I sighed gratefully as I finished taking my N.E.W.T.S at the ministry. I had decided to not go back to Hogwarts for my final year. Though it had been 3 months already since the battle, I wasn't ready to go back there yet. So a couple of weeks after the battle I went to Gringotts to pay for any damage I had caused. They had accepted and it was then that I had learned about my Lordships. I was Lord Potter, Black, Peverell, and Slytherin (by conquest). When they saw how little I knew of the wizarding world they offered, for a fee of course, the use of their time chamber so that I could learn.
I took them up on their offer and spent the next 2 months in the chamber, which there equaled to 5 years. I went over every subject from every year at Hogwarts, except Divination, learned the wizarding laws, etiquette, ancient runes, arithmacy, sword fighting, animagi training, wandless and non verbal magic, languages, creatures and magical beings, and different forms of hand to hand combat. I had taken nourishment potions to correct my lack thereof, a growth potion so that I was now the height I was meant to be and was now quite happy being 6'4", and an eye correction potion so I no longer had to where glasses. Now that my scar was gone and my hair down to my shoulders, I was no longer recognizable. Since I had aged five years, I took a de-aging potion so I would be 18 again.
When the time was up I had went back to Grimmauld and helped Kreature clean the place up. I then contacted the ministry and set a date for my N.E.W.T.S. And now I was done with my regular magical schooling. I would get my results in a week and then I could see about maybe attending a magical college. I had told no one of my plans. I did let Ginny know that we wouldn't be maintaining our relationship and she had told me that that was fine. Ron and Hermione were still together, though I didn't know for how much longer. Rumor had it that she wanted to go to college, but Ron wanted her to stay with him.
The week passed by quietly and I got my results. I got O's in everything. It was as I was reading my results that I got another letter carried by a beautiful great grey owl. I opened it.

Wow. I didn't know that Britan taught Parselmagic or Alchemy. I decided to accept the invitation. I chose the Luxury Suite in case I had visitors that stayed overnight. I then chose Alchemy, Ancient Runes, Arithmacy, Charms, Combat, DADA, Elemental magic, Healing, Herbology, Mind Magics, Necromancy, Parselmagic, Potions, and Warding. I had already done my animagi training when I was in the time chamber. I had also found out that I was a minor metamorphmagus. I could change my hair color/length and eye color at will. I sent my response along with a check for 142500G with the owl that brought the letter after putting security charms on it. The goblins were trying a new system using checks and debit cards blood tied to the owner. Only the place or person the check was made out to would be able to cash it in.
The next day I got my list of required items and a note that had the floo address to my room and also the public floo I would have to go through first. I went to Diagon Alley and got everything I would need including, finally, a new wardrobe both magical and muggle. I wrote letters to my friends and sent them off at the OWL Post. I then decided it was time to get a new owl. I got a beautiful black Eurasian Eagle Owl who I immediately named Prince, because he reminded me of Severus.
I arrived at Founder's University 10 minutes before scheduled. There were quite a few other students there as well, some definitely not human.
