Life of a Student and Birthday

Days turned into Weeks, Matthew invested a lot of time into his Magic studies and practice. He made progress in all fields including his Workout routine. He gathered a substantial amount of data for his database by spending a lot of time inside the Library,

His parents were happy for his progress and talent in magic, although concerned about the general magical society and their bigoted views. They would arrange everything for his non-magical education as fast as possible. Which happened to be already next week. With the reply to his second letter the send with the school owl, he got a parcel with all the necessary books and materials. Mastering the seventh-grade materials with the help of the AI Chip and the knowledge of his previous life was no challenge. All he had to do now was to complete and send the monthly homework back and succeed in his exams during summer break.

Matthew also impressed his teachers with his dedication to his magic studies and knowledge. He even earned 5 points from professor Snape for his potioneering skills in class. Which Is a very rare occurrence since Snape dislikes everyone besides Slytherins and is very biased towards them.

His understanding and ability to wield magic progressed by leaps and bounds. In October he already completed reading up to third-year materials and even branched into many, not necessary topics or spells. The AI Chips Database collected a wide range of information during his studies. He also completely mastered the first-year spell curriculum and started with the second-year spells while also learning many useful spells of later years. Like the summoning charm 'Accio' or the cleaning charm 'Scourgify',

Unfortunately, he spent so much time studying magic that he became a bit of a loner. He only had a close relationship with his three roommates. And got a reputation for disappearing for a long time outside of classes.

Monday, 23rd October 1989

Today was Matthew's twelfth Birthday. After getting roughly woken up by his roommates they gratulated him while giving him their respective gifts. They shared their respective Birthday just 2 Weeks ago during a nice round of 'Who am I'. Back then Blake and Matthew taught Roger and Harold different kinds of Muggle games since they didn't know much of the Non-Magical World. Both of them grew as normal Purebloods up and were a bit ignorant about the rest of the world.

From Roger, he got a copy of 'History of broom enchantments'. It's a book about the first flight attempts of Wizardkind and their development through time. Since Matthew showed a lot of interest in the workings of brooms during flight lessons, it was a nice gift,

Harold gifted him a magical notebook since he collected in one month a sizeable amount of loose parchment with notes of classes or ideas and many different topics. Even though he had an AI Chip there was a certain flair to handwritten notes which couldn't be replaced by mental ones. The notebook would never end out of pages and had a categorization and search function. It also was spelled so it could only be opened by the owner.

Blake gave him a collection of chemistry books. His father is a chemistry professor and helped him with choosing a set of entry-level books. Chemistry should be helpful for his future experimentation on the topic of potions and alchemy. Especially the scientific methods.

After exploring his gifts they prepared themselves for lessons today and left for breakfast. While enjoying their breakfast the Owls arrived for today. A large and beautifully dark feathered eagle-owl landed before him, she stared at him while holding her leg out on which hung a letter for him.

Dear Matthew,

We wish you a happy birthday. Enjoy your day with your friends and continue to make us proud. Although you left almost 2 months ago and we are busy with work the house still feels empty without you, But that's part of growing up. Hope to hear from you soon.

With love

Mom and Dad

P.S. Your birthday present delivered this letter to you and is probably currently staring at you.

P.P.S. She still has no name.

"I got my own owl guys. What should I call her?", He asked after finishing the letter.

"How about 'Black Beauty'? She is a gorgeous owl" commented Harold.

"Common be serious, mate. That's a horse name" exclaimed Blake while laughing,

"Hmm, a dark and mysterious beauty. I think I will call you Morgana from now on." Said Matthew while he petted Morgana on the head. In response, she hummed approvingly.

The rest of the day was spent normally with a few gratulations here and there from people who heard he had a Birthday. Today he decided to rest and spent the day with his friends while fooling around. They even got a cake and some pumpkin juice from the Kitchen which the house-elves happily prepared.

Friday, 16th February 1990

For the last few months Matthew continued his routine of studying, training, and magic practice. While he decided after his Birthday to focus mainly on Potions so he could raise some funds next Summer, he still progressed his theoretical Knowledge by leaps and bounds. He completed reading his fourth year books in every other subject, in Potions he reached the 7th year.

'AI Chip show me how I progressed the last few months!' he commanded mentally.

[Beep! Status updated.] [ Matthew Mason, Wizard(Rank 1) Strength: 1.3, Agility: 1.6, Vitality: 1.5, Magical Energy: 14.3, Status: Healthy]

'The Magical Energy inside my body is growing nicely. But I wonder where I am compared to my year mates. My physical attributes more than doubled.. But it feels like my progress is slowing down. Still, 1.0 is the value of an average Adult and I surpassed it in all stats while only being 12 years old. How is that possible?', he wondered.

[Based on my regular scans. Cedric Diggory possesses the highest Magical Energy value with 9.4 of the other students in the host's year. The host is comparable to an average mid-second year Student. The Magical energy inside a Wizard's body affects him on a fundamental level. Without working out Wizards should reach physical values of 1.5 - 2.0 which equals the level of a peak-human who can lift about double of his body weight. Adult Wizards who work out can reach a superhuman level of physical stats. The Limit is approximately 3.5. The host will be able to reach this level while keeping his workout routine around the age of 15-16. Further increase in the physical category will require other methods.]

'So I possess 5 degrees more Magical energy than my year mates. That's nice. Hmm to strengthen my body and magic even more in the future I will need other methods. For that, I will need to start researching. My List of research topics is growing and growing and I am only in my first year. I will need a lot of monetary funds, although my parents are decently wealthy It won't be enough and I don't want to rely on their money. It's time to raise some funds and I already know where to begin.'

He decided to let the AI Chip modify some potion recipes with the help of his wide foundation on brewing knowledge in his database. The First Potions he chose were cosmetic potions like Sleekeazy's Hair Potion and Scalp Treatment and Diamond beauty skincare. No matter where they are, looks are still an important factor in human life. Be they magical or non-magical. After a few days of processing the AI Chip completed two recipes. One skincare and one haircare potion, both cheaper but more effective than comparable products. All he needed was a review by a certified Potion Master to legally sell his products and to send probes to a potion shop to sign an agreement over the summer. Fortunately, there was a Potion Master inside the castle.
