I opened the instructions tucked into the body strengthening book, I'm gonna call it the manual, and found a letter.
"Hello Harry, this is from the goddess who sent you here. I know you want to begin practicing everything immediately but I would suggest holding back and only doing first-year student magic."
'Well fuck there goes my hopes of being OP as fuck enough to fight Dumbledore as a baby.'
"This will keep you from having to do multiple rituals which would give higher entities access to your body, magic, mind, and soul. Trust me you don't want to fuck with that cause Voldemort is a lesser example of what can happen (you'll understand later). This limitation however doesn't mess with your experiments and whatnot so you can still practice runes and potions. For the mind arts, the most effective build can be discovered with a healthy helping of muggle science and could be done at the age of 6 (If you stick to the instructions in the book). Lastly, Occlumency is highly dependent on one's imagination so I suggest you start coming up with some fun OP bullshit."
"P.S Don't make beings with consciousness unless you severely limit them in their actions because they can steal your body and destroy your consciousness if you aren't careful, or if they're manipulative edit you till they control you."
"Which uf u are better at making food"
The two elves looked at each other for a moment before hobby raised his hand looking a little smug about something.
"Okay make some soup or something easy two digest"
"tipsy can u..." 'why did I have to come back as a baby' "...change me diapers"
Time Skip 5 months
This has been a very productive few months I decided to first go over the manual and then go through as many books as possible in my parent's collection of which I began with the trunk full of old spellbooks Lilly left behind. It had everything from first through seventh-year books with notes about improvements and spell creations in multiple steps of development. Weird I always thought she didn't have a job and was just doing her masters in charms under Flitwick.
After I read the manual I began meditating trying to feel out my magic core which was easy at the start. But honestly, my baby body is the biggest disadvantage I have ever had because I either fall asleep before getting to my core or try and shift around cause there is an annoyingly itchy feeling. It took me three weeks to force myself to ignore these things and actually touch my core before I began moving it through my body. It felt sluggish at first but once I got into the rhythm I lost track of time and managed to make the process automatic so I didn't even need to think about it, but actively meditating and working out will speed up the process considerably.
I read all of the books and I had to look through them twice cause while my baby body was constantly gaining strength my brain could still get fatigued. My baby lisp finally left me after about a week of casual use of the body strengthening which was in its basic form manipulating my magic through my body following my blood vessels and using it to enhance myself with magical energy forcefully stored inside it. It's a lot like cultivation novels, I really hope I don't get the feared 'peng clan young master' or protagonist disease ('especially protagonist') cause both usually lead to an early death without the famed legendary plot armor. I mean one just has a lot of arrogance and gets slapped to death, while the other gets these weird bs urges to help people they don't even know with no reward whatsoever and gets involved in stuff without getting the whole picture. I mean it's enjoyable if you hate the MC and-
I'm getting carried away but yeah if there is one thing I would most definitely have to get rid of, then it's my impulses cause gaining strength no matter how small even now is euphoric. Back to my progress, I have succeeded in casting all of the first-year charms with ease because of my boosted comprehension which also increased my information retention meaning I was going to be having a far easier time. Though I was disappointed with how little I could currently do I had to bear with it so I had my elves searching the island area and a little farther for magical herbs to add to my collection. I ordered them to bring me one of each that I could use while also stealing a few small seeds from muggle farmers. I got all of the regular plants I could think of in a week and some magical plants like Asphodel Root, Dried nettles, Dittany, Wormwood, Mandrake root, Aconite, etc. I touched them in a big pile saying the magic "Grow food." Now, as long as I have my mansion I will never go hungry again. Though I still had them bring stuff like chickens, cows, pigs, and other farm animals which they took care of giving my house the actions it can use to do the same.
I still have yet to really work on runes as when I first started the basic light rune scheme that required two runes one for power and one for the conversion to light it blew up and Tipsys' timely intervention has kept me from losing any limbs. My theory as to why this happened when I know them all by heart along with the theory is that my hands aren't stable or strong enough for the carving process.
Time Skip - 5 1/2 years old
It's been a long 4 years since that night in Godric's Hollow. I managed to eventually get all the books about the brain and simply forced myself to adopt a schedule of reading, meditation, and relaxation/sleep cause too much work will wear me down. The passing of time had me walking around without a problem and trying my hand at some of the activities my elves did such as cooking. They refused at first but when I told them I just wanted a hobby to occupy myself with whenever I'm bored they immediately took to teaching me everything including their magic tricks. Though when they were teaching me they had this wistful look in their eyes like they thought I would abandon them, which I would. Don't get me wrong I like the company but if I move into the more dangerous worlds then they would become a liability to my secrets and my safety. All it would take would be someone like Xavier or a manipulative swine to get them to reveal everything.
Talking about manipulative swines though I am still not sure what to do about Dumbeldore. He might be a 'good' guy but he would certainly want control and having a guaranteed way to defeat Voldemort while taking credit for it would be a likely approach for a person like that. So I'm not telling him shit until I have all the Hallows and Voldemort is permanently dead. Preferably with Dumbeldore close behind Voldemort. Actually, I might just kill him if I find out he's trying to steal from me like in a bunch of other fanfictions.
At the age of 2 and 3-4 months, I managed to start some light exercise running around, climbing, and handstands so I could eventually do acrobatic movements for dodging if need be. I continued these exercises along with my daily routine for now. At 2 and 7 months, I finally managed to get started on the practical application of runes without them blowing up in my face though there were a few close calls. After almost losing my limbs for the 5th time I added an on/off switch so I could test them all from afar. Currently, I am working on miniaturizing the runes which is a vital part of being an enchanter. There are two ways I can do this 1 I just enlarge the piece set the runes, check them to see if they work undo the enlargement, and repeat or 2 learn to make them smaller so I can use the above to fit far more runes into items. I chose the first one at the start to strengthen my arm before moving on to the more difficult and rewarding second choice.
I was 3 when I finally hit the strength of a child somewhere around 7-10 years old when I entered the training room and asked it for what I considered the best people to train me to become stronger physically Shang Chi, The Zoldyck grandpa, and Kakashi Hatake. An ethereal form of them appeared and instead of them telling me what to do a list appeared in front of me:
