Time-skip and Progress - I

At the age of 9 I stopped going to the karate dojo. With the help of Legilimency and hard work, I had learnt everything that he had to teach me and I gained a black belt. He was very proud of me and to thank him I participated in a national tournament representing the dojo and won it in under 13 age group. I also used the opportunity to read the minds of various masters and gained some more exercises in karate.

I thought about whether to study another kind of martial arts but after a lot of research I found that most of them gave similar benefits and the others were not much useful for me. I only wanted a strong body to enable me to have more capacity of magic and also give me more flexible movements. I was not dependant of only physical strength so I did not need to spend more time learning more martial arts which would then lead to me doing more exercises daily. I did not have the time for that. The karate daily exercises were more than enough for me.

After stopping going to the dojo, I joined a gym to increase my strength and be in shape. Practising in a gym increased my strength in various areas that practising martial arts alone would not achieve. I did not stop practising martial arts, I practised it early morning every day without break as it helped to be in focus the whole day. These two combined, martial arts and gym practise gave me the perfect growth for my body.

During a search of my parent's bedroom, I found the wands of my parents. I tried them out and one of them gave a weak response while another one gave an above average response. Both wands were not quite suited for me which disappointed me a little bit but I blamed it on the ritual which activated my family gift and removed all the impurities in me. From Sherry I learned that the one with the better response was my Father's wand. She did not know about wood and core used and I did not care about that. I decided to use the wand a little to become used to them before Hogwarts. My spell practise was done mostly wandlessly and I only used a wand to understand the movement of magic while using advanced spells. I needed to know that before I could do a spell wandlessly. It felt so easy to do spells using a wand. Only a fraction of the magic required to do the spell wandlessly was required to do the spell. No wonder after becoming depended on using a wand, people are not able to do spells wandlessly. This wand was not my optimum fit too. So I would need even less magic with an optimum wand. I understood from then on that it's not that people are not able to do wandless magic after becoming dependent on the wand, it is just that the difficult of doing wandless magic was such that most people would give up at the start while others subconsciously don't want to learn a harder method to do the same spell.

I also read up on the latest wizarding laws passed and wizarding Etiquette. Most of the laws passed were against other magical creatures like werewolves and vampires. It made them oppressed without any way to find jobs in the wizarding world. I don't know what is wrong with Dumbledore. He is isolating every community now and expects them to help him during the war with Voldemort. Remus Lupin trying to convince the werewolves was a lost cause from the get go. No progressive laws were passed in recent times. Dumbledore was trying to make a mandatory law to force every British citizen to finish their studies at Hogwarts recently but it had a lot of opposition and I did not think he will be successful. He just wants every wizarding child to be under him so he can mould them properly according to his wishes.

Today was the day of my 11th birthday. I had achieved all of the goals that I had made for myself to do before starting Hogwarts.

I had truly mastered Occlumency just a few months back. It was my masterpiece. When a person entered my mind all they would see first was an untrained mind with memories floating around. These memories were the ones that I had created for myself using the memories of my fellow orphans and my class mates. The memories portrayed me as a very studious and paranoid person who takes a lot of time to make a decision. This was what I wanted the wizarding kind to see me as. This was also the part of the mind which would be accessed when I am under the effects of Veritaserum. So I could lie very easily. Deep inside the sea of memories is a door which was hidden using a complex illusion. It was very difficult to find and if a person needed to find it, they needed hours to do it.

Inside the door was my true mindscape. It was highly protected. After layers of powerful thick shields which contained many traps, it led to a big castle. The traps were of various kinds. Some caused the attack to reflect towards the attacker giving them the same intensity attack back towards their mind. Others caused them to go into endless loop of illusion which trapped their minds in a fantasy world I know of and only way to come out was knowing the story beforehand so it was impossible for people other than me. After all the traps and shields you will come across my last line of defence. Weapons from the modern world like missiles and tanks and fantasy characters like superheroes and anime characters. It was an army no person would ever be stupid enough to face. By some luck if people reached my army, then they will be obliterated at this point. The combined attack will cause the person's mind to become destroyed and only way for them to wake up is to remove all their memories from birth and start afresh.
