(A/N) Welcome back, my faithful readers, for the third Chapter of Harry Potter and the Mysterious Gamer. Gawd, I was floored by the amount of e-mails alerting me of your support and your Favoriting this fic…I really hope I'll be able to keep you all glued to the chair, or something like that…anyway, I thought about briefly answering a couple of reviewers. Now…on to the Chapter!
To Allhailthesith: Maybe in the future, it costs quite a hefty amount after all XD
To ShadyBlazin: I don't know yet if he'll go, though I was already playing with the thought of making him sort of a mentor, yes. But the rest, is for me to know(right now, sort of XD) and for you to find out(sooner or later XD)
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I, like many others before(and after) me, are merely playing with the stories that Joanne Rowling created, and I, like many others, are grateful to her for that."Hi, how are you?" Normal speaking
'I'm fine, thanks' Person thinking
"I'm glad to hear that" Person speaking Parseltongue
Previously, on Harry Potter and the Mysterious Gamer:
Right when it was about to hit the left foot, he shouted "Magic Shield!" and right away, the big Rat bit on his Magic, and then, moving it it in his right foot, he said "Die, you damn overgrown Rat!" and kicked it, making it scream and explode in a golden dust. And right away, he knew no more.
It took quite a while of time for Kazuki to wake up, after what he achieved. After all, no wind to rustle him up, nor monsters, or even less any birds that could do it. Still, at the end he woke up. "Owwww…I almost thought I was done for." said the boy, slowly putting himself on his feet. Just then, his vision was flooded by windows, that popped up again, since the Gamer recovered his consciousness. "WOAH!...I think I'll never get used to this…but I guess I should have expected it, since I fainted. OK, let's see…"
As you killed the Magic Boss Rat, you gained:
80 Exp.
4 S
x3 Rat Tooth
x5 Rat Leather
Rat Tail
"Rat Tail, what is that?" Said Kazuki touching it, dismissing the first window and opening another one.
Rat Tail – Uncommon Accessory
It may seem worthless, but in the past it worked as a lucky charm, or was exchanged for great Rewards.
+5 to LUC
"Not a Weapon…but still an Equip Item, and an Uncommon to boot…Fuck Yeah!" Shouted the boy, opening right away the Inventory, and equipping it. Done that, he closed the two windows. After that, he looked at the next.
For your killing the Boss Magic Rat, you gained a new title:
Apprentice Rat Slayer: +5 to all Stats when fighting any kind of Rats
"Sweet!" After waving it away, he focused on the one which seemed the most important.

"Uhm, More SP, that's good…but still I won't spend them yet, need to rake more of it, a lot…" Mumbled Kazuki. Then, he went to the next.
You created a New Skill!
How do you want to name it?
At that, the boy was perplexed for a few minutes, because he couldn't recollect right away the last thing he did. After some time passed, though, he did, and said "Magic Kick"
Magic Kick(Active Skill)(Lv.1)(Exp. 20/100)
Damage: [(STR/3)+(DEX/3)]*(INT/2)
Cost: 100 MP
"Must this game have so much Math?" Grumbled Kazuki, waving it away.

"Bonus Stats, those are always welcome…" Said the grinning boy. "And now, the last one."
You completed the Natural Dungeon of Diagon Alley! Y/N
Do you wish to get out?
At that, he pressed eagerly Y, to find himself back in the side street he was, before he started it. Noting some more people bustling around, he thought 'Tempus!'
It's 12:40, on the 16th of April, Saturday, in 1977
After waving the Time window, he decided to head back to his room, as he felt quite tired. When he did it, he took off all of his Equipment, and made a shower. Feeling a lot better after that, he went straight to the bed, falling asleep moments later.
It was only after some hours passed, that Kazuki woke up.
You slept in your own bed!
You recovered 100% HP, 100% MP
"Uff…I really needed it". After he waved away the window, he went off the bed to the window, to see that the light of the Sun had an orange hue to it. To confirm it, he said "Tempus"
It's 17:12, on the 16th of April, Saturday, in 1977
"Yup, the Sun is going down…but it's not important, what is, it's the fact that I'll have to train more, a lot more, as I bet the Dungeons will only increase in difficulty, and I must not forget that those monsters are not my only enemies out there…" Said the boy. "Let's see, first of all… Status! "

No, I'll have to do it the old way…running, and something like that…oh man, just thinking about it makes me feel tired…" Muttered Kazuki. Still, he knew he had to do it. Just before he could thinking about taking off his clothes, he saw a window appear.

