The spell I've been tossing around is designed to destroy completely. Immune to magical attacks or not. I'm calling it Summa Exitium. Right now, I'm explaining the spell in basic detail to see if I can convince Albus to let me borrow his wand.

"I've come up with a new spell that I made myself from scratch. All the theory works out, and now I need a wand to test it. Would you let me use your wand?"

Albus looks at me with a piercing gaze. I don't intend to tell him the full extent of the spell. That shall remain my secret.

"What do you know of The Deathly Hallows..."

All I know is the symbol for The Deathly Hallows is identical to the one on the back of my neck. There isn't much about The Deathly Hallows except for old stories.

"I know you're responsible, but there is nowhere around here to conduct a test of your spell safely. If there were, I'd let you use it with my supervision just to run your tests."

So that's a no.

He uses the only hole in my plans that I couldn't find a fix for.

I can no longer read his thoughts. His Occlumency is too strong, but he doesn't look disappointed in my rejection of his request. He looks at me with understanding.

"Enjoy the few years of the regular life you have left. Once you start the road to being a wizard, you'll have to leave this muggle life behind."

He gives a small smile knowing the meaning behind my words.

I've come to learn something that only I know about Alexander. He has a special connection to The Elder Wand. As I'm its master, I can see its will.

When I look at The Elder Wand's feelings for Alexander, it's a connection I've never seen before in the wand.

It is a fierce loyalty that it only has for Alexander, yet it still obeys me. I can't fully understand the complex nature of the wand or its strange connection to Alexander.

Once I uncover more about him, I'll probably find the answers to many questions.

I say goodbye to Albus, and the long party for today ends. I retire to my room as the kids play and make noise.

The gift Albus gave me is an old book. The owner of the journal is... Albus Dumbledore... I immediately turn to the first page and see it's a journal on research for his projects when he was attending Hogwarts.

Talk about something that'll be full of knowledge. I read the first few pages and notice it's an enchanted book.

One that never runs out of pages. He has notes on specific classes and spells he learned through his time at Hogwarts. I read detailed diagrams and charts. He has lists of spells he has modified slightly and run experiments on.

Both successful and unsuccessful.

"This is the best gift ever..."

Having a personal journal like this from the strongest wizard ever to live is fantastic. I don't know why he gave this to me, but I appreciate it.
