The Begining.

Darkness. Utter darkness all around. And wetness, add to it the impossibility of breathing and lack of the need to do so, and you have a partial representation of how it is to be a fetus.

Konrad was at the moment cursing himself for not making sure, that he takes over AFTER being born or at least at the moment of birth. Being awake and aware of yourself while you are still in the womb AND having extremely fast mind is simply traumatizing.

What in reality was only a few days, to our protagonist felt like a month of nothingness and helplessness. And the worst part? For some reason he couldn't even fall asleep or anything so he could make the time go faster.

At first he tried to plan his future moves, but there was not much he could do before he could at least walk with his new body. He tried to recall any detail he could from the books and movies but thanks to his eidetic memory it only took him a few hours. Then he had a great and stupid idea to recall all the school knowledge from his past live.

It was a great idea he thought at first.

The knowledge would be very useful and save him a lot of time, but with the knowledge he started recalling all the grief and suffering, that made him the antisocial person he was before dying. All the stupid things he did that marked him as the class clown. How annoying and blind he was. Al of it made him really depressed. And he would stay like this if not for a small light that one day that spread over his face and the feeling of movement.

He was born.

And with the sudden lack of the overbearing darkness and his first breath in this new world, all the depression disappeared replaced with happiness and determination.

'Never again' he thought 'Never again would I act like an idiot just to gather attention. I will become the best version of myself, find friends and love, and live my own adventure...well maybe not completely mine...hehe'

All this emotion flew trough Konrad's mind, in the end causing him to let out a small, cute giggle as the nurse from sant Mungo's held him in her hands. He didn't even realize being ,,cut off,, from his mother still deep in self comforting thoughts.

"It's a healthy boy Mrs. and Mr. Potter." Said the nurse. She handed Konrad over to the woman, that Konrad recognized as Lili Potter. She had beautiful green eyes, and red hair. Her smile while she hold Konrad in her arms showed unconditional love. Konrad could just imagine the emotion alone stoping a killing curse.

"How would you like to name him?" Asked the nurse.

"Konrad...Konrad Potter." said James while he caressed Konrad's little head, while sitting beside Lili.

'What?' Konrad thought.'Why Konrad and not Harry, not to that I complain' he thought but then shrugged it off 'Well it's probably gods own input...Huh I'm so sleepy, wonders of newborn body I guess' those were the last thoughts of Konrad, before finally falling asleep after the trauma of being born.

——————————-

Few hours Later.

Konrad woke up and the first thought that came to him was 'Huh an unfamiliar ceiling.'

He was laying in a cradle wrapped in a blanket. As soon as he started moving his head to look around he was picked up by the gentle hands of his mother.

"Ain't you a smart boy. Not a minute outside and you already have your eyes on everything around you." She said lovingly. Konrad realized that it's true, doesn't normal newborns have their eyes closed for some time after birth? He must be more careful or someone might start suspecting something.

"Here drink up little one"

A newborn body was really weak. Even moving his head was really hard. So when Lili raised Konrad to feed him he couldn't stop it. Not like he had any choice anyway. 'But boy she does have nice bo-NO this is your mother Konrad, don't even think about it' were some of the things in Konrad's mind the first time he was breastfeed.

The Next month was a mix of sleeping and breastfeeding. It took him a week to get used to breastfeeding and three weeks to actually sit up while slowly increasing the time he spend awake.

Every other day there would be someone visiting. Konrad recognized Sirius black, and even Minerva Mcgonagall, but he slept trough most of their visits (cursed body of a newborn!!!). They were actually already in the hiding, from what Konrad overheard the house was already under Fidelius charm, and whoever visited was a trusted person... heh maybe not Pettigrew, Konrad didn't like him from the moment he saw him. Why did Konrad's parents trusted him more than Lupin was a mystery. He looked like a typical Traitorous rat (pun intended).

Today was 1 September 1980. First day of school for many and a normal day for many more.

Konrad was now sitting in his cradle, it was morning and his parents were still sleeping soundly. He decided to try and feel magic. Something he was looking forward to from the very beginning but couldn't do with him being a newborn. But now he was one month old, and he remembered that in his past life he read on ,,mother Wikipedia,, that you are a newborn only for the first month. And he could see that. Now he was awake almost all day with the exception of a short nap. He had time to experiment.

At first he tried to feel anything in his body that would resemble magic, but he quickly realized, 'what am I even looking for?' There was no magic in Konrad's original world so he didn't know how it should feel, and the descriptions from many novels and Fan-fictions didn't help. Thankfully he still lived in a magical household. There was a carousel that spun over his head non stop with no visible motors or anything. There was only one explanation, MAGIC.

At first he didn't feel anything. Wherever he could he would sit and try to meditate under the carousel. Then suddenly after a few days.

'There's something!!' Finally Konrad felt it. It was really weak, but it was there. A tiny almost unrecognizable feeling wherever he touched the carousel. The feeling he didn't get when he touched anything else. The Magic.

Day after day, wherever Konrad was alone, he would sit in his crib trying to meditate and understand the newfound energy. He discovered that he had it also inside of himself and if he focused enough he could force the energy to move. It was a really slight movement but it was there nonetheless. He started practicing what he called magic manipulation, and with every new day, it came to him easier than before.

But there was a downside to it as well. No mater how good he was in simply moving it inside himself he realized that the amount of magic he had, wasn't changing at all.

There were a few options he had. He could simply wait for his magic to naturally grow together with his body, or he could start doing actual spells. The first option would come no mater what but it's to slow for Konrad. The second option was what interested Konrad, but there was a slight problem. He would need to perform wandless magic. And he didn't even know how a normal spell casting worked.

'So I guess, there's only one thing left to do..."LUMOS" Konrad tried to use the most basic spell he knew and of course...nothing happened.

'I guess it's time to grind' he thought.

If someone looked trough the window, he would saw a weird sight of an infant sitting with his finger right in front of his face, every now and then saying ,,lumos,, to it, as if it was going to reply to him suddenly.

—————————————————————-

Konrad's POV

I was saying ,,lumos,, for the last hour and nothing happened. Why? Because I wasn't using intent? No I focused on what I wanted to achieve very much. Then maybe because I didn't... use ...magic? MAGIC!? That's right if I push the magic into my finger and connect it with the intent and spell word then...

"LUMOS!!!"

My fingertip lit up like a small white diode before I lost consciousness.

———————

"I did it!!!" I shouted when I woke up the next morning, the I realized that mom was seating nearby with a potion book in her hand.she must have been reading it until I shouted. Now she was looking in my direction with a weird expressions. 's#*t what now... oh I know!'

"Di di di da da da "Giggle"" I made the most innocent baby sounds that were similar to the ,,I did it,, from before, which seemed to work cause mom started reading again. 'Jeeeez, it was my first slip like this, but don't judge me... I did magic right?!!'

'Now to see how much magic I have now.

What?! It's as if all my magic practically doubled in quantity!!! Awesome!!! I wonder why it increased so much, but it's probably going to slow down at some point. Doesn't mater now. What's important is, I did a spell!!! It might have been really weak but I not only did it wandlessly but also as a tree months old infant. That is something.

Now the only thing left is to practice...

//Author's thoughts://

I think I prefer writing in Konrad's POV tell me what you think,

Also some people might say that there was many novels like this one or that I stole an idea from somewhere, I'd like to mention that there is over 800 000 Fan Fiction of Harry Potter at FanFiction.Net and I read many of them so you would find similarities no mater what ;)

Anyway Luna best girl❤️

tell me if I should make it a trio with Hermione or not and if I should use soul bonds or just love ;)
