While I could turn my hair or eyes any colour I wanted and even add several inches to my height at a moment's notice.
I was comfortable with my current height and appearance my only modification being my hair, given that I was so used to is being this length when I was older it helped somewhat.
My grey eyes also played well to my appearance, as while most tend to overlook them when I am talking to them.
Working well with my ice mask but should I desire I've learned that with a slight colour change to my eyes and increasing my height when I am up close to someone can prove to be rather intimidating, and I'm looking forward to when I can put it you use.
Satisfied with my appearance I nodded as I lifted my black over-robe from the desk and turned to head for the door out to the hall when my grandfather's portrait spoke.
"Good luck Magnus, and be safe"
I smiled and nodded, "thank you, grandfather, I'll try to be," I said before I left the room.

An hour later I was stepping out of the public floo and onto platform nine and three quarters pulling my trunk out after me, thankful for the weightless charm that was on it making it as light as a feather.
While I could have just shrunk it and kept it in my pocket I didn't want people to know my trunk could do that yet, nor did I want anyone knowing all the enchantments on my trunk, it was my ace in the whole.
I started to brush the soot off my shoulders from the floo as I walked down the platform, it wasn't overly crowded yet given that I had arrived well ahead of the departure time.
Given that I wanted to make sure I was able to get a compartment to myself so that I could have time to myself to go over my plans for my first year of Hogwarts.
Aunty Andy and Tonks had offered to see me off from the platform my I had kindly denied them both as it would draw some speculation for them to be here given that....
....Andy didn't have any more children so people would be wondering who I was I didn't need that attention… yet anyway.
I had no doubt that things would get interesting at the sorting feast, given that now that I had found my house the attendance book filled with names of Hogwarts students would reflect that.
And so would all Hogwarts documents including the list that would be called off at the sorting, meaning that my identity as a Black would be made public knowledge tonight.
Though I already had steps in motion with Ted in order to counteract what I predict would obviously happen after tonight, I was confident I had all my bases covered.
Stepping into the train I went down the compartments until I stopped at the first empty one I found.
Before stepping in and shutting the door behind me before taking my wand out and with a wish and a flick.
I levitated my trunk up and into the above storage space with a smirk at my on silent casting, even if it was a simple charm.
It had taken me ages to get that and a couple of others learned in the month to that extent, casting verbally was easy it's the silent casting that's a pain.
I had only started getting the spells working silently in the last week of the month I knew that I was going to be training just as much to learn the others to the same extent.
With the compartment door closed and my trunk stored I returned my wand to my sleeve and moved to sit on the left-hand window seat of the compartment as I started to filter through my memories about what would be happening in the next hour.
On the muggle side of the platform Harry Potter would have his first run in with the Weasley brood, which was only a result of Molly Weasley blatantly tossing the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy aside as she openly talks about Platform nine and three quarters and muggles aloud for all to hear.
In order to draw Harry's attention to them in an obvious set up so that him and Ronald would become friends later.
It wasn't obvious to me at first when I reviewed the first movie but when I watched the second I realised that something was off, the Weasleys were a pureblood family weren't they.
They had no reason to take the muggle-born passage into platform nine and three quarters, not when their parents could just apparate them all here in a couple of jumps, or even do as I did and take the floo here.
It was all that plus Molly's actions that had me convinced that it was all a set up on Dumbledore's orders in order to get Harry in with a family that was loyal to Dumbledore.
Given that Harry had been staying with his abusive muggle relatives he would cling to any and all love and affection gave to him no matter how small because of his upbringing all because of Dumbledore's manipulations.
And all that was just the start of Dumbledore's manipulations this year.
When looking at things through realistic eyes it's plain to see how the first year of Hogwarts was all just one big test for Harry.
First the announcement during the welcoming feast announcing the third floor on the right-hand side out of bounds to draw Harry's and everyone's attention to it to start the Hogwarts rumour mill running.
And then the year spent gathering clues which a certain loose-lipped half giant just keeps dropping.
All so the three of them could get past the traps if you can even call them that.
That's meant to keep the dark lord from getting his hands on the philosopher stone, what an absolute joke.
I had spent a day doing research in the black library on their so-called traps as I knew what they were before hand and....
....I was not impressed with Dumbledore's actions, and the number of safety violations he's committing in this year alone.
