HER POV~
I sighed as I lay down on my bed. I closed my eyes and tried to remove all the thoughts from it.
After what felt like an hour I kind of got detached from the reality, I felt like I was in a dark haze filled a void, It was like I was floating in a black mist with only my thoughts working and I couldn't feel my body at all. all these feelings were eerily similar to when I was in REM sleep.
I mentally shook my head and tried to make heads and tails of my surrounding. This must be my mindscape, It's all black and empty like the books said it will look like when a person first enters their mindscapes.
The first step to Occlumeny, Meditation.
To enter their mindscape the witch/wizard must meditate, Meditation helps the sorcerer to attach to their inner mind or more specifically the mindscape. During Meditation a person must detach from their physical surroundings and search for inner peace, this may take time but, connecting to one's inner mind or subconscious not only helps the sorcerer perform magic more precisely but moreover it is less stressful and harmful to become occlumens through meditation rather than gaining forced occlumency or more precisely the just protective walls by the means of legiliminency...

Second step, Physique
After regular meditation, the sorcerer will start connecting to their inner mind. At first, the connection might be brief and hazy but through practice, the connection will become stronger and more stable over time. when the sorcerer is finally able to attain a stable connection to their mindscape, they will find themselves in a paralysis-like state, Only their mind will be awake while their body goes to sleep. To proceed further the sorcerer must give a shape to their consciousness in their mindscapes. To form a Physique or a Body the sorcerer must imagine the body forming around themselves, the sorcerer can/may take any form and shape in their mind but there is a high possibility that they will attain their original looks and shape ...

Third steps, Organizing
Once the sorcerer has achieved a solid form the next thing they should do is to organize their thoughts. To Organize their thoughts the sorcerer must imagine their memories as something solid for example a person who likes flowers can imagine their memories as certain flowers and categorize them depending upon their breed i.e memory type or a person who likes food may imagine memories as food and sort them depending upon the food style i.e memory type or the time of when the memory happened ...

