Fast forward

AN: I just read through the previous chapter and realized that it was not very good. I made several mistakes and the story was not very readable. That does NOT mean that I will drop it or redo it since I hate to abandon this fic. Therefore I will be writing with tons of time skips.

You may not like this fic because it will be very FAST PACED to the extent of being barely readable but that is better than indefinite hiatus or abandonment.

The year quickly went by with little trouble. Quirrel had apparently 'died' while trying to steal the Philosopher's stone but Harry had managed to stop him. My brother was very happy and even hid the fake stone in his trunk when he thought no one was there.

Voldemort had decided to act just like how the book was written to throw them off the trail. I had told him that it would be able to trick Mike into believing that everything is going exactly as he believes it would.

I could have him killed in a discrete manner before he got too strong but I wanted to steal his abilities before I killed him. I already had a very shallow bond due to sharing of talents. If I created a ritual to not only widen the soul connection but also to pull the gifts to me then I would be unstoppable.

I have already started on the basics and would be done within half a year. By then I could also start my planned rituals of empowerment. All this time I must make sure that he gets into as little trouble as possible. The MC gets a massive power up after every adversary. My only chance is to throw an end game boss at a level 30 guy.

The second year soon began and Ginny was slowly getting cursed by the book. When Voldemort learned of what happened to his Diary he was furious. He had tortured Lucius Malfoy for hours before giving him a reprieve. He made a book that had similar properties to it by tying another dark book to his Diary. This would allow his diary to act through another book remotely using various protean charms , unbreaking and impervious charms and above all a soul breaking charm.

While the whole school was distracted by this incident I had already prepared the rituals in a room of requirement. It was over ahead of time by 3 months since the room would engrave anything I want on the floor without me using any stone cutting charm. It was extremely precise like someone shaped the entire stone using earth bending powers.

The remaining time was spent getting various samples. I had raided Snape's personal stash while shifting blame on Harry's crew. Snape seemed to have an extreme hatred to the quartet since they all fit the exact stereotype of the Marauders. Ron as Pettigrew, Mike as Sirius, Harry as James and Hermione as Remus. He had tried to pin every wrong doing on them but our dear Headmaster bailed them out.

The more exotic items were tough to find. Thestral hair was the easiest when I got it from the carriage. It would represent me dying. The Phoenix feather or tears would represent me waking from death. Apiece of a demetor to represent the ability to not die.

These would help find the right balance to make me near unkillable. Apart from this a Dragon blood for physical prowress while a thunderbird for magical powers. Finally a lethifold to improve my soul. I am planning to replace the lethifold due to how dangerous it was. I was actually planning to use my brother for this. Since the talents were joined to the soul I would get his talents. If I were to do this it would also give me a considerable boost since he was a magical and god-touched.

The dragon blood and thestral hair was already in my possession. I could get the Phoenix feather from Harry's wand even if it might have some adverse effects. Thunderbird feather could be obtained from Newt Scamander but it would be tough. I could try to get a Dementor's cloak piece when Voldemort frees his followers.

The final ingredient can be taken care of later.

The second year had gone by just like as it was in the books. The only difference was my brother making everything easier for them. I had kept out of the way and pretty much stopped talking to my classmates and spent my time preparing for the next year.

I just found a way to stabilize the transformation. Using cursed blood of a transforming werewolf was dangerous as it might make me too dependent. The only other way was Veela. They had the ability to control their transformation apart from high emotional situations. This would help me ease he transformation and control it to an extent. I would hate it if I were to transform into some half dementor half phoenix transformation.

Speaking of Phoenix I had stolen his wand and carefully pried the core out of the wand. As soon as the core separated from the wood, weird glowing lines connecting the two disappeared. I tried to stop them but failed. Thankfully the feather was in one piece and I set it gently into a sealed container.

Another year had come to an end and I was extremely close to getting very powerful.
