Leaving Snape and Quirrell to deal with the troll, we left the bathroom, heading to our respective dorms. Before splitting off at one of the corridors, Hermione whispered, "Thank you, John. You were amazing."

"I'm just glad you're okay, Hermione."

Soon enough, I was back in my bed, allowing sleep ...

"Hello, master Dragon, sir!" the elf chirped. The elf was smaller than the others, with large, bat-like ears and bright, inquisitive eyes that seemed to take in every detail. The lack of wrinkles clearly letting on his young age. "I be Tibby, sir. How can Tibby help sir?" The elf's eyes shone almost as much as Dobby’s from w...

"Alright, guys and ladies. Hermione will be joining us for our study session today," I announced, not too loud, considering where we were, but loud enough to get the table's attention. When we got there, the group was already spread out with their books and papers strewn across the table.

OK, now I can go find Tonks. I didn't want to just walk up to her in the Great hall or creep around either. The problem was that she wasn't much of a library person either. But it's the weekend now, I have time to find her.

McGonagall regarded me for a long moment, then finally nodded. "Very well, Mr. Grey. This is highly unusual, but I will speak with the other professors. If your performance on Saturday's test is satisfactory, we will consider arranging the rest of the advancement tests."

"Thank you, Professor. I'll see you then,...

Before going to sleep though, I lazily brandished my wand and got started on an alarm Charm and some wards. Nothing too crazy, just weak proximity and intrusion wards powerful enough to stop Newt level students. Then I was out like a log.

"So, if I understand correctly," I began, "tuition at Hogwarts will be free for me up until I do my…O.W.Ls, and I could also qualify for the Grade-Based Scholarship based on my academic performance for my N.E.W.Ts, or take a loan to fund it. At least, that's what I was told. Is that still the case?"

With a nod of acknowledgement, Dumbledore stepped away from Moody and withdrew his wand. With a swift incantation, his travelling cloak transfigured into a formal suit, fitting for an official government representative.

Thoughts #2

A few things to get through.

AN 1: I got a few people who wanted me to close up the plot whole, which was “What happened to his parent's stuff?”. Honestly, I still couldn’t make up my mind to put more detail on it because I was on the fence as to how much I should give him and if he was to get a family home, then where would it be, how b extravagant it should be or would it even mat...

Chapter 5: Earning Points

Along with the new spells, I can also feel the assimilated improvements to the spells I have already learned, along with the increase in magical control. If this is anything like chakra, it should mean less wasted magic when casting spells. I’ll have to test them another time though. Might as well heal some of the other patients, if I a...

Thoughts #1

Considering the dumb decisions they made in the movies, starting at 11 does make a lot of sense. I don't see more 16/18-year-olds making those decisions either. With him having Essense Of Archmage though, he will still breeze through Hogwarts but just not like a one-year thing.

I'm also moving towards the whole "purebloods keeping masteries to themselves" type thing, like how in the past ...

A/N: Looking back, 80% of this chapter was unnecessary. I wanted to show the fact that his mind was improved by just showing the different things going through it, basically improved vocabulary that he wouldn't normally be using etc, but it ended up being some kind of philosophical rant that went on too long.
