We don't value time. It is not important to us, but it ceases to be so when we have important things to do for you. That's when we begin to appreciate it. But it's already partially missed, isn't it? There are times when we look back and realize how much we could have done.

It's the same with me. When I first made plans for the future, I did not take into account the fact that other equally important matters might arise. For example, when I was a baby, the plan looked simple to me. Well, of course. Engage in self-development and, most importantly, engage in the development of magic. I didn't take into account social connections like my parents or possible friends, or education. After all, you have to go to school. It's good that my parents and I solved everything by walking around with this problem.

In fact, what happened? Not at all what I expected. And there were four main reasons for this.

The first is the development of the body. The body is a vessel. Without a strong and large vessel, it is impossible to pour a larger amount of "liquid" into it.

The second is reading books. The most common reading. To develop our horizons and increase our awareness of the world that surrounds us. The list of books includes not only textbooks teaching foreign languages, but also ordinary school subjects, as well as medical Talmuds.

Third is metamorphism. An inadmissible amount of time is spent on its development. At first, I had to give up reading books altogether in favor of developing this gift. Although this reason partially coincides with the planned plans.

Well, fourthly, time spent with parents. No matter how callous I may be, parents are sacred.

With all of the above, time slipped through my fingers like sand. And there's nothing you don't want to give up.

Time spent with parents is priceless. When we grow up we regret missed opportunities. And I regretted in the past world. That's why I spend as much time as possible without compromising my own development. I don't want to realize one day in my adult life that I didn't spend enough time with my parents, and they don't last forever.

Regarding your own development. I managed to achieve quite a lot. Every day I meditated, thereby passing mana through the mana channels. Because of this, they developed, strengthened, and expanded. I also increased my control. Every day after stabilization, my control grew by leaps and bounds. Now, remembering that unfortunate rattle, I can't help but smile. Then it seemed like an impossible challenge to me, but now... Lift at least 15 objects into the air? Just a piece of cake... Lift a total weight of 50 kg? No question... Just incredible...

There is also noticeable progress in metamorphism. At first I could only change the hair length. After a year I was able to change the color of my hair and eyes, as well as my skin. Now I can slightly change my build. With metamorphism itself everything is still not so simple. Mana is spent to change, and it also keeps the change active. But this is not enough to consolidate the change on a permanent basis.

The fact is that around the age of 6 I decided to replace all my muscles with pink ones. I was able to change it, but I couldn't fix it permanently. What have I not tried to do? And saturate the place of change with mana, oversaturate it, give a command to mana. It was all useless.

Studying medical books did not bring the expected results. To be honest, I started studying them much earlier, from the moment I learned about my ability. After all, knowing how the human body works is a crucial detail for metamorphism.

After reading and studying the medical Talmuds, some problems arose. The first metabolism of an ordinary person and a magician. If you compare what is written in the books and my observation of my own body, you can see the differences. The magician's body digests food better, about 1.5 times. As far as I remember, in the first book, Harry drew attention to the abundance of food on the festive table. Perhaps it's due to metabolism? Or is this just my speculation. The second is muscle structure. My body has more pink muscles than the average person. Somewhere by 4-5% percent. Perhaps this is due to the influence of mana or the body itself strives for ideal.

At least I know my primary goal in the magical world. Witch medicine. This is something I should know about. Perhaps Madam Pomfrey can help?

All these are matters for future years, let's return to my problem. I thought for a long time about how to solve it. And I found the answer in the basics. What is a body? This is the 1st shell. What is responsible for the life of the body? This is the 2nd shell. What is needed for change? That's right, prana. It is a product of the body's work, but it is also a resource for changing the same body. That's why I tried to consolidate the effect of change with prana. And I succeeded. True, I did not take into account a couple of facts.

The first is energy consumption. Pink muscles require much more nutrients. Consequently, my appetite increased. I have become much more hungry. About 2 times. It's good that with the help of metamorphism I can help my body absorb useful substances, and remove useful ones, so that they are not debugged in the body. Without this, I think I would have become 4 times larger, these are still the most positive forecasts.

By the way, about the muscles. Now they are all pink in my body. This increased my body average to 3 times my normal body size. It's good that I changed them gradually; I had time to get used to the increased indicators. Otherwise there would be problems...

Now I'm going to start modifying the bones. But it's much harder than with muscles. We'll still have to think through everything. Bones do not have the same "reserve" as muscles.

