CHAPTER 2

when I got home I quickly shut myself in my room, I immediately wanted to start practicing some spells, but I managed to stop myself, I couldn’t just start playing around randomly. I had to be prepared, after all I might already know what will happen in the future but that doesn’t mean all the good stuff is going to just get dropped at my doorstep.

Now here is what I know, the year of my admittance will be the same year harry potter gets admitted, and we usually get our letters some time in advance with the time and location of the Hogwarts express. I also know that the Dudley’s are a bunch of a-holes who will abandon their house when the letters come, forcing Hagrid to chase them all the way to that abandoned little shack. And best of all I know that Hagrid will be going to Gringotts to take a very special thing out of vault 713.

Now I could try to break into the vault myself but that would be waaaaay too difficult, not to mention risky, I mean even if I am successful, if someone managed to see my face I would be in deep shit.

I could also try to bribe a goblin, but I could easily get stabbed in the back, plus who would offend the Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard alive just to help some kid.

I can’t disguise myself as Hagrid as I do not have the key to the vault. So, I only have one option left, steal it from Hagrid, lucky for me he is a pretty shitty wizard. I mean seriously he might be an amazing gamekeeper, you know taming a hippogriff, a three-headed dog and an acromantula, but spell wise he is pretty much shit.

Robbing Hagrid is pretty easy but the problem with this plan is that he will be surrounded by people in diagon alley which means I will have to do it very discreetly, I also can’t be too direct for the very obvious reason that I will be going to Hogwarts that year and well I wouldn’t want Dumbledore to know I stole from him. And lastly, I will have to replace the stone with a fake, I can’t really have every Hogwarts teacher looking for the stone since it will be on me.

There is a simple solution that last problem as the doubling charm can create an identical copy of anything it is casted on. The spell is not perfect a the magically created doubles start to deteriorate after a few years but since I already know that the stone will be destroyed after the death of professor Quirrell I don’t really have to care about it.

Needless to say, stealing the stone and replacing it with the double without being noticed in the middle of the street is pretty much impossible, however there is another alternative which is to just take it and alter Hagrid’s memory.

However, there is no way in hell I can pull all that off at my level, so I will need to start practicing as fast as possible.

….

Okay so here’s the thing, if I want to be get the most out of this world I will need to start thinking long term, okay so ultimately, I want to be immortal right, I mean who wouldn’t. But I don’t want to rely on something as unreliable as life elixir, and I certainly don’t want to spend all eternity stuck in limbo as a flayed mangled body so horcruxes are out of the question too. I have a few theories of my own, but they are a little unconventional and the research will require a lot of money. Now sure I have a lot of gold in the bank at the moment but if I don’t have a source of income I will end up poor later and that would be annoying because let’s be honest money might not be able to buy happiness, but you feel a lot happier on a helicopter than on a bike.

Now to make sure I had enough money I had to ensure I had a good source of income and I had to arrange it now, before the trace gets put on me.

My plan was to go to the muggle world and invest in stocks I knew would rise like crazy, like Microsoft, apple, Samsung and others, however this plan had a tiny little flaw, my body was six years old, so there in no way in hell anybody will take me seriously. However, like pretty much every problem, there is a spell to solve it.

Okay so nobody in their right mind would believe a six-year-old would really be able to buy stocks right. but what if they weren’t in their right mind?

The plan was pretty simple, I just used dobby. Last year for my birthday had asked for a house elf because I was tired of having to do everything myself and having a servant makes things just so much easier. The Malfoys didn’t really care as they already had a lot of house elves working in the manor. Anyway, long story short I had dobby come with me to the bank and cast a confundus spell on one of the employees there, making her think I was some twenty-year-old man. Afterwards I just had her open me an account and fill it with money, the money in a bank is not really there, its just a bunch of number on a ledger so it was pretty easy to forge, afterwards, for safety’s sake I had dobby steal money from another bank and bring it into this one just in case somebody wanted to snoop around. I then just did the same at the stock market and bought a lot of stocks.

….

Now that I had an income I could get started with the important stuff. Before returning home, I passed by diagon alley and bought a lot of potion ingredients. I had already memorized the copy of most potente potions, so I already knew exactly what to buy. I absolutely need to learn how to brew Polyjuice potions otherwise I would never be able to buy the things I really need without exposing myself to a lot of danger.

I mean can you imagine some kid walking into Borkin and Burkes to buy some dark artifacts and getting home safely? No way in hell I would make it home in one piece.

I then went by Flourish and Blotts and bought the books on the Hogwarts curriculum from year two to seven. I also bought some advanced transfiguration books and a book on protective charms.