I Imagined myself in a body and I did not need to look to know that I did not look like Harry Potter but I looked like my real 15-year-old female self. soon enough I could kind of feel again. I could move hands at first only the fingers twitched and after some practice, I could move my hand. After a few minutes of flexing my arms and legs. Still floating in the void I decided to work in the mindscape as the book suggested.
I created the ground first, a single thought and endless evergreen plains were formed I floated towards and felt my legs touch the ground.
I stretched again and looked at my surroundings, I could see the horizon where the Void and the ground touched. Might as well get to work. I thought of all my memories as books and soon I bound tons of books around me along with thousands of scattered pages that lay on the floor.
I picked one of the thin books and read the title 'My first day in the new school ' dated 21 April 2019. I snorted remembering the day and the awkwardness of it.
I picked up a scattered paper and read through it
what if I turn Loki's distant paternal relative from Laufay's side good and have him ask Erik to become the King and heir to Jotunheim Ah! so, these were my scattered thoughts.
Hmm so all my memories are as books and thoughts as scattered pages, I would have to organize them.
I looked at the empty land in front of me and imagined a huge circular library. I started sorting the memories depending upon both time and type. I started placing the oldest memories on the lower levels of the library and placed them in a certain section labeled with something specific to memories since I didn't want to be bothered to move everything when I accumulated new memories and could simply add a new floor.
I placed my oldest memories on the lowest shelf to the leftmost corner. then I placed some other childhood memories in the same section, the section was labeled 'pueritia memorias' A Latin phrase meaning childhood memories. After placing books worth 12 years I came across a book named 'Reading Harry Potter 1 Pdf' dated May-June 2018. I looked at the section of the library on the 3rd flor that looked oddly similar to Hogwarts library and placed the book in it, next I placed the next 6 harry potter books and stocked the section with all the harry potter fanfictions I read, I was surprised to see that it took me 5 and a half shelves to store all of then and I was yet to sort all my fanfictions and scattered ideas on the topic.
bemused I started sorting again and was surprised to come across a book named ' My 7th birthday with spiders' Curious I flipped through the pages and was left seething and marveling
bemused I started sorting again and was surprised to come across a book named ' My 7th birthday with spiders' Curious I flipped through the pages and was left seething and marveling. So Harry potter did not just leave me his traits and abilities but memories too ...hmm interesting
I would ponder on that later though, after all, I had literally tons of mess to arrange. After what felt like hours I came across my latest memories from a week ago in a book named 'professor elves and speaking toads ' dated 1 August 1919 I flipped through the pages till I got to the chapter named 'Oops! forget about beast tongue '
*******************************************flashback******************************************
" Hello, young master " oh shit!
" You can speak! " I blurted out
" well yes I can, you look...surprised, Can't every other creature on earth talk ?"
" but-but you are speaking English !" I said in astonishment
" No master I am simply speaking the noble language of frogs "
" But-but how can I understand you the then " I only speak human and parseltongue
" It seems you can speak the language of beasts master " language of beasts oh yes, beast tongue didn't I read about it in my inheritance test results?
" Hmm, so. what is your name err ?"
" I like other untamed creatures do not have a name, It is up to you to name me master "
" do you like the name Tarotoad " Tarotoad after the dual-type Psychic/Steel frog Pokemon.
" A...peculiar name but I don't mind it though " I nodded " what is master's name ?"
" Harry Potter is my name though you may call me Harry "
" Night master harry," he said before turning immobile, tucking his? her? limbs under IT'S body, keeping IT'S chin and stomach very close to the ground and covering IT'S eyes with IT'S nictitating membrane.
****************************************flashback over*****************************************
I shook myself out of the memory and placed the book on the self, Next, floated the memories via books for the recent 7 days into their place
Once the memories were sorted I turned my attention to the thousands of scattered papers on the ground outside the library. I did not have enough energy to sort through all of them so I simply piled them up according to their date of formation, sorting them depending upon their date of creation was easier than sorting them according to their content. I did not have to go through the content after all
After floating the last pile of pages into one of the many storage cabinets that had appeared.
I stepped out of the library and didn't need to turn around to know that the giant 3 feet thick 9 feet tall steel doors to it had closed. I sighed and stretched, Taking in the sight in front of me. A garden and iron fences had sprung up in front of the library. the garden consisted of some innocent-looking but fairly poisonous plants, all of which I knew for example aconitum and oleander, lily of the valley, and my personal favorite belladonna a flower that could kill a person or cure a person of various diseases.
I Sighed and relaxed, trying to feel the sheets that I knew were beneath my true physical form. It took me a fair dozen tries, a sort of panic attack, and a dozen more scattered papers i.e thoughts to exit my mindscape.
I yawned as I opened my eyes. blinking a few times to get rid of the white spots dancing in my eyes, I sat up and took in my room. everything was just as same as I remembered it to be before, I stood up shaking off the haziness of being in y mind for the first time, and stretched and snorted in amusement
oh how every Potterhead will kill to know and commit suicide once they know that one did not become ' more attuned" or " alert " to their surroundings just after an occlumency lesson. The book said that the sorcerer will get used to being in their mindscape after a few times but till then it was they will have a bit of difficulty differentiating between their mindscape and reality.
I looked at the oddly non-magical clock in my room. 8:48 pm gods I was 3 hours in my head! I snorted mother would be proud to know that I spend soo much time in my head instead of doing something actually useful
A week went by as I spent my time in Grimmauld place, learning about any and everything I could, I laid in my bed going through my mindscape i.e library that was named 'commentarius' A Latin word meaning diary
I laid with closed eyes upon my bed as my latest lesson with Kreacher played in front of me like a video.
*****************************************Memory******************************************
Date 10 August 1919
"kind Master Harry " Kreacher pooped in the kitchen where I was drowning a cup of coffee much to the irritation of twinkle who thought I was too young to consumed coffee and was cleaning some dishes (magically).
" Yes, Kreacher?" I raised a brow
" Kreacher has prepared the plane-eta-rim" he stuttered " for master Harrys study of stars"
" It's a pla-ne-tay-ri-um " I corrected him and he blushed" and yes please lead me there "
Kreacher lead me to the topmost floor of Grimmauld place, He opened a door for me and I entered the fairly large room which had a glass ceiling in a doom pattern, A section of the Glass walls i.e the doom was missing and a fairly big telescoped was perched on foot high platform with its head sticking out f the hole in the glass wall.
Kreacher must have done something because small lanterns were floating around the area giving the room an eternal look.
" Master harry you are standing upon the Ophicuhus"
*************************************memory end *************************************
In the lesson I was amazed to see that even if kreature could not pronounce planetarium properly he had an abundance of knowledge about astronomy
I sighed as I summoned another rather amusing memory
*****************************************memory**********************************************
Dated 2 August 1919
I was sleeping when loud screaming woke me up in the middle of the night, panicked I picked up my wand and a can of chloroform, one of the many knick-knacks I had shopped in the muggle world.
I descended the stairs being careful not to step on the 7th from the downward creaky trick stair and silently sneaked into the hallway, the screaming was coming from the kitchen.
pocketing the wand I opened the door slightly and peeked in, the spray held tightly in my hand.
I looked in and could not see anything much from my position, damn it! I had to give myself away if I wanted to look at what was happening. making up my mind I opened the door and jumped into the room the spray held in an attacking position in front of me. The emergency portkey that I had purchased from goblins was my backup plan
I looked at the commotion in front of me
All the elves were there and were either backing away or moving closer to a rather dangerous and beautiful-looking Blue pit Viper. What the holy hades was a BLUE of all things pit viper doing in my house Didn't they usually live in Southeast Asia, India, and southern China!
~ How dare you destroy my nesssst ~ She said flicking her tongue out ~ Foul creaturesssss tarnisssshed my nesssst , no place to sssshelter , I will kill them~
I noticed that Caedes was about to Curse her
" Caedes Stop !" my voice resonated in the silent f the night, all the house elves looked towards me in shock, t seems that none of them had heard me come in
" master the snake is poisonous," Caedes said glaring at the snake
" I know that Caedes but you are not to harm her unless I tell you to, " I looked at the rest of my elf army " same goes for all of you "
~ human has brains ~ she looked at me flicking her tongue again
~ That I do ~ I said in parseltongue and all of the elves took in a sharp intake of breathing some
~ A Sssspeaker , No wonder you are ssssmart ~ She said slithering towards me
~ Are you going to harm me ?~ I asked her
~ I won't unlessssss you threaten me ~ she said climbing on my hand that I had offered her
~ I won't threaten you noble sssslytherer but I do wonder how you entered my Nesst "
~ MY nesssst , I have been living here for 72 moons ~ hmm 72 moons means 72 months that is 6 years ~ I have been here sssince I hatched~
~ Ah sssso you were born here , where isss your nessst ~
~ in the room filled with glass jars and Big bowls ~ glass jars? big bowls? Ah the cauldron so her nest is in the potion lab , poor thing her egg must have been an ingredient
~ I have a deal for you ~ I said to her
