Chapter 1 - The discovery
*Ding*
[You rested in your bed and recovered full HP & MP]
Harry's eyes widened as he looked at the floating emerald green box in front of him. "Ahh! What the hell," our young hero shouted as he pressed himself against the wall. As he was hoping for it to go away, he saw that the cupboard door was opened by his aunt who looked at him as if he dirt on the floor and said in a shrill voice "Boy if you are done shouting, go upstairs and sort yourself out you filthy mongrel. Then I want you to go into the kitchen and look after the bacon that I left in the pan, I don't want it burnt on Dudderkins special day, he'll be down stairs in 15 minutes." She then slammed the door then left.
*Ping*
When Harry looked to see what made this noise, what he saw was another box that read:
A Quest has been Created!
As Harry examined this new box he saw an arrow in the bottom corner, he took a deep breath then taped the arrow on the box. in a small flash of light a new box appeared that had another box right by it with 'Yes' and 'No' on it.

Harry had a slight pause wondering if this was all true and just something like a dream, after a second he then decided to run along with it and selected Yes. With a flash of light the message box disappeared, after the light has vanished harry in the top right hand of his vision he could see a green countdown starting a 15 minutes. This gave Harry the incentive to start moving so after leaving the cupboard he ran up the stairs into the bathroom, in the bathroom he had to wash his hands and face then brushed his teeth, so he grabbed hold of a bar of soap to start. however when he looked into the mirror he was shocked because above his head he could quite clearly see:

Okay this means that the might be already pre-existing skills beforehand' mused harry, 'how do I find out what they are; lets see in most of Dudley's games there is a button that gives you a menu to interact with, but since I don't see any buttons then that must mean it's voice activated.

After all that harry looked at the countdown and saw that it was about 11 minutes, so he dried his hands then went down stairs. When harry got to the kitchen his Uncle spotted him then this face went bright red as he looked at harry and threatened " BOY. I'm only giving you one warning, if you do anything to ruin my Dudder's Birthday. Then I' will make you wish that you died with your freaky parents; is that understood" Harry stood Ramrod straight as he meekly replied "Yes Uncle Vernon". When Vernon's back was turned Harry looked at him and whispered [Observe].

Because of these reasons he hates the Player.
Harry was surprised at the description that his uncled but he decided to think about this later on. As he went into the kitchen he saw that the shove was on with a pan filled with 5 pieces of bacon that he needed to look after inside of it, When Harry was got up to the oven he could see writing hanging above the bacon which read:
[Half Cooked Bacon]
Harry was dejected that it only showed him it's name and nothing else but then he thought about using the new skill he had so he quietly whispered [Observe]
*Ping*
[Half Cooked Bacon] HP: 3/3

And double the trouble then [Cooked Bacon]
Regain 15 HP
40% Chance of (Food Poison)
Time until it turn into [Cooked Bacon]:
85 Seconds
After seeing the timer in the description of the bacon, he then looked at the countdown in the corner of his eye which showed him that he had 3 minutes left before Dudley came downstairs. Seeing that the bacon will be done before his cousin will be down, he decided to get things set up so that the bacon won't burn. So Harry went up to the cupboard that contained all of the plates so that he can place the cooked bacon in. When he opened up the cupboard he took out a chipped plate. and looked around to see if anybody was watching, as he saw none was he then said [Observe]
*Ping*
[Chipped Plate] HP: 6/10
This plate has a major chip in it, this decreases the ability it has in holding items
Because of the chip it has 4 holding slots in stacks of 5.
Slot 1:
Empty
Slot 2:
Empty
Slot 3:
Empty
Slot 4:
Empty
When Harry saw the slots in the item he was interested in seeing what that means but he was taken out of his thoughts by a annoying beeping, as soon as it started he looked around to see what was causing the disturbant as quick as possible so that he won't face the wrath of his uncle. He then noticed that the countdown had changed from a green to a red color, the instant that Harry turned his attention onto the countdown the beeping stopped. Pausing for a couple of moments to see if his uncle was going to enter the kitchen in rage but after those moments and no raging uncle he soon come to the conclusion that only he could hear it. After glancing at the countdown which was down to 1:22 "ah" Harry thoughted "it was an alarm to inform me that the countdown was getting low". He then decided after making this discovery to check on the bacon, he was however slight surprised to see that the name in the pan had changed from [Half Cooked Bacon] to [Fully Cooked Bacon]. He decided to not[observe] it so that he won't burn the bacon.
So with a flick of his wrist he place the [Fully Cooked Bacon] out of the pan and onto the [Chipped Plate]. However as soon as the bacon hit the plate it disappeared in a poof of smoke then a hologram of the bacon appeared on top of the plate. Harry then panicked for he didn't want his uncles rage placed upon him so he looked at the [Chipped Plate] and said loudly [Observe]

When Harry saw that other people like his family would not see anything strange he was relieved. After double checking that he completed the task set for the quest, he turned his attention to the red countdown as it ticks down:
5 seconds
4 seconds
3 seconds
2 seconds
1 seconds.
As soon as the countdown hit 00:00 he could hear stomping as his cousin stomped down the stairs
