Harry Potter and the Game of Life
Chapter 1: A game over, and a new game
A/N: Stealing bits of a few HP is a vidya gayme fanfics I've seen floating around but can never find again. (whoever can send me a link to one gets a cookie and an interwebz)
I know coming up with an original idea is basically impossible so I won't :P I'll just do a mash-up to make hopefully a mildly-unique story
H/Hr pairing, Weasel (main 3, Gin, Ron, Molly) & Dumbles bashing, 3rd wall-breaking (Harry and the Party are aware they are in video-game mechanics but not that this is a fanfic)
The POV is 1st person Harry's POV
Disclaimer: Wrong gender, wrong age, wrong country. Nope, not JK so I don't own this. Purely for funsies (and practice)
NOTE: This is the 1st fanfic in the New-Game Multiverse. I may or may not do other fanfictions where Harry does different things. If anyone wants to jump in and use it (maybe making a Dark-harry or a Non-Canon other Pairing (not H/G or R/Hr)) then please email me at lordchaos99 gmail for permission (and so I can read it :D)
:Spells:
"Talking"
Narration/Gamestuff
$Parseltongue$
'thinking'
:Avada Kedavra:
That was the last sound Harry ever heard before his body crumpled to the ground in the forest. his last thought being 'I hope Hermione and Ginny forgive me for this'
The Elder Wand in He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's hand flaring with magical power as he died. Not a mark on the young body but his very soul torn from it and cast into the afterlife
A feeling of dizziness, the sight of endless darkness.
"Am I dead? I must be I didn..."
Game Over
"What?" Looking at the AK-green letters floating in midair in front of him

"Wait what that about potions?" Trying to get a second look but the block letters vanish

The green letters vanishing as soon as Harry had done reading them
Harry Potter and the Legacy of Magic
Beta 1.43
The title, this time not green, an actual logo similar to what Harry had seen on one of Dudley's computer games the times he'd snuck onto the machine
New Game
Load Game
"Oh great. My whole bloody life is a computer game." Harry's head buries itself in his hands "Why can't fate just leave me alone, let me live a normal bloody life in bloody peace."
"I suppose I can't just sit here forever. Load Game."
His voice activating something, 6 different green squares forming in front of him, every one blank
"Huh, i guess I hadnt saved...Makes sense as I hadnt even heard of this thing before as being real. Exit"
Returning to the title screen, starting up a New Game
Suddenly the blackness evaporated. A large hallway appearing, though a half dozen meters away the lights went out obscuring the contents
Turning behind him he sees a small green-outlined box with Exit on it. The walls a pale cream, inlaid with glowing green script Harry had never seen before, a language he had never laid eyes on.
Further ahead on either side of the walkway lie alcoves, each with a mannequine
Walking forward Harry gasped, it was him. Exactly him, every feature the same. Looking behind at the other side, the other alcove. A rather 'pretty' version of him with thick grey chains wrapped around him
Above the mannequin the engraved title Veela Harry. The original him with the title of Standard Harry
Moving down the hall he sees different versions of himself from Dragonborn Harry covered in faint scales to Harry Lockheart with a strange twinkle in his eye and a cocky smirk
Every single one, bar a rather odd one with fake red hair (the black roots were showing) called Harry Weasley, had the same identical grey chains
And at the very end on a pedestal Combo-background. What looked like a scaly muscled...no now it was a veela wearing a crown...no its a...Confused Harry reaches out touching the ever-changing Mannequin

Whoever wants to be Just Harry?
"I do you prat." Harry growls, hitting the appearing Yes button
The darkness descending but only for a second and Harry finds himself in a round room, a dozen thick lightning bolt statues made of marble on plinths
All but 2 surrounded in a vibrant purple aura
Moving to one of the two seeing it has a weird crack, running through the middle all the way down, following the changing of the direction too, even moving sideways

"That manipulative old goat! This was what I had last time and I dont have a horcrux. He lied to me." Raging a little, barely noticing the scene begin to change
A/N: Suggestions, Flames, Constructive Criticism is all welcome. Though flames will be used to warm my house and not paid much attention too.
