hogwarts.

Then my mother takes me to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to get my robes and winter cloak, I always did want to try wearing a robe and look epic with it, you may ask why I never did wear a robe since my family are wizards and witches, but we live in a village with muggles, so we needed to look muggle like and for that reason my parents never saw a reason to get me anything other than muggle clothing.

After that we made our way to Scribbulus Writing Instruments to get ink, quills, and parchments. We made our way to Potage's Cauldron Shop to get a good cauldron since that one I have is damaged a lot from my experiments.

Then we went to the Apothecary to get potion ingredients, I greeted the owner since this is our first-time meeting face to face, he was happy to see me, one of his best customer, me and him have been exchanging owls for a while now, since I need ingredients, the shop owner gave me a good discount since I told him I will be starting at Hogwarts soon, after me and my mother left the shop the owner had a deep look of regret that he ever offered me a discount, since I pretty much emptied his shop.

My mother took me to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour for a treat, while I was enjoying my delicacies strawberry and villain ice cream my mother asked me "What would you like for a pet, Caelum?"

"An owl" I immediately answered back, If I want my wizarding set up to be complete I need the bird that represents wisdom.

My mother smiles and says, "I know the perfect shop that has the best owls."

I finish up my ice cream and my mother takes me to Eeylops Owl Emporium, I at look all the owls in the shop and in the snowy owl section I run into an owl with snow white feathers and beautiful amber colored eyes, it is Hedwig. At that moment I know that I want this owl, I shrug my shoulder, I do not think Harry would mind if I take this owl for my pet, it is first come first serve. I tell my mother that I want this owl and my mother tells me that it is a good choice, I laugh to myself, of course it is this should have been the hero's pet.

We head out of the shop, finally it is time to get my wand.

c 13

I look at my mother and ask, "Are we going to Ollivanders now?"

My mother nods her head, "He is the only one that is barely passable in this place."

I accept it as it is, and what I do not know is that with all the time I spent with my mother my mindset has changed a lot, I stopped worshipping or revering powerful like Dumbledore and Voldemort and started to treat and think of them as my equal.

We enter the wand shop and Mr. Garrick Ollivander comes out from the back.

"Good afternoon Mr. Ollivander, I have come in today to get my wand." I say

"Yes, yes starting out at Hogwarts if I am to be correct, and what would be your name?" says Ollivander

"Caelum Lovegood" I answer back

The wand maker nods his head "Ah, the young genius of potions."

Then Ollivander looks that my mother and asks, "You did not get a wand from me, yes, I remember every wand that leaves my shop."

All my mother does is smile.

Ollivander moves on "If you would hold out the hand you primarily use, good."

I held out my right hand while the Ollivander's magical tape began measuring my hand and my body then Ollivander started bringing out different boxes and took out wands for me to try. I tried from one to another and Ollivander kept on bringing me different wands to try but all of them did not just click for me, yes, I could use them, but it kept on resisting me like it knows that I was not destined for it.

The pile of tried wands grow and grow, until Ollivander started muttering to himself and looked at me for a while.

"You are a tough customer Mr. Lovegood, it seems like I will have to bring out my rarer goods."

I tried all six rare wand Ollivander had, I even think Harry's future wand was in the mix.

"It seems like all my wands do not work for you Mr. Lovegood, hmm, it seems like I will have to make one for you."

At that moment my mother pitches in "It seems like you are done wasting our time and are ready to get to the real business."

"Whatever do you mean miss?" asks Ollivander

My mother scoffed "You know what I mean Ollivander, there is a big difference between a ready-made wand and a wand tailor made for you."

Ollivander nods his head "It seems like you know your wandlore"

"Yes, I do, I am willing to pay any amount of Gallons for you to make a good wand for my son so I do not want any riff raff materials but the best of the best, also use your families gift to see my son's affinity, and do not put that pesky ministry tracker in my son's wand, I am willing to put in extra Gallons for your trouble." my mother says

I laugh to myself, Ollivander must be shocked with all the orders my mother quickly fired of to him and I think I see his all-knowing persona slipping.

"Yes, yes, I shall see to that is all done miss, eh, I never really did catch your name if I am to be correct." says the wand maker

"It is Pandora Lovegood." my mother answers

Ollivander nods his head, turns to looks at me, stares at me for quite some time, and it felt like he is looking deep inside me.

"You have very interesting affinities boy, the stars and death. I have the perfect core for you, the handle, and the focus crystal could be easily covered, but I wonder what should be the material. That one has been sitting here for a while now, we could try that one." he runs off to the back of the store and comes back carrying a suit case of sorts.

Ollivander opens it and a beautiful piece of black colored metal with bright little lights coming in and out of exsistance is sitting right inside the suit case.

"This was found by my grandfather, he found it when he was travelling, and he came across this metal when he heard about something falling from the sky near a muggle village." he says

My mother speaks up and her eyes are glowing with delight, "It is perfect, use this to make my son's wand, I will make sure you are properly paid."

"It seems like Ms. Lovegood knows what this is." says Ollivander

My mother snorts, "Do not worry about that, how long will it take you to finish making the wand."

"nine days" answers the wand maker

My mother nods her head and leaves the store, I say my goodbyes to the wand maker and follow after my mother.

I catch up to my mother and ask, "Mom what was that metal?"

"It is called a starmetal, it comes from a star and on rare occasions a star would spit it out." my mother says

"What about that ministry tracker?"

My mother rolls her eyes, "How do you think the Ministry knows you kids do magic over the summer and how does it find out some people are up to dark magic."

"That makes sense, so Ollivander puts trackers in his wand for the Ministry?"

My mother nods her head, "It is the same for all wand makers, do you think any Ministry will let them operate if they didn't, but the wand makers hate the Ministry for making them do that, so they would not mind going behind the Ministry's back to remove a tracer for the right price."

"So, you where lying to me when you said the Ministry has a big machine that can notice any unauthorized and illegal magic?" I ask

My mother sighs, "Yes, and I did it for your own good, I did not want you to go behind my back and try some magic then get hurt badly."

I could understand why my mother did that and a part of me already know that the giant machine was bogus, but I could use this incident to blackmail my mother to get me some stuff I want.

c 14

Ten days later my mother brings me back to Ollivander's wand shop.

We go inside, and we are greeted by Ollivander standing at the counter look at the door, expecting somebody to come inside.

At the corner of my eyes, I catch my mother rolling her eyes.

I greet the wand maker and ask, "Is my wand ready?"

"Yes, it is ready, and I must say it is the finest work ever made in this shop's long history," says Ollivander as he gets out a box from under his counter.

Inside the box is a stunning wand that has a black metal shine with small little dots of lights flashing in and out, the handle of the wand is greyish white, and below the handle is a golden crystal as bright as the sun.

"The wand is 12 inches in length and it is neat, quick, and flexible. Firstly, we first have the mysterious metal that fell from the sky that makes up the body of the wand, then we have the handle which is made of elder wood, representing powerful magic and great destiny, then we have the focus gem which is made of sunstone, representing life, power, and freedom, finally we have the core which is made of thestral tail hair, representing death, peace, and fear."

