Getting Settled (Edited)

Magus POV:

I slowly started to stir due to the sunlight coming down on my face.

'I don't want to move, the sounds of the waves and wind and the smell of the ocean is soothing me back to unconsciousness. Maybe a few more minutes…..'

'Huh, where did the sunlight go? Maybe it's a cloud..yeah it will come back…..'

[BOOOOM]

"AH WHAT THE HELL!! *cough* *cough* I'M UP DAMN IT! What the hell was that?!?"

I quickly assessed my surroundings.

"Ok, I'm on a beach, why am I on a beach? Oh, and it looks like a wave hit me, well that answers one question."

'Ah right, the memories are coming back to me. So I wasn't dreaming, am I really in the Harry Potter world? Well, then this would be the Peverell island, right? wait if this is real then..'

I looked down to inspect myself, and yep it's confirmed. Tiny hands, tiny body, tiny legs, look inside my pants and yup tiny dick.

A few strands of hair were falling down the side of my face, and I confirmed it was silvery white. I walked up to the water and splashed some more water in my face to make sure it's real and looked at my reflection.

'Yep, its official, I look like a 5-year-old ban.'

I decided to take stock of my situation.

'I met my new? Or old family, I guess. Turns out, I'm the son of Thanatos, the primordial god of death, grandson of Hypno, the primordial god of sleep, and Nyx the primordial goddess of the night (AKA: the ULTIMATE LOLI).

I have a major divinity for shadows and minors in magic, space, and death. My mother's soul is trapped in my shadow, and while she won't feel pain or the concept of time, she can't become fully conscious and separate until I'm strong enough to make it safe for her.

My family helped me set the core of my powers based around the MC from 'solo leveling.' I was sent into the Harry Potter world to train and become familiar with my abilities, and I have a few missions to complete. Oh, and I have a HUD, damn, that's awesome!'

Looking around, it seems that my HUD that my dad set me up with works based on my thoughts.

If I don't want to know something, it goes to the corner of my vision, but when I think about it, it comes closer to my line of sight.

In the upper left corner, I have a blue and green bar, that seems pretty self-explanatory. I thought about knowing more about it and showed [10/10] for blue (mana) and [Child] for green (stamina). Not sure how much those values are, but it seems pretty low. Beneath the two bars was a few tabs I could focus on.

One Showed [Missions], so I thought about wanting to see more, and some information popped up on a small blue screen.

[Missions:

Harry Potter World:

 Destroy all three Hallows. 0/3

 Destroy all of Voldemort's Horcrux's. 0/6

 Find at least three women who are willing to eternally be with you. 0/3

 Gather magical species as shadows 0/10. Gather wizards as shadows. 0/20

 Win the Tri-Wizard Tournament. 0/1

Each Mission fulfilled unlocks another 10 summon slots. All missions must be completed by the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament.]

'Ok, it seems all the missions we spoke about are there. It's nice to see it written down, it makes it more fun this way.'

Beneath the [Missions] tab were four others, [Summons], [Alerts], [Abilities], and [Inventory]. I don't have any shadow summons, so that tab is empty aside from showing me my current limit and some info.

[Summons:

0/30

4 stages of evolution, every time a Shadow reaches level 5 from its current evolution, it will evolve to its next stage. Wizards will unlock new spells, and magical animals will unlock new abilities. Soldiers without abilities will gain them upon evolution. ]

Following that, Alerts looked like my old Gmail account. I can't send anything, but I can receive information this way.

[Alerts:

Message from Dad!

'I think I'll start treating my HUD like a laptop interface.' I mentally clicked on the message, and a new screen appeared in front of me.'

Hey son,

I hope you got there alright. I know you're probably excited to jump into everything, but let me give you a few final notes before I leave you alone.

First, I want you to know that your HUD is not a real system. It's based on your divinities, and the more you use it, the more your human half will blend with your divine half. Your divine half will continue to strengthen you as you age.

Every year on your birthday, your magic bar will increase by 100 points, and your physique will be slightly enhanced. You can also increase your mana by training, think of it like a muscle. Your stamina bar works like this:

[Stamina:

Physique:

Child – adult – athlete – soldier – Olympic athlete – warrior/special ops – the peak of humanity.

Each level stands for increases in strength, speed, dexterity, Constitution, and mana recovery.

Mana is recovered through the mana in the environment. The stronger the body, the faster your body can safely absorb mana. Each stage increases Mana recovery by 2%. ]

In your last life, even with the seal holding back your divinity, you were able to reach the peak of humanity by the age of 25. Using your experience and new resource, I'm sure you will be able to reach it once more before you turn 18 and have to leave.

