Chapter 1

Harry suppressed a yawn as he moved deeper into the mine shaft. It was becoming late, almost nighttime, but he had been hoping to find some more gold, or even a diamond before the monsters started really coming out. It was not like he was worried about dying, but it did feel rather weird to be hit by an arrow then to regenerate health a few moments later. And the feeling was something he rather avoid.

"I will kill Ron later for thinking messing with a computer game was a good idea," Harry said, as he spotted some coal and iron.

Pulling out an out his wand Harry smiled down at it. It worked in place of the many tools in the Minecraft World. Shovels, pickaxes, swords, a bow and arrow; it replaced all of them. He just needed to find iron or diamonds to keep up its power level. Without those items his wand acted much like the wood version of the items, good but not great.

Finally he found what he had been hoping to find at some point, but not expecting to see. A dudgeon. Carefully he pulled out a set of torches. With a burst of speed he ran forward and placed the torches around the Mob Spawner, shutting it down. Turning he saw several chests, and proceeded to open them up.

There were several very good items in each one. Two Harry was very happy to see. Watermelon seeds, and several Golden apples. These would be good for later on, providing easy food, as well as needed items to fight the Ender Dragon, if it should come to that to escape this world.

He pulled out the clock as he mined away the chests, it was night time. Time to leave, or hole up for the night. With the amount of Gold and Diamonds, and now rare items Harry had found in this expedition he felt it would be better to race home. So with this in mind, he raced out of the dungeon, and followed the line of torches back to the surface.

He continued on racing through the forest, and crossing some simple wooden bridges. A line of torches showing Harry the way home. He raced onwards, his legs working hard as he began spotting the nightly terrors. Zombies and Skeletons. He spotted a spider not too far off, and as he raced passed a thick clump of woods, a witch.

But as Harry neared his and Hermione's home, a sound reached him that caused him to freeze. He knew he should not have stopped, but as a matter of habit he could not help it. He slowed to a stop and glanced about him. A second later, a second hiss was heard right behind him.

"Oh no," Harry said, as he took off running trying to escape the Creeper.

He did, barely. Its blast sent him flying a few blocks forward to land near the Castle's outer wall. He got up and ran in through the wall. Before finally on the other side he flipped the lever causing the gate to seal shut. He listen for a few moments as he heard the crushing sound of the Creepers and sighed happily, he was safe for the night.

Getting up Harry began walking into a place that had begun to take on the look of Hogwarts. It was still many times smaller than the real thing, but looked like it none the less. Harry passed into the building and went into the Entrance Hall, Harry gave a small jump of joy. Glancing towards the great Hall, Harry did not see Hermione among the massive sorting and storage system. Shrugging Harry continued up the stairs, passing many empty room. Till he finally reached one of the towers. Harry saw Hermione sitting down studying a book.

"Back safe?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Harry said as he dumped the items into a nearby hopper, it would slowly be taken down and sorted in the Great Hall.

"Find anything useful?" Hermione asked.

"Watermelon Seeds and a couple Golden Apples, but no Ender Eyes. Oh and a creeper right outside our front door," Harry said with a groan of annoyance.

"Weird, how is it you always find them, but I never do," Hermione asked tossing Harry a loaf of bread.

"I don't know, I just hope Ron is dealing with worse," Harry said, as he ate the loaf.

Hermione rolled her eyes and gave Harry a small hug, before curling up on the nearby bed. Harry smiled as he ate the load slowly, enjoying it. He could not blame her for not going out to often, she was worried, same as him, and reading a book was her one way to keep calm. Soon though Harry joined her on the bed, pulling her against him providing them with much needed warmth and comfort.

Several miles away however Ron was not nearly as happy as he hid in a hole in the side of a dirt embankment. He had been increasingly regretting using magic on Hermione's computer when it would not work with him to make the game easier. And he always regretted saying that he could easily survive in the world, no matter the difficulty level. NIGHTMARE.

But it did not matter right now, he just needed to make it through that night, and then tomorrow he could try another spell to escape with. He knew it would work, after all, magic fixed everything. If Ron only knew how wrong he was, he might have instead gone to Harry and Hermione for help instead.

Omake

Harry walked along digging with his wand. As he rounded a corner he spotted a chest. Opening it he discovered the extremely rare Notch Apple. But before he could so much as think about how it would help him escape, there was a loud hiss behind him. Understanding of the noise, and a clenching feeling in his stomach told Harry to move. But before he could the Creeper exploded killing Harry.

Moments later Harry awoke in his bed, his heart hammering as he looked around. Hermione was reading a book nearby, and looked over at him in surprise. Harry gave her a weak smile at this before falling back onto his bed.

Harry sighed, "Why do I always find creepers when exploring Hogwarts's Mines?"