Ollivander hands me the wand and as soon as my hand touches the wand a swarm of small little dots of lights burst out of my wand and arrange themselves in the ceiling of the shop becoming a sort of cosmos with splendid sights.

As soon as it appeared it also disappeared just like a snap, "Wow" I say under my breath

"Spectacular, my boy, this is the first of its kind phenomenon to occur and it seems like this wand has chosen you my boy." says the wandmaker

My mother speaks up, "How much do I owe you for the wand?"

"The elder wood will cost you a lot, that Sunstone was no ordinary sunstone at all so add that, I know where a herd of thestral live so that will not cost you a lot, even if you did not tell more about the mysterious metal one, thing I can figure out it that it costs a lot for sure, and I did not put in a tracker so add a little bit more for the risk I am taking, all in all, it will be 53 Gold Galleon," Ollivander says

That is 7 to 8 times a regular wand I think to myself.

My mother pays the amount and even gives thanks to him for the wand, then we head out of the shop.

Time has quickly passed, and I was able to try some basic spell with my new wand like wingardium leviosa, after a while I was able to get a better understanding of how spellworks operates and I came to the same conclusion that my mother described.

In spellworks there is first natural energy which is like the power or electricity, then there is metal energy which shapes or molds the spell.

I was able to learn even more when I used my third eye at the same time that I used some spells, my wand helps focus my natural energy and the chants help focus my mental energy.

When I told my mother the things I figured out myself, my mother rewarded me by giving me a book on different ways of casting; like Chantless casting where you say the chant in your mind and not out loud, it is good for catching your opponent unaware. Then there is Intent casting where you do no chant out loud or in your mind, but you need a mental image, it is good because it is very quick. Then there is Wandless-Chant casting where you say the chant but without your wand, it is good when you lose your wand in battle. Finally, there is True Wandless casting where you hold the metal image and do not use a wand, it is the most difficult and only very powerful wizards and witches have mastered it.

I decided to put a lot of focus on learning these different types of casting and I asked if my mother knows who else can do these different types of casting to see how will other wizards and witches fare against me.

"Most wizards and witches would know a few spells chantless but only masters like your teachers at Hogwarts will master chantless casting. Powerful wizards and witches like Dumbledore will have mastered chantless casting and Wandless-Chant casting. Ancient wizards and witches like Nicholas Flamel and Perenelle would be able to use Intent casting." my mother reply back to me

I was able to test many potions I saved up on Hedwig and she has grown much with the potions I feed her; like the Strengthening potion, the Wit-Sharpening Potion, the Girding Potion, the Memory Potion, and the Gregory's Unctuous Unction. With this Hedwig is much clever, stronger, faster, smarter, human-like, and treats me like its parents.

We still have plenty of time to get there on time, but I am feeling jittery today since I am getting closer to catching my dream, I already have finished packing all my stuff and am waiting for my sister and parents to quickly come downstairs so that we can leave.

My father is the first one to come downstairs and see me nervously waiting downstairs "Is my little Caelum nervous, well I guess there is a first for everything."

"I am not nervous, I am just excited that is all and I am not little anymore," I say crossly

My mother pitches in at that moment, "Why do you not stop teasing my son and get the floo powder ready."

My father gets the fire ready and my mother comes to me and say, "You will do wonderful at Hogwarts so there is no reason to freat."

I nod my head and my sister comes down finally, then we all gather around the flame, my father throws in some powder and we enter it one at a time, it is time for me to get to the train and get to Hogwarts to start on my next leg of the journey.

c 15

"Have a good semester at Hogwarts," my father says to me.

"Take care of yourself big brother at school, make sure to please come home during Christmas, and send letters when you are at Hogwarts," my sister says to me with pleading eyes.

"I know you will do very well, come here and give me a hug before you leave," my mother says, I give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Take care, I will make sure to write to you guys often," I say to my family as I pick get on the Hogwarts Express.

I am able to find a compartment that is empty and use the levitation spell to put my suitcase and owl cage with Hedwig inside on the empty rack and sit down.

I wave at my family that outside still and in the corner of my eye I catch the Weasely family coming through the wall.

I see Mr and Ms Weasley herding the kids on to the train. There is Bill who is a graduated from Hogwarts and now works at Gringotts as a Curse-Breaker who I got to know when I hanged out with the twins and if I there is one word to describe him as it would be 'cool' and he is the like the older brother you wish you had. Then there is Charlie who is a 6th year, who I have talked to about magical creatures and my greatest curiosity, the existence of XXXXXX magical creature. There is also Percy who is a 3rd year, he is the most hardworking in the family and the most ambitious and I can understand where he comes from, a poor family, but his mistake is that he thinks he is always right and that makes him look like he has a stick up his ass. There are the twins who are really great mates and I cannot wait to see the look on their faces when they see me going to Hogwarts. Then there is Ron, who gets easily jealous of what others have, attention seeking and does not work for anything, expecting everything to be given to him. Finally, there is Ginny who I have a high opinion of, ever since I saw her defending my sister.

I make a final wave to my family and the train starts moving, soon two people came inside my compartment partially and before they could have a look at me ask "Is there room in here for two more?"

"Sure, there is more than enough room in here" I reply

The two people that spoke to me have a good look at me and are shocked.

"Is that you Caelum?" asks Fred

"In the flesh" I answer back with a wicked smile.

"But how, aren't you 10 years old?" says George.

"My mother was able to get me in early since she taught us a lot and I guess my reputation as a genius helped," I reply back smugly

"Wow, why did you tell us during the summer, we will be starting at Hogwarts at the same time?" asks Fred

"Weren't two folks acting all smug and superior during the summer, I wanted to see the looks on their faces," I answer back

"I guess we were acting a little smug" Fred says with an awkward laugh

I roll my eyes "You have been rubbing it in my face for weeks."

"Okay, okay we did take it too far," says George

"All is forgiven," I say in my most magnanimous tone

That gets a chuckle out of the twins and I help them with their cases by using a levitation spell to put it in the upper racks.

"You can do magic already," says Fred incredulity

"I have been studying spell theories for a long time now and this is just a basic spell you guys will be able to do it in weeks," I say

"Great I cannot wait to get started doing magic, our mother barely lets us read any," says Fred

George nods his head, "I am worried about which house we will be sorted into."

"Yeah, Gryffindor is good since mostly everyone in our family is in it, Ravenclaw is okay but I do not think we got enough book smart to be in it, if I get sorted into Hufflepuff I rather go home, and I think we will be disowned if we get sorted into Slytherin, you know dark wizard and stuff," says Fred

I nod my head, being in Slytherin would be horrible since the only alley I can make is Voldemort and he would see my talent as a risk, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are okay but it is not where the real plot happens.

At that moment a lady comes with a trolley, "Anything off the trolley, dears?" asks the trolley lady

The twins shake their heads, I guess they do not have any money.

