Chapter 16 - Chapter 3: I'm a What?

Harry was stunned. Never had he even heard of that much money, never mind owned it. Plus all of those castles and manors and businesses as well. It was mind blowing. The quill wasn't finished though. It was now writing other facts like his Merlin Scale rating, any innate abilities he had, and general health.

Morgan had earlier explained the Merlin Scale. It was one to one thousand. Zero to twenty was muggle/squib level. Twenty-one to fifty was the norm for a wizard or witch from birth to age ten to twelve, which was when training at school began. They needed at least a forty to be able to control their magic. A student from first to seventh year tended to have a magical range of fifty up to close around two hundred by seventh year. Magical maturity occurred between seventeen and twenty. Most witches and wizards would jump up between two hundred and four hundred at this time. Some, like Dumbledore, Voldemort, Morgan, and Merlin would go even higher. Merlin was one thousand. He set the top bar to date for magical ability. Morgan was 875. Voldemort reached 650 at the peak of his existence. Dumbledore was at 670 when he defeated Grindenwald and 655 by the time Voldemort came to power. By now, he was probably closer to 640. Harry's dad had been a 535, powerful in his own right, while Harry's mom had been even more powerful at 575.

It was no wonder that Harry fainted when he saw his reading. Sitting on the piece of paper next to Merlin Scale Rating was a 273. Merlin, Morgan, and Ragnok were also surprised. At most they expected a fifty, not anything that large for someone his age.

'He shall be a truly powerful ruler one day,' thought Ragnok. Merlin and Morgan's thoughts were along the same line.

"What of his health, Ragnok? And does he have any innate abilities?" asked Morgan. Ragnok turned the parchment towards her. His health overall actually seemed fine. He was a little on the small side and a little underfed, but the magical blast somehow fixed any broken bones or bodily damage ever inflicted on him. She was a little surprised to see under innate abilities phantasma, beast king (specialty snakes and other reptiles), polyanimagus, speed-read, hyperlangual, and mage-sight. She was a phantasma, so she knew how to train him for that. Being able to bend the shadows and shadow walk were just a couple of the highly useful abilities of this magic. The beast king bit he probably got from Godric since he was able to speak with animals as well. The specialty with snakes confused her because Godric's specialty was mammals, but she wasn't too concerned. Godric learned to speak with all animals eventually. Being a polyani as she called it would be extremely useful. He could register his main animagus or animal form and hide the other ones, though she wouldn't start teaching that till his forth or fifth year depending on his transfiguration abilities. Speed-read she also had. It enabled her to read books in a matter of seconds and completely remember and understand every bit of it. Hyperlangual was actually just the ability to learn multiple languages easily and rather quickly. The read-speed would also help with this. The mage-site was another thing she was familiar with. The ability to 'see' magic. Magic leaves traces wherever it was present, but only few can actually see it. Merlin, Morgan, Rowena, Lily, and now Harry all had the ability. She believed Dumbles and Voldy had it as well, but wasn't sure.

With this is mind, Morgan began planning a training schedule for young Harry. He could not learn any actual magic at this age, but some things like clearing and organizing his mind for occlumency, speed-reading, and hyperlanguality could be taught to anyone willing enough to learn. The ability to talk to animals was another trainable aspect. Wizarding history and potions were two other easy subjects to teach at any age, within reason. Politics could not be started yet, but the mannerisms of a Magical Royal normally began at a young age, so Merlin could easily help Harry just as he helped Arthur all those years ago. Maybe even start him up on self-defense and in a few years pick up sword fighting, a very noble art that he would need as King. Then maybe add simple things like money management and wise spending. Harry was set for life and then some, but she didn't want him to become wasteful with his money. It would be a good idea to get him used to that at an early age along with doing his share of the work rather than sitting back and letting servants do everything. The best rulers were willing to 'get their hands dirty' and the citizens tended to like these types of rulers more than not. She would also teach to him all about equality for all races, centaur, goblin, elf, wizard, and witch.

When Harry finally woke up, he felt a soft, smooth hand gently rubbing his hair in very comforting motions making him feel more at peace than ever before.

"Good morning Harry or should I say good afternoon," Morgan said with a smile. With a sigh of happiness, Harry turned towards her and smiled.

"Am I really that rich and own that much stuff?" he asked still amazed.

"You are and you do. You are also healthy besides the obvious malnutrition, which we can fix easily with a potion regime and good food. Its time to head to your home where everything will be explained to you and the Dursley's," she said.

Harry just nodded and got out of the bed he had been laying in. Morgan held out her hand, which he took and then they were gone.
