Chapter 4

So it's been a month and what have I got to show for it. Well let me tell you. During the first month of summer vacation I have only done one thing and that's occlumency. People would think that it would be easy but nope, it's damn hard. The reason for this is that I have to feel my magic and direct it to my brain while I try and meditate. Do you know how hard it is to try and think of nothing while trying to move something you have never used other than the feel of it when I touched those wands, its damn hard. Now I understand why this is suggested later in life and not given to kids. They would have no patients for this and the long run benefits that come with it. Hell I didn't think this had anything to do with magic that much and that wizards where special and could do this mind stuff. Well that's a nope because from what I can guess from this is that your forcing your magic to do something like wandless internal magic that is on all the time and its adapting your mind into a different configuration.

But as of right now I have finally gotten past the point where I am in a complete void of thoughts and I am sitting in nothing. Makes no sense but that's because I actually have to build a mind scape and they are not just there. The book first says that I have to think of a setting or place that I feel protected in. "hmmmmm well this sucks" I can't think of anything cool like a bunker or anything like that because I don't have the layout in my mind.

After I sit in the back yard meditating for another hour I come up with something I do know of a rough layout that no magical will know, that I can expand on later.

The HIVE.

So it's now been 2 weeks since then and summer is over soon. Sigh. But I have much to show because as of right now I have my new house that I found sitting on a hill but when you go into the master bathroom and open the cabinet under the sink there is a very large opening that I can walk through by dipping my head coming into a elevator that goes down into a basic construction that I am sure to fill later on with more stuff of the hive from resident evil. And I have also added in defenses at the vault same as the movie and some other things to make it impossible to get to my memories. I plan to keep my memories and a backup of my knowledge here but also keep a copy of my knowledge throughout the hive just to distract people if they can even find their way in here.

After I had gotten my mind scape done it was very scary the increase in the speed that I could read. But the problem was that I kept having sore eyes, and then having to have a lie down. Well I guess that's good because my mind needed to subconsciously go over everything so I could understand what I read. But then I had an idea that has spurred on some other things. I remember in harry potter that his magic helped heal him and other such. So I thought that what happens if I tried to send the magical feeling to my eyes when they were sore. Low and behold they felt better really quick. And that lead to the next logical question if that worked why should I wait for my eyes to hurt so I sent magic to my eyes while reading. Now there is where things got a little broken. My eyes never hurt again from reading fast and I started to be able to read faster not by much but a noticeable difference. So yet again moving magic around I shoved it to my eyes and brain at the same time to see what happens. At this point I was starting to feel exhausted and I think it had to do with the amount of magic I was moving around and splitting it to two places. But and there's a big but here I made the jump from 1 book every half hour to 2 books every half hour. Now to me I can start to understand this is game breaking because I just made myself able to read at double my fastest pace and with no strain other then my magic is getting low. As of right now I have what feels like magic forever lightly moving to my brain all the time. I assume its to heal or fix my brain from the increase in knowledge that I am accumulating so fast now. So I don't think I am going to be casting fire balls from my hands anytime soon and am going to have to wait for my core to grow bigger. And in this universe there seems to be a magic core for the better or worse . it feels like its located to the right of my heart as if I had 2 hearts. One for blood and once for magic and its feeding my brain from it right now. It doesn't feel that big no more then a grape in size but I am guessing that's because of my age and as I grow so to does the core.

Over this time I have gone over the first year books and some science books from the library. The reason for this is that first year books are booooorriiinngg. So I changed it up a bit by going library and reading some science books, to you it might be boring but I wanted to know how some things worked and see if I knew more from my time in my future so as to compare .

Over the summer I think my mom was a bit worried because I didn't see my friends. The only problem is that I didn't know my friends and things might slip worse if I see them so I did the not seeing my friends and only a little worry. I think I have to make myself some friends or I will go crazy with just me and my books.

Well it's the first day of school of year one. Yeay I am so getting out of here as fast as I can I don't care if I am referred as a prodigy or genius or stuff like that. One good thing from that is if I'm strange no one will notice.

But here is the thing, I met someone, and I don't know if I should do something.

The person I meet is Hermione.

Now here's the problem. She's all alone and no one is hanging around her and its only year 1. I completely forgot how mean kids can be when there young. She just sat at the back of the school yard at recess and reads a book. But the issue I was having was that if I change things she wont be the same Herminie and help harry and if that happens before I even know what HP universe this is if I can even figure that out.