I speak up, "Could I have a little bit of everything you have."

The trolley lady gives me all kinds of treats; like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Jelly Slugs, Liquorice wands, and Pumpkin Pasties. I share all of them with the twins and we continue our chat as the train speeds along to Hogwarts.

After a while, Charlie comes to our compartment as we are looking at the chocolate frog's cards we got. "There you are, we are nearly at Hogwarts so go put on your robes, you too Caelum, hurry we are almost there."

As we are hurriedly putting on our robes a voice comes over us "We will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately."

We finish putting on our robes at the moment the train slows down, and we finally stop at the train station.

Charlie leads us out of the train and what catches my attention is a giant of a man with a great big beard.

c 16

"All right, firs't year c'mon over here," said Hagrid in his booming voice

"All first years need to follow Hagrid, go on, move along," Charlie says to the three of us.

We make our way over to Hagrid and I make sure to greet him, Hagrid is truly a book that you cannot judge by its cover, he may come across threatening at first but he is very caring to everyone and all creatures, and he is loyal and lovable once you get to know him.

Hagrid leads us over a bend and to the edge of the great lake and near us all are many boats.

"Four to a boat" yells Hagrid as all the first years hurry to get on to a boat.

Me, the twins, and a boy get on one boat.

"Nervous mates, I sure am, the name is Lee Jordon by the way, am I rambling, sorry, I did not ask what your guy's names are."

Lee Jordon, he was best mates with the twins in the books if I remember correctly, not much else was added about him. "It is alright, the first day everyone is nervous, anyways I am Caelum and these two jokers are Fred and George."

"Ha, very funny, this is Mr Lovegood the prodigy," says Fred

"Wow, you are really the potion genius, I thought you were 10 years old now?" asks Lee

"Our genius gets to start early since he is smarter than the rest of us" George answer with a playful tone

I roll my eye at the twins and before I could say anything back the boat gives us a shock by starting to move on its own.

Hagrid's voice came "Keep them hands and feet in the boat," but nobody is paying attention to him since everyone is silently staring up at the great castle overhead us all. It towered over us as we sail closer and closer to the cliff on which it stood.

The boats stops at a harbour of sorts, we all get off them, and make our way over pebbles and sand. Hagrid leads us all up a flight of stairs and knocks on a huge wooden door.

The door swings open and we are greeted to the sight of a witch with black hair tied into a bun in emerald coloured robes and a stern look on her face, it is Professor McGonagall.

"Thank you, Hagrid, I shall lead them from here," says Professor McGonagall

"Yo'ur very welcom', Professor McGonagall," says Hagrid and he heads off

Professor McGonagall ushers us inside and she leads us pass moving paintings, ceilings way too high to make out magnificent marble staircase, and flaming torches.

We follow Professor McGonagall until we reach a stone door and behind it, we could hear loads of voices, the rest of the students and teachers must be behind it I think to myself, Professor McGonagall shows us into a small, empty room away from the stone door.

All of us first years crowded inside the small room standing and peering at Professor McGonagall nervously.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, first years, no need to be nervous I am just going to give all of you an introduction," says Professor McGonagall

"The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room."

"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history, and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose you house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."

"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."

Her eyes landed on a few students that have much to fix up.

"How do we get sorted?" asks Lee

I shrug my shoulders and answer "By a talking hat."

Suddenly I hear a gasp and I turn and look to see about twenty ghosts that have just streamed through the back wall. Pearly-white and slightly transparent, they glided across the room talking to one another and hardly glancing at the first years. They seemed to be arguing.

What looked like a fat little monk was saying: "Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance -"

"My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really even a ghost - I say, what are you all doing here?"

A ghost wearing a ruff and tights had suddenly noticed us first years.

Nobody answered.

"New students!" said the Fat Friar, smiling around at them.

"About to be Sorted, I suppose?"

A few of the students nodded mutely.

"Hope to see you in Hufflepuff!" said the Friar. "My old house, you know."

"Move along now," said a sharp voice. "The Sorting Ceremony's about to start."

Professor McGonagall had returned. One by one, the ghosts floated away through the opposite wall.

"Now, form a line," Professor McGonagall told us, "and follow me."

c 17

I got into line behind the twins and Lee got behind me in line, we walked out of the room, back across the hall, and through a pair of double doors into the Great Hall.

I must say the great hall is truly a strange and splendid place. It is lit by thousands and thousands of candles that are floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students are sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting.

Professor McGonagall led us the first years up here so that they came to a halt in a line facing the other students, with the teachers behind them. The hundreds of faces staring at us looked like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight. Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone misty silver. Mainly of the first-year kids avoid all the staring eyes, I looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars.

I heard one of the twins nearly shout, "There is no roof."

"It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History." I tell the twins and Lee.

I look over as Professor McGonagall silently places a four-legged stool in front of us. On top of the stool, she put a pointed wizard's hat. This hat was patched and frayed and extremely dirty. It must be the sorting hat, I think to myself.

Everyone in the hall is now staring at the hat, I stared at it, too waiting to see what it will sing for us. For a few seconds, there is complete silence. Then the hat twitched. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth and the hat began to sing. I lose interest in the song as all it covers is the traits of the Four Houses.

Professor McGonagall now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment. "When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said. "Davies, Roger"

He must be the future Ravenclaw captain and he went with to the Ball with Fleur. "RAVENCLAW!" the hat shouts. The table second from the left clapped, several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Roger as he joined them.

"Diggory, Cedric!"

He was a good chap, sad that he died in the fourth book, I will try to help him, but I am not going to be an idiot about it and risk my neck if I cannot take on Voldemort.

The hat takes a moment pause "HUFFLEPUFF!" shouts the hat. The table on the right cheered and clapped as Cedric went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. I saw the ghost of the Fat Friar waving merrily at him.

Professor McGonagall calls more students to put on the sorting hat, then, at last, it is my turn, "Lovegood, Caelum"

Some people broke into whispers, it seems like there are quite a few people that know about my accomplishment in potions from my father's newspaper or from other people.

I sit down on the stool and put on the sorting hat.

I hear a voice "Interesting, you fit the bill for all four houses, now you are quite rare. You will do well in all four houses, so I will let you pick, what do you say about that?"

"Gryffindor!" I answer back immediately.

"Now, if I may ask why would you pick that house and not the other houses?" the hat asks

"It is obvious, it is where all the action happens, and where there is strife there will be plenty of opportunities to grow stronger."

"Interesting answer," the hat says to me.

After everyone in the Great hall waited for a few minutes, the sorting hat finally speaks up and shouts "GRYFFINDOR!"

I get a great round of applause and cheering from the Gryffindors, make my way to Gryffindor table, and sit next to Lee Jordon who got sorted before me.

"Well done, Caelum," Percy says to me, I give my thanks then look back at the sorting and it is Fred turn. As soon as the hat touches him he is put into Gryffindor and so is George.

Charlie come over to congratulate me and the twins, as we are jumping in joy we do not realize that Professor McGonagall rolls up her parchment and took the hat away.

