As one person pointed out they seem to jump all over the place. But this is just me doing info dumps on the years that nothing important happens but training, with small snippets on important parts. I will be doing this to get through boring / training times, to just make sure that this does not turn into 500k of words of Mark, Hermione and Halley just walking around or them sitting and meditating.
I am doing it this way to keep the ideas coming and if I ever want to expand I can go back and rewrite this with more details. I want to keep my ideas coming because I intend for it not to end with year 7 of Hogwarts. This will go on hopefully for many years after that for Mark. I don't want it so he just buys and island and put his feet up and drift off to old age with a wife and kids.
Also I live in North America so it's a bit of me trying to stay with British idea's right now while he describes being there. Only ever been to England as a layover on a flight.
And now back to me throwing words at the computer and hoping someone other than me likes it.
Done with the first year of Further Education.
Well this year is done and we killed it again. So next year right before we head off for Hogwarts we will be finishing our further education making sure that we have paperwork available to enter university when we want. Also me and her have gotten letters from Yale and Princeton hoping we will join them and not to worry about what we want to study. Well this just made my parents and Hermione's day to say the least.
On the topic of Halley, she still spends every night with me and Hermione. They even have their own sides picked out in bed. Hermione has my right and Halley has my left. And in the mornings I get giant hugs from both of them as a wake up. I have grown used to it now to the point I don't want to give it up. If they still want to in Hogwarts I am going to have to make it so that we are all in Ravenclaw. The reason for this is our own rooms. With the rule boys can't go to the girl's side it means that they can come to my room still every night and there will be issues. Hell if possible we could have Maggie still transfer them to my room. Also Halley managed to make her mind scape and after that we helped her set it up using our island mindscape idea and also dumped our knowledge in her knowledge library. But the one thing I am proud and happy about is that she was religious about her core training. She now has the core it took Hermione to get in 2 years in one year. All I can attribute that to is that she wasn't flooding her system she was circulating it like in Xianxia novels. Since then we have all done that and there has been a growth in our core size along with the channels we flow them through. I hope I don't have to worry about getting hit by lightning later on in life. Halley only has farsight and magnify on her eyes but she did also send it to her ears so she can hear better. Only issue there is that she keeps wincing when something loud happens. I'm sure she will solve that eventually.
For TK me and Hermione are at the point that we have 15 planes fighting and we have progressed to balsa wood planes. The more we work on this skill the easier and quicker we are progressing. I'm sure if we only went for weight we would be on a 10lb bowling ball. But I want all 3 of us on fine skill not brute strength. Brute only gets you so far and is too noticeable. I want all 3 of us to be as low key as possible at Hogwarts. I don't want us to be number 1-3 students. Or magical genius's or next coming of Dumbels. I have told the girls that in the magical world we need to be ghosts till we are out of school. In the muggle world it's ok because that's how you get power. But in the magical world that notoriety gets you death threats from pure bloods and laws enacted against you. Hell they may even try to marriage contract us off because Dumbels is all of the muggle borns magical guardian. So low key is best and if we need to do something, obliviate and Polly juice at the same time so no one can know even if they can reverse obliviate. Also we will be leaving in our 5th year right after owls. We don't need NEWT's because we aren't working in England. If needed for some reason we can get it later. I am getting us the hell out of there the quickest we can and if that means we take our parents then so be it. We can always say we are going away to university after Hogwarts like any normal kids and for 6th and 7th year we lie and just hide in another country and come back to see them during the summer. I have talked this over with the 2 girls and they understand my worries and they said as long as we can provide for ourselves and get higher education then they can agree. Thank god they listen to me when I start ranting about England's magicals so I don't have to prove why we need to get out. They still want us to find more friends to take with us. I tentatively agreed only if they swore an oath not to betray us or our secrets to anyone through any means magical or mundane. They asked why I didn't do that with them and I told them I trust them. That was a lie because what sane man is going to tell 2 girls that sleep in his bed he doesn't trust them and you need a wand to make the oath. But after knowing these 2 for so long as long as I don't outright make them want to get revenge on me I can't see them telling anyone. You get very close to people when you share your minds so much as we do.
