End of school year, along with secondary education

Wow I'm going to be 9 soon and going into further education next year this will be interesting. It helps that me and Hermione have come up with telepathy … well maybe not true telepathy more like legilimency then we concentrate at each other while starting into each other's eye we can go into our mindscapes and bridge them. It's like 2 calm islands with a small stable bridge connecting them. I can go to her in my astral form in her mind and she can come to mine. What's nifty about this is that we can trade books. That means she can read what she likes and I can read what I like and we can trade. This might make you think that we both know the same stuff but that's not true. The thing is knowledge is great but if you don't know how to combine it with ideas or have some inspiration it's just knowledge. A dictionary does not make a great novel. But what is does is it helps us understand each other when we are talking about what we find interesting and for bouncing ideas off each other. I would say this is more of a sudo telepathy legilimency trick/spell. We have still yet to find a book on it so this is our variation. Because of that my house now has a wall all around it with rabbits jumping in the yard. Why rabbits you say? It's because no one expects the rabbits especially the Rabbit of Caerbannog! I would love to see what happens to Snape in my mind muhahaha. Hermione has taken some ideas from me and protected her mind with mice. 1 mouse does nothing but a swarm will eat you alive. From there we have hidden things and added more traps this is just the basic first line. I figure you want someone inside before you attack them not just let them get away scot free. Best to lull them in and then attack.

As for the TK with all our training through the year it has now become something a bit more dangerous. Why you ask is because we discovered by putting TK on the nose of the planes to make them harder to damage the other planes, they could also make the TK field sharper. So now both me and Hermione can fly 6 planes each and keep track of them but also make their wings sharp and are using them to cut each other's planes in half. The more I think on this the scarier it is because the plane is not cutting its our minds and we are just using the planes as a visual indicators of what we are doing. If we get any better we could start removing body parts off people if we get strong enough and it will all be invisible. Thank god Hermione isn't a psychopath or I would be dead and anyone else she wants. But as of right now we can only cut foam not bones. But I could still blind someone… ok leave those thought to use on our enemies or "bad" people. More I think on it I could go for jugulars….. Ok time to really stop coming up with ideas to cripple and maim people, I don't want this training to be about that.

Next I should mention our Krav Maga classes. We are still going 3 times a week but now on Sunday me and Hermione go full out for as long as we can. We are doing this because I noticed with my sight the more we use our magic to flood our systems the more the spider web threads glow, and more are appearing at a slow pace. As of right now I think we both can take on a full grown man when going full out. Not a trained solider or black belt or such nonsense but a normal adult male with light to no martial training. Our bodies can go full out for at least an hour if not a bit more. As of now we are going by hours and not minutes to time it. We are also trying to use it all the time, as long as we can every day draining our cores to about 15% and letting it get to 90%. We never let them get back to 100% unless sleeping and this has done wonders for our recharge rate because we fill up so fast all the time now, then compare to the beginning where we had to wait a day. Also when looking at our cores they look brighter and slightly larger than last year. I don't know if the core is holding more condensed magic or if its just that hard to grow your core. Maggie tells us we have the core of a person who is about 20 years old. I guess theirs grew by doing harder and more taxing magic's at school. But we won't change and will keep doing what we have been doing because I have seen no downfalls to this with my visions.

The only weird thing is that both me and Hermione with the use of her vision both are operating at a higher temperature then normal people. By higher I mean 2°F, that doesn't sound drastic but it puts at a temperature that make people believe we are running a fever. Also this is making us eat more red meat and fish that we did before. It's a good thing Maggie can go and buy and make food for us. But this is slowly draining the galleons that I have to start with and I need to pay for the first year of school because I don't want to be in debt to the goblins. Hermione doesn't need to worry because her parents are 2 dental surgeons and make a lot of money.

What I have been doing to think of a way to make money is to build a small homemade induction furnace. It is very easy to do, it just uses a lot of electricity. But this house has lights but never a bill so I am going to assume that the electric company can't bill what they can't find. I will be done tomorrow with building and should see with a thermometer how high it goes while testing the galleons.

As for runes we have started playing with them by building our own flying sled. We got an old wooden sled from Hermione's garage and we have engraved the same runes from the broom on it. We can get it to float and move but it takes a lot of power to do it. It must have something to do with the gem but we have yet to look into it. The good thing is that we made it do what we wanted to. Now we just have to make it work with less magic. Also we plan to add a trunk to the back (we don't know how to make those) and walls at the sides so no sliding out along with a wind shield that's if we need it by going fast enough. We might need to buy a better broom and find the differences between the old clean sweep and say a clean sweep 150.

