Improvement and more

The next day Matthew woke up early in the morning and had a nice Breakfast with his Parents before they left for work since he didn't see them the whole day yesterday. After enjoying a nice breakfast prepared by his mother, he was finally alone at home. He changed into some of his workout clothes and entered the garden of their family home.

It was time for him to try out the new strength level of his spells, after completing a spiritual maturation he should have reached a new level. He needs to regain control over his magic and familiarize himself with his new power level.

Inside the garden, he approached one of the thick trees, which he would use as his target for spell practice. After all, he didn't have any actual dummies with him, something he should note down to correct in the future.

He decided it was best to start with a simple spell so he couldn't do much damage. But a tree was different from a practice dummy a stinging hex would probably not indicate how strong he had become. The only Spells he practiced on trees before were cutting piercing Curses and the Knockback jinx. He decided it was in his best interest to try the Knockback jinx since he couldn't just repair the Tree with a mending charm since it was a living thing. His mother would get angry at him if he destroyed their nice and homely garden.

The last time he cast a Knockback Jinx on a Tree it barely shook, he decided to first try it out without his wand since it would only make his spells even more powerful. After aiming with his hand he cast "Flipendo!" and a blue glowing projectile left his hand. It flew fast against the Tree, the whole Tree began to shake and even moved a few centimeters backward. A lot of leaves dropped from its branches onto the green grass of their garden.

"Yeah don't destroy the garden, my Ass." Cursed Matthew as he stared at the results of his Knockback Jinx, "Mom, will definitely know someone most likely I, did something to the garden. Haaah, Damn it. Well Sarah can you compare the Spell to my old strength level for me?" he requested his AI Chip.

[Beep! Calculation Complete. The Knockback Jinx became 72% stronger than previously recorded attempts.]

"Huh, so my spells became almost Two Thirds stronger than before. That's a nice power-up for my age. But I will have to learn to control my new power." Muttered Matthew while thinking how he should continue. He decided a nice way to become better was to clean up the mess he just did.

So he began to practice gathering the leaves with his levitation charms until he was able to do it flawlessly again. After that he tried to vanish them while controlling his power level, it took a few tries to find the appropriate strength level he mostly held too much back and only vanished a few leaves until he found the right level.

After he finished cleaning up he began to practice with different kinds of harmless charms, like the wand-lighting charm 'Lumos' or the mist-conjuring charm 'Fumos'. He spent the whole morning practicing with simple spells before he prepared a quick lunch for himself.

He finished his lunch and returned to the garden, it was time to continue with his wand. After he familiarized himself with his wand again he moved to more advanced types of magic, like creating Portals. The first few tries he failed miserably they were either too small or in the completely wrong place, but after a while, he once again managed to open Portals successfully.

Next, he began to try cutting charms on a few leaves of the tree. He would target only single leaves and cut them as precisely as possible from the tree. Once he managed that he felt he had once again full control of the strength of his magic.

As his parents returned from Work, they had a nice dinner together. After spending the evening with his Parents he retired to his room. It was time for an important Spell. He needed to reapply the training spells on his mind for the second part of his Occlumency.

He once again carved the isolation formation onto the floor, he had no worries about damaging the Floor here since he could easily fix it with the mending charm this time. After all his floor wasn't alive. Once he finished charging the rune formation he stepped into the middle of it and sat down in a Lotus Position and began to relax.

Once he felt he was ready he began to reapply the Spell, this time he needed to do it twice since he already completed the first level of the Spell. As he cast the spell for a second time he once again felt a short but stabbing pain in his head, but this time much weaker than before. It was proof that he already completed a large part of the second level.

After he applied the Spells on himself he felt that his perception was once again numbed down. Everything felt slower, but he had no problem with controlling his body and walking into things this time. After all, he already trained on this level for a while. Once he got the Confirmation that everything was working correctly he breathed out in relief. Now he was once again continuing his Occlumency training. He would have to apply the third level of the Spell after he returned to Hogwarts. Matthew was unsure if he should use the Room of Requirements while Quirrelmort was inside the Castle, after all, he didn't want to cause any unforeseen consequences, like him hiding the Horcrux somewhere else.

Matthew had no worries about Quirrelmort using legillimency on him, after all his Occlumency shields were very powerful. And if he should manage to break through them, which he doubted he could in his wraith form, it would be another matter if he had his body back but as a wraith, he was very weak, but in the end, his memories were still encrypted by Sarah so nobody who broke into his mind could actually read them. But he had to make sure to prepare a set of nice fake ones so Quirrelmort wouldn't get suspicious of him if he even tries to read his mind. But better be safe than sorry.

After finishing reapplying the Spells on his brain, Matthew began to clean up his room and fix the Spell formation on his Floor. Once he completed that he began to prepare for sleep once again, but before that, he gave Sarah a few tasks to complete. Although he finished everything he wanted to accomplish before his Hogwarts Shopping list would arrive, which was still a few weeks away, he could still work on some side projects. The first project he decided to work on was improved versions of the Polyjuice Potion.

He gave Sarah specifications for multiple improved versions. For his Personal use, he decided to create two different ones. One with a similar effect to the original one but with a faster brewing time and a better taste. The second one is a Permanent one with a counter Potion to return the Users Original Form.

Secondly, he decided to create an improved formula to sell to Slughorns Apothecary once again. A slightly faster version to create, but not much, most importantly it also should be tasteless. He believed this would bolster his passive income massively.

Once everything was in order, he cleaned himself up and went to sleep. Since he had the next few days of experimentation before him. After a while, he fell deeply asleep.