Albus Dumbledore gets up to his feet and he beams at all the students, his arms opened wide as if nothing could have pleased him more than to see them all there. "Welcome," he said, the hall hushes down and we hurriedly find our seat.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

"Thank you!" He sat back down.

Is he a bit mad?" Fred askes Percy uncertainly.

"Mad?" said Percy airily. "He's a genius! Best wizard in the world! But he is a bit mad, yes."

I ignore them and turn to the dishes in front of me, where they are now piled with food. It is quite the lovely feast I must say as there is: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops and lamb chops, sausages, bacon and steak, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some strange reason, peppermint humbugs.

I know Dumbledore character well, his intentions are good, but he is manipulative and has much to be desired and I plan on not falling into his hands. The occlumency technique that my mother taught me is enough to defend myself and is much superior from the barbaric techniques everyone in the wizarding world has.

I finish my meal and desserts and Professor Dumbledore gets up again and tells us about the restricted areas to avoid.

We follow Charlie, who is the prefect, to the Gryffindor common room and he leads us to our rooms.

There I find my magical suitcase and Hedwig in her cage, too tired to talk we head to our bed, I make sure to do my channelling exercises and fell asleep.

c 18

There were a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts: wide, sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that led somewhere different on a Friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up that you had to remember to jump. Then there were doors that wouldn't open unless you asked politely, or tickled them in exactly the right place, and doors that weren't really doors at all, but solid walls just pretending.

And you could feel the magic pulsing through the whole castle, I dearly wished I could look at the Hogwarts castle with my third eye in all its glory, but I do not want to blind myself, a tough lesson that I learned when I looked at my mother with my third eye. You do not use your third eye on somebody who is far stronger than you or you will be blinded and for how long depends on how powerful the person you looked at.

It was also very hard to remember where anything was, because it all seemed to move around a lot. The people in the portraits kept going to visit each other, and the coats of armor could walk.

The ghosts didn't help, either with directions. It was always a nasty shock when one of

them glided suddenly through a door you were trying to open. Nearly Headless Nick is always happy to point a new Gryffindor in the right direction, but Peeves the Poltergeist was worth two locked doors and a trick staircase if you met him when you were late for class. He would

drop wastepaper baskets on your head, pull rugs from under your feet, pelt you with bits of chalk, or sneak up behind you, invisible, grab your nose, and screech, "GOT YOUR CONK!"

Even worse than Peeves, if that was possible, was the caretaker, Argus Filch. Me and twins managed to get on the wrong side of him on our very first morning. Filch found us trying to force our way through a door that unluckily turned out to be a door that was not really a door at all, but solid wall just pretending. He wouldn't believe that we were lost, he was sure that we were trying to break into it on purpose and was threatening to lock us in the dungeons when we were rescued by Hagrid, who was passing.

Filch is never alone, he owns a cat called Mrs. Norris, a scrawny, dust-colored creature

with bulging, lamp like eyes just like Filch's. She patrolled the corridors alone. Break a rule in front of her, put just one toe out of line, and she'd whisk off for Filch, who'd appear, wheezing, two seconds later. Filch knew the secret passageways of the school better than

anyone and could pop up as suddenly as any of the ghosts. Me and the twins started to hate the sqiub, and it was our dearest ambition of to give Mrs. Norris a good kick.

I swear to myself that one day I will capture that cat then carry out horrible experiments on it, I think the cat noticed my intentions, so it decided to stay far away from me.

We have to study the night skies through their telescopes every Wednesday at midnight and learn the names of different stars and the movements of the planets. I for one am a fan of star gazing even in my last life I was, I would love to get away from my foolish dad and step mom and look out into the sky for hours on end.

Three times a week they went out to the greenhouses behind the castle to study Herbology, with a dumpy little witch called Professor Sprout, where they learned how to take care of all the strange plants and fungi and found out what they were used for. I did really great in that class and even handed out some tips I picked up over my years of raising magical plants to Professor Sprout and I was able to get my house 20 points for a job well done in that class.

Easily the most boring class was History of Magic, which was the only one taught by a ghost. Professor Binns had been very old indeed when he had fallen asleep in front of the staff room fire and got up next morning to teach, leaving his body behind him. Binns droned on and on while they scribbled down names and dates and got Emetic the Evil and Uric the Oddball mixed up. Me and the twins use that time to catch up on other classes and chit-chat if we want.

Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, was a tiny little wizard who had to stand on a pile of books to see over his desk.

"Wands out everyone, today we will begin with floating the feather in front of you. You will have to use the floating charm so watch me carefully. -Wingardium Leviosa" Professor Flitwick shouted the chant and waved his wand as the feather started floating.

"You guys try it now." he said, and everyone started practicing the spell.

I know that I needed to shock the Professor Flitwick so that he would teach me dueling. I shouted the chant and waved the wand, the feather started floating up.

"Great job Mr. Lovegood, ten points to Gryffindor. Everyone did you just see Mr. Lovegood perform a great floating charm. If you do as he did, I am sure you will be able to do accomplish the same results as Mr. Lovegood" praised Professor Flitwick.

The twins and Lee where stuck with the charm, so I decided to help them out.

"Alright, think of yourself as a gust of wind trying to carry way some leaves. Now gently steer the feathers up until it lifts up."

As I continue to explain to the twins the other, the other students and Professor Flitwick listen.

After two tries, the twins are able to succeed, then Lee and more students who tried my method also succeeded. Professor Flitwick gives me a praised nod of approval.

c 19

After charm class was over Professor Flitwick asked me to stay back.

"I have to say, Mr. Lovegood, there has never been these many students in my class that were able to do the floating charm in the first class, you have my thanks for that. If I may, I will make sure to use your method in my floating charm class." Professor Flitwick says to me as he is using his wand absentmindedly to pick up all the feathers left on the desks.

"It is my pleasure to help my classmates, Professor Flitwick and it would be an honor for me if my method was to be taught to future students. I am sure anybody could figure it out all I did was relate mental images to magic." I say faking pure joy and humbleness.

"I am getting more and more impressed with you Mr. Lovegood, using mental images is a very high application of magic, mostly Aurors and us Professors, who mastered a branch of magic, use metal images when using magic," says Professor Flitwick nearly dancing in joy.

I know I have everything set up, I say "You over praise me Professor, I read about you after completing your Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests in his seventh year, you graduated from Hogwarts and then proceeded to become a Master Duellist and earned the title of 'Duelling Champion' at some point, and you have a shelf full of trophies to prove it."

"Ha, those were the younger days," says Professor Flitwick with a reminiscing look.

I nod my head along with the Professor and ask, "I was wondering if you would want to teach us students dueling since you were so good at it, you could open a club and you could invite the other heads of the houses to also teach like professor Snape vs professor McGonagall."

Professor Flitwick slowly nods his head, "Yes a dueling club would be nice, but you kids are too young."