We are giving you this information so that when you reach the next world, and all your stats start from 0, you will always be stronger than those at your current level.

While your Mana bar works like this:

[Magic:

10% mana recovery per minute

Wizardry magic – 1 mana per basic spell, 3 mana per intermediate spell, 10 mana per advanced spell

Shadow Summons:

1st evolution summons – 1 mana a minute, no mana in shadow form

Wizards summons use 1 mana for basic spells

Animal and warrior summons use 1 mana for basic abilities, no mana used for physically attacking

2nd evolution summons – 3 mana a minute, no mana in shadow form

All summons uses 3 mana for intermediate spells and abilities, no mana used for basic spells and abilities

3rd evolution summons – 10 mana a minute, no mana in shadow form

All summons uses 10 mana for advanced spells and abilities, no mana used for basic and intermediate spells and abilities.

Final evolution summons – 100 mana a minute

100 mana used for strongest attack; no mana used for any other ability. ]

Seeing as how Wizardry magic has a wide range of spells, you will have to choose a class for any wizard you make into a summon. I'll leave that as a surprise for the moment. Just know that each class starts with a spell, and the amount will only increase when they evolve. Only Wizards have classes.

Following this, in your abilities tab, I've placed all the abilities you currently have. Take a look, and you should intuitively understand how to use your shadow-based abilities, it will take practice to get it perfect.

Your Inventory is self-explanatory, just reach in and think about what you want, and it will appear, if you forget what's in there you can organize it will the customization option. I highly recommend that you try and understand how it works for working on your minor space divinity.

Now I'll leave you to it son, make the most of this world. It will serve you well in the long run.

Love you,

Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa

PS If you manage to die, then you will have to start all over again, and I WILL make it a painful experience. My son or not, it's no excuse to go throwing your life away. If you die in battle, then it's a different story, fight smart son.

PSS Check your pockets.]

"Wow this was incredibly helpful, thanks guys I'll try and do my best." After reading the message, a lot of how my situation works made sense to me.

'Seeing how I will want to use my summons a lot, I think its best if I focus on my physical abilities. I'll still learn the spells, but in a fight, I would rather have my shadows use spells so I can conserve my mana while I use physical means.'

After thinking about it, I reread that last line and looked down at my pants. I felt something in my right pocket, so I pulled it out, and one of the most useful things in this world was waiting for me. It's the Peverell family heir/lord's ring.

The ring was made out of some kind of black metal I couldn't identify with the family symbol of a triangle with a circle and vertical line in the center.

For one of the oldest families in magical Britain, it doesn't look all that flashy. It feels kind of stylish in a noble manner and considering it was glowing slightly, I was damn sure it's enchanted.

Deciding to trust my father and not expect the ring to kill me for attempting to put it on, I placed it on my right hands ring finger. I'm pretty sure the left ring finger is for marriage, so hopefully this is correct.

I felt something prick my skin, and it seemed the ring was testing my blood. It appeared to be scanning me, and eventually, it gave off a 'ping' sound, and I got my first real glimpse of magic.

It seems the ring accepted me because instead of pain, my body got flooded with an extremely comfortable feeling, and when I took a look, it seems I was getting a boost.

My mana bar was shooting up, and my stamina bar was blinking rapidly. After a few minutes, my mana stopped at [110/110], and while my physique still showed child, it was giving off a golden glow, which I assume means I'm close to the next stage.

'Haha, this is great! No wonder lords of houses were so much stronger than others, being a lord came with a lot of perks.'

As soon as I finished that thought, I felt a massive drain coming from the ring, and it felt like I just got hit by a truck with how sudden it was. I fell to my knee's dry heaving in the sand and trying to regain my breath.

'Not great! I take it back! This is not cool!'

Looking at my mana bar, it stopped at [10/110], as I was trying to figure out where my mana went, I felt the ground beneath me shake a bit and looked up.

'Oh, that's why this happened.'

Like a beast awakening from a long hibernation, ward lines the covered the entire island came to life. The fog covering the island, which I never really noticed, started to fade.

It looked like the sky was hosting the aurora of the north pole. Looking into the distance, I could make out the entire island, and while it wasn't insanely large, it was still a good couple of football fields in size.

Right in the center of the island was the mansion, which seemed to start glowing and making a humming noise. It looked a bit run down from the years, but I'll deal with it later.

The island was shaped like a circle with the mansion in the center and a sandy beach on the coast.

