Next day
"Ok, so this is not a weird crazy dream."
I'm currently just lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. And i can't believe this. I'm in the body of a 6 year old and I live in England. Now why the hell did I end up here? I sure as hell can't just snap my fingers and say "I want a new life" so now I have 2 possible answers for myself. One I'm crazy and I'm currently locked up and on so many meds that anything can seem real to the point that it wouldn't matter. Two it's a R.O.B . but since I am not fighting for my life, in the body of a giant robot, or staring up at the sky of a different planet I am going to tentatively assume this is just a rob who picks up a random person and drops them off somewhere else and just see's what happens. And not the kind that is a SOB. Those are the worst that I have read of and pray to ROB now that it does not change its mind to make things interesting.
So time to sketch out a rough plan on what to do and what's so special about this world and/or myself that I was dropped here on this planet, country and at this age.
Look in the newspaper and see if anything stands out.
Go to the library and check world history and if any major world news have happened e.g. Aliens, daemons or we are flying through space already.
Go back and check out that house and see why "mom" didn't see it.
Once I have figured out where I am e.g. What TV show, game or movie. I should write down everything I know in a booklet and hide it so I don't forget or someone finds it and causes me issues.
Money. yep got to think long term here money makes everything go round. So hopefully I know something that can help me make some or more so I don't have to work later in life. I am not doing another 40 years in the work force till I can retire. Bad enough at the age of 35 and not likening my job, this time I want to enjoy what I do and not care about the money.
Help my mom. Because right now it seems that my dad isn't around and there was no mention of him. And I am sure as hell not going to bring that up or some big red flags are going to go off. So I am going to assume divorce till I know otherwise. Because I sure as hell know what kids are like for 2 parents, let alone a single mom. And since I stole her child's body I have to make it up to her I some way other than being a good and nice kid for her.
"Well lets get a start to today."
After putting on my clothes for today, and going and getting ready for the day after washing up I head down stairs for breakfast.
"Hi honey, cheerios or fruit loops?"
"fruit loops please."
She pours me a bowl and sits down herself, and starts to read the paper. While she is doing that I look at the front page and notice nothing is strange on the head line just more political BS but nothing that makes me know anything new. Other than its 1990. Hmmmmm well if this timeline stay like mine I can think of a few stocks that will make my family very happy in the long run. Guess I should also map out potential inventions and stocks that make it big or flop in the future so I can get on the wagon before it even leaves the station.
"So are you going to play out in the yard all day again today hon?"
"Eh …, yea I am mom"
"Ok but no disappearing like yesterday I was so scared I hadn't seen you in 2 hours after you said you were getting your ball."
Oh shit did this kid die the other day and that's why I got his body? Now that I think about it he must have fallen down the stairs and hit his head on the concreate floor. I sure as hell had a nasty bump on it. Well now I don't feel as bad as I used to for taking over this body but still gota make my life the best I can for me and mom.
"So what are you going to do today mom?"
"Well hon I am going to just relax because I have the next 2 weeks off still and don't have to go back to work till then. But we can do something if you like?"
"Oh I was just wondering if we could go to the library later today."
"He he sure Hun you sure do love to go there."
I do? Well that solves 1 issue.
"Thanks mom."
A while later after I'm done my breakfast and put the dishes in the sink I head back for outside after my mom lets me know we will go after lunch to the library. Well since I cant do anything important right now I might as well see if I can slip away and not worry her again today.
As I slowly headed down the street less then 50m I was still seeing this house and the end and I can't understand why no one can see it. Its right here. It might not be anything special other than the tall hedge all around it but still its right here. Well guess this is my first clue as to what world I am in. if I can find out the reason maybe I can find out what to do here in this world without getting myself killed. Why would you think I am scared of getting killed its simple really. What's fun about someone who goes to a normal world and lives a normal life. Something big has to have happened /going to happen for a ROB to drop me off in this world.
