Early years (pre Hogwarts)

1848--

Our house feels a bit crowded with my parents and grandparents and two younger brothers.

Sirius is an active kid, the four years old was always full of questions which made me a bit irritated but it's supposed to be normal for a curious kid.

Well, I guess any reincarnated person is not going to be a normal kid.

It will be ten years since my rebirth, so next year my life at Hogwarts will be starting, the Black family has been loyal to Slytherin although I can join Ravenclaw like almost every reincarnated child.

The magic in this world is present in everything, even in muggles and squibs and non-magical animals, magic is the lowest present in muggles and non-magical animals, the squibs have magic in them but they cannot use it or rather they are not connected to it and consider that they are generally kicked out of the family or send to muggle orphanage there descended are muggle-born, so it kind of makes them a member of the family which kicked the squib out.

Magic is also present on the Earth or the ground like geothermal energy it comes from the core of the earth towards the crust of the earth from which it seeps into the soil forming the ley lines which are basically massive underground River of magic that at some point intersect to form a hotspot of magic magical animals and creatures like humans, dwarves, house elves, giants, goblins, hags, veelas and vampires, they all have some magic inside their body which recover afterwards.

The magic used in the form of a spell, runes, ritual or any other way leaves a residue.

Which overtime makes that place magically active place like Hogwarts, the castle is built upon an intersection of let lines as well as has been active for more than 800 years so it has been saturated with magic from the forbidden forest, black-lake to Hogsmeade.

The castle itself is density saturated with magic as its students, staff and magic used to make the castle should have been enough to make it a hotspot, hence the castle is a perfect place for young witches and wizards to grow.

The ministry is also a dense pack area filled with magic even though it is under London city.

It was the analysis given to me by skill 'SAGE', next year will be an important period for me as the magical ability of the child starts to grow immense at 11 years of age, it is the reason why most schools don't start teaching children before 11.

Currently, I am sitting in the living room with Sirius and our grandmother Magenta black listening to my grandfather Licorus black rambling on about pointless and useless legislation brought up by the minister of magic.

Getting bored Sirius was finding it very difficult to not fall asleep.

"grandpa can you tell me about how we get sorted at Hogwarts" I interrupted grandfather fully aware of the hat.

"ha.... Hogwarts aah, well sorting is supposed to be a secret till you arrive at Hogwarts but it is a very wonderful sight don't worry we will be arriving in Hogsmeade village by floor network, and from there you and your classmates will have a carriage reserved for the first year students after that you all will be escort by the deputy headmaster to the great hall where the sorting ceremony will happen."

Taken by surprise I almost shouted, " where are the famous Hogwarts express, platforms 9 and ¾ at king's cross station " almost, keeping calm and thinking about it the station should be built around 1840-1860, maybe because I have not gone in the muggle side of things, I am not aware of any current situation in the muggle world.

Now that I think about it I have minimum contact with anyone my age only ever going to play with the other heir of Ancient and noble families, aren't I a spoiled brat? Well.. Whatever not like I want to be head of the house I'll just push Sirius or Phineas into it.

Though my finance will suffer if I leave my house I'll have to find a source of income, and maybe I'll just steal some gold and silver from France and Prussia it's not like muggle policemen can catch me nor France or Prussia's ministry of magic will detect wandless magic if I do it with 'SAGE' it won't leave any magical residue that can track me back here.
