Leading Hermione to one of the empty classrooms. I began to cast some charms like the notice-me-not and many more alert and defensive ones.
Hermione stares at me wide eye as I unusually use a non-verbal spell and charm. "Good, that will be enough. Now, if you please."
I gesture to the jar with my wand pointing at it. "Uh, yes. I will release you, but refrain from doing something stupid."
After she says that, she unscrew the jar, and the beetle immediately transforms back to her human form. "Please don't report me. I will do whatever you want."
Before she continued her bullshit, I immediately cast an expelliarmus. Waving my wand, I take her wand and bind her to the desk. "Now, we can talk. I can report you and earn a few favors from some Noble House that want you. If we want to avoid this, then I suggest we make a show of magic contract."
Right to the point, I didn't give her a way out and waited for her response. "What will it be? Fealty to me, Lord Hadrian James Potter, or an insignificant no name forgot by time?"
Hearing that, Rita immediately kneeled. "No, I will swear and oath."
"Good, now start." Still pointing at her, I waited. "I, Rita Skeeter, swear fealty to Lord Hadrian James Potter of House Potter to be faithful, truthful, and confine him with my findings as my occupation demands. So mote it be."
"Good, now,I want you to leave Hermione put of your gossiping and focu on me for the upcoming days. "First of all, create a gossip on now that I am recognized by the goblet of fire as a contestant. Doesn't this sanctify me as an adult by the Wizarding standard?
Also, create a rumor, some under current playing, forcing me to join the Triwizard tournament like a conspiracy. Do those and now begone."
With that, she transformed and fled. Hermione stares at me with questions at the tip of her tongue.
"Go on."
"How do you do the non-verbal magic? How do you know it is Rita, and what do you plan to do..."
"I have been training. I met her and knew her on a surface level, which is shown on her animagus. I do have plans, but to survive and draw out who brings me into this bloody tournament."
"That is all." After answering her, she still stays completely, still contemplating my word. "Um, Harry."
"Yes?" Looking at her, she started to fiddle with her finger. "Um, do you like someone?"
"Me? Nah, I never thought about it. With these tedious tasks and more chaos to follow. Nah, I never thought of anyone yet. Besides, I am now bound. I can not have tryst with women as when I accept my duty as Lord Potter, I will only marry the one who destined to the family Magic."
"Oh, that good." Nodding her head, Hermione decided to see any information on that type of magic. "You say you've been training. Can I join you?"
"Of course. You can." Hearing that, I nod my head. I do need a sparring partner in spell combat. Besides, she is walking books. I need to dismantle that book into ideas and creativity before I depart this world. 'Now that I think it like that, it seems like I am preparing to die?'
Shaking my head, I look at Hermione. "I usually start at 9:45 until 11:45. If you are willing, I will be waiting for you in the common room."
"Yes, that is perfect." Agreeing, she then walks out. Watching her back, I shook my head, not wanting to be distracted with her until my job as the prophesied boy is done.
Walking out, I headed to the deep forest, planning to anger the colony of acromantula.

"I hate this shit!" I exclaim as I spam my magic around sending bombada left and right. When some approached me, I kicked them.
It's been two hours since I found myself in this situation. Thanks to my superhuman stamina and endurance, I can keep on fighting for days.
My spells begin to see some refinements in them, even my magic. While I do enjoy sending spells left and right training my already battle instinct to a more personal level, I am more satisfied with how I began to absorb all the experience in combat from my DNA making them mine fully.
I also started to be comfortable with deploying spells, and my casting speed also increased.
Diffindo!
Sending cutting spells consecutively, I then grab the brach and use it as my makeshift weapon plummeting the others.
We keep on fighting with my form, starting to deploy some weird footwork dancing around the colony and bringing them down.
With my progression on this fight, I decided that the ecosystem is now safe with a lesser acromantula. Blasting a powerful maxima lumos, I rush out running at my full speed which generate a massive explosion shredding nearby spiders and trees alike.
"Well, that is a good exercise." Jumping on my toe in a warm-up state. I nod in appreciation. "Now, I need to head to Nonose cave and fight with his inferi. I could use the spear or the warhammer."
"Nah, as I am in this world, I must use magic. I must also make rules to myself so that I can enjoy my life during my travels. Mm, it decided then."
Dropping to the bathtub, I sleep in it until the sun rises.

"So let me get this straight." Inside the library, Hermione and Harry can be seen discussing their assignments for the month. "This rune here, if you align it with this guy here, it will form a powerful protection against any form of voodoo."
"Why is that?" Asks Hermione. "The book clearly states that using this rune and the other will form a protect for the body voodoo curse."
"Nah, I know that, but we need to think outside the box, and beside it, this can solve the problem of all of voodoo mumbo." Writing down the assignments into his parchment, Harry, then keep it inside his satchel as evidence that he is really catching up when he changes his electiv.
"But, Professor Bagshot tells us to choose one. Why are you doing that?" Shaking her head, she did her own job.
"Well, it my problem then." After doing their assignments, they then left, and Harry leads the way. "Now that we had some free period, let start a small introduction of what I've been doing."
After a lengthy explanation, Hermione asks. "So, basically. You refine all your spells and cast speed, then go over the first year to third year spells and material to help and train you in?"
"Yep." Popping the p, He nods. "Now,I want you to do this in your own time schedule. It is really good to ingrained them in your muscles and brain. It will shorten your contemplation of spells during a fight or duel."
"Okay, I will try it."

For the next week I been grinding doing everything I can to bring out the potential hidden in my DNA. My study on the Runic part seemed pointless, and I started to second thought of waiting.
I also confined Mr. Filius about charms and the variations of the charms. He is a helpful teacher asking some spar with him and also improves my magical combat ability.
Professor McGonagall was also helpful with my transfiguration magic as she started to delve deeper into the transfiguration field when she saw my demonstration.
Overall, everything is good, which is a bit worrying. Hermione also started her training and began to employ her muggle imagination, which is a good thing.
