Chapter 5) Next Day

After returning from this soiree, we gathered around the table.

"You did well, Manuel, and you did well, too, Daphne."

The father was clearly in a good mood .

"My son, what did you see in Draco?"

"He is proud, well-mannered, knows a little etiquette and is fond of intellectual games."

" Is there anything else to add?"

"He is friends with two idiots and they are with him clearly because their parents forced them, as well as several other small families want to get to his father through him."

"Well, I always knew that you were precocious and quick-witted. You'll make a great head of the family."

Maybe he would . If I didn't have access to emptiness and big ambitions.

"Yes, Father, I will not disappoint you"

"Daphne , do you want to say something ?"

"Well, they are obviously not as smart as my brother, he also often says what a great father he has."

" Well, my daughter, few people can be better than your brother, as your father said, he is precocious and with his aspiration in magic, he will become a great wizard."

My mother said that she was right , I was going to surpass the 4 founders , and for this I would definitely need a lot of knowledge .

" Well, it's been a long day today, you can go rest."

After saying goodbye to my parents, we went to the library.

While we were walking to the library, I was thinking about various ways to wake up the cores. First, I can draw magical energy from the air and direct it into the core, slowly stimulating it at such a pace to awaken it. This option has many disadvantages and unknowns. At first it's hard to attract magic energy without having my own, also I do not know how magic energy will affect my body when mine is still sleeping in the core, also I do not know how it will affect my core in the future, it is also a very slow method. I do not know how long and how intensely I should stimulate it. And this method is definitely not suitable for my sisters, because of its complexity and monotony. Although Daphne can try, but definitely not Astoria.

The second method is again through emotions, I can jump from a high place and because of this stress my magical energy will awaken itself. Or I can get some kind of stress. This method also has a lot of problems, firstly it may not work out the first time and it is quite dangerous and parents are unlikely to be happy if I make a jump out of the window. You can also use the void. Although this method has problems like the first one . Maybe I can do a ritual ?

Pov Daphne

As we walk to the library, my brother is deep in thought again. He was always thoughtful and quick-witted. When I decided to play and almost fell , he caught me and lectured me to be careful . He behaves like an adult and one day I decided to look into his room. And he was sitting in an incomprehensible position. I then decided to ask him and he said that it was meditation and that it would be useful in the study of occlumency , sensitivity to magic , and it would also help in concentration .

I 've been practicing it secretly , and even though it 's terribly boring . I was able to hide my emotions more easily and I even once felt something inside my body. I didn't tell anyone about it, but after the library today, I was able to find out that I felt the magical energy that my brother talks about all the time. Although after our 4th year of birth I stopped feeling it, I think that because of this my brother is just thinking how to get it back. I can't understand his strong passion for magic, but thinking if I, like him, try to understand it, I will be able to understand his passion.

Pov Manuel

When I came to the library, I decided to delve even deeper into the understanding of magical energy, nuclei, and also found several books about rituals. Although they were in the depths of the library and in the dark magic section.

But since I was able to find her and her parents left her here, I think there's nothing dangerous. So several weeks passed and finally.

A few 6 months later.

I have read and delved into the essence of magical energy as much as our library allows . also about cores and rituals.

If everything is simplified, then magical energy is the energy found in all living and inanimate things. Once it was in abundance and people were stronger, especially wizards, also this energy allows you to create or control already existing elements in the world, by the way, elemental wizards were very common in ancient times. Also , the magic core is literally the second heart , through which magical energy passes . and it pushes him further along the body .

The very awakening of the core is to allow it to beat like a heart and start pumping magical energy. Of course, it performs the function of energy storage, reproducer, amplification and, of course, compression. Which is quite multifunctional, from this I realized that the best way for me to wake up is to use a ritual. However, there will be a mutation when my core may be overloaded and just break, then I will remain a squib forever. To avoid this, I either need to calculate the exact colic of the magical energy I need. Or it's too much to do. And then the emptiness comes out. Yes, I have already checked and to replenish the void I need to feed her magical energy, probably.

I do not know whether it is replenished or not. I drew magical energy from outside and tried to feed it to the void. She happily ate everything that I could attract, but did not increase a single gram. But she definitely didn't hurt me. So I need to calculate the ritual so that it attracts magical energy, I also need it to purify all magical energy and push it into me. From this, I will direct magical energy into the core and extra into the void. however, it's still dangerous, so I need fuses that won't let me die and become a squib. Haa it 's definitely going to be hard . For the ritual, I will need to study runes, numerology, and preferably spells. It's good that because of my soul, I have perfect memory and high computing power. Although I will prepare fully and accurately to avoid all mistakes. I hope I will have time before the age of 5.
