Ups and Downs

A lone boy stands in his balcony, drinking milk as his first drink of the day.

He looks at the table beside him seeing the paper inclipped in a hard board, his table of schedules.

Luckily, he smiled relief as there wasn't so much on it. Written there is just his plan going back to the muggle world.

In the bottom, a signature is written, recognizably, 'Philip Raizel'

Ignoring, he looks at the bird flying freely in the air. The sea wave just near, and the sound of people waking up from their sleep. It's very relaxing as he thinks his future from now on.

'It has been hell of a year isn't it?'

Year Later

Just like as he thought, the passed year wasn't just full of success and good moments. It's up and downs.

Ever since the day he made his business of producing products, starting with perfume. It took a great start with good responses.

Of course it was nowhere the level of the companies like Night, but still, it was growing good for a starter.

Why did he made that company you ask?

Of course, it was money. He needs to sustain his daily life. But not only that.

It's also for people to back him up. No one knows what might happen to him later on, he might even be crippled like his Masted Arch. So there's his guys to serve him still.

He's not overall confident that just because he's reincarnated, everything will happen according to his plans and be the most strongest just by a flick of his hands. No.

Starting from his talents, he would say it's just fine. But it's his patience maybe that stands out. And maybe also intelligence.

Well, if his company goes stronger and rise up to the level of Night, he have the people to back him up in case of something bad happens. And also, they can be his allies or servants when things are needed. The company's hiring requirements aren't just for its educational or experience, actually, it's nowhere near that. All he needs are strong ones, wizard or muggle, if your strong, your in, even if your not that smart. Because all they had to do are carry out orders, since Raizel is there to handle them as the brain, being the all rounder, intelligent and strong.

And even if they are to betray Elliot, he already had them in an unbreakable vow. Raizel, that time because Elliot hasn't tried it yet, is the one who casted it in every each one that are hired. And he himself, is in an unbreakable vow with Elliot.

And luckily, his company, named as Owling, for remembrance of Raizel's owl death after it was created, is doing good even though with its one sole product, perfume.

Elliot didn't handle the production now, with Raizel hiring the wizards that doesn't want to be associated with the wizarding world anymore, but didn't had any education in the muggle world, was taken in as potion makers. As Elliot just gave them the recipe, because it was a hustle doing batches of those vials everyday. Now that Owling is getting more bigger, he assigned for those wizards to make it themselves.

Though he's practically doing nothing now, just getting money, who cares, he's the one who brought them out from their bad acts.

Though the company is practically illegal to the Wizarding World, the guys that are mostly hired are bad guys from the underworld like Raizel, to turn into new leaf.

Raizel helped Elliot develop more products, though little help, it made things more progress faster. Things such as bathroom utilities, like soap, etc. and accessories made from the minerals that are easy to find in the Wizarding World, it was developed and still is being improved until now.

But then, even with its good success, of course there were competitors and sabotaging companies. They try their hardest to kill Ownling's reputation. Make rumours and all. They mostly order for spies or assassins to kill Raizel, the known CEO of Owling, but they don't know the CEO himself is from the underworld. And also, there's the workers that before are underworld guys, who backs Raizel's up. They don't even need security guards because the workers itself are strong enough to secure the company and themselves.

Elliot now can easily say that his company definitely can be recognized by most nonetheless with no partnership, or help from other companies, growth with its individuality. Despite the small crew, only about 35 people in the company, yeah, 35 people, unbelievable, but half of them anyway are associated with magic, so they can literally multi task, and the others are the one associated with the underworld, so they also can multi task themselves. How there's wizards working doesn't bothers them also as they're under the vow.

Well, with each of them having about 1.5k payment for a week, the company earning 75k a week, Elliot almost gets 1/4 of the money. And now almost turning to 90 real quick, He's rich as hell now.

So is that enough to say he's in a good state right now?