I try a deferent approach, "Professor, many students learn about all kinds of spells when they graduate Hogwarts but they cannot use it cohesively and many fall to dark wizards and dark creatures for that reason. The dueling club would fix that Professor."

"You are correct Mr. Lovegood let me think about it," says Professor Flitwick with a thoughtful face.

I see that I need to give the Professor one final push, so I say, "Professor Flitwick, many could have fought back from Voldemort evil domination if they know how to," although a low blow on my part, I need to learn how to correctly fight, on instinct for that matter, not waving my wand around like a fool.

Professor Flitwick shivers when I say that to him, "You are correct Mr. Lovegood, learning how to duel will save many students lives in the long run from dangerous forces, I will talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about opening a dueling club and I shall invite the heads of the houses to help."

I see that my goal is achieved so I say my goodbyes to Professor Flitwick and ran along to my other classes.

Professor McGonagall class was very different, she was not a teacher you want to cross, even the twins stay in line in her class and do not dare to pull a prank over her. Strict and clever, she gave them a talking-to the moment we sat down in her first class.

"Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts," she said.

"Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned."

Then she changed her desk into a pig and back again. We were all very impressed and couldn't wait to get started, but soon realized they weren't going to be changing the furniture into animals for a long time.

After taking a lot of complicated notes, they were each given a match and started trying to turn it into a needle. By the end of the lesson, only I was able to turn my match into a needle and to show off a little I made it into a beautiful luxury needle, thanks to that I won 15 points. The twins were able to make some progress when I told them to imagine what they want with every detail and Professor McGonagall gave them five points for their partial work.

After class was over I stayed back so that I could strike up a conversation with Professor McGonagall about animagi.

"Professor McGonagall, I was reading an interesting book on animagi by a Native American wizard. He says you can skip all the complicated stuff: like putting a single leaf of a Mandrake plant in your in the mouth for one month, then putting that leaf in a crystal phial that receives pure moon rays, together with one of the your hairs, a silver teaspoonful of dew, and the chrysalis of a death's-head hawk moth. All those ingredients making a blood red potion, which is drunk after speaking the incantation 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus'."

Professor McGonagall raises her eyebrows at me and asks, "How would you go about becoming a animagi if you skip the steps needed?"

"That the thing Professor, the author said you do not need all that stuff, all you need is to find your inter-animal by being one with nature, then use the incantation 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus' then poof you can become animagi." This book was something I found in my mother's collection and with this method, I could save myself years, but I do not know the creditably of it and I do not want to end up as a half-human, half-animal, so the only person that I can run through with it is Professor McGonagall.

"This method is possible since all the blood red potion does is awakens your inter-animal, Native American wizards and witches are well known for their potionnering and animal magic, but what I do not understand is being in one with nature part," says Professor McGonagall.

I do, but there is no way I am sharing that, so I fake ignorance and say my goodbyes to Professor McGonagall and ran along to my next class.

c 20

Snape finished calling the names and looked up at the class. His eyes were black like Hagrid's, but they had none of Hagrid's warmth. They were cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels.

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making," he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but we caught every word just like Professor McGonagall, Snape had you caught every word and he also has the gift of keeping a class silent without much effort.

"As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect that you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death, that is only if you aren't a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."

Silence follows after Professor Snape's speech even the twins are quite and not goofing around.

Snape then had us partner up to make a simple potion that cures boils, which I could do with my eyes closed at this point. He let the Slytherins choose who to partner up with but for us Gryffindors he choose our partners, so I was had to work with Angelina Johnson.

Snape swept around in his long black cloak, watching us weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs, criticizing almost every Gryffindor except me, since I was already finished with my potion. He gave me a nod of respect for my potioneering skills and even gave me some hints on how to improve my potion, which I thought was not possible, it seems like I could improve a lot more in potioneering.

As I was following Professor Snape's advice a cloud of acid green smoke and a loud hissing filled the dungeon. Adrian Pucey, a Slytherin, had somehow managed to melt his cauldron into a twisted blob, and their potion was seeping across the stone floor, burning holes in people's shoes. Within seconds, the whole class was standing on their stools while Adrian Pucey, who had been drenched in the potion when the cauldron collapsed, moaned in pain as angry red boils sprang up all over his arms and legs.

"Idiot boy!" snarled Professor Snape, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand. "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"

Adrian Pucey whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose.

"Take him up to the hospital wing," Snape spat, then tells us to get back to work.

I could see some Gryffindor were about ready to jump up and shout favoritism and you should take 100 points from Slytherin, I shake my head to myself, what else could you expect from Snape, he does not what to break his disguise until Voldemort comes back.

Besides Snape and all, this is why I did not choose Slytherin for my house since it is filled with Purebloods who do not work towards anything and only rely on their family and half-bloods who wish they were Pureblood.

Then there is Ravenclaw, they do not make good allies (pawns) because it is filled with smart folk who do not see the point of sacrificing themselves and those who like to think they are smart, so they will not listen to me since they think they are smart and right.

No one will take me seriously if I was in Hufflepuff and I do not need to worry about them since they will jump off the bridge themselves if they see the crowd doing it.

Finally, there is Gryffindor, the perfect place to find followers and care out my plans with nobody being the wiser of it. This house is made of hotheaded fools and showoffs. All I need is to point them to the good old fight and they would be willing to sacrificing themselves, much better than the Ravenclaw who would recognize my true face and the Slytherin who would stab me in the back.

As I was climbing the steps out of the dungeon after potion class, the twins, Lee Jordon, Angelina Johnson, and a girl named Alicia Spinnet caught up to me.

"Well done mate, you were able to get a nod from Professor Snape, my brother Bill and Charlie said they never seen him even recognize a Gryffindor effort," said Fred to me.

"You know how it was, my mother had me do potions for years now," I said jokingly.

"Man you are good at potions and the same goes for all other classes, do you by chance want to study together at the library by any chance, I am not doing so great so far," asks Angelina Johnson with hope in her eyes.

"Yeah, sure I could meet all of you guys at the library on Saturday to study together," I say to them and they nod their heads in agreement. Anyways this could be a great chance for me, I could use them to test the animagus transformation method I found, written by the Native American wizard, and see if it works since I do not want to take any chances with it and end up as a half-human, half-animal state.

Lee Jordon reminds us that we have our flying class and we ran along to our very first flying lessons.

After our flying lessons I learn the sad truth of things, I have no talent in flying a broom, I could not even lift it up at all, the only thing my broom did was flop around like a dead fish. The twins joked around that maybe I am human after all.

It give my broom one last look, and I head back indoors.

c 21

"Hey, guys, you will not believe what I found," I say in a low whisper since we are in the school's library.

"What is it?" asks Fred.

"Do you guys remember how Professor McGonagall was able to transform into an animal in our first Transfiguration class that is called animagi. This book here shows you how to do that." I say faking amazement, but what my new friends do not know is that this was not indeed found in the school's library, but it was from me.

"No way, do you realize what that means, we can do follow the book and become animagi, we can transform into an animal," says Lee Jordon in amazement and glee.

