Survival, it is one of the most basic instincts of almost all living beings. And to survive the need for adaptation is greatest.

The guy that invaded my body survived through some sort of journey to arrive at mine. But, to survive, he must have adapted to the environment that he crossed. And the void energy as I come to call is sort of adaptation to protect his soul from erosion in journey.

Anyways, First things first, I need to do something regarding the chores, the time wasted could be used for something productive.

I have a few options, either I use the time to practice Occlumency while doing the chores and slowly improve to the point i continue with only instinctive level of awareness, which I got from a fanfic of this world or I master confundus type or notice-me-not type of accidental magic slowly.

I figured i should try and do both. I will also focus on only few topics of magic. No one especially teachers who are trained to teach are unobservant. So rather than try and access magical world to learn something I will eventually learn from Hogwarts and stand out later, I figured I will just focus on mind magics and harnessing the accidental magic and trying to test it's limits.

I could take full advantage of the Room of Requirements, however limited it might or might not be, to accelerate my studies.

I should probably summarise the foreknowledge to plan and to find what advantages I can find.

By comparing all the jumble of memories regarding the different versions of the world i.e., fanfiction, few points remain mostly the same.

The few constants are locations of the Horcruxes, the sorcerer's stone, the Marauders map, the Chamber of secrets, the Hallows, the Goblet of fire and the Quidditch world cup in the same year, the Umbridge episode and the Hall of Prophecies attack, the Half blood Prince part and the death of Dumbledore, however sketchy the last one may be, the hunt for the horcruxes and the final battle.

The things I can fully take advantage among them without great risk to myself are the ROR before the Umbridge episode, the betting pool at the world cup with Krum catching the snitch and his team losing, the chamber of secrets if I can imperius a snake after the whole Basilisk debacle, the attack on ministry to pillage whatever I can in the department of mysteries and the ministry as a whole, the Snape's book, and the final fight at Hogwarts. The rest are too risky especially the sorcerer's stone, while some would consider it easy I'd wager any one who lived as long as the flamels, considering the average life expectancy of wizards is 150 to 200 years, is no fool to gamble their lifeblood.
