Harry Potter: Potter Verse Chapter 2 : Getting Into The Groove, a harry potter fanfic

DarkseidAlex asked me about the limit of Harry's harem. There is no limit, period. Harry can pair with whoever, how many it may be, as he wants and he will do just that. This is a game world with Harry as hero/MC, so no morality codes about polygamy or something else. If Harry want to do it he will get as many girls as his skill allows. Any one wants a particular girl to be in his Harrem PM me or say it in review, I will be sure to add it. It won't be sudden since it is a gradual process.

There will be a poll on who Harry's first Hogwarts female Harem member will be soon, probably a few chapters later.

I will post a new chapter during Saturdays and Sundays. I will try to put at least 1 to 2 chapters a week.

All suggestions, remarks, criticism and reviews are welcome.

He sighed and pressed yes making his way to the kitchen to make breakfast. Becoming a hero will have to wait until he was away from his relatives. He started going through the motion of cooking, suddenly an idea occurred. While he made breakfast he started storing some of them in his inventory. He procured a bottle from kitchen filled it with orange juice and put it away as well.

Sometime later, he put the food on table just as his relatives came. They started gorging through the food without a second glance towards Harry. Harry used this time to eat what was left for him, while casually casting Observe on his relatives.

Harry pressed yes and moved on to getting ready for school. Harry started grinding his Observe skill at school. With the help of Gamer's Mind he was able to listen in class without losing focus. This helped him a lot. Harry was no slouch, after getting a beating for doing better than Dudley in exams he under performed in tests while learning as much as he can. Adding his gamer ability increased his learning capability a bit more, small though the increase was. That's how by the end of a day's worth of class got him two new notification.

He learned French by reading a book for beginners. After that he read a French to English Dictionary. It was also the first game exploit he did ever since he got his powers. The thing about learning language is the one you talk to doesn't necessarily need to know it or even be human. As such Harry increased French by 32 levels just by saying "Bonjour" to an alley cat.

Raiding the library was not just a treasure trove of knowledge but a treasure trove in the literal sense. While browsing the aisles in the library he used observe to quickly get the things he wanted. On such round he found a hidden cache in the lowest part of one isle. Harry hastily opened it and put the whole thing into his inventory without looking in order to get it over with. He saw some pound notes among the items and was waiting when he was alone and safe to check out his treasure loot.

Harry also learned that the higher your stat points are the harder it is to grind, but learning new things increases the status.

Walking back to the Dursley's gave him another surprise by the form of three new messages.

Harry looked at his status menu to check his progress

Smiling he closed it and decided to call it a day.

You have slept in your bed. HP & MP restored to 100%. All negative status effects and ailments have been cured.

Harry woke up next morning to the yelling of his aunt to make breakfast as usual. He then realized as no new quest came up. 'If quest are hard to come by then leveling up would be harder than I thought'. After going through the morning routine of feeding the Dursley's , getting ready he reached school with the hopes of gaining more stat points and skills.

Harry listened to class and came to the realization that he could perfectly understand what was being taught and in some cases how ahead he is in knowledge. Like the day before Harry started grinding in library and eventually gained 3 more INT and 1 WIS along with increasing English to lvl 82 and French to lvl 53.

Today had the dreaded P.E. class and Harry wasn't looking forward to it. It wasn't because he disliked physical exertion, the reason was that he always got picked last for any game his fellow classmates choose to play. Lucky for Harry today they were made to run laps around the ground. After the exhausting P.E. class he was aware of his poor physical capacity. His new found power helped him in healing the years of malnutrition. The fact that STR, VIT, DEX all increased by 1 also was good news to him.

Harry has started storing fruits - mainly apples, oranges and bananas - , sandwiches, bottles of milk and juice into his inventory whenever he was in the cafeteria. Because of his inventory skill no one suspected a thing. He used these to increase his physical capacity, slowly but surely, through eating a healthy and regular food. By the end of the day he was able to gain 1 more INT and WIS.

In the evening Harry reached Number 4 Private Drive quicker than usual several hours ahead of his fat cousin. Harry wanted to get that game guide from Dudley today. Dumping his bag inside his cupboard, Harry slowly and steadily reached Dudley's room. Entering it he searched in the dumpster that's called Dudley's room. After half an hour he found it, he was just about to give up to, under the TV stand in the room. He also found 25 pounds, some candies and another book about gaming. Putting it all in his inventory he quickly got back to his cupboard just as quietly as he came.

When inside the cupboard Harry was greeted by a message.