"Wow, let me have a look at it," says Angelica with her hands out, and I gladly give it to her.

They all gather around Angelica with their heads leaning over her shoulder looking at what the book has to say.

"Where did you find this book, Caelum," asks George.

"It dropped out of the shelf I was looking through, it was hidden so deep and secretively, I think somebody hide it there," I say with a look of certainty like what I spoke is not else but the truth.

"Man, this amazing, if we follow these instructions we could become one of the few animagi in Britain, my dad told me there are only 7 registered animagi in the whole of Britain," said Fred.

"Yeah, but we better make sure to not get caught, especially by our head of house, Professor McGonagall, or else we might never be able to complete it," says Angelica with a worried face on.

Lee nods along with Angelica reasoning, "yeah let's put it back first since the process is easy to memorize."

"Okay, did you guys memorize it, all you have to do is be one with nature with that you will be able to find out what kind of animal you can transform to, then place the tip of your wand over your heart and speak the incantation 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus'. With that done you can become an animagi."

They all nod their heads and I pretend like I am going deep into the library, but I just went to a quiet place with no one around and put my book into a pouch, it was given to me by my mother and it has the extension charm.

I go run back to the place we were studying, and I heard Lee ask, "What does being one with nature mean anyway?"

"Yeah, we will not be able to become an animagi, if we do not know even understand the steps," says Fred.

"Is ain't it obvious to guys!" any avid reader of a wuxia novel knows being one with nature just means "MEDITATION."

I look at their faces and there is no realization, they all have a blank face, "You know when you cross your legs, close your eyes, and clear your mind."

"Why did you just say that," said George.

I sigh to myself, wizards and witches know nothing about muggle affairs, and the muggles continue to advance every day while the wizarding community is stuck in the middle ages.

Now that I am a wizard living in this world, my greatest fear is the speed at which the muggles continue to advance and one day in the future the muggles will learn about the existence of wizards and witches.

I read enough X-Men comic books to know what could happen in the struggle between us, wizards and witches, and muggles.

"Let's get back to the Gryffindor common room first then we can talk about more on animagi, I think the librarian Mrs. Irma Pince is looking over at us," said Fred and we all hurried along to the Gryffindor common room.

In the common room, we find a corner where it is difficult to hear what we are talking about. "Before we continue, we must all swear to secrecy," I say.

"I agree this is really important and Caelum could have kept it to himself, but he decided to share it with us, so I will do it, what about you twin," Fred is the first one to speak up then the others soon follow after him.

My heart warms a bit, at their quick loyalty to me, I will make sure to reward the twins well with helping the best I could with their future shop, I will make sure to get myself a good cut of the pie, I tell them to go to their rooms and meditate when we are already we shall use the incantation.

Although I am using them to test the method on the book, I am no fool, I do not want five half-human, half-animals running around, I am 90% sure this will work out since I am already in tune with nature and know what animal I shall become, I am just letting them go first to make sure everything will turn out okay and it is rewarding enough to let them all be able to become an animagi.

I go to my bed and start looking over the book my mother gave me on the different way of casting spells. The first one I want to get started on is Non-verbal casting, it is the easiest one to master of the other method of casting and it is good for catching your opponent unaware.

I take a piece of parchment and place it in front of me and do the floating charm but this time I do not say the chant out loud but in my mind, I waze my wand and the paper floats up slowly and shakily then I lose focus and it comes down by itself.

Man, I did not expect that to be so difficult, no wonder most adult wizards and witches can only use a few spells Non-verbally and only people that mastered a branch of magic like the professors here at Hogwarts have mastered Non-verbal casting.

c 22

Today, I am in my Defense Against the Dark Arts class right now, this year we have a competent teacher. Even so, I did not bother myself with remembering his name since he will be out, one way or another by the end of the school year.

So far, I have split Defense Against the Dark Arts into two parts to make things easier to understand, the first part is how to deal with dark creatures, and the second part is spells like Jinxes, Hexes, and Counter-Curses.

Us, first years are learning about X ranked magical creatures, which are boring since they cannot do anything to you at all, the only reason why I even try to learn about these creatures is that some of their parts could be used as ingredients in potions. The second thing we first years are learning is Jinxes, which for those of you who do not know is a branch of dark magic and it is the most harmless of that branch, that is why students are allowed to learn it at Hogwarts. Jinxes are mostly used for the amusement and they only cause minor discomfort of the victim.

We have been learning spells like; the Knockback Jinx, which knocks your opponent over, the Impediment Jinx, which temporarily slows your target, and the Jelly-Legs Jinx, which collapses your victim's legs.

The twins instantly fell in love with Jinxes and all semester they scoured the library for more Jinxes spells, I also joined them too and we learned Jinxes like; the Trip Jinx, which trips your victim causing them to fall, the Pimple Jinx, which makes boils erupt on your victim.

Armed with these spells me and the twins were able to up our game against Filch and cause him much trouble. I was even able to catch that dang cat, Mrs Norris, when she was outside by itself, with a powerful Jinx that I found in my mother's study called the Tempest Jinx, which strikes the target with lightning bolts. For a moment there, I thought I took it too far with the prank when the cat was all charred up and not moving at all, I hide right when Filch came through the gates leading outside.

"Where are you, Mrs. Norris?" calls Filch, as he looks around the grounds he sees her charred body lying on the ground and comes running to her.

"What happened to you girl," says Filch through violent sobs.

I sort of feel bad for the man, then I hear a weak meow.

"Oh, you are alive, let me get you to Madam Pomfrey," says Filch with relief and runs along with the cat in his arms to the school's healer.

I also let out a sigh of relief, and promise to myself not to try out dangerous spells until I leave Hogwarts so I do not end up expelled.

After that incident of nearly killing Mrs Norris, I take a break from making trouble for Filch and get back to practicing Non-verbal casting and working on my school work, but it seems like I cannot avoid trouble.

One day, Filch caught up to me in hallways as I was going to the library to study.

"The other teachers and Dumbledore may think it was just a random lightning bolt that struck Mrs Norris, but Mrs Norris told me it was you who did that to her. You did well to not leave any evidence, boy, but I am watching you and as soon as you slip up I will make sure you get expelled," says Filch with a vicious snarl plastered up against his face.

"What you are doing up agais't the studant, Filch," came a booming voice.

I turn away from Filch and look at the direction the voice came from and I am greeted with the sight of a giant man walking toward us.

"I was just giving this student a warning, Hagrid," says Filch and he gives me one last vicious look and walks away.

"You a'lright, ah.. you are that Lovegood boy right, who's good the'm potions and all," says Hagrid to me.

"Yes, and you must be the Keeper of Keys and Grounds, Rubeus Hagrid," I say back to him and hold out my hand, which I instantly regret as Hagrid shakes my hand and nearly tore it off.

"I was wondering if you can help me by making som'e potions for the magical creatures, I do not want to bother the Professors and what not," Hagrid said to me with hope in his eyes.

This is a great opportunity, I wanted to meet with Hagrid for a while now and talk to him about magical creatures, but I had no idea how to approach him, now I can.