"Well, It seems I won't lose anything, regardless how I do it, so…I accept!" Shouted the boy, and taking off his clothes right after. Then he began with the squats. After some time passed, completely immersed in his training and panting some, he noted that there were two counters, onme for the time, and the other for the exercises.
30 squats done, 30 crouches done, and 20 push ups done.

"I thought I was doing worse…let's keep going then!" Found again his resolve, he went back to crouching, squatting and pushing up, until he saw the two windows change, and two new ones.

After closing the window, he thought 'Now, what to do, what to do…' While he was thinking hard on what to do, he got distracted by the noise coming from the Ground Floor, and he said "Well, I could go down, see how is it…" Standing up. He opened the door and began going down the he arrived, he looked around, to see some patrons talking quite loudly and the barman serving something to others. Seeing that, he decided to sit at an empty table. Automatically, just a few moments later, the barman came to him, and asked "What would you like to order, young man?".
"Uhm…a Butterbeer, please." "2 Sickles then." After paying him, he went back to the desk, to take one, and gave it to him. When Kazuki received it, as he had a sudden idea, he looked around, and when he noted that no one was looking in his direction, he thought 'Observe'
Butterbeer – Common Magical Item
This drink is called Butterbeer, consumed regularly by young Witches and Wizards
+1 to CHA, +2 to VIT (15 Min.) (Doesn't stack)
'Uh, interesting…it's a pity that it doesn't stack the effect, but after all it would have been too easy.' After that, feeling curious, he tried using Observe on some people.

Info: Tom is the old barman of the Leaky Cauldron, which serves both as an inn and as the entrance to the Magical district of Diagon Alley.
'Good, good…' Thought Kazuki, dismissing the window. 'Now, what to do…oh right!' Just then, since he didn't quite know what to do, he decided to hang in Diagon Alley. When he got there, he began walking, watching the shops, and people milling around. When he arrived to Quality Quidditch Supplies, he took the chance to admire the latest Nimbus 1777. After a few minutes, getting bored, since he technically knew some of the future brooms that would come, he went on, to arrive to the majestic white building that dominated the scene, and there, he thought 'Observe!'
London Branch of Gringott's Bank
Info: This building is the London Branch of Gringott's Bank. Run by the Goblins, it's considered the safest place, except maybe Hogwarts.
'All known stuff, but it's always good to revise, they say' After that his eyes moved to the entrance of Knockturn Alley, and he even wondered about sneaking a peek, but then he thought 'Uhm, better not, both because this period makes it even less safe, and because I don't think I'd last long.' After walking back to safer places, he thought 'Oh right, better to check the time, Tempus, and my Status too…'

'Wow, I guess even in other Universes it's true, that time flies when one enjoys himself…' After some more time than usual passed, since with Darkness he found it quite harder to find the way back, he entered back. For a moment, he thought on what do eat for dinner, but then he saw that the Ground Floor, and that he probably didn't even need food. Having decided on what to do, he began climbing the stairs, only to find himself in a curious issue. 'Oh no, now where was my room again?!' Getting desperate, he tried opening all the doors he saw. The first was closed, as the second and the third, but when the next opened, he saw a sleeping man on the bed. Getting curious, he thought 'Observe!'