As I open the door I call out "HELLO" but no one is around it seems still. Ok first things first lets head to the first room. And it looks like a living room, there are some nice couches and a shelf with some books and some odd nic nacs around the place. But what really caught my notice where the picture of 3 people smiling. Why did that catch my interest you say well 1 they were all in robes, 2 one was holding a broom and 3 they were LAUGHING as in MOVING.
"Oh shit. I'm in a harry potter universe!"
Ok need to calm down. Hopefully it's just your standard potter and not anyone of those fan fictions or I am right out F'ed because in normal HP I can try and stay in the back ground and hope the story turns into a fairy tale by not touching anything to do with plot. Because one mess-up and Voldemort rules magic UK. And if it's not standard HP I am going to have to check out everything and see if major points are still the same. Because if they aren't I could have a anything from a crazed HP running around becoming the next dark lord and master of death to he's already dead and we are screwed and I better get me and mom somewhere safe.
"Ok, calm down one step at a time. No point losing it when you don't know anything right now."
"So why can I see this place and no one else can. And why am I not getting caught for entering 2 days in a row. Hell why is the front door open." Well the last one I think I can understand because if no one can see the house then why do you need to lock it *standard wizard logic*. Ok now I really need to be careful when walking around this house because who the hell knows what anything is. Hell a pen could turn out to be a port key to the bottom of a lake if I don't know what's happening. Gahh and I can't even ignore this house because it has clues as to what this world is like and since I can see it I have to assume it has muggle repelling charms and notice me nots. And that means I am either a wizard or a squib. But knowing a ROB I'm a wizard. I'm excited about that but at the same time terrified. So slow and steady lets look around some more before I get so freaked out I can't help but run away.
So after a slow move around the house let's look at what I have discover and found.
Standard suburban house. WRONG the house on the outside looks normal but it sure as hell has space expansion charms in every room. Because no way in hell can that workshop/ library be able to fit on the ground floor.
Fireplace with what looks like a good supply a flow powder sitting on the mantel. With a sign above it that says "the retreat". So all I can assume is that's what the person has called this place in the flow network. Good to know if I have to go anywhere and get back. And it looks like I can get to the leaky caldron pretty easy this way and not have to involve mom. Well unless I run out of flow powder or something.
There were a couple of wands in the workshop but they did not seem to be "mine". Though I did get some very tinny sparks out of 2 of the 12. I guess this guy/girl collected them or something because he had even some broken ones. That or they were a klutz and kept breaking them. Hmm going to have to see the magical junk shops to get things if its easy to get wands randomly and not everyone gets them from oliveander. Yeay for me no waiting till 11.
The book cases in the library all contain your standard book of spells from year 1 – 7 from the 50's I looks like. And then there's more like occlumency but nothing on legilimes. Guess I cant win them all. No dark magic books that can end the world or turn a person inside out. Guess that means the person who owns this place was/is a light wizard. Nothing on magical beasts but a few rudimentary books. But who cares the person that owns this place has a hard on for enchantments and runes. And I mean in a big way, one book case for all that I mentioned before combined and five book cases filled with books on enchanting and runes that have looks from falling apart to pristine condition. The person has to have OCD when is comes to buying anything he does not own about enchanting and runes with a smattering of alchemy. And since I'm 6 and can't go running around casting blasting hexes I guess this is the best that could have happened. That is if someone doesn't come back. Hmmm how much does the fidelius cost from the goblins. That is if they even can do those wards for me. The books never said and the fan fic's where all over the place with goblins from being nasty evil bastards that will rob you blind. To your honor bound creature that is going to treat you with as much respect as you treat it. But they all have in common that they will do almost anything for gold. And I have the perfect way to make some gold if I need it later in life as long as I can cast a over powered accio spell.
There were 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 washrooms all where normal so I think the person who owns this place hasn't gotten around to updating them to high heaven with magic other than the master seems to have an expansion charm on it.
And finial in the basement there is a giant slab of smooth granite that's black with blue lines running through it. On its surface there's what looks like 2 sets of runes.
I would check this place out more but I have to go get lunch with mom. But as I leave I grab Hogwarts a history since hermione swears by this book on the way out.