As for the money issue I have melted half of the galleons I had to started with and sold it all for around $300,000 after all the different pawn shops we sold to get there cut. Then the goblins took there cut of 12% for transferring the cash into the account that's set up for Umbrella leaving 264,000. The goblins didn't care about where the cash came from because I'm sure they have their ways of washing it. But since they took cash no questions asked for only 12% I began to think on that. I figure if I want to do something crazy if I need cash I can always rob the drug dealers of their money. I could care less about their drugs and just take the cash. Lol if I wanted to cause issues I could take a phone from one rival drug dealer and leave it there when I steal their cash. And if they fight it out I could take the other persons cash when he's out and I'm sure I could start a few drug wars that way. Can't make life too easy on the drug dealers. But that will have to wait till I have a want and can cast a "notice me not", "aloha mora", "acio" and maybe "disillusionment" on myself. But I will have to have Hermione with so we can make sure no magicals are involved. Goblins take your money, but for what they do they make your life easier. So even with their prices I think I will always deal with them and not snub them. Just no vaults because I should be getting interest not pay them vault fee's. That's why when I get the knowledge on how to cast a Fidelius I am buying a gun safe expanding the inside and casting it on it in my back yard shed and putting the safe in there. No one's going to look for a fidelius safe in the shed of the property. I bet if magicals ever came they would think it was a broom shed. That reminds me I should put some brooms in there. Well all this goes up on the need to learn and do lists.
We found out about what the gem does on the broom and why the sled did not last and was week. The inscribing instrument that most magicals uses putts a minor layer of silver on top of all the carvings. This helps because silver seems to be magically conductive and helps when charging the runes. Otherwise if you just carved them say with your wand or a knife you would have to charge the piece they're carved into to charge the rune. This would cause a lot more work because magic does not flow as easily into the runes from where its being directed into the piece to where its carved into. The reason why the broom had the runes full of silver was that it was acting as minor tap that was getting charged by a magical being close and leaching from them a minor bit to keep the enchantment going. And as for the gem that was the biggest surprise. It acts as a magical storage. When we looked closer there was a thin line of silver running from the gem to close to all the runes. The silver in the runes is drawing from the silver in the lines that draws from the gem. The gem does not hold a lot of power since its so small but I can bet a gem the size of a ward stone under the ward stone would make a massive difference to the ward stones power it has to draw on.
We did change things up with our magical sled but this time made one that was wide enough for all 3 of us to sit in side by side. We even put in some comfy seats with a lap belt. So now we have a wide sled that we can sit in with a front thick Plexiglas window. With walls and windows all around and roof. In my opinion it looks like a shuttle from the old star trek show, just reduced in size for kids. In the back we have a nice trunk that can hold an easy picnic. We have silver engraved into the seats and 2 gems near the runes that are hidden under where the trunk sits. For now it still hasn't left the back yard for test flights but it will when we can find out how to do disillusionment runes and muggle repelling. Also need to find out if there is a rune to block radar or we are going to have to always fly close to the ground not going above 45 meters.
Finally with the cabinet we took it all apart very slowly. We found carvings with runes all along the 12 sides of the rectangle on the inside of the cabinet hidden under some quarter round. Along with the runes filled with silver there was a gem in all 8 corners. All the silver lines where also hidden under the quarter round. As we looked up these runes in one book from the Travers family, it referenced another book, and lucky we had it and it was on the creation of these cabinets. I was so thankful I had Maggie copy or take their books. The date in the book said it was from the 1400's. They referred to them as emergency escape cabinets. They were to be set up so that if anything happened then you would jump inside and end up in a safe house till the threat was over. So now during this last school year the three of us are going to try and build a number of these, but just as boxes with doors. At the start of the next year I will start shipping them all over the world where I want to go and explore. Just need to have them dropped off at safe places.
All through the rest of the summer all 3 of us just play , do core exercise the way halley learned and look in the books from the travers more thoroughly. Near the end of the summer we learned in a book how to make expanded trunks with wands and runes. The sad thing is it uses them both so we will have to work on this if we want it only with runes. I'm sure by the time we figure this out we will have our wands. I still want it all done by runes so even a squib could do this. I have planned so that when we get our wands that I will get a holster that can hold a wand and a shrunken trunk. That means the trunk we make or buy will need to be able to shrink by runes and not wands. Because then we can carry all of our stuff on us all the time and if any emergency happens we can just get the hell out and not worry about our stuff and just run. Preferably I will have another escape box with a Fidelius on it that only us 3 and Maggie know about. This is so we can head home whenever we want, and can get out of the school if stuff goes to the crapper since I have changed some major things. It also lets us have weekends at home and not at Hogwarts so we can still continue our projects. And with that topic we should come up with some wards to place around the rooms to stop snooping and eaves dropping. Also add wards to our trunks so no one can get in if we are unconscious and can't stop people from getting into our stuff. Hopefully also some blood or magic signature recognition and intent wards.