For our eyes Hermione has now gotten to the point where she can pick up traces of magic from where we have been. That's no good in my eye, we need to start and learn to suppress our magic. Can we even do that? Well just one more thing for the board. As for me I can now look through the skin and remove idivitual groups of things as in muscles. I can see in a person and not see their skin and muscles. That still leaves me seeing there nervous system. Veins and arteries, bones and organs and much more. I feel I still need to get better and be able to remove more from my sight but this is helping a lot with my medical studies. Also I have it been trying to make the magnify spell work at the same time with no luck still.

So all in all it was a very productive year again in my opinion. Just I still find it weird that Hermione still sleeps in my room. In the past 2 years I don't think we have gone a day without seeing each other. Not that I'm complaining because it's fun to be around her and we research and try so many things that it's never a dull moment. She has turned into my truly best friend from both worlds. All I wanted to do was save a girl from a lonely life and not get married to a lazy, jealous boy with disgusting eating habits. I hope she has a much better life now (as long as toms gone and we don't have to run).

Next day.

I had just finished my furnace and me and Hermione are standing way back in the back of the house. I have a very heavy duty extension cord going to it. If anything happens to it or the gold we should be safe.

"Ok Hermione you know the drill if anything goes wrong just run."

"Yes yes I know but we checked it and everything is fine with the furnace."

"I know but who knows what will happen when we try and melt the gold. We already know a flame spell on it won't melt the gold. They even told us that at the junk shop when we asked if we dropped some in the fire place. But right now we aren't using a fire place or magic to melt them as I assume the goblins have predicted what wizards would use."

"Yes I know all this and also that we can't drain the magic from is because we don't know how or if its possible."

"Well it has to be possible. Remember everything is possible its just getting there that's the issue."

"Yea I know Mark."

As we turned on the furnace I have a digital meter reading the frequency that the furnace is putting out. I kept raising it till I was at 350kHz and then from one moment to the next the gold went from solid to liquid as if flipping a switch. We must have put it at such and extreme that it broke whatever spell the goblins had on it. That's good because I only had a range up to 370kHz or we would have had to give up.

Time to weigh this gold, after I poured it out on a piece of granite to cool. When cooled the gold looked smaller than the coin. I guess it was hollow and just made to be bigger to fool people but we still got 2g of gold at today's market in the paper we are looking at around $20. I just need to remember to buy as much gold in the year 2000 when it's at its lowest, at $270 an oz. because in 4 years it doubles in price and by the time 2012 comes around its 6 times as much as in 2000 at $1600 oz. Hopefully by then I can have the stone and make my own with lead. Here hoping we at least get 15$ for the gold after the pawn shop takes its cut since it's pure. I take another 10 coins and melt them all. I will need a little but not a lot to sell the first time. With lots I will get stolen from but with this much I can expect a decent rate because it's not just 1 gram.

After this we go out to the pawn shop Maggie pops us to. We both go in and after a while of full of lies we get the gold sold at a price of $14.50 a coin. We are very lucky we could get this, so in the end we ended up with $160.

I have came up with an idea for trying a different rune system. But first I want to find out if there was a way to learn languages in the magical world. So we head to Diagon Alley and look around, finally we head to flourish our go to store and ask them. They let us know if you go to the ministry on level 5 there is the magical travel and port key office and they can help us there. In Diagon Alley there is a ministry entry at the other side of Gringotts. Me and Hermione in our robes head there and go to level 5. When we meet the ministry worker we tell him that our parents have sent us here to learn about port keys pricing and magical ways to learn languages to prepare us for the future. We act all snooty just to make sure he doesn't ask us our names and where our parents are. By doing this I think he believes we are pure blood siblings. We then get the run down on port keys. htey need to be ordered a day in advance by an adult and they are 20g each out of country and 5 in country. As for languages they can give us language memories that we can put in a pensive and relive the classes at 10 times the speed of doing it outside the pensive. But that costs us 150g per language. I ask if they sell pensives and they say they sell basic ones that only show 1 memory at a time then it has to be removed and replaced with another. And they don't have a projection feature. They sell for 1000g. After thinking about it for a few moments I say yes and we want Russian, French and Japanese.