Harry thought back to what he just learned from the game guide. 'It is easier to grind levels at earlier levels and gets harder later on. So save status point until necessary or in case of emergency like facing a Boss Battle or entering a Dungeon. Also LUC can't be grinded, only way to level it up is through status points. Alright then since there is no emergency I am going to save it for later'

By reaching a wise decision through logical thinking you have gained +2 WIS!

As soon as that message appeared Harry had a shit eating grin on his face. "Yes, finally now I can use all those skill books I found in the school library" He exclaimed aloud.

By reaching 10 points in WIS you have gained an additional +5% to MP regeneration!

You will get +5% to MP regeneration for every 10 points gained in WIS

Brimming with excitement of what awaits tomorrow he started reading the second book he took from Dudley. It was a story line of an RPG.

The hero of the game grows up in a village unknown of his past and heritage. One day the village is attacked by the evil kings army and only the hero survives. Vowing to defeat the evil king the Hero starts his journey to power. On the way he meets and allies with different powerful ladies - a priestess, a witch, a swordswoman and a noble woman. Travelling with them the hero conquers many monsters, saves villages and people, receives reward for his good deeds and learns about himself. Near the end of the game the hero comes to the knowledge that he was the son of the previous king, whom was killed by the evil king, and the rightful heir to the throne. At the finish hero defeats the evil king and becomes king himself and rules the land with the ladies that accompanied along with him.

Finishing the story, Harry came to a conclusion. 'Every game has a hero and a villain. If that is so and I am the hero of this story then who is the villain. Does the villain have minions like in the story. Will I meet fair maidens like the hero in his story.' Harry went to sleep that day filled with thoughts of maidens, monsters and a red eyed villain.

You have slept in your bed. HP & MP restored to 100%. All negative status effects and ailments have been cured.

Harry went through his daily routine in a never before seen vigor, eager to get to school and use the various skill books he found during his grinding times, he barely registered the leveling up of his cooking skill.

Only with the help of Gamer's Mind was Harry able to remain calm and collected in class until he get to go to the library. His knowledge level was more than what was taught now, so no new status points were awarded to him.

As soon as he was capable he reached the library and started collecting all the skill books there. Finally with all skill book in tow he reached a quiet corner and opened the first skill book.

Pressing yes Harry took off as fast as he could away from Dudley and gang. All too soon he ended up in the alley near the school without a way to escape. Harry could hear the shouting of his pursuers. Looking around he only saw the school roof as the only way to escape, but it was too high for his each. As the shouting got nearer Harry's heart started pounding hard even though his mind was calm. Closing his eyes he wished he was up there on the school roof. CRACK . A loud cracking sound echoed and Harry's head started spinning. After a moment he cleared up and looked around to find himself on the school roof top. His attention was drawn to the several windows that appeared one after the other.

Harry sat down on the roof to steady his heart rate. Even though his adrenaline was high Harry's mind was working through the new information. 'Apparation is sort of like teleportation only this one is more dangerous if the losing your body part comment is anything to go by. Better to wait a bit more before going anywhere near this skill.' Then he looked at the last message. 'First magical talent? That's a new one. This probably means all the skills that uses a set amount of mana. Damn I need to increase my MP a lot more if I want to be able to do more magical skills. Let's get out of here before others find out. Don't want my relatives to know more about my freakishness after all.' Harry didn't gain anymore points or quest that day.

You have slept in your bed. HP & MP restored to 100%. All negative status effects and ailments have been cured.

'Now that summer is here I can finally start learning new magical skills and start leveling up all that I do find out. Also like last summer I will have chores all around the neighborhood provided by my dear uncle hopefully some of them will turn out to be quest and give me some exp to level up.'

"Boy come here now" Vernon's voice rang through the house. Harry sighed thinking 'let's see what the whale wants.' "Coming uncle" he called out. Reaching the kitchen he saw his uncle already sitting at the table waiting for him. Not to cause any scene he quickly approached his uncle.

"Listen up boy, summer has started and I don't want to see you lazing around. You have to earn your keep here. I have talked to the neighbors and you will be doing chores for them like last year." Vernon rumbled " And you better do a good job because if I hear one complaint it will be your cupboard and no food for the rest of the summer, Am I clear"

"Yes Uncle Vernon" Harry replied quickly. In his mind Harry was calculating how to time manage all the chores and his special training and also wondering if he will get any quests. Whatever the case one thing was sure for Harry "It is going to be a long eventful summer this time"
