"Good morning Henry, what are you reading?" asked Padma.

"Good morning Padma, 'various charms and their effects'. I got it from the library. It has a nice narrative," said Henry.

"I think you should study the theories of magic first. Remember, most of the spells we learn we should be proficient in," said Padma.

Henry rolled his eyes and said, "I know Ma, I was just curious". Padma smiled and started eating her breakfast.

Henry had been talking to more people since he had taken full control. Even though he was mentally older than them, he had decided to talk and be friends. Ever since he came into this world, he had been trying to push everyone away. After the moment of realisation, he had made different decisions.

He would not exist in this world only for his goals. He would live as he pleased. A month had passed since the moment of realisation. He started to talk more with his peers at home. The reason for this was that he was no longer afraid of developing emotions towards people. He accepted his feelings, accepted who he was, and decided to change.

Because he was in a different world, he did nothing but set goals and work for them, as if he gave up living. This was not living. He did not need to take a break, he just had needs as a human being. One of these needs was socialising.

In his past life, such a need had not affected him. This time, it was different. Henry needed it in his identity. It was fun talking to children. Eleven-year-olds had so many ideas and were so easy to fool. Henry made a lot of little jokes as soon as he could communicate. The students at his home knew he had lost his parents. At first, they were very sensitive to him. When they realised that Henry was not sad about the loss of his family, they thought he was over his sadness.

As the jokes increased, they began to reciprocate. Little jokes became a pastime for the first graders. It brought them all closer together. Henry was pleased. He had stopped seeing everyone as his enemy. He was beginning to fit into society, but he had not forgotten his goals.

He still played sports regularly, explored the castle, and practised magic daily. Although his goals had not changed much, the journey to reach them had changed. He used to prefer to get away from everyone and move alone. He was no longer bothered by people accompanying him and would not push them away if they could keep up with him. Although he hid his abilities, he did not hide everything.

His physique had changed noticeably in the last months. Everyone knew he played sports. In flying lessons, he showed off his skills on a broomstick. No one doubted that he would be on the Quidditch team next year. He hid his skills in magic, following the majority in lessons and practising on the third or fifth try. If you asked anyone who knew Henry, they would tell you that he could read very fast and had a powerful memory.

When Henry read a different book every hour, his friends reacted differently. At first they made fun of him, but when they learnt that he could read and remember even very thick books in an hour, most of them envied him. Although some of them were happy for him, the jealous ones were more numerous. If only they knew, the situation was completely different. Henry only needed to glance at the pages.

Jarvis would extract the content of the pages from the memory, arrange them as a book, then analyse them, and then integrate the information into the memory and imprint it into Henry's mind. With this method, Henry could quickly learn magic and its theories, its logic, its workings. Henry had not created Jarvis for nothing. Although he didn't have much magic and power yet, he had a very powerful tool.

In the last month, the exploration of Hogwarts had also accelerated. Henry was continuing his exploration even during the curfew. The reason for this is that this curfew is so-called. Most of the upper classes were visiting the castle at night. Henry had created his own Hogwarts map with the materials he bought from Diagon Alley as a security measure.

He already knew how to make the Marauder's Map. It was not very difficult to make his own map with some improvements. Of course, the creator of the map was Jarvis. Under the fine control of Jarvis, the construction and functions of the map were better.

Additional features on the map were; navigation, floor tab, Room of Secrets, Room of requirements, search bar, person classification feature and night mode.

The navigation showed the shortest route to the desired point of the castle. As the map was a single page, the floor tab showed the entire floor. The search bar finds the desired person and shows where they are. The person's classification shows the status of the people on the map. For example, Henry was classified as a first-year student. There was a one next to his name on the map. The numbers changed according to the year of the student. Professors had the letter P next to their names. All this information came from Hogwarts castle.

He could make an identification for every person in the castle. Even animals were included. Peter, Ron's rat, had an S next to his name, which meant foreigner. In short, it was a small upgrade of the Marauder's Map.

With the addition of the Chamber of Secrets and Room of requirements to the map, the people in the room were also visible, even the basilisk was visible. Night mode turned the ink into white phosphorus to make the map visible in the dark.

With the map, Henry continued to explore the castle without any problems during curfew. He wasn't worried about Dumbledore or Voldemort. He wasn't the only first year out for a stroll. His level of concealment and the regular legillimency attacks he suffered were unremarkable.

The reason he had attracted Dumbledore's full attention last time was because he couldn't get into his mind. This time, it was different. Dumbledore's full attention was on Harry. Ever since Henry had made his own map, there was something that had caught his attention. Whenever Harry went out during curfew, Dumbledore followed him.

He'd never seen that on the Marauder's Map. Even though he hadn't stolen it this time, he had followed Harry several times while he was using the Marauder's Map and Dumbledore never seemed to be near him. After noticing this, Henry realised that Dumbledore had made changes to the Marauders Map. Henry expected more from Dumbledore.

He would have expected him to use the trick of preventing the castle from following him, as Henry had done. That was why Henry was exploring the castle. Even if he hadn't explored most of the rooms, he had examined some of them. Even if he didn't learn every spell cast on Hogwarts castle, he would learn seventy per cent of it at the end of the discovery. This alone would raise Henry's knowledge of charms and wards to monster level.

In the future, he would be able to use his magic pulse constantly. Then the knowledge he could gain just by travelling would be at an unimaginable level. Jarvis would filter out unnecessary information and analyse and imprint the necessary information into Henry's mind. Another reason for night exploration was the calming effect of walking. Although Henry was relieved of his depression, he still felt uneasy from time to time.

"The process after transmigrating to another world is not as easy as they described it," Henry said to himself. He knew that these processes would be temporary. Soon he would be free from powerlessness.
