Chapter 9 - 8: Magic is Amazing.

Now the tutors were hired and the next years of mine were very fruitful.

Within a few months I completed the Calligraphy classes, where even the teacher fell back behind me as my works were much more precise and accurate than compared to his. The Ettiquete teacher was my uncle himself, so he took weekends to teach me table manners and stuff and obviously clothing sense, because mine was terrible.

Now, for my classes:

Starting with Spellcasting there wasn't much, the tutor just showed me wand movements and pronunciations, but I on the other hand did something wonderful. Due to old books, I learnt that wands are basically just a way to direct our magical energy for spellcasting since it's extremely difficult to do so wandlessly.

First I found out that a wizard goes through magical maturities, where the cores grow stronger, according to which, I've already faced my first magical maturity, which is normally at the age of 11, but mine was early due to all the rituals.

Now I practiced the spells learnt wandlessly and after a while, I could do simple spells like the conjuring, the summoning, Lumos, cutting or slicing charm (diffindo) which over a span of 3 years reached the level of a post O.W.L.s student.

Moving to Herbology, how it helped cure a lots of things, how to use it offensively and devensively and mostly...for potions.

For Herbology, I with the help of Arcturus cleared a small region of the forest near the house and also near the lake and made greenhouses, where I liked to take care and grow many plants like Aconite, Asphodel, Dittany, Puffapods and many more, from which I managed to grow some Devils Snare and Mandrakes.

Now for Potions, oh boy, I loved the art, I had sleepless nights, and boom a potion fixed it, nearly dead? Fixed. Too much sleep? Fixed. And all it takes is one sip. Now the horrific thing is I used to concot so much that the potion making area at home wasn't enough so Arcturus decided to make a wooden cabin nearby the greenhouse near the house as my potion-making haven.

I realized that, during all this, my adapting abilities did help me a lot, when I used to get poisoned, my body generated its own antibodies, and fought it.

The basic subjects went on, and then the tough subjects started after around 2 years.

Ancient Runes was my favourite. It just needed some runes for anything to become fire-proof, extra strong , weightless or literally have endless storage. This I made sure to complete more than Owls level within the next 2 years. It took me a while to decipher and read runes, but soon I got the perfect hang of it.

I imbued this Ancient Runes on the weapons I forged with Uncle Arcturus, and boy, I loved my toys.

Arithmancy was my next favourite cause I could break down any spell and make it more faster, effective or reduce the time it takes to take effect. And what do you mean I can even use Lumos offensively? This definitely was fun. Though it took me time to understand the subject I effectively made my own notes on various spells and their improved variants.

One day, my During my Potions Project ,struck me an idea, so , a very fine day, I asked Uncle if I could go to Diagon Alley for potions ingredients.

He agreed, but only if I took Jack to look after me.

I nodded, and we both did go to Diagon Alley.

I brought the ingredients and head to Gringotts, and I made Jack promise me to not tell whatever I was going to do .

I successfully managed to, with the help of a Goblin named Winger, make a deal with the Goblins to sell some rare herbs at a low rate but a huge amount and transfer the earnings to another vault, with Jack being the overlooker of it, it was approved. I strengthened the bond further by asking them to invest in Muggle companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google , by converting our currency to pounds, then again converting pounds to our currency upon return ,and they'll get 10% of the return.

I returned home with a pouch directly connecting with my vault which stored rhe money.

In a few weeks I got good news from Winger the buisness was booming.

My plan was set, I'm going to build a good hard name in this world.

Now, 3 and a half years were over, I am nearly 10 years old, my tutors were cramming me with whatever knowledge they had with them, just because I was too good with the subjects, and finally, I closed the tutoring thing.

I then worked on myself, improving daily, magically, physically and emotionally.

Because according to my calculations, I was damn sure, just like my first maturation was early, at 11 years old, I would be having my second maturity. Which usually Aurors and Hit Level Wizard Cores have.

I didn't need to complete all the books of the library now, so I just moved important books from each subject from years one to seven in synchronised movable shelves that I made, with the help of Runes in my room.

Right now I was confident I am atleast O.W.L.s level if not more , due to the amount of time I've spent on magic.I can perform most spells from year 1 to 3 wandlessly, silently. Potions were my second nature.

Physically I'm more sturdier and have some definition of muscles due to spending time with Arcturus in the forest and playing with my Thestral- Wingblack , time to time.

Arcturus practically and theoretically teaches me about magical creatures and it has already given me more info than a 6th year student.

All creatures, harmful and harmless are friendly with me and I know how to deal with any creature, discovered.

I look at the sunset from the greenhouse as I'm tending to the magical plants....as I wonder, if Kathey is out there, and if she's happy.