Info: Max Rivers is a Pureblood Wizard and a criminal. He aims to be part of Voldemort's ranks, and to achieve his goal he plans to wreak havoc on Diagon Alley the next day.
"Oh fuck me. Running. Sideways…" Said Kazuki dismissing the window. Unfortunately, his careless speaking aloud woke up the man, who seeing him shouted, while taking out his wand. "Get out right now kid, or I'll kill you!" Kazuki, getting panicked seeing the man closing on him, and his Gamer's Mind being shut off, aimed with his hands in front of him with the eyes closed, and shouted the first thing he got in mind "MAGIC SHOTGUN!". Right after that, as Kazuki sill had his eyes closed and his arms put out, he heard only a shout, a strange noise, and then absolute silence. After a while, he risked opening his eyes, only to become very green. What he saw, was what was once a face, pelted with countless little holes, and the rest of the body splattered with blood. The boy could only think 'By the Goddess, I killed a man…' before Gamer's Mind slammed back in, and he had the very good idea to run out of the room, to find again almost easily his room. After closing and locking the door, he sprinted to the bathroom, only to heave his inexistent dinner. After it was completed, he mechanically cleaned his teeth, took off his clothes and fell asleep instantly. It was only after many hours that he woke up, still groggy, and not quite there yet, since the happenings of the previous night came back to him right away, as he could feel inside himself the war waged by his emotional side, against the cool reasoning of Gamer's Mind.
'You shouldn't have done anything, except going out the door the moment you saw someone inside!' Said the first.
'I agree, but he did good, considering one can't undo what he did.' Replied the latter.
'How can you say that he did good?! He killed a man, by the Goddess! Didn't you see it?!
'Yes, of course I saw it, I was there with you after all! What I meant, is that he stopped a criminal before he could do something terrible. Or would have you preferred the contrary?'
'Of course not! But he could have alerted the DMLE, or something like that!'
'Oh? And how would have you done it, hm? And let's not comment about the fact that no one, and I mean no one would have believed a seven-year-old kid, or explain on how we came on that information. No, you did good, as less Death Eaters, both actual and future ones, it's always a good thing, even if your method was less than ideal.'
'Less than ideal indeed!' But after that, they quieted down. After that, Kazuki, having calmed down, and noted some new windows, probably since the last night he thought, only to get back to being a little tense, when he read some of them.