The reason I want those 3 are for the fact that French and Russian are good basis to know in Europe and I could get around anywhere as long as I know English and those 2 languages. The Japanese on the other hand is what I need to test a theory on. My theory is that a rune language is just that a language. But the reason it works is that it has had so many people believe what the words mean. So that when you "think" you know what your inscribing your just making your magic imbue the rune with that property. And even if you don't know what the word means when you try and power it. It doesn't matter because when it was carved the person doing it had an idea of what I was meant to mean along with let's say the world believing for so long that they mean that. So that should mean that any pictographic language as long as it doesn't use letters as English does should work as a rune language. The reason for this is because "A" doesn't mean anything only when it's added to other words does it means something. But "強 "means a little over, a little more than, powerhouse, one of the biggest, one of the most powerful, strong. Sure it has many meanings but in the end it boils down to strengthen. Now if I experiment with kanji and kana that are the 2 major writing languages in japan I think I can get more out of runes then before. The reason why I don't think anyone else is doing this is because Japanese is considered the most difficult language in the modern world. Because of this I think it will take a long time for me and Hermione to get a solid grasp on it.

Few weeks later

After me and Hermione had gone through more of the French lessons that morning. We decided to go to the park near us and goof off till lunch. We just wanted to have a nice relaxing morning after going through those lessons. They were very boring even with our improved memory it was going to take a while. We had decided to do French first as it was easiest then Russian and finally the hardest being Japanese. While we were swinging on the swings and just relaxing and looking around I had been cycling my eyes like I normally do to strengthen them and reduce mana cost over time I saw a girl playing in the sand who had long straight black hair with Asian features. But what caught my attention about her was that I saw a small jelly bean sized core in her. Not as big as mine was when I first started but about half the size. She looked our age. I didn't know her but considering the fact that we don't know anyone our age anymore that means nothing. I looked over to Hermione and she was staring at me because she knew I had noticed something.

"Mione I need you to look at the girl over there in the sand with your sight."

She did and when she realized what I meant she jumped off her swing mid swing and went over to her. I had to jump and run after to catch up.

"Hi there" Hermione said.

"Hi..." she said in a small voice.

Oh god not another one I thought to myself. Are all magical muggle borns shy?

"What are you doing?"

"Just playing while waiting for my dad to come get me."

"Why aren't you here with your friends?"

"…"

Oh fuck no it's happening again.

I guess I should take over for Hermione because she's starting to look sad and looking at me. I think she realizes what's up and wants me to save this girl too from loneliness. Arg why can't I turn down puppy eyes of doom? Those are illegal and when the hell did she learn them. Is this just common knowledge for girls? I have one who looks like a whipped puppy and another giving me puppy eyes.

"Hi my names Mark and this is Hermione."

"… Hi…"

"Do you want to play with us?"

"… You want to play with me?"

"Yea why not?"

"But… you don't know me?"

"So is that a problem?"

"No it's just that no one asked me to play with them before."

Oh god it is another Hermione!

"Well let's go back to swinging again with us."

"Sure."

We stayed till 1 pm and we were getting hungry and we finally asked her where her parents where. And she told us that it was just her dad and he's usually busy and must have forgotten about her. I asked if he does this often and she hesitantly nodded to us. So I said fuck it in my mind and dragged her to my house with Hermione trailing behind with a happy smile. I think she knew at that point I wasn't letting this girl go also and she was going to get another best friend. After we had a lunch that mom made us, even Halley (as she told us later when I just plain asked her what her name was) ate a lot. We went up to my room.

"Halley, do you not get to eat a lot at home?"

"My dad doesn't eat breakfast and sometimes forgets about making me some." She said as she was looking at the floor while we were all sitting on my bed with each girl beside me.

"Does he forget you a lot?"

"Yea, mom left us when i was 4. I don't remember her all that well except that she was tall with hair like mine. And since then dad has been sad and has been working a lot and coming home late. He normal just leaves me something in the fridge when he remembers for dinner and money for lunch at school."

Oh fuck no this is a Luna / Hermione story she's going through.

"Do you want to play with us when you have some time to yourself?"

"… You want to see me again…"

"Well you do live around here don't you? And Hermione's my best and only friend. We could always use another one."

".. Yes I live around here, and I would love to have a friend let alone two."

She doesn't have any friends?!

"That's great to hear, we are going to have so much fun together and learn so much!" Hermione's shouts.

"What do you mean?"

Hermione whipped her head around and gave me a look that said "you explain!".