I also worked on building up the 7th shell. Every day he completely emptied his reserve several times and filled it almost completely. I also tried to cram more mana into it than it can hold. These two principles are the main training methods.

I declare with authority – it hurts. At first it seems that you are being inflated like a balloon, but then... You begin to understand a little more, and you will burst. To avoid this, I immediately released my mana in a single burst. Each ejection resembles the release of air from a perforated balloon. The ball is my body, and the holes are mana channels. With each release, part of the mana settles in my body. Perhaps this will lead to even greater amplification, but I cannot know for sure. There is not enough banal knowledge about the structure of the magician's body.

I did this in the backyard. What did you think? Not in the house? After my experiments, there would be little left of the house. And so, we, my parents and I, are the proud owners of the most beautiful backyard in the city. What's not there? And lush apple and birch trees, a beautiful lawn of grass, as well as incredible beautiful flowers. Mostly roses. Mom loves them very much.

It's my fault for having such a garden. I tried to direct each of my emissions not just into the atmosphere, but also into the ground. That's why we are the owners of such a backyard. The courtyard itself resembles a wilderness. Well, you know, wild forests are intoxicating with their beauty, just add rose bushes to this picture... Yes, it looks like a surreal picture, but that's what it is.

Regarding the 7th shell. If at the beginning of my journey I could give out, so to speak, one unit of mana (later EAT), now 132 times! This is an incredible amount for me. But I still don't know what the magicians' mana reserve is. I hope to find out on my birthday. Perhaps a magically saturated place contributes to the development of a magician, it's not for nothing that magicians who grew up on sources are usually stronger than others, but this does not satisfy the desire to find out the average reserve of magicians.

There is also something to tell about books.

First, I completely mastered etiquette. I hope I won't fall on my face in front of the aristocratic offspring.

The second is rituals. My family and I perform all the necessary rituals. Every time after performing it, you feel incredibly cheerful or clean (mainly after the ritual of cutting off the flesh, its meaning is to cut off the hair, nails, blood, etc. taken from me)

Third - runes. Oh runes. There is so much meaning in them, but only within the boundaries of our world. At the very beginning of the book it was stated that runes operate within the framework of our world. That's why I didn't experiment with this. As soon as I find a way to use them not only here, then experiments and experiments will begin.

Fourth – Occlumency. It's an incredible discipline. So much is hidden in it. This includes protection, structuring, improving memory, and giving false memories to those who are trying to read your memories.

The whole point of Occlumency comes down to working with the inner world and protecting your mind from external threats, both from mind magicians and from magical creatures such as dementors. To get into it you need to meditate on your 6th shell. It worked out great for me; many years of experience in meditation have an effect, albeit mainly on the 7th beginning.

My inner world is a library. But not an ordinary one, as you might think, there were no books in it. Instead of books, there were crystals. All these crystals were different. They differed in both shape and size, and color.

Some looked like colorful gemstones, and some looked like clusters of crystals in rock. Each crystal contained a certain layer of my knowledge or memory. The connection between them occurred through the fibers with which they were connected.

Over 6 years of active Occlumency studies, I managed to completely disassemble all these crystals and structure them. I also managed to create association chains between all my memory. And I found the main crystal. It was as if he was not in the library. The library itself is the core of my personality, the main crystal. And this is good. Agree, not every intruder will guess that the room itself, which looks like a hall consisting of blocks in which there are crystals on pedestals, is the core itself? I wouldn't have guessed it.

I also created active and passive protection. The passive one looks like a sphere that covers both the library itself and every crystal in it.

Active ones are false memories. I created duplicates of my memories in the library itself and covered them with false ones. These duplicates were under the sphere of protection. And the true ones were under them. Visually, it looks like a crystal within a crystal, covered with another layer of crystal on top.

In total, after training in Occlumency, processing speed increased 5 times. And I'll tell you this a lot, my brain already works very quickly due to the small amount of emotions and a well-developed 6th shell. Memory also improved. If before I remembered almost everything, now I remember absolutely everything. And I used it shamelessly. I memorized books, and then during training of the 7th beginning I "read" the memorized books. It's as if my sharingan from one clan of lupaglazik has erupted...

This is my progress throughout my short life so far. Now all I have to do is wait for the letter from Hogwarts, and there will be a new stage in my life.