Info: A 13", Maple and Dragon-Heart String Wand, it was Max Rivers Wand, before he got killed by Kazuki Ederelli. As such, now it answers only to him at the moment.
'Uh…I guess even killing your enemy is a way to gain a wand's loyalty too…in the Game at least…anyway, that decreased MP cost is incredible, I guess that's why using wands is so much easier, and adding to that the second Bonus…however, it stunts the grinding of Skills, and that's a bummer…but after all, it would have been too easy, right?' Thought Kazuki. 'Still, I gotta least to try it…see the difference'. Right on it, he thought 'ID Create!' After being sure that he was safe, he took the wand in his right hand. Then, with his left hand created a Magic Bolt, and he concentrated to block it there, making it wobble slightly. At the same moment, he tried to do the same on the tip of the wand, and right away, a bright ball of Magic appeared, almost two times bigger than the other one.
"WOW!" Shouted Kazuki. "Seeing that things are like this, I think I'll use it too, it would be invaluable this Power, not to say the versatility that comes with the possibility of using two Skills together…however, I should put extra care not to be seen using that, ever, as it would be attract a lot of undesired attention, since I am 'technically' a seven-year-old kid." Just when he finished speaking aloud, and willed back inside his Magic, he noticed a new window.
For your careful planning, you get:
+1 to INT, +1 to WIS
"Nice!" After he closed that one too, he exited from the ID. A few moments after that, while he was thinking on what to do, he heard someone in the hallway. Getting concerned, he tried hearing through the door, but almost nothing could be discerned. Having a stroke of genius, he tried to will some of his Magic to his right ear, and right away, he could hear perfectly, although he didn't know who was speaking.
"I am Master Auror Moody, where is the body?" Growled a voice. 'Oh shit, I just had to have the worst luck in getting the attention of Moody…' Thought the boy, before going back to listen, this time to a bawling voice. "Here…I-I found it because I had to c-clean the room…"
"Don't worry Miss, we are here now." Said a calm, unknown voice. "Now, let's see this co-WOAH! What the hell is this?!" Shouted the second voice.
"I don't know…but whoever is the responsible, did a damn fine job to shut his mouth forever" Said Moody. "Not to say the terrible amount of paperwork that we'll have to do because of this…in all my years, I've never seen an aftereffect of a Spell like this one…what do you think should be the first move, Auror Johnson?"
"Well…first thing, I'd say secure the Leaky Cauldron, then get the help of the Goblins to recognize this man…and then, I don't quite know, as I can't even begin to recognize a Spell that could have this particular effect…" mumbled the Auror.
"Good answers Johnson." Said Moody. "Luckily, I already asked in advance for the help of a Goblin…Bloodytear, if you could, please?" After that, silence followed, and Kazuki thought the Goblin was acting silently. After a minute, he heard again the growling voice of Moody. "Max Rivers, eh? I remember the guy, some shady dealings here and there, but not a Death Eater…not yet at least. Still, a rotten apple no more out there is always a good thing in my book. About the other thing, I think I'll have to give a call to an old friend of mine. After that, nothing could be heard, and just when he was about to give up, he heard a flaming noise, and then a voice. "Ah, Alastor, good morning to you. What is the reason you called me on this fine day?".
"It's not really a good day when you'll see it, Albus, look at that." Growled Moody. "…Well, knock me over with a feather…do you already have a suspect?". "No, we just found him, and his face quite literally worked up…speaking of that, can you tell us something about the way it could have possibly made it like this?" "Uhm…" Again, for some minutes nothing could be heard by Kazuki, except some mumbling, added with a cryptic "Another life lost to this war…" and more mumbling, to end with the same voice saying "Well, nothing of specific unfortunately, the only thing I could discern is that this act, is the result of manipulation of pure Magic, but how was it achieved, I could not say…". And for the third time, no one spoke, until the moment Kazuki heard steps getting close to the door. Schooling down his features, he willed back the Magic from his ear, and ignored the windows that appeared in the meantime. Right after that, he heard someone knocking on his door. Slowly, he went to it, and when he opened it, he saw the three unexpected visitors.
Richard Johnson Alastor Moody Albus Dumbledore
Lv. 49
Lv ?
Lv. ?
Putting his best act on, he said "Good morning Sirs, can I help you?" Dumbledore, fearing that Moody could start on ranting and cater him to a cell for interrogation, cut him off and said "Ah, good morning young boy. First of all, may we know your name?" Thinking of a good answer for a few seconds, he then said "Long ago, my parents cautioned me to not trust unknown people…and after all, there is Power in a Name…on the other hand, you three seem worthy of trust, so…I'm Kazuki Ederelli…and you are?" When he finished, he noted that the three men looked at him strangely, until Dumbledore said "Well, can't say I expected such a particular answer, not to say that is incorrect, after all…and your parents are very wise to say that, may we know them?" "Yep they were, but unfortunately I can't do that, as they are not on this world, I'm afraid…and you still didn't answer my question" After that, the ancient man bowed his head a little, and then he went back to saying "I'm sorry to hear that…and you're right, I'm Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, and my friends are…" After receiving two nods, he continued "Richard Johnson, an Auror, and Alastor Moody, Master Auror." When he heard that out, he nodded to the other two men, and answered "No need to worry Mr. Dumbledore, both for the fact that you couldn't know…and because I am quite sure you are not to blame for this." "I surely don't think so, but, just to know, could you tell me their names?" When he heard that, Kazuki prepared the names he cooked up in his mind for when that question would be aimed to him, and said "Kazuma and Kyoko Ederelli, Mr. Dumbledore." At that, he frowned a little, and then said "I'm sorry, I don't think I have ever known them." "I expected that, after all, we came in Britain just some time ago, you see. Me and my family travelled a lot, from Japan, homeland of my parents, to Italy, the one where my paternal grandparents hailed from, to Britain…and here I am…" When Kazuki finished, Dumbledore, with his eyes almost glazed, he looked out of the window and said "Aaah, the Far East…" For almost a minute, no one said anything, until Moody coughed and said "Albus, maybe we should tell him the main reason as to our visit…" Dumbledore, shook out of his reverie, said "Right, right, forgive an old man for his antics…anyway, what was it…oh right. Mr Ederelli, this morning, my friend, here, called me to tell that he found a dead man in a room close to this one…the time of death is probably late in the past night, did you hear something?" "I can't say I have, Mr. Dumbledore, I slept like a rock all the night." Just after he said that, for a moment he watched him in the eyes, and a window appeared.
Gamer's Mind has averted:
Mind Probe
Sender – Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
When he saw that, he was able to show no emotion to them, although inside of his mind he thought 'I quite hoped you didn't try that, Dumbledore…always for the Greater Good, right?' When he couldn't get anything, Dumbledore said, standing up "Well, thanks for answering me Mr. Ederelli…good day, and I hope we'll meet in Hogwarts in future." When he said that, the boy said "Good day to you too, Mr. Dumbledore, Mr Moody and Mr. Johnson." After he saw them getting out of the door, wanting to get some sweet revenge on the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he said. "Ah, one last thing Mr. Dumbledore. I know I am a Wizard, but do you know which ability I wouldn't ever want if I was a normal human being?" When Dumbledore, curious, shook his head, he continued "Mind reading Mr. Dumbledore, after all, one's thoughts are the most private thing there is, isn't it?" At that, Dumbledore got startled, while the other two watched the old man, suspiciously. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, he said "…You are right, Mr. Ederelli. Good day again." And after that, the boy closed and locked the door, and right away, put to good use his new found ability of eavesdropping. After a few moments though, he heard nothing, and he guessed that they were at least on the Ground floor by now. He was wrong, as they were still there, but Moody had the good idea of erecting a privacy ward, before rounding on Dumbledore, scowling at him and saying "What did you think Albus, at the beginning talking about pleasantries and getting cozy with him, and then using Legilimency on a kid?! I agree that I might rush a little in this kind of situations, but you are even worse, if this will happen more." During the tirade of his higher-up, Johnson was silent, although he too was a little angry at his former Headmaster. After Moody told his piece, Dumbledore lowered his head, shamed both for getting caught red-handed, and for the chiding of his dear friend, and then said "I know Alastor, and I'm sorry you both had to see that…it's just, that it's really unusual to see such maturity in a kid, so…I felt I just had to check." "Oh, he had a remarkable maturity alright, and a poker face I've never seen before too, I'll give it to you, and I'd bet another piece of my nose that he knows more than he lets on, but your attitude surely didn't do us any favors…and won't do in the future I fear; oh well, no use to cry over the spilt potion, they say. Now, time to go, people to interrogate, places to patrol, paperwork to do, what to do, what to do…" And said that, the three went towards the ground floor. After a few minutes more passed, and Kazuki was sure he was in the clear, he went back to the bed and sprawled on it, thinking 'Whew, that went well enough, I suppose…I'll just have to be more careful I guess…oh right, the windows I ignored, let's see…'