"Yeah, sure I could make you loads of potions, but I need ingredients to make it," I say with a look of sadness on my face.

"I could help yo'u with that if you want," says Hagrid with reluctance.

"How?" I say with curiosity on my face, but I already know how.

"There are loads of them magical creatures in the forest, I could get you the ingredients you need," Hagrid answers back.

I fack a sigh of relief, but inside I am delighted, the Forbidden Forest is a very old place that houses many magical creatures, some dark and dangerous, others friendly. With Hagrid's help, who is the only person that has a clue about the Forbidden Forest, I could get my hands-on ingredients that I could only dream of and take my potionnering to greater heights.

"That could work out, here some potions during the meantime," I take out some potions in my pouch and give it to Hagrid. "Let's meet on the weekends at your hut so I can tell you the ingredients to look out for, how does that sound."

Hagrid nods his head and says to me, "Until next time," and walks away, I also leave make my way to the library.

c 23

It is nearly Halloween and all five of my Gryffindor classmates are finally finished meditating and where all able to figure out the animal they will transform into.

It is the weekends and right now we are in an empty classroom sitting all in a circle.

"Who wants to go first," asks Lee jokingly but you could tell he is a bit nervous.

I look at all of them and they are nervous one degree or another so to get back their nerves I say, " Chin up, come on all of you, after we do this, we will be the youngest people to have become an animagi in Britain wizarding community, and there is nothing to fear, I already talked to Professor McGonagall about this method and it should work. Anyways are you going to all chicken out after we did all that work, if you are then are you guys even really supposed to be in Gryffindor and not Slytherin."

That got a chuckle from all of them especially the twins, "I am no Slytherin, what about you twin," says George.

Fred put on a shocked face, " The audacity twin, how could you think so little of me, I am ready to do this, what about you?"

"I am already starting what about you?" says George as he places the tip of his wand over his heart, Fred snorts and also places the tip of his wand over his heart, then at the same time the twins speak the incantation out loud 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus'.

We all hold our breaths back, but nothing happens for a while.

"I think this method you found, Caelum is not working," said Fred and George nods his head to that too then all a sudden they let out a yelp of pain, grab their chest, and bend over.

"What is... happening Caelum," asks George through shuddering breaths.

"Are they alright, should I call a Professor," says Alicia Spinnet with a shaky voice.

"Calm down, all of you, Fred, George do you feel intense pain?" I ask

"Is aint that obvious... Caelum" said Fred.

"Good, do you feel a second heartbeat?" I ask with joy in my eyes.

"Yes.. and my eyesight is changing," says George.

"How is that good," asks Lee with a hint of anger in his voice.

"That means it is working, look," I say.

At that moment the twins are changing, becoming smaller, black fur popping up all over their body, and growing a tail.

"Fred, George it is important that you both do not resist the change or panic, as the animal might mind may take over if you do," I say to the twins and they both stop shaking about.

"ohahaha" said Fred and George, they have become two black-furred monkeys and if my guess is right they have both become spider monkeys.

"You guys did it, how do you feel," I ask them both.

The twins try to talk but all I could hear is screams and chatters, so they use their hands to try and talk to us.

I still do not understand them so I say, "Transform back, you can do that by visualizing your human form in your minds then you can tell us how it felt."

The two monkeys nod their heads and close their eyes after a while you can see them slowly changing as they get bigger, the black fur disappears, and the tail shrinks until it does not exist anymore.

The first thing the twins said at the same time after transforming back, "Wow, that was amazing."

"You look alright, do you feel alright," asks Alicia Spinnet.

"Man that was cool, you are an animagi now," says Lee with awe in his voice.

"It was quite exhausting but other than that it was amazing," says Fred and George nods his head at that.

I let out a sigh of relief, it seems like the twins are alright, I see no mutations, so the method must work like a charm.

I cannot hold myself back anymore, I say, "It seems like the method worked and the both of you are alright, so I will go next."

The twins nod their heads and say, "Good luck."

I get myself in a comfortable position by crossing my legs then I place the tip of my wand over my heart, then I speak the incantation out loud 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus'.

All of a sudden, I feel intense pain but I just clench my teeth and fist, then I hear a second heartbeat. I do not resist as I feel myself changing, my eyesight becomes better and glows in the dark empty classroom we are inside, white fur with black stripes starts popping up all over my body, I feel a tail start growing up above my butt, and I get on all fours as my transformation is complete.

I hear the twins shout in amazement, "You have transformed into a white tiger."

I try to take a look at myself but end up looking like I am chasing my tail like a dog.

I feel exhausted after keeping my transformation, so I close my eyes and visualize my human form in my mind and feel myself untransform, my tail slowly disappears, my white fur grows back in, and I get up from the floor as the transformation is done.

"Let me try next," says Lee with expectation in his voice and he does, at the end Lee becomes a tarantula.

Alicia Spinnet goes after Lee and transforms into a Scottish Fold cat, then finally Angelina Johnson goes, and she becomes a Turkish Angora cat.

"Alright, we have to keep this a secret, for now, we can report it to the Ministry is you want when you are older. This method of becoming an animagi is our secret, okay." I say, they all nod their heads at that.

"Good I have to go now, see you guys later," I say

"Are you going to Hagrid's hut again?" asks George, I nod my head and head out of the room.

c 24

I knock at the giant door of Hagrid's Hut, behind the door, I hear a dog bark and a booming voice come said, "I am coming, hol'd on for a sec." As I am waiting I look around and see a crossbow and a pair of galoshes outside the front door, must be Hagrid's equipment for going into the Forbidden Forest.

The door opens, and Hagrid face pops out from behind it, "Oh, it is you Caelum, come in" Hagrid said with his giant hand waving me to come inside.

I have been going to Hagrid's Hut on the weekends ever since we meet in the hallways during my first month in Hogwarts.

"Back, Fang," Hagrid said to the massive black dog that was blocking the entryway. Hagrid was able to move the dog by the collar and I was able to come inside Hagrid's house. There was only one room inside. Hams and pheasants were hanging from the ceiling, a copper kettle was boiling on the open fire, and in the corner stood a massive bed with a patchwork quilt over it.

"Make yerselves at home," said Hagrid, letting go of Fang, who tries to bound straight at me but I gave him one stare and say in a low voice that only he can hear, "Did you already forget what happened last time you tried to tackle me."

The first time I came to Hagrid's Hut, Fang tried to tackle me to the ground and lick me, but I thought it was a dark creature from the Forbidden Forest trying to kill so I used the most powerful spell I know so far, the Tempest Jinx, the same one I used on Mrs Norris.

Fang comes to a sudden stop and a look of remembrances crosses his face, that is what it seems to me on his dog face, and he runs behind Hagrid. Like Hagrid, Fang is clearly not as fierce as he looks.

"I do not know how you do that but anyone that comes near this Hut, he always tackles them to the ground and starts licking their face," Hagrid says as he pours boiling water into a large teapot and putting rock cakes onto a plate.

