*3rd POV* *3 years later*
In the Malfoy estate woods on the mountain {Well technically a hill but… it sounds better…}. There is a cute black-haired youth sitting on a stump that is in the middle of an open space, there are two wolf pups with him, a black one is gnawing on a stick in front his feet, while the white one is sitting on the youth's lap, sleeping.
This youth is undoubtedly Lowell, he appears to be playing a simple light brown flute, and this sight looks serene. As you look better at him, you can see he is playing with his eyes closed and there is a small metal ball floating in front of him.
When the song is almost at its end, a small energetic blonde girl runs to Lowell and speaks to get his attention. "LO! Uncle grim face is here to teach us potions again. He said you need to come as fast a possible or you get extra homework."
When she said… or yelled that to him, he snaps out of his concentration and the ball before him falls down right on the head of Fillan, while Chann slowly wakes up and looks unhappy at Jasmine for interrupting her nap.
'You know Jasmine, if uncle Severus heard what you just said, then I'm not the one who gets extra homework.' When she heard that she looked panic stricken for a brief moment, then she runs at her brother and looks at him with pleading eyes and a little panic in her voice.
"You wouldn't say that to him, would you? My gentle big brother wouldn't do something like that right?...right?!"
*Lowell POV*
('This little devil.') This is an everyday occurrence in my life. I really should punish her for interrupting my magic control training, but I just can't do it, I was an only child in my past life so I really treasure my siblings. But now she is just spoiled by us, but she really gets out of hand then it wouldn't be a good time for her.
At that moment Jasmine felt a chill go through her spine. "Come on Lo, I dont want to make uncle impatient... the lesson becomes really hard when he is impatient..."
I look at her and sigh. ' *Sighs* Sure, come Chann, and Fillan keep up okay, see you there Jasmine *grin*.' I take Chann in my arms and run to the mansion. Fillan runs behind me and the little rascal is dazed of me running at full speed.
"LO!! WAIT FOR MEEE!!" she screams and runs after me, that's what you get for interrupting me.
When I reached the mansion I see my godfather waiting at the door. He doesn't look happy, but then again, his face never looked happy.
'Sorry uncle, I was doing my magic and emotion control training in the forest.' I said that and bow to apologize. He has black clothes on, black hair and eyes, yes ladies and gentlemen. My godfather is Severus Snape, he is also the godfather of Draco and Jasmine. Can you even be that for so many people?
"Lowell, how many times do I have to say that I am not your uncle." He looks irritated by it, but I don't really care, I see him as family, so he is my uncle. I told him that many times and the first time you should have seen his face, it was a perfect flustered face... but I got a lot of homework that time.
'I will keep that in mind... uncle.' It looks like he gave up for today. "Where is Jamine?" 'She should be here in 5 minutes or so.' After that he walks inside and ask me.
"And how is your progress on your training?"
'The magic control is improving, I should be able to train next week with 2 metal balls, as for the emotion control... it is difficult without the flute to keep my emotions as stable as I want to. But the physical training you and my parents developed is progressing at my desired pace."
"Don't push to hard. You have the same magic control as a noble wizard just going to school and the emotion training was never supposed to be easy, it was a brilliant idea of you to use music to calm your mind. As for your body training... to be able to be 5 minutes faster than your sister in a 2 mile distance, I think you should slow down."
'But I like the training, it focuses on your movement and you said it was based on Auror techniques. The potion I made also helps for giving me the necessary nutrition and energy.' After I am done speaking, Snape {I will write Snape in the non dialogue to make it easier for myself} stops walking and looks at me, although I can't read his thoughts, his expression says enough.
Monster, genius, talent, that's what his face says. Although for me it is just using my imagination and seeing if it can be realised. For wizards they don't really use it much, maybe for transfiguration but for creating new things, I've yet to hear of them making new spells except people at the professor level. For me magic is all about seeing things at different angles but that's my view on it.
'Is something wrong uncle?' after I say that he gets back from his thoughts. The best action is just to act oblivious to the situation. Snape looks at me and starts walking again.
"No, let's get back to the potion room. Draco is there waiting, you and him can set everything up while we wait on Jasmine." When we reach the room I see Draco waiting on a desk, we look at each other and set everything up. When we are here, me and Draco don't talk. It's not because we don't get along anymore or something, but we are in study mode and focus on the task at hand, that is the only reason we can hold on in this Spartan teaching.
After everything is ready Jasmine comes through the door panting. She looks at me with a displeased and irritated look and then at Snape and excuses herself to him. "Sorry uncle Severus for being late." Uncle looks at her and signals her to go sit. After that she sits next to me and humfs at me before turning her head away from me.
After that it was the normal potion lesson, this lesson happens once a month, because Snape is also a teacher at Hogwarts. The first year of class was hell, it was only memorization of ingredients and identifying them. Then the rest of the time it was combining the ingredients and seeing the reaction and noting them down. I'm pretty sure I have a bookshelf only for potion-brewing in my room. Only since 3 months ago were we allowed to make potions.
The funny thing is, here me and Draco can be called a golden duo. I use my ideas to make recipes that may or may not work, while Draco perfects them enough to make it a working potion. After that we give it to Snape to examine.
The only potion that we made that can be classified as successful is the nutrition potion, it's effects are actually really simple. Let's say you eat only vegetables all day, there will be certain nutrition's you haven't had in that day, the potion gives you these nutrition's while excreting the unneeded ones. It gives a stable growth in both magical and physical aspect because it uses the magic in the ingredients to make the cells more magic abundant, but the increase is so minimal that it is invisible.
There are potions that increase magic, but they are expensive and leave you in a weak state. They forcefully pump you full with magic while leaving you in a weak state, most of the magic in the potion is lost and it loses a lot of it's effects the second time.
After the potion lesson we eat in the dining room with our parents and Snape, our father as usual asks him of our progress while our mother talks to us about our day. I don't see mother very much these few weeks because I'm almost training all day. My program for the day is like this.
7am-8am: waking up and eating.
8am-10am: physical training.
10am-12am: training Chann and Fillan
12am-1pm: lunch
1pm-3pm: magic and emotion control training
3pm-4pm: free time.
4pm-4.30pm: tea time {Even if they are wizards the are still British...}
4.30pm-6pm: potion-brewing
6pm-7pm: dinner
7pm-...: Magic studies and training, reading, notes.
So as you can see, not a lot of free time. I don't have a plan yet for the coming danger. But there is nothing wrong with getting knowledge and becoming more capable in subjects.
In my free time I also care for a little garden I have. There are some magical plant in there but my prize possession in there is a tree, yes a normal tree. It's a weeping willow and I use magic fermentation to let it grow and study the reactions on it. It was only a seed 2,5 years ago but now it is already 3m high.
Also what interests me is wizard psychology and their history. And I made a big discovery, there is no explanation on how wizards came to be, they were suddenly there. Which to me sounds really suspicious. And I have a theory, but I have not made it public yet to even my family.
Me and Draco are what you can call pseudo-famous in the Wizarding world, the reason is actually pretty simple. And that is my dad Lucius, he likes to brag about us to his friends and say our achievements to them, and words spread quick around the magic world. Especially when they are about 2 potion genius twins who invented a new potion with no side effects at the age of 9.
But with all this explanation dinner was already finished and I'm back in my room. It is a spacious room with a double bed and a wall full of books, there is a desk with some notes and a stack of notebooks that are fully written in. Next to it there is a black pen feather in an inkpot.
When I closed the door I see Chann in my bed sleeping while Fillan is gnawing on a piece of Dragon bone.
('Back to research huh.')
