Chapter 3: Preparation before the storm.
Three months later.
It's 4 am in the morning. I am at the moment in the small library on the first floor. Getting inside was a real challenge of my skills, but I did it. You need to remember that a six months old child like myself is still unable to even crawl, so I had to depend on the little amount of magic that I accumulated in this three months.
Don't misunderstand the amount of magic I had for my age was enormous, but it was only enough to make myself lighter to move, and use alohomora to open any closed doors. The worst part was that I didn't know any spell word for the lightening spell so I had to work out a wandless and chantless one somehow. Well I did it, and boy was I proud of myself. Now I'm here and... hehehe.
"Accio books about magic" I learned how to put less magic into spells. Otherwise summoning all this books would put me out instantly due to magical exhaustion. After all Accio is a fourth year spell for a reason. I put only enough magic for the books to fall from the shelf and before they hit the ground
"Silencio!"
Hufff... that was tiring, and the worst part is that I would need to use wingardium leviosa now to move the books around and then put them back into place. Thank god I didn't try it month ago or my parents would find their infant unconscious, on a different floor, and surrounded by magical books. That would be quiet awkward and who knows what they would think.
I started reading the books. Another thing that I need to thank god for is the eidetic memory he gave me. I just need to look at the page to remember it and then I can simply recall it later from memory to actually understand what I read with the help of my super IQ.
After an hour all the books were put back on their shelves and their copies were safely stored in my memory. With the last remains of my magic I forced myself out of the room and started making sounds so my mom or dad could find me.
They were shocked seeing me so far from my room, but quickly concluded that it must have been an accidental magic. Me being exhausted as hell only affirmed them in their conclusion.
After a good few hours of rest I woke up refreshed with a whole lot of information to process.
ThIs house didn't have a lot of books about magic but I still got my hands on a few spell books, a basic potion book, and even a book with ritual magic that I was almost certain, must be illegal.
But what surprised me the most was that in one of the book I found a basic introduction to oclumency!!! God I love my luck. Alright let's see...
//
'Art of Occlumency is the act of magically closing one's mind against Legilimency. It is ancient, and has existed since medieval times.It can prevent a Legilimens from accessing one's thoughts and feelings, or influencing them. A person who practises this art is known as an Occlumens.
The simple classification of occlumency comes in three stages:
1. Basic occlumency- a basic Occlumens is a person who achieved clearance of mind. His memories are sorted and stable, in order for the person to easily control his emotions and in time of need clear his mind in order to intercept the attack. The Usual practise is a creation of a mind library but the final outcome would always be unique to a person. The creation of the library has also a warning function. The Occlumens can now feel his memory being accessed which gives him the chance of stopping the intrusion.
2. Medium occlumency- a medium Occlumens in addition of possessing a mind library formed also a sort of barrier, widely called an occlumency barrier. It's a barrier surrounding the entire library created with intent magic. Such a barrier completely stops the intrusion from accessing the memories and forces the intruder to look for weak points in the barrier giving the Occlumens precious time to protect himself. Such barrier can of course be simply overpowered if the Legilimens is more magically powerful than the Occlumens. That's where the third stage of occlumency comes in to play.
3. Master occlumency - A master Occlumens needs to poses a strong imagination. Such person creates a sort of an imaginary realm called a mindscape. Its basically a defense system where other than the occlumency barrier, memories are protected by creations of own mind. Some records say of mind library's protected inside powerful castles surrounded by moats and magical creatures or hidden deep inside a jungle or a labyrinth. It's uniqueness gives the best protection yet is the hardest to create. For other uses of a personal mindscape read page 27.'

HAHAHA!
Five Minutes. Cataloguing memories and putting them into a sort of mind library took me Five minutes!
I also realized that it increased the speed of my thinking, and improved my eidetic memory. Really? I thought I already had an impossibly fast mind but now? I really don't understand why Occlumency is not widely practiced. It's Awesome! And I know that I managed to reach stage one so fast only because of the cheat that god gave me, but even without it it shouldn't be so hard.Right?
Anyway. 'Let's try making a barrier.' I thought.
.
.
.
I woke up the next day with a familiar headache of magical exhaustion. I thought that I must have did something wrong, but when I peered into my mind I could feel a thin barrier encasing my memories.
'I DID IT' i shouted in my head, I learned from my past mistake of course so no one looked at me like at a possessed child HAHAhaha ha....
I started examining the barrier. It was really weak, and could be easily trespassed but now I had a base that I could strengthen and train on, before attempting the creation of a mindscape. I wonder how long it would take me to create it?

Time skip (POV change... I can't decide!!!)
Six months later. The first birthdays of Konrad arrived. They were rather boring but at least he got a piece of cake. Konrad had to remind himself that original Harry didn't get any cake until Hagrid brought him one at his eleventh birthday. He would need to do something about that, since it was only three months before he would land at Dursley's Doorstep. There was no good way to stop the death of his parent, it was sad because he liked them, but he didn't have any means to stop Voldemort as of yet. His magic power was only about one fifty of his mother's. He could tell thanks to the training he did in magic perception, and magic manipulation.
His training regime worked like this- First he spend a lot of time in a meditative state trying to perceive the movements of magic, then he would order the magic to move inside and outside of his body, every now and then performing spells which he was also observing and analyzing. Then he would start working with his occlumency trying to improve his barrier and understand the laws of the mindscape, before forcing himself to a state of magical exhaustion, which not only caused him to instantaneously fall asleep but also was the fastest way to increase his magic power, according to his calculations. Totally worth the headache in the morning.
He also had a breakthrough in his occlumency around a month ago. After realizing how to use magic in building his mindscape, and how much it depended on his imagination. Konrad began the creation of the sickest mind scape ever created and the first move in the creation of the strongest occlumency was...Digitalization!!! Yes he transformed his entire mind library onto a computer with a password. It would act as the final obstacle for the old-fashioned wizards. He had big plans for his mind scape, sadly he still needed much more magical power to create what he imagined. At the moment the computer with his memories lied in a corner of a control room where a big computer acted as a decoy. The control room lied in the center of a labyrinth of futuristic corridors filed with droids, clones, turrets, traps Jedi and Sith... Yes! You guessed that right. This entire labyrinth lied in the center of a fully functional Death Star. Creating it took Konrad a whole month but boy it was worth it, if only for the sight when he visited his mindscape that came to him easier and easier. At the moment Konrad was in the process of creating starfighters and gunships around for additional protection, before the attacker even entered the Death Star. His entire Mindscape is only going to grow bigger with time yet Konrad already considered it very formidable.
——————
The next three months Konrad spend training like always. He could see his parents looking more and more worried, until finally The 31st of October came. Halloween.
"Lily!!! Take Konrad and run!!!"

Ha! You thought it was Voldemort, but it's a me, Author!
What to do with the soul piece? So many ideas... eat it, purify it, keep it for later as a compas? Do you think that house Potter still has house elves?
All of this and more in the next chapter.