Due to getting increased/decreased REP, you unlocked two new pages of the Guide:
Relationship
Fame
When he saw the last window, while waving the previous ones, he thought 'Well, let's see them then, Relationship and Fame'
Relationships:
As you can guess, this is the window that explains the Relationships System in the Game. Very similar to the Reputation one, but this is more specific, as it regards the Relationship you have with each person. Since the Bonus/Malus levels are the same, only a brief description will appear.
NOTE: from now on, your current Level of Relationship will appear in the Observe windows.Enemy(-5000): You are seen as a mortal enemy by this person, you and those close to you will have a high chance of being attacked without mercy by anyone with this reputation.
Hostile(-4999/-1000): You are an enemy to this person, and will be attacked if given the chance.
Disliked(-999/-250): This person doesn't like you. Your chances of being attacked are low, but still a possibility depending on what you do.
Neutral(-249/+249): This person doesn't know you, or couldn't care less about you.
Friendly(+249/+999): You're on good terms with him/her.
Honored(+1000/+4999): You're on very good terms with this human being.
Love(+5000): This person loves you unconditionally. I am sure you know that there are many kinds of Love out there.
Fame:
This Stat, as the title says, is your Fame in the world, meaning how much you are known. NOTE: It has no good nor bad underlining.
Unknown(0/249): No one knows you, simple, like breathing. Normal(250/999): A normal person, someone knows you, but nothing special. Popular(1000/2499): You are now popular, many people will recognize you and call out your name. Renowned(2500/4999): With this Fame, your name carries a lot of weight in the Society, both in good luck and in bad one. Famous(5000/14999): You did something extraordinary(or terrible) to be worthy of this Level, almost everyone in the world heard your name at least once, and knows what you did. Legend(15000+): You are a legendary person, your actions will be known by everyone for centuries to come, and many generations will come to sing your lauds(or whisper your misdeeds)
NOTE:
You uncovered two people which you had an increased/decreased Relationship(even if they don't know you were the one who did it, the Game always knows)
'Good good…I'm an idiot! I just forgot to Observe them!...Damn it all…now, what to do…oh right, let's see this change in Relationship!'
Reputation of Kazuki Ederelli

