HP: The Crazy One

The car ride home was silent, aside from the engine. But you shouldn't count that. I'm still so annoyed at having to deal with people my age that I just wanna go to bed for the day, but I must persist. I will extort my dad for all of his goddamn books and more, mark my words.

It was a silent, yet vengeful ride home.

[Arrived at House]

Come to think of it, I still don't know my own house address, it's just been something that has always escaped my mind.

"Hey mum, what's our house address, I seem to keep forgetting it."

"Oh, OH, Oh right, our house address is 1 Charlotmine Way."

Huh. That isn't too hard to remember, I wonder why I kept forgetting about it?

She sounded like she forgot something in the first half, maybe she forgot the address too? I guess I'll look into it later, for now, I have to think about what kind of books I want. It's easy to say 'I want the most advanced books you can afford!' but I need to be more targeted. In my past life, I mostly learnt about computer systems and IT, which reminds me that the internet was just conceptualized by a few universities 3-4 years ago now. (A/N: The internet was 'Founded' in like 1983 between a few universities as a research project. The internet has truly only been around for about 39 years now.) Anything I know from the future is basically moot because the technologies that I'm familiar with haven't even been conceptualized yet. (A/N: I'm not counting basic protocols like TCP/IP and so on, I don't want the MC to become the Tony Stark of HP)

And while I could theoretically re-invent the wheel and essentially develop the internet faster since I know what the end goal looks like, why would I re-invent the wheel? The people who actually developed the systems are all alive as far as I'm aware and right now I'm just a 6-year-old, no one will take me seriously even if I try to 'revolutionize' the internet.

After seriously deliberating what type of books I wanted to ask for, I drew a blank. I seriously don't know what type of books to ask for, as long as they are books. Thinking about it, my end goal last night wasn't even that well thought out since I didn't have an end goal with the books or the study to begin with.

Sure, let's say I got in and managed to read a few books, then what? Keep sneaking in every night to read some more and more books? That's just an unsustainable method of reading and id wager id have more luck getting the librarian lady to order the books I want. Oh... that's an idea.

What I've been asking the librarian for is a mixture of fantasy novels and physics novels and its just occurred to me that I can ask my father to get as many as he can of each science and whatever fantasy novels he has read. I trust that he would have the same taste in fantasy novels as I would.

[That night]

"So, have you thought about what books you want to ask me for?" My Father started.

To be honest im still nervous, maybe my request is too much? I've decided to also ask for a place to read and store the books since my room won't fit all the books I want in it.

"Yes... I want as many books about different types of science as you can get, as well as any good fantasy novels you've read. Also, a place to read them." I stared into his eyes.

Maybe my request is a bit too much. My house is a 3 bedroom, one story house with a study included at the front. They are using the spare room as a storage room and I sometimes go in there to read or zone out. It's also the reason why I asked for a place to read my books, im sure they would catch my meaning that I want to use that room for my own study.

After seeing his face twitch I know I might have asked for too much, and at this point, im prepared to be told no. It's like that old saying, give a man an inch and he will take a mile.

"Ok, but remember to never even try to get into the study. If you agree to that, then the spare room will be yours to read in and decorate as you see fit." He looked at me with his beady eyes.

Wait, wait, what? Did he just agree?

"Ok, but I want to be able to add more books when I read all my current ones," I said, truly taking a mile.

He glares at me and leaves, however, I didn't hear no. A wide smile followed my face for the rest of the night as I thought about my own little room to decorate as I see fit.

A/N:

Me again, though I don't know who you are because you aren't commenting. Webnovel has sent me the daily statistics thing and i gotta say. Damn. 10k views before I even finished writing this chapter. I feel like a monkey smiling while watching that number climb, however, I'm not getting much interaction. There are some things in this novel im unsure about and would like reader input but... I seem to have no reception.
