Leaving Snape and Quirrell to deal with the troll, we left the bathroom, heading to our respective dorms. Before splitting off at one of the corridors, Hermione whispered, "Thank you, John. You were amazing."
"I'm just glad you're okay, Hermione."
Soon enough, I was back in my bed, allowing sleep to tame me to dreamland.

"Hello, master Dragon, sir!" the elf chirped. The elf was smaller than the others, with large, bat-like ears and bright, inquisitive eyes that seemed to take in every detail. The lack of wrinkles clearly letting on his young age. "I be Tibby, sir. How can Tibby help sir?" The elf's eyes shone almost as much as Dobby’s from what I remember. Almost…Dobby was built different."
"Hi, Tippy.” I blinked, “Did...

"Alright, guys and ladies. Hermione will be joining us for our study session today," I announced, not too loud, considering where we were, but loud enough to get the table's attention. When we got there, the group was already spread out with their books and papers strewn across the table.
Padma frowned a little as she looked up from her notes before her face lit up with a smile. "Hermione, why don’t you si...

McGonagall regarded me for a long moment, then finally nodded. "Very well, Mr. Grey. This is highly unusual, but I will speak with the other professors. If your performance on Saturday's test is satisfactory, we will consider arranging the rest of the advancement tests."
"Thank you, Professor. I'll see you then," I promised.
With that, I took my leave.

Before going to sleep though, I lazily brandished my wand and got started on an alarm Charm and some wards. Nothing too crazy, just weak proximity and intrusion wards powerful enough to stop Newt level students. Then I was out like a log.

"So, if I understand correctly," I began, "tuition at Hogwarts will be free for me up until I do my…O.W.Ls, and I could also qualify for the Grade-Based Scholarship based on my academic performance for my N.E.W.Ts, or take a loan to fund it. At least, that's what I was told. Is that still the case?"

Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Alastor," Dumbledore said quietly. "We must proceed with caution and care. I did check to make sure he was…of sound mind.

Dumbledore's eyes widened in amazement as he watched the floating plant. He hadn't expected John to controlled demonstrate wandless magic. John just chuckled and added, "It might not be as cool as yours, but... we can't win 'em all." He shrugged playfully, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

With a nod of acknowledgement, Dumbledore stepped away from Moody and withdrew his wand. With a swift incantation, his travelling cloak transfigured into a formal suit, fitting for an official government representative.
"I shall report my findings, my friend," Dumbledore said to Moody before heading purposefully toward the orphanage's front door. It was time for him to investigate the matter further, for he knew that appearances could be deceivin...
A few things to get through.
AN 1: I got a few people who wanted me to close up the plot whole, which was “What happened to his parent's stuff?”. Honestly, I still couldn’t make up my mind to put more detail on it because I was on the fence as to how much I should give him and if he was to get a family home, then where would it be, how b extravagant it should be or would it even matter, so I kind of still left it a little vague. I can decide in later chapters I guess.
I'm al...

With a final nod of agreement, Moody ends the conversation, understanding that the mysteries of magic often defy easy categorization. As he resumes his investigation, he remains ever watchful, determined to uncover the truth, even as he completely disregards the possibility of a benevolent wizard at work in the world.
With a deep furrow in his brow, he mutters to himself, “What else do you gain by doing this? What am...

Along with the new spells, I can also feel the assimilated improvements to the spells I have already learned, along with the increase in magical control. If this is anything like chakra, it should mean less wasted magic when casting spells. I’ll have to test them another time though. Might as well heal some of the other patients, if I am even able to get close without anyone knowing.
Back to the grind.

Considering the dumb decisions they made in the movies, starting at 11 does make a lot of sense. I don't see more 16/18-year-olds making those decisions either. With him having Essense Of Archmage though, he will still breeze through Hogwarts but just not like a one-year thing.
I'm also moving towards the whole "purebloods keeping masteries to themselves" type thing, like how in the past education was kept to the higher class. With the wizarding world being so "behind the times" in some...

To be a 'monster' is not a condemnation but an acknowledgement of potential. To learn how to control it is to embark on a journey of mastery, tempered by wisdom and guided by the timeless principles that govern the responsible use of power.
In recognizing the profound meaning behind Peterson's words, the journey into the realms of magic becomes a conscious embrace of the 'monster' within—a ...
A/N: Looking back, 80% of this chapter was unnecessary. I wanted to show the fact that his mind was improved by just showing the different things going through it, basically improved vocabulary that he wouldn't normally be using etc, but it ended up being some kind of philosophical rant that went on too long. Read it and love it, or skim it and put it behind you...or just skip it up to the part that tells you about the essence; it's the most important part. You can still see the essence in th...
