Once I had settled on my lesson plan for the year, I also had one of my house elf's, get enough wizarding supplies for the next two years, and enough food and water for ten years, just in case. I had a feeling I would start to neglect my bodily health once I was focused on learning more magic, so I gave orders to keep my body in a pristine healthy state to my elves. This would cause some annoyance once I was deeply in my magical studies, but what was a little annoyance compared to a long and healthy life, for wizards had a long life.
At first I wondered were my elves would get the things I ordered them to get, I didn't really care, but still I had to ask, logistics were important. I discovered that some of it came from the Potter Castle and other property's I owned, and if they needed to buy something they could access my vault, so I had them bring me 10,000 galleons for emergencies. For the more mundane things, such as food and water, they could simply use magic to get them, wether that be grabbing a wild pig or water from a waterfall or river, or by popping into a grocery store and leave without paying. When I discovered that fact, I was quite amused.
I pondered if I should get a wand, but both my parents wand's were destroyed, during Voldermort's attack, and there might be one or two in my vault, but I did not want to become handicapped by my wand, plus I had roughly eleven years to learn 7 years of Hogwarts education, and I was almost done with the first year.
So I turned to the bookshelf that I had titled "The Basic of Becoming a Wizard" and willed with my mind and magic for the basic spells schoolbook to come toward me, and had it float before me as I read the pages, once I had finished with the book, I had found it to be night time, so my elves cooked me some food, then I trained my already known spells before exhausting myself and going to bed.
Once I was in my dreamless sleep state, I reviewed my memory of the book over and over the entire night until I awoke in the morning. I was pretty tired, which shocked me, I guess the more I used my mind in my sleep, the less effective the dreamless sleep state was. I had always hated waking up, still feeling tired, so I carefully visualized my magic flowing faster and faster throughout my whole body spilling over until it filled my entire body, my blood, muscles, bones, marrow, and everywhere else within my tiny baby body.
That's when I felt it, I opened my eyes and it felt like I was perfectly awake and full of energy, after a couple minutes of feeling this new magical effect, it slowly faded until it felt like just one of those rare morning's when you opened your eyes after a full nights sleep and felt fully rested.
I then ate my breakfast, that was prepared for me, before once more reading the physical copy of the basic spells schoolbook, for good measure.
My Occulemency allowed me perfect recall of sorts, but it wasn't effortless, I had to concentrate and look within my mind, then find where that information was stored, it helped when my mind was properly organized, which was why one of my daily training routines at the end of the day was to organize and sort my new memories in my mind, with my old memories, and to put them in their proper categories and places, for some memories contained multiple categories.
Yet these magical mind arts were much more preferable than my past life of just trying to blindly grasp at a memory or piece of knowledge, I knew to be in my mind, and sometimes succeeding, but also sometimes failing.
So after finished reading the physical book, and once more retrieving the memory of the book, I then started to cast the first spell I was interested in, Nox, it was a spell that was paired with a spell I had used a lot, Lumos, it was the spell to turn off the light provided by the Lumos spell, before I had just willed the light to turn off or to stop. Now though I would use the accompanying spell.
Not Surprisingly it took me little effort to learn this spell, it was basically the same as willing the light to stop or turn off while saying the name of the spell. This allowed me to realize I was doing magic just by instinct and intent, which was useful, but also dangerous, without proper control, so I added it to the things to do after I finish the seven years of Hogwarts education.
The next spell was tougher to cast, it was the counter-spell, which was used to deflect magic, or cancels an ongoing magical effect.
So I had ordered Klaw to continuously cast the tickle charm at me, which concluded with me rolling around laughing a bunch.
The problem with this spell was, I was to counter something I couldn't see, so I had to gauge were and when the magic would hit me, and after thousands of tickle charms and countless days, I had started to gain a new sense towards magic. It turns out that being exposed to more and more magic, made you more attuned, or aware of it, like a gut feeling, you could vaguely feel it, and use this to act on an instinctual level. I was guessing this was why most wizards were able to use spells such as this, without actually able to see magic.
So after what seemed like forever of being tickled, I finally managed to develop this new sense of magical awareness. Which allowed me to finally grasp the timing, and use of the counter-spell, now all I had to learn was to use it to dispel a magical effect.
I had one of my house elves enchant a pebble, to be able to heat up, it was able to heat up to a high enough temperature, if placed on some kindling, it would help you start a fire. I had a basic survival tool, for the wild, so I had my house elves make a couple dozen, and some they were the size of a pebble.
I kept one, in one of my baby pockets, in my baby clothes. I then got to work on getting the counter-spell to dispel the magical effect.
I actually succeeded quite fast. This was a good thing, but also a bad thing, for I was able to dispel the magical effect, with my will and intent, but not understand how I did it, sadly I knew that understanding magic and how it worked, was far above the level of simple magical understanding I had. It could be said that the level between my understanding of magic, and the level I needed to reach, were as far apart as the heaven's and the earth.
After what felt like forever, but was actually a couple months, for me to develop my magical awareness, and to learn the counter-spell charm, I decided to quicken my pace, I decided to learn two spells, since they had a similar effect. They were the leg-locking curse, and the body-binding curse.
Both spells stopped movement, just in a different way, the leg-locking curse made the legs lock up by going rigid, like rigid moreus in a dead body, while also using making this effect only happen once the two legs are brought together.
The body-binding curse however actually used magic to disrupt the body's natural sustem for a set amount of time, depending on the power of the spell, to paralyze the target of the spell.
After countless castings on a large group of rats, I finally came to the hypothesis, that it did this by using my magic to send a small electrical pulse full of electrical and magical energy to disrupt the body's systems, a hypothesis I had hoped to prove in the future.
