Chapter 10: 11 years old, First maturation

It's been 3 years. Three whole years since I started the game.

My mother has been trying to force me to cough up my potions recipes. She offered me to get out from the marriage contract, and she also threatened that my sister would marry Draco Malfoy, and I didn't give in.

Like why would I, I have a way to avoid magical contracts.

I even released new potions into the market. More advanced age reduction, mana increasing potions and so on.

I changed the world of potions from what it was known, using cheap ingredients to make op potions.

The world has hailed me as the greatest potion master alive. Also, I didn't sell these potions in Britain due to what happened, and every time I released a new potion, the Ministry would get stampeded by people to apologize to me.

But they never have. To be fair I want them to apologize to me in public in front of the entire world. The best I got was a letter from Umbitch, which I swiftly gave to the Daily Prophet.

'Dear Mr. Shawn, I am writing this letter to you to highlight to you that I was only doing what I thought was good for the Ministry and our Magical community. The only reason I asked for those recipes is so with the Ministries better resources we would have been able to help more people.

I sincerely hope that at least now you will see your wrong doings and hand over all your potion recipes which is rightfully the Ministries for supporting your family this entire time.

I hope to receive word, and the recipe formula's from you soon.

-Dolores Umbridge'

I was laughing when I got this message. I mean she had the audacity to say my hard work was the Ministries rightful properties.

I bribed the daily prophet here and there and was able to make them publish an article which condemned the ministry.

'MINISTRY CLAIMING WORK OF ALL HARDWORKING WIZARDS FOR THEMSELVES

Recently, the greatest potions genius the entire magical world has ever seen, has published his fourth set of revolutionary potions. From helping people to live longer, and helping wizards to get stronger, and selling his potions at dirt cheap price, he is the embodiment of selflessness and righteousness.

And the Ministry of Magic has the audacity to claim his work as their own.

(Then they kept the letter Umbitch sent to me as reference)

According to Dolores Umbridge, said by the Minister to represent him, has claimed Shawn Markus work as their own. We at the daily Prophet are ashamed to say this type of people are leading our government. Instead of supporting young and upcoming geniuses they claim their hard work as their own.

We at the prophet feel ashamed that the Ministry was unable to put their pride aside and assist the young genius, which comes from London itself. If this keeps going on, others will continue to reap the benefits of the genius, while we at Britain will get nothing.'

The article goes on for about another 500 words.

There is a reason I chose not to sell in Britain. After my first year at Hogwarts, when I release something extra ordinary, the Minister of Magic will be forced to fold.

After studying and continuing research in potions for all this while I feel that I have done everything I could in this venture of Magic. I mean I could probably create much more with potions itself but Magic is such an interesting concept, and potions itself has gotten boring for me.

My next field of research is Astronomy. How cool is being able to read the future?

But there was a problem. I have actually reached N.E.W.T level in all Hogwarts subjects. Like everyone of them, and my family Library doesn't have the necessary books to allow me to get to my Masters. Hopefully Hogwarts will.

It's pretty boring now. I mean, what am I supposed to do? At the mere age of 11 I am probably the smartest person in terms of Magic, or at least reaching there. Hopefully the Percy Jackson world of Magic has more for me to learn from.

The only thing that holds me back is my magical core, which has already gone through its first maturation. Taking mana increasing potions and meditating near nature helps a lot.

There was a problem though, my stupid book won't flip to the third chapter. I already mastered chapter 1, which is Mind Magic, occlumency, and chapter 2 ancient ruines.

I also realised that the chapters titles can be misleading. It said beginners, but I am pretty sure that I am the smartest person in terms or Ancient Ruines and even if Dumbledore tests my mind defences, he wouldn't even get through the first level of my thousands of layers or defences. Pretty sure I am set as long as I don't mess with a god.

Also I have been trying to make a Phone. A magi-phone. That's why I needed my arthimency to be at masters level. I have rough ideas, but I cannot rush such a massive project.

So that's all for the three years. It was kinda boring, spamming knowledge from everything and anything I could get.

I even read all of the thousands of books in my family library, so I don't think anyone knows Wizarding Laws better then me.

I also got my Hogwarts letter. Usual stuff, wasn't really that excited, they didn't have anything to teach me.

You know sometimes I regret using my wish to understand everything really fast. Gets boring without any challenges.

And now that I went through my first core maturation, as long as I can get some practice in, I could possibly duel with the professors.

By the way I was able to see that, first core maturation is something all wizards are at, usually people can never break out of it.

Second core maturation are people like my parents, noble lords.

People who are almost at the third core, so called half step third core (LOL cultivation reference) like the professors in Hogwarts can fight normal second cores easily.

And then there is third core, and form what I can tell, only Dumbledore, Grindelwald and possibly Voldemort.

But it doesn't mean that with a more mature core you can cast better Magic, it just means you have more mana.

People who don't work hard can't get strong, that's normal. Unless your dad's the god of the seas, or you get bitten by a werewolf.

Sigh, I can't wait to go to Hogwarts and stop just studying, just going to relax a little till then.