…

When I got home I immediately casted a protective charm on my room, it wasn’t a particularly powerful charm, but it was okay I guess…. Okay I lied it was pure shit, any first-year student would be able to easily break it, it was pretty disappointing. But it was okay I mean I had zero practical experience with charm, besides I wasn’t really in any danger in Malfoy manor anyways and if I actually succeeded in putting up a really powerful barrier it would pretty much be the same a screaming “I HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE!!!!!!”, and well let’s just say that it wouldn’t be in my best interest. I would most likely end up with an armada of house elves observing my every move.

But even thought the charm was pretty much garbage it prevented people from knowing what I was doing in my room and I would immediately know somebody was coming when it was broken. For now, that was the best option I had if I wanted to be able to work in secret.

Anyway, I spend the next two years or so practicing spells and memorizing the Hogwarts curriculum year one to five, I know it may sound like a lot but really it isn’t, I just concentrated on charms, transfiguration, magical theory, potions and defense against the dark arts.

I completely ignored history of magic, astronomy, muggle studies (pffffft why would I even bother with that), herbology, arithmancy, care of magical creatures, ancient runes and divination (I am going to study those things at Hogwarts, away from prying eyes), flying, alchemy, apparition, ancient studies, art, frog choir, ghoul studies, muggle art, music, orchestra and xylomancy.

So yeah again it seems like a lot but really, I just learned what really interested me. also, seven years may sound like a lot but if you think about it students didn’t do shit at Hogwarts. I mean if you take seven years and substract all the vacation time, all the pretty much useless courses I didn’t study, and all the time Harry, Hermione and Ron spend just running around on their little adventures well you Should be able to finish studying these select few courses in about a year and a half so really, I was a little behind schedule.

And no, I know what you’re thinking but I did not spend half a year just fucking around, sometimes you have to spend some time with the family you know, I mean you can’t just spend a year and a half isolated in your bedroom and expect everything to be alright, I spend at a month or so doing nothing…. Because you know… sometimes you just want to sleep in and do nothing all day and stuff, I mean I’m just a human not a machine I can be lazy too sometimes. I just love house elves, sometimes I just spend the whole day in bed and whenever I was hungry I just had to call, at one point I almost forgot to work. Luxury can be very dangerous sometimes, but I digress.

Anyway, during those two years I succeeded in brewing a good batch of Polyjuice potion and I was finally ready to start the next phase of my masterplan.

Using the floo network I went to the diagon alley, I then drank the Polyjuice potion after entering knockturn alley. I used a lock of hair I picked up in a barbershop in my potion so as to not draw attention to me. I mean can you imagine if I used Lucius’s hair, my god can you imagine the shitstorm that would follow if some guy from the ministry of magic saw me disguised as Lucius buying some dark arts related artifacts.

Anyway, I went to Borgin and Burkes because there were some things I absolutely needed to get before I went to Hogwarts.

The first thing would be a Hand of Glory it was absolutely essential for me to have it for a very simple reason. The most dangerous books at Hogwarts are hidden in the headmaster’s office, these books are going to be almost impossible to get most of the time but some other books that are a little less precious but still very important are put in the restricted library, and people never go there, sure old man filch may be patrolling once in a while but as long as he can’t see me everything will be alright.

The thing about the Hand of Glory is that, if you give it a candle, the light will only shine for you, so no matter what you will remain unseen, that coupled with a dissilusionment charm will make reading books in the restricted section much easier.

And the best thing is that said hand is the only thing in the wizarding world known to be able to find its way through Peruvian instant darkness, so it basically is a must have if you want to safely explore the restricted library at night without getting caught. Now obviously I would rather not use the powder as it is pretty much the least discreet choice but it might still come in handy.

The third Item I needed was a bogart, and here’s why. If I am to go to Hogwarts I absolutely need to master occlumency because I just know waaaaaay too much about the future to be safe otherwise. Now sure people do not go around reading people’s minds for no reason, I mean I’ve been living with death eaters for about eight years now and nobody has read my mind yet. But when I get to Hogwarts the first thing that gets put on my head will be the sorting hat, and that thing has to read your mind to be able to judge in which house to put you.

So, if I do not master occlumency that hat would immediately know what I know, and you can bet your ass it wouldn’t hesitate to tell Dumbledore. also, he would then know that I have his philosopher’s stone and well let’s just say that the consequences would be dire.

Now the only way to master occlumency is to let someone else read your mind and then try to resist, but nobody succeeds the first time and the whole point is to make sure nobody can actually read my mind so that option is out.

And that is why I need a bogart. The way a bogart works is that it reads your mind before finding your deepest fear, so I just have to keep letting the bogart read my mind until I am able to block him.

Easy right?
