A/N: Before you ask, I am going to label the "future" Harry came from as "old world". The past is going to be "new world".
Chapter Four: The Years Are Pulling Past
For the last three years, Harry had been able to accomplish quite a bit. He did two more "rituals of the wisdom", which meant that he was at the maximize level the ritual would allow; basically he couldn't do this particular ritual anymore. One of the side effects of doing that ritual so much was perfect, or even better, vision; no more hideous glasses for him. Harry steadily read through over 600 books during the first three years in this world. Through the books, he was able to grasp a much better hand on wandless magic, which proved to help expand his core to faster. He was able to do all spells up until fifth year of the Hogwarts curriculum, anything further than that was too draining for him. He was slowly, very slowly, getting better at doing anything further than that, it would just take some time and he needed to build up his strength a little more.
One of the main benefits of his wandless abilities was that he was able to redo his entire room to be of a flat (penthouse). He expanded the room almost twenty times it size and added rooms for all his needs.
One of the largest rooms he created was his library. All four walls were covered in cherry oak wood, floor to ceiling book shelves. He put all his books in alphabetical order, and then cross referenced them according to genre and how rare they were. All his dark arts book were hidden I the very back of the room with a "cloak" over so if he had any visitors, it would look like a bunch of muggle books instead of dark arts. There was a gigantic window, placed on the west wall, with a huge desk (cherry oak) place right in front of it.
The largest room was the Potions Lab. It was very room, had a lot of space to move around, four fire/water/acid proof tables, two cauldrons on each. There was a huge cupboard with a large amount of potions already done, for example bruise salve, pepper-up, skelo-grow, Dreamless Sleep, burn salve ect. There was another cupboard filled with potion ingredients ranging from eye of newts to phoenix tears and basilisk skin. The last cupboard held all the potion equipment such as extra cauldrons, different types of knives, and scales.
The bathroom was probably the smallest room in the flat. It only had the rudimentary shower/tub combo, a sink, toilet and a cabinet to put the towels and miscellanies things in along with a hamper for the dirty cloths. Nothing fancy, really.
The kitchen is the room that was the hardest room to do. With all the electrical appliances, it was some of the best transfiguration work Harry has ever done. It had top-of-the-line refrigerator, stove, toaster, and freezer. The black granite counter tops blended perfectly with the platinum/steel color of the appliances. The sink was deep with an overhang faucet. There was a huge dinning room table (once again, cherry) that could fit six people comfortably. It was truly a masterpiece.
Probably one of the most benefiting rooms in the whole flat was the training room. The training room was protected with anti-tracking and magic diverters (1), so the Ministry of Magic couldn't charge him for breaking the underage sorcerer law (A/N: remember that the wandless magic is already undetectable, the training room will be the only room where Harry can use a wand). Harry bought some mechanical-turned-magic dummies (2) that had many different properties to them. One of the things they could do was measure the strength of the spell you cast toward the dummy; on a scale of one to a thousand. Another one, and probably the most helpful, was the dummies would fight against you according to your growing strength, which means that the better you get at dueling the harder defeating the dummy will be. As Harry dueled with the dummies he learned that wandless magic, on average, much stronger than the magic that was used with a wand. Since the dummies were allowed to fire spells at him, Harry quickly became a master a dodging and avoiding spells.
The last but room was his bedroom; his favorite. It was definitely the best furniture room in the house. When you first walk into the room, the huge four poster bed is what immediately catches your attention. Standing in the middle of the room, the bed was flanked by two small bedside tables on each side. The bed itself was varying shades of blues, mostly dark though. The walls were coated with a navy blue paint with a beige/crème color moldings, which went all the way around the room. On the west wall, there was an honest sized window, hidden behind blue velvet curtains, with a little sitting niche at the bottom of the window. There were a couple of small bookshelves thrown around the room in random places. There was a small but decent sized fireplace on the east wall. A comfortable looking chintz chair was in a corner with a small table and a reading lamp beside it.
All the rooms were enchanted to clean and organize itself without the help of house elves. Dishes and laundry were likewise cleaned and folded, put into their place, without the help of house elves. The ceilings of all the rooms were also like the ceiling in the Great Hall, though Harry could control them if he wants them on or not or what the ceiling showed.
A couple of days after finishing his flat, Aunt Petunia made a little visit to him. However before Harry could ask her what she wanted, she promptly fainted at the site of the obviously magically changed room. She never bothered him again after that.
Aunt Petunia wasn't the person who changed their attitude towards Harry. Dudley was significantly different from the old world. He was interested in magic, even with what all his parents said about it being unnatural and freaky. It was mast likely because of this that helped change his character so much. He was no longer fat, abusive towards other people and Harry, but quiet and what Harry could consider friendly. Harry particularly enjoyed the change since he was becoming a bit lonely with no one to talk to. Over the years they had become pretty good friends. As Dudley explored the realm of possibilities with Harry, they discovered he was a squib, like Aunt Petunia. Though this discovery was completely confusing to Harry since his mother was a muggleborn and squibs only came from pureblood families. Harry decided he would check out his family tree later. Seeing as he couldn't perform magic, Dudley turned to potions instead and could often be found in Harry's library reading a detailed book about potions. Harry welcomed Dudley to the potion lab and within a year, Dudley was at a 7th year level in potions. After walking in on Harry dueling, Dudley and Harry became sparing partners, which greatly helped Harry, who needed a live person to duel/spar with.
During the three years he was with the Dursleys, he had very limited interaction with them. The only time he saw the elderly Dursleys was when he went on his morning jog around the neighborhood. Other than that Harry was ignored which suited him perfectly. Though Harry enjoyed his time with Dudley he was beginning to really miss his old friends, especially Ginny.
(Present Time)
Harry just successfully finished the Animagus Revealing Potion after the twenty-third try.
Harry stared into the swirling greenish blue liquid in his hand that was waiting to be taken……

A/N: That's all for today.
I have no idea if this is in the books, I just made it up.
Just in case you are confused…when Harry bought the dummies they were mechanical, Harry just altered them into magical ones instead
