Harry Potter was fresh from his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and once again living in the Muggle world with his aunt, uncle and cousin. Three people who couldn't hate him more. Once they'd gotten home Harry's uncle Vernon had taken Harry to his room and had proceeded to give him a 'welcome home beating'. This was nothing out of the ordinary this happened every time Harry came home from his ten month stay at boarding school.

When the beating was over and Harry was sure everyone was asleep he took his trunk and went over the back garden wall. Two days ago he'd discovered a weird ability that had turned his life into a game. Now he got skills and levels and everything. He got on to the subway and was shocked to find he was alone in the car.

""Display screens in order." Harry rasped he hadn't spoken since the third task. Blue screens shot up in front of him. "A new skill? Physical Endurance. Okay what's this do? This is your ability to take pain and block it out. " that sounded like an amazing ability to him.

He read all the screen through and found out that he'd gotten

Physical Endurance-10

You can endure 10% of the pain and damage.

"This will totally come in handy." Harry sighed. " Yeah really good." he was getting light headed. "But what else can I do with this power of mine?" he was beyond curious because he'd never heard of anything like this before. Or had he? His mind flashed back to a few summers ago Dudley and his gang had spent hours reading a webtoon about a boy whose life had become a game it had literally been entitled The Gamer. "Okay once I get settled at the Leaky Cauldron and get some sleep I'll head over to Public Library and check it out."

It sounded like a good plan to him but since when did any of his great plans ever work out? He'd gotten to Charring Cross road easily enough but just as he was about to go into the Leakey Cauldron he ran into the last person in the world that he wanted to see. Severus Snape. More like he fell into him.

"Potter!" Snape snapped catching the boy. "What are you doing here? Speak!"

Harry pushed away from Snape and stumbled falling against the wall. His leg was most likely broken again and here he was abusing it. He was so tired and so light headed he needed to get some sleep.

"Potter!"

Snape's eyes flashed why was the boy ignoring him? Then the boy stumbled into the light coming from a street light and Severus could see the bruises and blood. He took a calming breath and spoke as calmly as he could.

"Potter, what happened?"

"Don't make me go back." Harry wheezed, actually looking at his professor. "Please, he'll kill me before Voldemort gets a chance. Please, Snape."

When Harry woke he was laying on a lumpy couch and could hear people talking around him.

"Enough!" A voice said, suddenly. He knew that voice it was Remus Lupin. Said man came into view. "Good morning, Harry. Don't worry you're safe here."

"Am I?" Harry rasped.

"Hey, kiddo!" Sirius Black came into view a big grin on his face. "Everything will be alright."

"I doubt it." Harry replied. "Where am I?"

"It doesn't matter, Potter, you wont be here long." Snape's voice said. "I told you two to deal with the others not wake him."

"We were worried, Severus." Remus sighed. "we just wanted to make sure he was alright."

"He's not." Severus assured the two of them. "I've done my report to Dumbledore now I'm taking Potter to Hogwarts. He'll be safe there."

"We agree." Remus sighed. "We just wanted some more time with him."

Harry drifted off again. When he woke he literally moaned. His head hurt so bad. He blinked trying to clear his vision suddenly his glasses were put on his face. While they didn't clear his vision fully they did help. He was staring up at Severus Snape and as always the man was frowning and looked to be in a bad mood. He swallowed his pulse and tried to slow his heartbeat.

Before he could say or do anything Snape was helping him sit up in bed and fixing the blankets and sheets around him.

"I'm sure you have a house elf around here who would be more than happy to get you some food, Potter." Harry not sure what to do nodded. It was true after all. "Then order some food and eat it. I will be back in awhile."

With that Snape left the room and Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dobby." Harry spoke into the room. The House elf appeared beaming at Harry with Adoration in his eyes. "Can you get some food? Something light but no soup please."

"Right away, Harry Potter, Sir!" Dobby beamed and vanished.

It wasn't long before Dobby appeared with a tray that would go over Harry's lap. Harry thanked the elf and began eating.

Dobby- 100/100

This is the relationship function. The higher you get the numbers the more people and creatures like you. Dobby couldn't love you more.

Harry smiled to himself as he slowly ate. He noted that his wand was on the bedside table and stared at it.

Skill unlocked.

Observe-1

You can get information of people and things.

Harry thought that was a great skill to have.

'Observe'

He was shocked when it actually worked and thrilled. He wouldn't have to actually say the skills aloud and look like an idiot or crazy.

Holly and phoenix feather 12 inches.

This wand belongs to Harry Potter.

that's all he got from it but then he didn't expect anymore. He finished eating and drank his milk he was feeling better already.

'Status'

When he'd gotten his power it had taught him about some very handy screens called Status, Skills, and Inventory.

Harry sighed over his stats they were pathetic. He was really pissed off about his INT and WIS stats.
