Not much changed in Harry's seventh year of life. Harry spent most of his time learn more and more about what was possible with magic. It seemed almost limitless, what magic could do. As long as he could imagine a possibility it seemed magic could accomplish the feat. That's not to say it was easy. The truth was that it was exhausting work, and also very time consuming to master these skills.

By the time Harry was seven, he could lift and control the movements of objects however he say fit. Right now Harry could lift the couch and several marbles at the same time. He could heal himself, and he could control the length of his hair. He could even change hair colors. Personally Harry thought that he looked silly with pink hair. He could repair broken items, and from that skill harry learned to change their shapes as well. He had turned his marble collection into a number of interesting forms and colors. He was even learning how to change the glass into other materials as well. So far he had turned a marble into a glass airplane, and from there into a wooden one and even a metal plane. Harry also practiced hovering and moving as much as he could in his cupboard. After a year of practice Harry could hover for almost two hours now. Harry could have probably lasted longer, but to a seven year old two hours is a long time to stay still no matter what they are doing, even if it practicing flying.

Harry spent time trying to think up new powers as well. Thankfully no one questions a school kid reading fairytales and fantasy all the time. A break through idea into a new trick to learn was when the library brought in some new books. These happened to be Star Wars books. And Harry became fascinated with the idea of the Jedi Mind trick. "If I could learn that," Harry thought to himself, life would be some much easier. It took some time, but Harry learned that if he flowed his magic into his voice as he spoke, while at the same time focusing very intently on getting the other person to do what he wanted, he could pull it off. At first it was hard, and people barely reacted. However over the months Harry refined this ability to get people to perform tasks even contrary to their nature. A trick Harry found was to phrase commands in a way that people didn't oppose to. If he worked with their nature, the person enforced the command themselves and it became more long term. The best trick Harry found though was to compel someone in his or her sleep. He discovered it one day when Vernon fell asleep in his chair watching Television. If he compelled someone to do something in their sleep, they went about doing what they were told without a moment's reservation.

This Harry decided was how he was going to get a Christmas present. Every night for a week leading up towards Christmas, Harry would sneak up to his Aunt and Uncles room and plant a suggestion. Some would be as simple as, "Harry is getting to big for that cupboard", and another was, "What if someone found out the boy sleep in that cupboard, what would the neighbors think." By the time Christmas came, Harry was forced into Dudley's second bedroom, as though he had done something wrong living in the cupboard in the first place. For the first time that he could remember Harry slept in a regular room that night. He realized once again that he could positively change his life.

After the Christmas holidays, Harry noticed that his eyesight wasn't as good as it used to be, and that he had to squint a lot more than usual. So what was a boy with magic power to do, but try to magic better vision. He decided to focus magic into his eyes, and imagine them healing. That didn't really do anything though. However Harry wasn't a quitter, so every night before he went to bed, he tried this. After a month, amazingly, Harry could see better. Though some things still seemed blurry in the distance. After another two months of focusing healing magic to his eye, Harry could see like a hawk. He noticed a sharpness to the world he had never seen before.

One of the coolest tricks Harry learned was how to make something vanish, only to be recalled later. It was merely by happenstance that he discovered it. At the store, Harry was once again stocking up on food, when an employee noticed and went to confront Harry. Harry panicked and in a moment of sheer luck folded the magic of his expanded space over itself, and everything in his pocket promptly vanished. When the employee searched Harry, she couldn't find any ill-gotten goods, and apologized to Harry. Later that night Harry tried to figure out what he did. Eventually he imagined a hole opening and his food tumbling out, which it did, to Harry's surprise. The greatest thing about this new ability was that once vanished away, it didn't take any magic or concentration to hold items. Harry decided to carry most of his books and food in what he termed "magic space".

This was how Harry spent most of his seventh year, advancing his magic. By the time his eighth birthday was approaching, Harry had become quite proficient in his powers. Though while he was developing better control everyday, he was still missing out in life. The truth was that Harry was lonely, and was actually looking forward to school next year because then they could join sports teams

Harry decided his goal for the summer was to have the Aunt and Uncle allow him to join a sports team, and also to make Dudley nicer, so as not to scare off any potential friends that could be out there.