"Halley have you ever had anything weird happen to you or something you can't explain?"

"Well promise you won't laugh at me. But when I was a kid when my mom was still around, I wanted a Barbie with black hair not blond. And the next day I found mine, well I think it was mine and it had black hair. But that's the only time something like that has happened to me."

"Well you might not believe me but its magic."

"…."

"Here I can prove it."

I then levitate the foam plane that I had a couple of off my desk. I then have it fly around her head and let it fall in her hand.

"….."

"Now you believe me right?"

Hermione has a giant smile as she remembers her first time with Mark.

"Wow. Just wow."

"I know right. But you can't tell anyone."

"Who would believe me in the first place? I will look crazy if I start spouting off about magic. So does this mean I can do that too?"

I then go in on the facts about the magical world and the dangers and the prejudice in that world. I then go on to tell her what me and Hermione have been doing to train and also some non-important things that won't matter if she lets slip. I then call Maggie and ask her for the wands so I can do the same thing I did to Hermione. Maggie never shows up but a box lands on the bed. Halley is confused as to her I was talking to the room, but I ignore it and begin handing her wands finally the 9th one sputters. I tell her to do it a couple of times while trying to feel the feeling that is being caused by the sparks. The reason there's so little sparks even for her age is that she has such a small core I would assume she would be a squib or near squib in the pure bloods view. I then tell her for the next month she has to get that feeling to spread in her body while trying to calm her mind and meditate. I don't want her to do anything with it yet because it might cause problems for her since it's so small. But what I think I can do is strengthen it and expand it still with her doing this and once it's a bit bigger we can get the mindscape done and me and Hermione can give her all our knowledge books and let her incorporate them into herself over the year. There's no way they will just incorporate that fast, especially when this is all so new to her body. But before we go any further with her we had her call her dad, to let her know where she is because we don't need those issues. I later found out her dad just said ok and wanted to know where I lived. Her dad then ended up coming at 8 at night to pick her up.

End of summer

Well it's the end of summer and we have a new friend named Halley Snow now that's over every day like Hermione. When she came back the following day we decided to take a chance and show her the house and Maggie. By the end of summer we had her practicing trying to make a mind scape and working on that during the school year. She might be the same age as us but she was at the proper grade for her age. We told her it wouldn't matter because once in Hogwarts we would all be together and we would need to self-study, so when we got out we could go to university if we wanted. The only reason me and Mione where jumping ahead was because we were so bored it was the only thing to do, and might help us later in life for applying for scholarships when going to university. She asked if she had enough magic to go to school with us and I told her about how ours have grown and developed and our exercises and as long and she doesn't slack off on them she should have a large enough one to get a letter when the book notices her magic at her 11th birthday. Even though she got tired so often after her meditation to strengthen her core she kept doing it and said she would do all these exercise even at school. We told her that she didn't need to go that far but she would here none of it. I think she was determined to end up staying with us because we were her only friends.

Even on the final day of summer vacation she said that she wished she could spend more time with us since we go to different schools. And Hermione had the great idea to open her mouth and tell her about how she should just come over and sleep here with me and her. She looked at us with wide eyes and said "how". Hermione then proceeded to tell her about what happened at first and how good it felt to sleep with someone and she never got nightmares or had a bad night sleep. That was the start I think of a bad thing because she jumped at the idea with no reservations. So now it seems I am going to have 2 girls sleeping in my bed with me every night. This is going to be sooo bad when puberty hits. As of right now there just 2 adorable 9 year olds, but I already know how magic helps the body so they will have a good chance of being lookers later in life. Because Hermione doesn't look like the movies and her hair isn't as curly I can see a resemblance to her movie star but I think the flooding of her body with magic has changed things for the better along with us working out. The big thing is she never had big front teeth. I can only assume that since she doesn't want that her magic made it so her body would not let it happen. Now I can only assume what these girls feel is a natural beauty and they will be subconsciously be letting their magic change parts of themselves. I already am happy for myself not to have to worry about zits and stuff because of it. I assume I will reach my old height of 6' because I am/was used to that height and looking at people from that height. It's still weird for me to look up at everyone. Not much happened this summer after we met Halley because we were trying to get her up to speed. So we didn't go to Diagon Alley or the pawn shops some more just mostly stayed at the house and talked and did language lessons so we could stay around her as she did core exercises. But we did convince her to get her dad to start her in Krav Maga at least. She's not at our level but that's just time and practice.