I give an awkward chuckle, "No idea," I say but I am just glad that Fang has good magical resistance.

Hagrid places some rock cakes in from of me, which look like shapeless lumps with raisins on it, I give my thanks to Hagrid, but I do not even dare to entertain the idea of putting one in my mouth since I learned the hard way that these things can break any men's teeth.

I make light conversation with Hagrid about my classes, school work, and teachers then Hagrid talks about the magical creatures he deals with and I listen up to and make sure to take everything in he says. People tend to have the wrong view about Hagrid most of the time and think he is just a lumbering idiot but if anything he is the opposite, the thing Hagrid excels at is magical creatures, his method are way ahead of anything found in books and I would even go as far to say he is the best magizoologist in Europe.

"Anyways Hagrid I was reading some diary entries from wizards and witches that travelled the world and went to some unexplored places and the thing I found in these diary entries is that they think that magical creatures above rank XXXXX exist, what do you think about that?" I ask the question that I have been burning to found out about.

I may not show it, with being calm, collected, and what not, but there is still that little boy in me and what could not awaken it any more than finding out of hidden powerful magical creatures no one knows about.

Hagrid drops the teacup he has in his hand as soon as he hears my question and freezes, then as quick as that he remembers himself and picks up the broken teacup from the floor and grabs a rag to clean up the mess, "I know nothi'ng of those creatures in the Forbidden Forest," Hagrid says.

I shack my head, Hagrid is not the best of liars, "I never that those magical creatures were in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid."

Hagrid looks at me for a while and sighs then he says, "You, Caelum are awfully clever, anyways I never told anyone this not even Dumbledore, so do not go running around telling everyone what I tell you, okay?" I nod my head and skoote my chair closer to Hagrid's.

"Even if you do tell anyone, no one will believe for that matter since I never really saw them, just glances or clues of them. Right as you know the Forbidden Forest is massive with all kinds of magical creatures, nobody knows all its secrets about, including me and I have been wandering it for years now, I think not even Dumbledore knows all the secrets that forest holds." Hagrid takes a pause to wipe away Fang's drool from his coat and continues on,

"So one day, I went to see a friend of mine that lives in the Forbidden Forest, that was when I saw it, a white tail as massive as a hill and as soon as that it disappeared into a giant cave as wide as Hogwarts. There was this other time I found flames that where burning corpses of powerful magical creatures and I tried to burn it out so that it does not spread but no amount of water could even smiter it. Another time I saw some dead trees, yes, deader than they usually are and in the middle of those trees was a single massive black feather. Finally, I saw a hole so wide and deep, I throw many rocks in it and for hours I did not hear it hit the ground and around the hole was golden furs and claw marks, so something must have dug that hole."

c 25

The only thing that escapes my mouth is "Wow."

Hagrid nods his head at that, "I know, hard to believe right, so to answer your question, yes I do believe magical creatures above the rank XXXXX exist. Anyways here are the ingredients that you needed; 3 pints of Acromantula Venom, a few of those white flowers you wanted, 2 Bezoar, a Billywig Sting, a Boomslang skin, a Graphorn horn, some Unicorn hair, and a Griffin claw."

I awaken from my shock and my face changes into a smile and I wipe away the drool, these are very rare potions ingredients that people could kill for like; Acromantula Venom could go for 100 Gold Galleons a pint, that white flower is called Asphodel which could be used in the Draught of Living Death and the Wiggenweld Potion, Bezoar acts as an antidote to most poisons, Billywig Sting could make a person float, a Boomslang skin is used in Polyjuice Potion, Unicorn hair could be used in all kinds of potions, a Graphorn horn is very expensive, and a Griffin claw is used in the Strengthening Solution.

"Thanks, Hagrid, I have a few healing potions that are brewing right now, I will bring it to you tomorrow, and do you want me to brew any other potions for you next week?" I ask

"No, I am will be good for a while with all the potions you gave the past weeks," says Hagrid nodding his head.

I take all the ingredients of Hagrid's hand and put them into my magical pouch and say my goodbyes to Hagrid then I head out.

Early in the morning, I am carrying out my meditation technique, that my mother taught me, then I feel the boundary that I can see with my Third Eye increase to 12 meters all around me and that it also feels like it is sort of elevated, so I awaken it and have a good look around. Before when I used my Third Eye I could only see the amount of natural energy in my body and for other people, I would only see a blur even if they were a muggle or child wizard, but now that I look at Fred, who shares a dorm with me, I can see the amount of natural energy he has in his body, which is 10 units nearly breaking through level 2, at that moment I feel excited since I know what this means.

Before I went to Hogwarts my mother filled me in with a lot of stuff, one of them was about my Third Eye.

[Flashback]

"You must be wondering why I don't want you to teach anyone how to awaken their Third Eye, correct?" my mother says with a smirk on her face.

I nod my head, when my mom told me to keep it to myself, I never really saw the point in keeping it a secret since all it really does for you is keep track of your power level.

"That is because you do not know the full extent of the Third Eye."

"Wait, there is more to this Third Eye stuff?" I ask.

"Yes, what you touched upon is just Level 1 and Level 2 of the Third Eye, they both come together but to differentiate they are divided, so as you can guess Level 1 is when you can see the natural energy in the environment, level 2 is when you can see the natural energy in yourself, and where I come from the method to awaken your Third Eye is available everywhere and anyone could awaken it if they decide to put time into meditating," My mother said.

"You just reiterated my worry, but anyways I do not care about that, I am not the grandpa of all those wizards and witches so even if it is meniscal I am not going to hand it out for free, also I know those wizards and witches are not going to grateful but would want to know more, it is human nature. They will start to ask each other how a small-time wizarding family with no history know this and instead of being grateful and praising us they would use dirty methods to force everything out of us," I said or at least that is what I would do.

My mother smiles and rubs my head playfully then says, "I have to say I am proud of you for putting that together, but no that is not the reason why I told you not to tell anyone, if I wanted to I could spread the word but like you said I am not their grandpa."

"There is much to the Third Eye then these two levels, the reason why I wanted you to hide it, is related to your grandfather, if you ever run into his enemies I do not want them to recognize you," my mother says with a sigh and a look of sadness, I want to ask but I do not since every time I do ask my mother about her past and family she does not even say a word to me and I know the only reason why my mother would keep it secret is to keep me safe. Over time I stopped asking and put more and more effort into my magic since with only strength I can remain untethered.

"Your grandfather a genius and further developed the Third Eye and added 4 more levels, the 3rd level allows you to see the natural energy in other people meaning that you would have an idea of how powerful your enemies are, the 4th level allows you to see the natural energy in all objects and materials meaning you can recognize the value of any object, the 5th level allows you to see the spell model of anything cast near you meaning you can understand and copy that spell, and the last level, the 6th level, this level is random to everyone you practices this technique, it could be very weak like seeing the heat signature or it could be powerful like your grandfather, he was able to see nearly all possible futures with some accuracy and clarity."