But there is already an issue she's in my grade. That makes no sense she should be older so now I'm worried because I have not read a universe at this time point in the time line. Sooooo I'm very tempted to help her. Hell, just show her my house. I say my, because no one has still showed up over the summer so I'm going to say there dead, in jail or forgotten about.

But I'm stuck right now what should I do…. fuck it. I can't let her have a crap life till she is 11 and then in the end get so desperate for love that she goes for Ronald Weasley. Seriously no one should have to end up with that guy. I have no idea if that actually happens in this world or JK did it just so he would have someone because in reality no one would want a lazy sixth son of a poor family who's goal was to play on the worst quid itch team in the world. But I guess I should wait a bit more to see if she makes some friends because really she must have some idea on how to make and keep friends.

Fuck! It's been a month of me just watching her and see how things go for her. And I can't stand it.

Did her parents not teach her any social lessons or did they just shove her into a library and forget about her. At least she's not always raising her hand. That must have been drilled into her later in life. Right now she's just this shy thing that does nothing but reads in the corner or reads outside or just try's to be invisible. If someone talks to her (as rarely as that is) she just mumbles and looks away. That is not going to make any 6-7 year old like you and want to be your friends. Honestly her parents should take away her books when going to school to force her to interact. Now I understand why she said she didn't have any friends in school. If this continues she's not going to be even able to talk to anyone our age. Gahh I have such a huge feeling this is going to be annoying in some way to break her and make her into a normal person. Hopefully after that she can get some more friends and become normal and still help harry later in life (I hope).

Ok here goes nothing. I walk up to her during recess and try and talk to her.

"Hi there, my names Mark"

"….." she just looks as me then turn away back to her book.

Oh god this is going to be sooooo long.

"So what are you reading?"

"Are you going to try and take it?"

Wait what? Oh god damn it she's already getting bullied and having her books stolen.

"Umm no, why would I?"

"Because everyone does."

Wow she's not giving me a lot to work with here.

"Well I'm not, I like reading too."

"…. You do?"

"Yep. What's your favorite book?"

"Magician by Feist."

Sweet she already likes magic.

"Whys that your favorite?"

"….. No reason"

Hmmmm time to try a leading question.

"I like that series. I just wish I could make things move when I wanted it to."

"…..yea….."

"I mean that would be so cool to be able to do that or see that."

Come on just tell me something. You're a seven year old, you want to show off.

"I might be able to do that." She told me in a quiet voice after looking around.

"You can?! Wow, can you show me?"

"You believe me? That I can actually do that? Why?" she asked in incredulity and in a small voice.

"Of course, why not? You said you could do it so why would you lie?"

"But no one believes me."

"Well I do or are you just having dreams because you're reading that book so much?"

"What? No I didn't dream it"

"See then I believe you. You love that book because you think it can help you do more magic am I right?"

"How did you know? My parents don't even believe me. That's why I am always at the library so I can find something and prove to them I can do it. Though, I have kind of stopped trying to show them because they never believe me about it. They just said if it was something high up it probably just fell down because it wasn't put away right. It makes me so mad that they won't believe me. I'm starting to think it's not real and they are right. I can't find anything on it in books so I must be wrong but I don't want to be wrong."

Hmmm must be the starting of when all her major social problems start. Like the ones where books are always right, adult should always be listened to and such. Gota nip this in the bud so she can't actually think and not just regurgitate a book word for word.

"If people don't believe you that doesn't mean they are right you know. That's how we learned new things. At one point the people thought the world was flat and then someone thought it was round and didn't stop thinking that till he proved people wrong and that he was right. So I think you should keep believing in what you see and think until you are proven wrong and not just told."

"…. I …. Thank you. My names Hermione."

"It's nice to meet you. Do you want to go play?"

"… Sure…"

So threw the rest of the day I kept bugging her with questions after questions. They were not some philosophical questions they were the kind like. Do you like football? Do you have any pets? Where do you live. And I kept pushing her to just play and not go back to the book she had on her. This continued on for two weeks before she asked me questions and not just being shy. In my mind that was kind of quick but I guess from me pestering her and being her age I broke threw her shell and got her to open up to me. She still doesn't talk to anyone else but I figure that it will take time and she will grow into a normal person before Hogwarts. Because it's very early and it takes time to change someone.