On the right side of the house, there was what looked like a big greenhouse that I'm assuming holds magical plants, it seemed to turn on with the rest of the wards based on its slight glow.

On the left side was what I believe is the garden/farm where regular food is grown. There also seems to be a glow coming from beneath the dirt, so I assume there is some kind of ward array there.

From where I'm standing, behind the house, I could see a small hill, that probably has a beautiful cliff to enjoy the view at the top of (and possibly to dump bodies off of since this was a necromancer type family). As well as some marked off areas, I would assume they used to hold magical animals.

And in front of the house was actually a beautiful flower garden that seemed to be held in stasis. There is a glow coming from the dirt, and they seemed to be slowly coming back to life but still fast enough to notice by looking.

'I'm not sure where all my mana went, but if the information I'm getting from this ring is right, then I just reactivated all the wards on the island. I'm not sure how the island stayed hidden, but it seems like I have to make my way to the hearthstone to get some answers.'

Right then, I heard a pop, and unfortunately, being a 5-year-old, I had to look up slightly to see the 4 house-elves that appeared in front of me.

""My lord!"" They all bowed before me. The ring fed me some new info; it seems that I woke up these elves from their stasis. They look just like the movie! Look at them!

Standing at a few inches taller than my child self, way too big eyes for their heads, slight greyish skin, and long floppy ears.

'At least they're not wearing rags like dobby.' They were wearing what looked like mini butler uniforms with the Peverell symbol stitched into the fabric on the front.

'Oh, right, I should say something!' I tried to make myself sound a bit dignified.

*cough* "Peverell house elves, my name is Magus E. Mor, and I am the new heir to the Peverell line as acknowledged by the family magic. Please stand and state your names." 'There that should work.'

The house-elves looked up at me, and I could swear they were like kids on a sugar rush. From right to left, they began with the oldest looking one starting.

"This one's name is Timy my lord, I was the original head elf sir." Oh good, at least his speaking skills are not too bad.

"This one's name is Gol my lord."

"This one's name is Sil my lord."

"This one's name is Bron my lord."

Thank god whoever named them had some common sense! I mean what's with all house-elves having names that rhyme! These guys are easy to remember with names based on gold, silver, and bronze.

"Thank you, Timy, Gol, Sil, and Bron. From now on, as your new master, I have a few rules to make."

'Damn it guys! Don't make that excited expression! You look like perverts!'

"The first rule, you will never inflict self-harm upon yourselves if you think you did something wrong! If you're not sure, then come to me, and I'll decide. The second rule, I have a hobby of cooking." I had to stop there to take in the horrified looks on their faces.

'Seriously, guys stop! What the hell has been programmed into you! I'm actually feeling bad looking at their faces'

"I won't stop you from cooking, but let's say I like 'playing with food,' yeah, I like playing in the kitchen. You can watch over me while I'm there, deal?" Seeing them nod their heads with smiles, I continued.

"The third rule, you may call me whatever you wish, but I need you all to understand that while you work for me, you are NOT slaves. As long as you are loyal to me, then you are a part of my family.

So remember this, we will always help each other as a family. If you need me to help you or simply as someone to talk to, then I want you to come to me. Is that understood?"

Seeing them nod again, but with confused expressions, I let out a sigh. 'What am I going to do with these guys? House-elves may have been created by wizards, but I'm sure whatever spells were programmed into their minds have seriously messed them up.'

Almost as if understanding my intentions, my heirs ring sucked out my newly recovered mana and caused me to once again faceplant into the sand. 'What the hell man! What was that for?'

""Thank you my lord!"" All my elves thanked me for some reason, and when I felt a strange feeling connecting me to them, I realized what happened.

My heir ring bonded the elves to me, they are officially my elves now. But it didn't end there as the one tab I never looked at started blinking rapidly.

"Hold on one-second guys." Seeing them nod, I mentally clicked on the [Abilities] tab I haven't got to yet, and a new screen appeared.

'Holy shi….. damn it guys you're spoiling me rotten, and I am very ok with that!'

Then I looked back at my elves and back to Shadow Servants. Now I understand why It was trying to get my attention. It seems all my abilities really do work based on my intentions. This is really exciting! But let's talk to them first.

"So guys…I have a deal I want to offer you." Seeing their happy faces, I couldn't help but internally scream.

'SHOW SOME SUSPICION GUYS! WHOEVER MADE HOUSE ELVES WAS DEFINITELY A SUPER SADIST!'

(Author notes: It was Sougo: The Super Sadist! if you get the reference, then props to you.)
