We spend the next weeks preparing for school, when the word got out that I stayed at the Patils and Dunbars, they suddenly became quite popular. My guardians did a press release, explaining I never received any of the fan mail and was raised by muggles, not in a castle.

I introduced them to my meditation place, meaning the empty dungeon. "It helps with my magic control, and it relaxes me."

I got to Level 12 by the end of the month. My Observe is at lvl 45 now and is starting to show more than some name and age. With the goblin dungeon, I developed some kind of radar sense. Through my magic, I sense their presence, so I rarely get ambushed anymore. It is a part of Mage Sight because that is leveling up fast.

Anyway, tomorrow it is time to leave for Hogwarts.

I admit those weeks were well spent. At Gringotts, I received the Black Heir ring, the Slytherin ring accepted me, there was no Gaunt Heir ring. We found out that we controlled the Daily Garbage with a share of more than 55%. This set me in a nice position. The potion regime did wonders too, it corrected everything including my eyes. I grew several inches and gained some pounds. A week before school, late at night, I flamed to St Mungo's and cured Neville's parents in their sleep. That was my good deed of the month. I started to like warding, every day I learned something new, and got quite skilled with it.

Skill books are a real cheat, I learned several new Rune languages from the Patil library, they even had some old tomes about Parcel Magic. I discovered by absorbing dictionaries I learned Latin, French, old Greek, Gaelic, and Scotch from Dunbar, Indian, Sanskrit, and old Egyptian from the Patils.

Anyway, we were ready to floo to the train. Parvati was on a sugar high, she could not stand still for a minute. Fay and Padma were more relaxed. At nine-thirty we took the floo, any later and Parvati would go berserk. The early bird gets the worm, or the early worm gets eaten? We were not the first, but definitely in the top ten.

I asked a prefect: "Hello, we are firsties, what wagon is the best choice to sit in for us?" She answered: "The last three wagons are a good choice, the first two years usually take those." "Thank you, Miss, any other advice you can give us?" She shrugged: "Get your Hogwarts clothes on before we arrive, and have fun, meet new people, make friends. That's about it."

We talked to the parents on the platform, while Parvati searched for a good spot. Lavender joined Parvati in the sugar-high madness. We attracted more people, the Abbots came to say hello, Susan was with them. The Greengrasses too, I brushed the hands with my lips like a proper Heir is supposed to do. Hannah and Susan blushed a nice shade of red, Daphne already had her Occlumency Shields up so her face showed nothing, Astoria was here too, although she looked sick.

I am a sucker for sick children, so I silently dispelled the curse on the family when I greeted them. Only Astoria noticed something changing but said nothing.