Uhm…a lot of stuff, I'd say…now, let's check again, better to do it more often…Status!'

'Uhm, that's good, still…I want to save up a lot more SP, better safe than sorry' Thought that, and dismissing all the windows, he decided to get some shut-eye, as he suddenly felt quite tired.
It was quite some hours later that Kazuki woke up, feeling quite refreshed however. 'I must have really needed this nap…let's see…Tempus!'
It's 12:29 on the 17th of April, Sunday, in 1977
"Uh…it must have been early in the morning the impromptu meeting with Dumbledore and the others…" said aloud the young boy. "Now, though, what to do… I wonder if I can do again the Rat's Natural Dungeon, but I don't think so…I could explore the world outside, but that's risky, I guess…"After mulling around with his thoughts for a while, he thought 'Oh well, I'll just wing it, as they say' Finally decided, he went out of the room, locked the door and went to the ground floor. Looking just for a moment at the door that led to Diagon Alley, he then went to the other direction, and exited on the side that gave to the mundane world. After he closed again the door, though, he never expected to be still in awe. 'Wow…look how many people…and the clothes, and the buildings…and the cars…so…OLD!...though I know I shouldn't be surprised, since I am in 1977. Oh well, let's do some good ol' sightseeing.' After that, he began exploring the roads of London, and thanks to the road signs, he was easily able to watch some of the most famous landmarks, like the London Tower, Buckingam Palace and the Tower Bridge. Luckily, he remembered to Observing once in a while, as he suddenly got a welcome surprise.
Your Skill "Observe" levelled up!
Observe(Active Skill)(Lv.3)(Exp. 0/300)
This Skill lets you know information about the target.
At Level 1 of the Skill, Name, Title, Level of the target and Stats.
At Level 2 of the Skill, brief description of the target.
'Good, good' Thought Kazuki. When he arrived to Trafalgar Square, it just by chance that, when he stopped to lean his arm on a wall, that two new windows appeared.
Congratulations, you found a Hidden Landmark!
Trafalgar Square - London
Due to sheer chance, you found a hidden System in the Game:
the Fast Movement!
This function allows you to move from a Place to another in a blink of an eye!
NOTE: To use this System, you have to uncover at least two such Places!
NOTE: To use this System, you need at least a Honored Reputation with the people of both the two Places where the starting point and the arriving one are.
While he dismissed away the new window, Kazuki didn't know how to feel, if happy or bummed out. At the end, he decided on a mix of both, as he thought 'Well, that's peachy, as it is incredibly useful…but it's useless right now, and in the foreseeable future, as I have absolutely no idea on how to gain Reputation with the citizens of Normal London…now, let's see how much time passed, Tempus!'
It's 18:02 on the 17th of April, Sunday, in 1977
Woah, that's late! No wonder that I felt tired back then…I guess it's time to head back to the Leaky Cauldron' He had just ended the line of thoughts, when a new window appeared.
Warning!
Two people have been following and watching you!
Actual distance: 30 m.
(A/N): And the third chapter is finished! I'm sorry if you had to wait more than you expected, but the currents of Life brought me on places where Her Holiness The Connection was almost inexistent in the place where I found myself at the moment. Add to that the fact that I revised the System regarding the Bonus to Stats, meaning, more work for me, but easier for you to read. And the new functions that I added. But that is only for making the Game more enjoyable for our protagonist. Still, I hope you liked this chapter too. To the next chapter, my faithful readers!
