"But, how can you apparate already?" She whispers to herself.

(Present)

Once I was in my room, I decided to try and change it. I didn't like all the red and gold, so I added in green, silver, yellow, black, blue and finally bronze. It felt like it should have always been like that, yet it obviously wasn't. The bed was now double its original size, and was red, green, yellow, and blue. The bed felt more welcoming now, like it was whole, not just partially whole. Without realizing it, I extended my power into the room, and felt something try and resist me. I smirked at this, and using just a bit more power, removed the resistance. I added my own magic into the room, and saw the room's size increase exponentially. However, I had pushed to much magic into the room, and I barely made it to the bed before I passed out.

(10 minutes later)

"Harry dear, are you alright? What happened?" I hear Augusta ask, through the door. I notice that the door is vibrating and realize she trying to get in. My magic was simply to strong for her to do anything about.

"I'm fine. I released some of my magic so I could see what I could do, and I must say, I'm impressed with the outcome. Let me get the door. It seems I'm more magically potent than you, even at this age. Cool. That would make sense, considering I defeated Voldemort while still in my nappies." I say, hearing a gasp when I used the Dark Lord's name.

"Don't say his name! His name is tabooed. Call him You-Know-Who or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, my child." She replied, sounding nervous. I let loose a loud chuckle and told her off.

"He doesn't scare me. If I could beat him as a baby, I can own his ass now if he tried to end me." I reply, and open the door. I feel my magic start trying to enter the rest of the house, but I restrain it, not sure if she would be okay with my changes.

"Dear Merlin child! You did this all by yourself!? Not even I can do a fraction of this, and your a fraction of my age!? Have you had your magical core potential tested yet?" She asked, to which I shook my head. Maybe the test could help me figure out what is happening to me. "Well, the spell you use is potens, but you need something to use the spell on. Here, let me conjure you a shield to use, that should work."

"If it's no issue with you, please let me do the conjuring, as I don't want to injure you. Now, please stand back, I'm going to do it." I tell her, before using my magic to create a shield on the floor.

'Hey, don't I need a wand to do the test?' I ask the presence in my head, and I hear it mutter something about being to strong for this test.

"Yes Harry… you do… but you… are too… powerful… for that… to matter… let me… do the… spell so… it can… read my… magical potential… not yours… until you… get your… wand from… my… brother." It replied, and I let it access my core, and I feel it push it out using my hand as a medium to point the magic in the direction of the shield.

I see a yellow light shoot from my hand, and hit the shield. I hear a gasp of shock, and see Neville in the doorway, watching us. I look back at the shield, and see numbers floating above it, still rising however. Soon, I see 5 blurs, the six blurs, before the numbers slow down. When they finally stop, the number is seven digits long, and nearing an eighth digit. It read 9 999 999. I hear a soft thud, and look behind me. I see Neville leaning over his grandma, asking her if she's okay. I hear her say yes, that she was simply shocked at the number. I quickly send them to her room, before asking the presence if I could have my power back, to try the test.

"Yes… but say… Potens Maxima… not Potens… as you… are much… too strong… for that… spell…" It answered, and I nodded, before using that spell, to see my potential, not the potential of the presence. I see a bright, neon yellow light fly from my hand and hit the shield, but I almost instantly hear a metallic snap, and see that the shield had cracked.

"Let me… maintain… the shield… you focus… on the… spell…" It tells me, and I see the shield repair itself, before redoing the spell. This time, the yellow was so bright, I was nearly blinded by it. I feel it hit the shield, but I don't sense it break, only absorb the energy I threw at it.

"You can… stop now…" It tells me, and I stop forcing my magic out of my core.

I see a bright light above the shield, but can barely look at it for about 5 minutes, before it starts to dim enough to look at. I gasp, surprised by the number myself, and have to move to my bed, before I faint from shock. I burn the memory of the number into my head, and lock it up in a prison of my own level. I fall asleep, still thinking about the number I had seen.

It read: 1 000 000 000 + magical core expansion = 1 000 000 000 000 000.

A/N: Before you guys say that I'm making Harry way too powerful for his age, let me explain what my spell does, by explaining the difference in the two spells.

Potens: Reads the magical energy in the spell cast, not the energy in the casters core. If you drain your core, you get the size of your core. Otherwise, you get the strength of your spell, sadly.

Potens Maxima: Using the suffix maxima, you add a passage for the potens reading to be sent into your magical core, where it reads the actual core size, not the spell strength. So, no, Harry doesn't actually have 1 000 000 000 strength in magic, he has the potential to get to that point, using the Gem of Power.

He himself doesn't yet reach Dumbledore's magical strength, and Dumbledore has a strength of just over 2000. Most wizard are between 101-900, Mages being between 901-1900, and Grand Mages being between 1901-2900. Then we get into the Sorcery levels, then by 10 000, we arrive at Grand Sorcerer, which is Merlin's level in my story. So, no, currently, if Harry used potens, he'd see a number around 1000. The extra strength he has comes from the Gem that he absorbed. It is like a multiplication factor. The more years you have it, the bigger your magical core is. That is what Magical Core Expansion meant, it was referring to the gem in harry. Unfortunately, Harry having absorbed it, the gem is part of his core, until he is strong enough to remove it himself without killing himself. That's pretty far off, so yeah. Don't expect Harry to pull of any insanely overpowered spells unless the presence is in control. Hint: what happened right before he started hearing the presence speak to him. When i reach 15 reviews, I'll update again.
