Chapter 5 - Changes Part 2

[MC POV]

(1981 - 1 year later)

I am now over a year old, and during the last year I evolved really fast. With that I mean that no normal one year old could do what I can but I guess because of my abilities and Traits it is possible for me. I am now able to do everything a normal person should be able to, except that my body is still too small. The most important thing was that I can walk and speak now. My magic power went up a bit as well and I was finally able to take out the 'Book of all' out of my consciousness. I started reading it a few months ago and I must say it is really interesting and magical. I mean I learned a lot but I mean not the magical world itself, I mean the book. When I want to learn something I focus on the book and it gets materialised into my hands. It is a black leather book with the title, as its name suggests, 'Book of all' printed in golden letters on the cover. When I open it, it is just full of white pages and at first I was confused but after some experimenting I learned that I just have to imagine what information or book I want and it gets displayed into my book. For example when I wanted to read a first year book on Transfiguration from Hogwarts, I just had to imagine those points and it got printed inside the book. If I want to read another book, it just deletes and prints the new book into it.

With the book now available for me and my body, which is still too weak, I read most of the time and learned a lot of things about this world as well as some Theorie of Magic.

Besides the changes in me, many things have changed around me as well. The change that influenced me the most was my relationship with my mother. Yes you heard it right, not Bellatirix, its mother. It confuses me more than I imagined because my logic simply fails when it comes to her. When I first thought I could analyse her and make up a strategy to best deal with her, I now have no real clue. With that I mean, that during the last year we grew closer. She started to visit more often and talk not only about her complaints but also about normal things, and to win her favour so she doesnt hurt me I tried to make the cutest baby poses I could imagine. At first I thought it wouldn't work but as time went by she seemed to grow more fond of me. And I thought I would finally win her over when I said my first words to her which were 'mama', but I seemed to have calculated that wrong because when I said that she stood still from shock for a few seconds before turning around and leaving without a word. But I could swear I saw her face red from anger for unknown reasons, or that is what i thought. The next day she gave me permission to call her so, and the thing that confused me even more was that she even took me in her arms.

Since then our relationship became even closer and she started to call me by my name or sometimes when she thinks I am asleep even 'Kael' which is a nickname for me I guess.

By the way, I also saw my father for the first time last year, but he didn't even bother with me. Not that it mattered to me because he behaved the exact same as my father in my old life, with the exception that I see him sometimes. But besides those two the only other I interacted with or even saw was Taya.

My relationship with Taya also evolved further. I mean she was totally loyal to me before but I now had more interactions with her and even some conversations. While I wasn't really interested in the abuse of house elves, as Taya was my own and therefore represents me I spoke to her to change some of behaviours. Part of this was that Taya was still young and came only out of her training so it wasn't that hard to change her, unlike those old house elves who hurt themselves for every tiny mistake they made. But I guess one thing I couldn't change was that everytime I did something that was in her eyes 'too much of a grace' she would look at me with those big eyes of hers and nearly hold back her tears. Even I must say that it can be considered cute.

I snapped out of my thoughts when Taya teleported into the room with my dinner in her hands.

"Young Master, Taya came to bring you your dinner" She said while walken to the side of my table, where I currently sat in my room, and placing my dinner on top.

"Thank you Taya" I answered

"Young Master does not need to thank Taya. Taya is the luckiest elf to work for Young Master. Taya should be the one thanking the Young Master" Taya said while her big round eyes filled with tears.

Yes it happened again, so I just started to eat my food because I learned to stop talking in those situations if I don't want a crying house elf in my room.

While I ate Taya teleported out of my room and I started to look out of my window and admire the beautiful scenery of the mansion garden filled with a warm orange light from the setting sun in the distance. Just as I finished eating and was about to take out my 'Book of all' the door to my room opened and my mother came in. I didn't see her for the last week, which was unusual because our relationship developed so far that she would normally come nearly every day.

"Hello mother" I said as she walked to the table I currently sat at. When you wonder why mother and not mama, that is simple because I got my own dignity and now that my pronunciation is developed to the standards of a normal person I no longer need to speak in 'baby language'.

"Hello Mikael, mother is sorry that she didn't come for you for a week but I had a lot to do" She said in a sweet voice, while I could still see from her face and voice that she was only calm on the surface. Something must have happened because I haven't seen her that angry in a long time. You are also probably wondering if this is the Bellatrix Lestragne you know from the Books and Movies, and the answer is simple, yes and no. While she became more crazy over the last year she also became more soft towards me, like a mother to her child.

"Don't worry mother I can take care of myself and I also have Taya" I said

"Yes Mikael is all grown up" She said and you could see hesitation and sadness in her eyes which our main character of course didn't notice because he can't understand emotions from others other than himself.

"Listen Mikael" She continued while stopping for a short while "I need you to go on a short vacation together with Taya, can you do that for me?" She asked

"Why?" I asked obviously confused from her request

"Because I got some work to do and it might not be safe in the mansion at the moment" She said

And that was when I realised what was going to happen. I mean how come I could forget something like that. We now have 1981. The year when Voldemord would vanish from the world and the death eaters would fall into a state of panic and confusion. And so I came to the conclusion that the 'work' she mentioned would probably be to torture the Longbottoms and as a result get imprisoned in Azkaban.

So i did the only reasonable thing in this kind of situation and with the knowledge i have and said "Ok mother, Taya and I will go on a vacation. I hope you are safe."

I mean come on you didn't really expect me to tell her something or do something to stop it, right? Right? She might have accompanied me during the last year and a half but as I said before I got no real feelings towards her. And the Longbottoms? I never met them before and if I did something that could change the plot, how could I watch the familiar plot firsthand?

"Thank you Kael for understanding, Taya will take care of you and got everything needed to do so, and I hope you stay safe as well" She said while leaning towards me and kissing me on my forehead and saying "Goodbye Kael" afterwards standing up and walking out of the room.

"Goodbye mom" I said while unknowingly rubbing my forehead with my hand. At that she stopped for a short while and then continued to walk out of the room. Meanwhile I didnt even notice that I called her 'mom' instead of the usual monoton 'mother'.

Hey, the author here.

A short note for this chapter (and against the hardcore Harry Potter fans if there are any here) I am not quite sure when Voldemord vanished and when the Longbottoms got attacked I only know it was 1981, but because it is my fanfic I set it up this way (should be ok right?)

I also hope you take no offence to the main character's actions there (not telling or stopping anything), it's just that his character hasn't really developed yet so he has no real emotional attachment to anyone and doesn't really care about what will happen.

But as you might have guessed I will try to slowly develop the character and his emotions but it will take time.

I also wanted to focus on something I read in the commands, as I said before the main character will be op but has no interest in showing it if not needed. I write a Harry Potter fanfiction and don't intend to mix this up with anything else (as of now), which is why his abilities will only be magic and magic related things. That is the same for combat, it will only be magical or with magical creatures and not some sci-fi.

As for titles I intend to give him enough political power, money and titles to back up his combat strength. But he will only be addressed by his titles on rare occasions or when it is needed (don't know yet but probably Gringotts or when he deals with the Ministry of Magic).

So yeah that's it, thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it and see you next time.
