Chapter 3: Chp. 3 Learning magic or at least trying to!
"Wingardium leviosa." My colour stars to float.
You must be confused by the time gap, so as to fill in, after nap what followed was a very mundane day. Me and Papa,well Papa was home by the time I woke up from my nap, we played and what an experience that was, I thought since I have memories of my 20 year old self I would not like playing as an toddler but being a toddler is very distracting every little thing grasp my attention and I have to say it was very entertaining to play. It's that when I realized it's like when you have, let's say, want to go to Paris for example, but you have not gone their and someone shows you pictures of Paris and says now you know the place, but it's very different to actually experience then to have a picture in your head, everything is new to me because it's my first time experiencing these things as Ava. After that Papa told me to play by myself and he says he is working, his job is not done for the day so he will work from home but then mom came home and we had dinner and then I was knocked out to a dreamless sleep, some things never change like my night sleep, I very rarely dream be in this life or the before. Then we repeat the same thing and now I am alone trying to figure out magic.
After doing the leviosa I realised few things and before that I figure out few things. That is mind is important.
You know I just realised but to do magic any kind first your mind need creation,you simply need a creative mind, and second you have to be able to visualize your creation, anything that you cannot visualize is not possible, and third is the belief, that it will come true or you can say your will power need to be strong because it's like you are willing your surrounding to change according to you.
Looking at Harry Potter series you will realise that anytime they don't mean it or believe it they are not able to cast the specific magic.
Another thing, I have a theory about wandless magic which is I believe, you don't have to be a strong magical wizard or witch to able to perform wandless magic,no anyone can do it, who can do magic, the reason for me making this statement is children often do magic without a wand and now you will say it's accidental magic which children under age 11 often do but they don't mean for it to happen. Well if you remember Harry's mother Lily, when she was a child she and Severus use to pass flowers and leaves to each other by magic she even made a flower bloom and even has tried to fly while riding a swing and they both did knowingly with intention but they stop doing magic without wand after entering Hogwarts.
So I am going to do it with intention and no over thinking and creatively and not going to stop even after Hogwarts and all this thinking is making me a little sleepy.
I plucked a bud of flower from my garden and then make it to bloom, it was a daisy and it bloomed right in my hands and the more I succeed in magic the more confident I became the more firmer my belief become and start doing different kinds of things.
I first messed by bed by magic making my pillow float without saying anything and I know it's going to float because I have did it before, then my quilt and bedsheet and I was having so much fun that in my excitement I accidentally loose control and now all things in my room starts floating, oops and now my room is messed. So I willed my bed to be made and it did not because I did not visualize it properly and I tried again and it did it but not quite as I want it,so in frustration I did it again with the strongest bit of force and click it, happened perfectly and after that I did it again to clean my room. But it was not perfect. I will need spells for it but so be it. After doing all this thing I was tired,very tired actually, so rubbing my eyes I ate my food and go to sleep.
Next day, I planned for how I will train. So art is the best way to be creative and art is able to express emotions too, so I will add art in my schedule and meditation to train my mind, and physical exercise and yoga for flexiblity after all a healthy body means a healthy mind. Music, drawing and dancing is I am interested in so let's talk to my parents about it.
(4years later)
It's been 4 years, I have been doing same thing everyday. Daily I woke up in the morning in ungodly hours do stretchings, then exercise and then I go for a run after that I go for swimming, leaving only on winters because we have an outdoor pool so pool is frozen in winter. After my hygiene routine I do yoga and meditation. Let me tell you meditation turns out to be such a great idea, I can now control my magic much better and I did not have any accidental magic boute since then,I always performs control magic. Ooh and I can clear my mind now to be black for about like 10 minutes, thought I don't thing this is enough to keep anyone from sneaking a peak of my mind but I am sure when I start learning Occumlry I will be able to learn it fairly well. Going back to my routine after that I go to school, go to piano lessons, go to ballet and then home spend time playing, bonding with my parents, on Saturdays or Sundays going to Library to check out the history section. After all that right before going to sleep exhausts myself playing with magic and then get knocked into dreamless sleep. Oh and I always sleep on time and gets proper rest because I know once you messed up your sleep cycle it take a lot of effort to correct it, and how do I know it! past wisdom.
The only exception has been, whenever we goes on vacation. Let me tell you we have been to many places in different parts of the world apparently it was one of my parents dream to travel all over the world. I can say with confidence I have enough memories to produce a Pantronus from it. We have been in mountain, beaches, forest, camping and what not. But today is going to be a stressful day for me because I am going to do magic in front of my parents it's not like they do not have any in linking to it after all before my control on my magic their had been many incidents of them coming in contact with it and that is why now Merry does not babysits me anymore when they are not here and Of course they believe me to be mature enough to be left alone in house.
So there goes nothing, we are all sitting on sofa watching TV and I am focused on screen before my eyes when an ad start to play and to change the channel I stretch my arms toward the TV remote and it floats your my hand and I changed the channel. I am hyper aware of my parents exchanging looks between them but they said nothing no reaction, ok no reaction ok. That night I sneak to their room to eavesdropping to their dialogue and it goes something like this I remember-
"Charles did you notice what happened in downstairs? " Mom asked.
"I was sitting right their Grace how could I not, let's not talk about it, to me Ava is my child that is all no matter how special she is. " Dad replied.
" That's true my baby has always been special and I always knew it, nothing changes. " Mom said.
That is how that fasco ends. It was important for me to know my parents will not change and believe me to be some incarnation of devil or something. Ooh before I forgot I gotta tell this my magic has gotten stronger after my 7th birthday and it's flowing more smoothly, there was a big difference between before and after my 7th birthday.
