It's been two years… Two agonizing and extremely confusing years.
Agonizing, because I've spent these two years as a newborn baby… in an orphanage… in the 1970s.
And if that wasn't strange enough, my body has been changing in bizarre ways. Sometimes my skin changes color, sometimes my eyes, sometimes my hair. Occasionally, one of my arms becomes so buff it would put a bodybuilder to shame. Thankfully, my luck has held, and no one—the matron or the other orphans—has seen me during these transformations.
Oh, and there's something else. There's something odd in the air around me, some kind of energy. It doesn't seem to be doing anything right now, but considering this is the Harry Potter universe, I'd like to think it's magic. More on that later, though.
Why am I even in the Harry Potter world? I have no idea. I mean, I was a big fan of the series—watched the movies multiple times, read all the books, heck, I even read The Cursed Child. But I'm pretty sure I've watched more porn than Harry Potter content. And what was with that tunnel or bridge I went through after dying? Does every soul go through something like that?
Ah yes, if you're wondering how I know this is the Harry Potter universe—well, it's the name of the orphanage: Wool's Orphanage. The same place where Voldemort grew up. That's a pretty clear sign. Voldemort, by the way, is probably still alive right now, fighting a war.
The only good thing that's happened since I arrived is that I've managed to get a grip on my metamorphmagus abilities. After figuring out what universe I'm in, I realized I could control these transformations by focusing on my emotions. Instead of letting my body change randomly, I decided to keep it simple—white hair and blue eyes. This way, I stay in control.
Now, I'm at a loss for what to do. I guess I will leave it to future m..- NO! I have lived a underwhelming life once, though my mother never commented on my life I know she would have been more proud if ai had done something worth being remembered for. I didn't have any grand ambitions in my past life—I just coasted through. But now that I've been given a second chance, I don't want to waste it again. I'm not aiming to conquer the world or anything; that sounds way too bothersome. I just want to leave a mark, something meaningful.
So, here's my plan so far:
1. Earn Money: This is tricky. In my past life, I made most of my money online, but there's no internet here, and computers won't even be a thing until the 1990s. I thought about writing novels, but I'm terrible at writing, so that's a dead end. Stealing and winning tournaments might be my best options for now.
2. Learn New Things: Especially biology, and by extension, science. My metamorphmagus ability seems to tie into biology somehow, and maybe understanding science will help with learning magic. Also, I need to learn acting—since it complements my powers—and also I'm absolutely awful at it.
3. Build Physique: This one's tricky. I can alter my body to look more muscular, but I need to develop my base form too. Who knows when my powers might fail me?
4. Learn Magic: This is going to be hard since I now next to nothing about where to start, or seek Wizarding world even as there's a war going on ,but I'll have to give it a try.
Now that this is final, for any future problem I will just have to improvise a bit.