Not like he can use money to earn his way up to Hogwarts and the Wizarding World, but connections exist. Maybe he can be like Night and also expand his company to the Wizarding World also. But still..

Thats good enough right?

Mostly for a kid himself..

Enough of that now, Elliot finishing his milk got inside his house, yes, house. He's wealthy enough to have a house obviously.

Its just a two floor building exactly just for a person. It's minimilastic and looks pretty humble and warm. It has a total of five rooms, one big ass master bedroom, one bathroom, big kitchen that he rarely use, living room, and then a special enhanced room with a silencing charm and strong foundation. It's a room where he train himself and also mostly studies spells that can destroy a normal room. It's located in Hogsmeade, Highlands of Scotland. Moving into another was pretty troublesome, but there's his butler-like assistant Raizel to manage everything.

Going to his bedroom, he looks back to the balcony where the schedule paper is placed onto the small round table accompanied with one chair and a tea pot above the table beside the paper. Pointing his index finger acting out as a wand, he says the majectic word of his.

"Accio!" He exclaims, the paper immediately going into his hand in seconds.

He lays it on the study desk that he had for studying of course. Within this year, he managed to train the spells he knew in the past perfectly. As he said before, there's estimated amount of 20 spells learned in a year in Hogwarts. But only 10 are required to be mastered by the end of the year because not everyone is gifted like Hermione or Harry. But of course, everyone can learn what they want. Hundred of spells in a year be it. Dark or not, evil or good.

In his case, in his whole seven years of learning in the past, he managed to learn all 70 main spells that are taught, but can only cast 50. It was probably below average, as you can learn actually 140 spells if your working as a fine student. Hermione probably learned over more than three hundred spells, well, again, not all can be casted or mastered.

But that all changes for him now, most charms are just basic if they aren't hex or jinx, so him learning those didn't really took time. Maybe some months mastering all.

When it comes to jinx and hexes, he still learned a lot, but not mastered a lot too. But even that, the spells he focused at are crucial and not just any spells. So it's pretty adequate and alright.

He tried non-verbal and it can be manageable, he managed to use it for few. Please, doing wandless is already enough, so mixing it with nonverbal is pretty good as hell.

He probably knows more than hundreds now, unlike before, but then again, not all mastered but most of them are. And that's enough as he's doing it wandless, one of the hardest things to do, non verbal even.

He tried doing Expecto Patronum, but his memories didn't seems enough. There was no memories yet that is so happy he can cast it.

There are a lot of things that are fun to have, like being an Animagi, and all, but he guess the knowledge is the limit. He doesn't know how to do them.

He didnt try dark arts, as he doesn't even know how to do it. There's rarely a book out there that you can have that explains it. But once he gets to Hogwarts, one thing he will do is go to the Library Restricted Area and isolate himself there learning.

But a thing he can boast is his mind art's and simple magic. It's considerably doing well, he can now read most minds of the people. Exceptions for those really trained once. It did surprise him when Tom, the oldy goody innkeeper, is able to counter his legilimency. And it wasn't even because of Occlumency, but it was Tom's experience being a wizard. So he had to take that into account.

But Occlumency became his next priority, there's Snape and Dumbledore that can read his mind by just staring into him. Pretty bad but even though he hasn't mastered it overall, only close, he can at least hide the knowledge that he's reincarnated. God Dang thank heavens for that. Simple Magic is relatively doing well.

He can now cast a ball or any shape there is, but ball is easier, continously in both hands simultaneously, as long as his magic reservation permits him too. He can customize it in his own will, be it a fire, a water, or earth. He mostly use its natural form, just energy, as its damage is pretty well already.

Elliot looks back, realizing he's all prepared for Hogwarts now. He doesn't even need to go to classes to learn. He knows most potions, the charms, transfiguration spells, and DADA spells. He will basically just use Hogwarts as his stepping stone for his plans.

He goes to the living room downstairs, switching the calendar to its new date, August 4, 1981. Only a month to go eh?
